A wireless transmit/receive unit comprising a radio frequency signal measurement device that is configured to produce a value indicating a radio frequency signal, noise and interference received power at an antenna connector. An average noise plus interference measuring device is configured to produce a value indicating a measured average noise plus interference metric. A received signal to noise indication calculation device is configured to calculate a received signal to noise indicator from the value indicating a radio frequency signal, noise and interference received power at an antenna connector and the value indicates a measured average noise plus interference metric.
