Hi Roman,

well, it's a short term sample variance, indeed.
Is your received signal real-valued? That's surprising me a bit!
I don't think "variance per packet" is really a meaningful thing to
say. If we're talking proper variance, that's a property of a Random
Variable, not of some short observation of a short signal. I'd be
willing to say that, since variance is the same as power for
theoretically infinitely long signal, and energy is the same (or, at
least, proportional) to sample variance of a short observation, that
you're looking for the energy in a packet. Is that right?

Maybe you could give us a bit of a feeling what you're trying to do by
calculating the variance?

Best regards,
Marcus
