Abstract

Embodiments of the present invention provide a method for acquiring a signal to noise ratio (SNR), a signal receiving device and a signal sending device. Through the embodiments of the present invention, an SNR of the signal receiving device (i.e., a receiving end) can satisfy the setting requirement, that is, the test condition that an SNR does not contain a precoding gain, so that a subsequent test is valid.

receive power of the first noise signal received on the at least one first resource element; or

transmit power of the first noise signal received on the at least one first resource element.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein power of the first noise signal having the signal transmit power adjusted comprises:

receive power of the first noise signal received on the at least one second resource element; or

transmit power of the first noise signal received on the at least one second resource element.

4. A method for acquiring a signal to noise ratio, the method comprising:

sending, on at least one first resource element, first data to a receiving end, wherein the first data is data before precoding, so that the receiving end obtains a first signal to noise ratio according to signal receiving power of the first data received on the at least one first resource element and according to first power of a first noise signal received on the at least one first resource element; and

sending, on at least one second resource element, the first data having a signal transmit power adjusted, so that the receiving end obtains a second signal to noise ratio according to the following manner:

obtaining a second signal to noise ratio according to signal receiving power of the first data that has the signal transmit power adjusted and is received on the at least one second resource element and according to the first power of the first noise signal received on the at least one first resource element; or

obtaining a second signal to noise ratio according to signal receiving power of the first data that has the signal transmit power adjusted and is received on the at least one second resource element and according to power of the first noise signal that has signal transmit power adjusted and is received on the at least one second resource element; or

obtaining a second signal to noise ratio according to the signal receiving power of the first data received on the at least one first resource element and according to power of the first noise signal that has signal transmit power adjusted and is received on the at least one second resource element.

5. The method according to claim 4 , wherein the first power comprises:

receive power of the first noise signal sent on the at least one first resource element; or

transmit power of the first noise signal sent on the at least one first resource element.

6. The method according to claim 4 , wherein power of the first noise signal having the signal transmit power adjusted comprises:

receive power of the first noise signal sent on the at least one second resource element; or

transmit power of the first noise signal sent on the at least one second resource element.

7. A signal receiving device, comprising:

a receiver, configured to receive a first noise signal on at least one first resource element and receive, on the at least one first resource element, first data sent by a signal sending device, wherein the first data is data before precoding;

a processor, configured to obtain a first signal to noise ratio according to signal receiving power of the first data received on the at least one first resource element by the receiver and according to first power of the first noise signal received on the at least one first resource element by the receiver;

wherein the receiver is further configured to receive, on at least one second resource element, the first data having signal transmit power adjusted, and/or receive, on the at least one second resource element, the first noise signal having a signal transmit power adjusted; and

wherein the processor is further configured to obtain a second signal to noise ratio according to the following manner:
