Abstract
A wireless receiver, such as in a mobile station or base station within a wireless communication network, estimates the frame error rate (FER) for one channel using signal information received on another, associated channel. As such, FER estimates may be generated for a channel of interest during discontinuous periods of that channel, or where the duty cycle of the channel is too low to support a desired FER estimation rate. Signal information received on the associated channel is manipulated as needed to conform to the format of the channel of interest, such as the encoding format, and then decoded as if it had been received on the channel of interest. Thus, the signal information is treated as virtually encoded data for the channel of interest, and may comprise essentially any type of signal that is known or determinable, such as a pilot, synchronization, traffic, or control channel.
