What is the difference between SINR and CINR?

SINR - Signal to Interference and Noise Ratio CINR - Carrier to Interference and Noise Ratio difference between those to is difference between carrier and signal carrier is signal who doesn't "carry" any information . it must be modulated( by phase,freq or amplitude) and those changes convey information. carrier is unmodulated signal signal is defined as useful signal which carries information SINR is power of signal to power of interfenence and noise ratio
