Abstract

In this paper, we propose a novel signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) estimation method for linear modulations on additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel. It estimates noise power directly without estimating the received total power. The estimation mean and mean square error (MSE) are analyzed theoretically and verified by simulations. Results show that the proposed SNR estimator performs better at low SNR than the conventional estimators while it suffers a little degradation at high SNR. Moreover, the proposed estimator can be implemented with less real multiplications than the conventional ones.
