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 32):
The apparatus of  claim 31 , wherein the processor is to predict network performance at a second modulation format, and wherein to predict the network performance at the second modulation format, the processor is to:\n compute displacements of the sequence of symbols with respect to the sequence of modulation symbol decisions based on the set of decision boundaries for the first modulation format; and compare the displacements to one or more decision boundaries associated with a second set of decision boundaries associated with the second modulation format.
