Abstract

A method for detection of a control channel includes receiving data transmitted via the control channel. A control channel receive quality is estimated based on a metric difference between a metric of a known final trellis state and a minimum metric amongst the metrics of the trellis states based on the received data. It is decided whether or not to detect the control channel depending on the estimated control channel receive quality.
