Claim 12:
13. A computer program comprising a non-transitory program storage device comprising instructions for causing an apparatus to perform at least the following:
determining a first signal quality estimate for a signal;
determining a block error rate estimate based on acknowledgements or decoding results for a plurality of data blocks of the signal;
determining a second signal quality estimate for the signal based on the block error rate estimate;
recursively determining the block error rate based on a weighted sum of a previous block error rate estimate and an output of an indicator function,
wherein the indicator function is configured to output a positive value for a negative acknowledgement or unsuccessful decoding of a current data block and a substantially zero value for a positive acknowledgement or successful decoding of the current data block;
determining a signal quality offset based on a difference between the first signal quality estimate and the second signal quality estimate; and
determining at least one transmission parameter for at least one subsequent data block based on the first signal quality estimate and the signal quality offset.
