Abstract

Techniques are provided to compute the physical carrier to interference-plus-noise ratio (PCINR) in a wireless communication system. In one embodiment, the PCINR is computed from received signals in active subcarriers in a preamble of a wireless transmission frame. In another embodiment, the PCINR is computed from a block of contiguous subcarriers in a symbol of received wireless transmission. The PCINR may be used to adjust a system parameter associated with wireless communication between wireless communication devices.
