Method of and apparatus for computation of unbiased power delay profile

Abstract

A method of determining a noise-corrected power delay profile includes determining a power delay profile and calculating a noise-corrected power delay profile. The step of calculating the noise-corrected power delay profile includes using a biased noise-floor power estimate, the power delay profile, and a noise-scaling factor.
