Abstract
A methodology of signal estimation over the generalized fading channel can be applied to any parameter whose dB value is required to be estimated. The estimator is shown to be asymptotically efficient in a number of samples and the amount of fading. Theoretical and simulation results confirm that the SINR estimator implemented using the methodology outperforms the sample-average estimator, which is currently used in most of systems and robust to the channel variation.
