Abstract:
The invention relates to a method and apparatus for evaluating a network and for predicting network performance for a higher order modulation by analyzing network signals modulated using a lower order modulation format. A margin index may be generated for the current or projected modulation formats based on displacement vectors for received symbols to indicate a margin remaining before a codeword error occurs to alert the network operator of potential performance issues before actual codeword errors occur.

Claim (Index 39):
The method of  claim 36 , where in the processor comprises at least one of the following:\n computing a symbol margin-to-error value for each received symbol of the received symbols for the first modulation format using the set of decision boundaries; and computing a projected symbol margin-to-error value for each received symbol for the second modulation format using a second set of decision boundaries associated with the second modulation format.
