Maximum likelihood estimation of local average SNR in Rician fading channels

A maximum likelihood estimator for the local average signal-to-noise ratio in a slowly fading Rician channel is proposed. The probability density function of the estimator is derived and the mean, the variance and the mean square error of the estimator are obtained. The performance of the estimator is examined. Numerical results show the asymptotic optimality of the estimator.
