Receiver based saturation estimator
First Claim
1. A processor-implemented method of estimating a characteristic of a transmitter or transmission medium from a transmitted communication signal received from the transmitter, comprising:
- filtering the transmitted communication signal to generate a received symbol sequence;
decoding the received symbol sequence to recover data;
analyzing the data for errors; and
based upon the analyzing step, then;
generating a transmitted symbol sequence;
comparing the transmitted symbol sequence to the received symbol sequence; and
estimating the characteristic of the transmitter or transmission medium based on the comparison of the transmitted symbol sequence to the received symbol sequence.

Abstract
A processor-implemented method of estimating the saturation level of a transmitter from a transmitted communication signal received from the transmitter comprises generating a received data signal from the transmitted communication signal received from the transmitter, generating a transmitted data signal from the received data signal that corresponds to the actual data signal generated at the transmitter, comparing the transmitted data signal to the received data signal, and estimating the saturation level of the transmitter based on the comparison of the transmitted data signal to the received data signal.
