Abstract
An apparatus and method for estimating a carrier-to-interference-and-noise ratio (CINR) of a received signal in an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system are provided. A band-pass filter attenuates a signal region of the received signal and passes a signal in a noise region. A first power calculator calculates interference and noise power of the noise-region signal received from the band-pass filter. A second power calculator calculates total received power of the received signal. A ratio calculator calculates a CINR based on the interference and noise power, and the total received power.
