Channel quality estimation and rate adaptation for cellular mobile radio.

We propose a technique to measure channel quality in terms of signal-to-interference plus noise ratio (SINR) for the transmission of signals over fading channels. The Euclidean distance (ED) metric, associated with the decoded information sequence or a suitable modification thereof, is used as a cha...
