So... if the noise channel is on your laptop, you must have generated this channel? Is it a simulated channel? Are you specifying the noise power?

You're not giving us much information.

Thank you! What i am trying to do is very simple: I don't use USRP, i just used a vector as a bit source and have it modulated and transmitted through a noise channel (on my laptop ^.^ ). Now i can set the value of noise's amplitude, but there seems to be no way to determine the bit energy! How to get it? Thank you!!!

If you look through the relevant emails on the list, it seems no one really understands the translation between the short values from the USRP and absolute energy --- ADC and processing behavior complicate the issue. However, it is much easier to estimate the ratio of Signal to Noise --- this is a relative quantity. Just figure out receiver power in the absence of a signal and in the presence of one...
