1. A method for a wireless communication system, comprising:
- receiving a first signal over a first channel and a second signal over a second channel, said second signal received at a different signal power level than said first signal; and
determining the SNR of the first signal based upon a measured SNR of the second signal.

Abstract
A method and apparatus for providing uplink signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) estimation in a wireless communication system. A first signal is received over a first channel and a second signal is received over a second channel, where the second signal is received at a higher signal power level than said first signal. A signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the second signal is measured, and the SNR of the first signal is determined based at least in part upon the measured SNR of the second signal.
