Abstract

The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for determining channel degradation information in which a known data sequence is compared to a transmitted version of the known data sequence to provide such information. To assess performance of a public land mobile network, it is convenient if assessment apparatus is located in the network rather than in a mobile station. The invention provides a technique for efficiently sending data characterizing channel degradation caused by the network to mobile station communication channel from the mobile station back to the network, where the channel degradation information is reconstructed.
