Abstract
Coefficients for an Minimum Mean Square Error (MMSE) equalizer may be generated without the receiver performing noise power estimation. The noise power may be inferred from knowledge of the Modulation and Coding Scheme (MCS) that is selected by the link adaptation system. The link adaptation system dynamically converges to a data rate, and that data rate implies an Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) range within which the communication device operates. Using the SNR range, an upper end of the range is selected and used as an SNR value for the MMSE equalizer calculations.
