Abstract

A method includes receiving a Code-Division Multiple Access (CDMA) signal carrying at least a data channel, a pilot channel and a control channel. A first noise level is estimated on the pilot channel. A second noise level is estimated on the control channel. The first estimated noise level and the second estimated noise level are combined to produce a noise estimate of noise on the data channel.
