METHOD AND DEVICE FOR ESTIMATING A PERFORMANCE OF A WIRELESS COMMUNICATION NETWORK

A method for estimating a performance of a wireless communication network for a given time-frequency resource allocation is disclosed. The communications in said wireless communication network are subject to interferences whose activation is modeled by a binary random variable bt indicating whether an interferer is active or not at a time instant t, the discrete-time stochastic process {bt}t∈[-∞;+∞] being modelled by a Markov chain with memory M. A frequency channel sequence associated with at least one set of consecutive observations of interference activation is determined (S304) from a frequency hopping sequence. The Markov chain associated with the determined frequency channel sequence is then identified (S306) and a set of probabilities of the identified Markov chain is updated (S308) according to the obtained at least one set of consecutive observations of interference activation.
