Abstract
A method and corresponding system for generating an estimate of at least one of a signal power, a noise power and a signal to interference ratio for signal samples received via first and second wireless channels, the signal samples corresponding to pilot symbols transmitted in respective different structures via the first and second wireless channels. The method comprises: calculating first and second variables, each variable being a sequence of values computed from the received signal samples and the pilot symbols for each respective first and second wireless channel; generating first and second channel estimates from the first and second variables; combining the first and second channel estimates to generate a combined channel estimate; and generating at least one of the signal power, noise power and SIR using the combined channel estimate.
