Summary: 
This paper proposes a SNR estimation scheme based on Gibbs sampler. This scheme can estimate SNR using a very short received sequence, and does not require any prior information of the transmitted symbol. Compared with the existing estimators, the performance of this method is better when real SNR is larger than 5 dB in both single path channel and multi-path channel.
