Abstract
The present invention relates to a method for measuring radio channel quality in a radio communication system. In the method a modulated signal is received over a communication channel. The modulated signal has been modulated by using modulation parameters. A decoder decodes (305) the modulated signal and forms decoded data. The decoder creates (306) a decoder performance indicator (PS) that depends on the decoded data. Then a radio channel quality indicator (RCQI) is created, the radio channel quality indicator being essentially independent of the modulation parameters.
