Abstract

A method for coherent estimation of the traffic-to-pilot energy ratio is presented. A received preamble is decoded, and then re-encoded. The received preamble is then multiplied by the re-encoded preamble. The results are summed, squared, and then divided by a pilot energy value. In another method, a message carrying energy information can be inserted between a subpacket preamble and a subpacket.
