Abstract
Access terminals are adapted to facilitate estimation of signal-to-noise ratios for received wireless transmissions. According to at least one example, a wireless communication device can receive a plurality of data symbols. The wireless communication device can determine a first estimate of a signal-to-noise ratio based on first estimates of a signal power and a noise power associated with the plurality of received data symbols. When the first estimate of the signal-to-noise ratio is below a predetermined threshold, a second estimate of the signal-to-noise ratio can be determined based on second estimates of the signal power and the noise power for the received data symbols. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also included.
