Abstract

An estimated signal quality measurement (224) of a received signal is determined by sampling a first signal quality measurement (208) at a first time and sampling a second signal quality measurement (203) at a second time. The second signal quality measurement being sampled from a different source than the first signal quality measurement. A predicted signal quality value is then calculated at a third time based on the first and second received signal quality measurements. Next, a signal quality value of a signal received at the third time is measured. The predicted signal quality value and the measured signal quality value are then used to estimate a signal quality measurement (224) of the received signals (203, 208).
