A device and method are provided for reducing the peak-to-average power ratio of a mobile station's transmit power in a mobile communication system by spreading and modulating the transmission data by a complex spreading sequence. The complex spreading sequence is generated to have a plurality of chips and a phase difference of 90° between every two successive complex chips in response to each chip of a PN (Pseudo Noise) sequence. The device and method flexibly control the mobile transmit power by limiting its peak-to-average power ratio to a specific range and thus confining the mobile transmit power to a linear characteristic portion in a characteristic curve of a power amplifier. The phase of the complex spreading sequence is prevented from shifting by 180° (i.e., &pgr;) to maintain the mobile transmit power in the linear portion of the power amplifier characteristic curve.

A spread spectrum communication device having a channel estimator and a rake receiver with a number of rake fingers. The spread spectrum communication device is used in a direct sequence spread spectrum, code division multiple access system. In the spread spectrum system, symbols are spread by a pseudo-noise reference sequence, with a chip rate substantially higher than a symbol rate of the symbols, the spread symbols are modulated onto a carrier, and the carrier modulated signals are transmitted over an air-interface. The air-interface tends to produce multipath components of the transmitted signal. The spread spectrum communication device receives the multipath components, and demodulates symbols intended for it, by de-spreading the received signals with a locally generated pseudo-noise reference sequence, and coherently adding multipath resolved components intended for it. After carrier demodulation of the received signals, the spread spectrum communication device samples the demodulated signals with a sampling rate exceeding the chip rate so that samples at a sub-chip resolution are obtained. Individual rake fingers coherently combine multipath components resolved at a sub-chip resolution, whereas separate rake fingers process multipath components spaced apart more than one chip. The rake receiver coherently combines the sub-chip resolved multipath components as coherently added in the individual rake fingers, and the multipath components spaced apart more than one chip.

Apparatus for a transmitter and a receiver which enhance the performance of a system coherent demodulation by utilizing non-pilot sub-channels to enhance the accuracy of estimates of amplitude and phase noise inherent in the transmission channel is described. This enhancement is accomplished by utilizing the corrected received data on a fundamental channel to enhance a pilot channel estimate, which is subsequently utilized by a dot product module in demodulating a supplementary data channel.

A clock regenerating circuit is capable of stably generating a correct regenerated clock operated based upon a correlation signal output also in a system for multiplexing plural series of signals in which a signal which is spread with a spreading code is delayed each other by optional several chips. Only a portion of a correlation signal having a correlation peak is sequentially extended on a time axis, and is compared with a threshold value which is given from a terminal in comparators. The resultants of comparison are added to each other in adders to specify a position where an overflow occurred (the position representing advance or lag of the clock). Switching of the frequency dividing circuit is conducted in a clock regenerating unit in response to the output so that a clock which is in a correct timing relation is reproduced. In case of delay multiplexing, each component is controlled to lower the threshold value, to increase overflow, and narrow the time window with the increase in the multiplexing number, to provide an optimal condition.

A phased array spread spectrum system for maximizing signal strength of a spread-spectrum signal with multipath through the use of receiving means, delaying means, combining means, despreading means, generating means, storing means and comparing means. The receiving means receives a plurality of spread-spectrum signals and a plurality of phased versions of the plurality of spread-spectrum signals. The delaying means delays the received plurality of spread-spectrum signals with respect to the plurality of phased versions of the plurality of spread-spectrum signals by a plurality of delays. The combining means combines the delayed spread-spectrum signals and the plurality of phased versions of the plurality of spread-spectrum signals as a plurality of combined signals. The despreading means despreads the plurality of combined signals as a plurality of despread signals. The generating means generates a plurality of magnitude values from the plurality of despread signals. The storing means stores a plurality of previous-magnitude values previously generated by the generating means and a plurality of present magnitude values presently generated by the generating means. The comparing means compares the previous-magnitude values and the present-magnitude values and, responsive to the comparison, outputs a plurality of comparison signals. The delaying means responds to the plurality of comparison signals by lengthening or shortening the plurality of delays.

A CDMA modem includes a modem transmitter having: a code generator which provides an associated pilot code signal and which generates a plurality of message code signals; a spreading circuit which produces a spread-spectrum message signal by combining each of the information signals with a respective one of the message code signals; and a global pilot code generator that provides a global pilot code signal to which the message code signals are synchronized. The CDMA modem also includes a modem receiver having an associated pilot code generator and a group of associated pilot code correlators for correlating code-phase delayed versions of the associated pilot signal with a receive CDM signal to produce a despread associated pilot signal. The code phase of the associated pilot signal is changed responsive to an acquisition signal value until a pilot signal is received. The associated pilot code tracking logic adjusts the associated pilot code signal in phase responsive to the acquisition signal so that the signal power level of the despread associated pilot code signal is maximized. Finally, the CDMA modem receiver includes a group of message signal acquisition circuits, each including a plurality of receive message signal correlators which correlate respective local received message code signal to the CDM signal to produce a respective despread received message signal.
摘要:
A method and an apparatus for encoding of trellis coded direct sequence spread spectrum communication signals are provided. An input data bit sequence is received into a transmitter where it is encoded and modulated using trellis code modulation. The encoding comprises encoding the signal using a convolutional coder having a rate equal to 1/log2 (M), where M is a number of biorthogonal Walsh sequences. The encoded and modulated signal is spread by mapping a number of branches of the trellis code to a number of biorthogonal Walsh sequences. The mapping comprises labeling the branches of the trellis code using the biorthogonal Walsh sequences. This mapping uses the output of a convolutional coder as a memory address where the memory address contains one of a number of biorthogonal Walsh sequences. The spread signal may be a binary phase-shift keyed (BPSK) data signal, but is not so limited. A pilot signal is embedded into the spread BPSK data signal to provide phase coherency between the reverse link transmitter and receiver. The BPSK data signal is then multiplexed to form a quadrature phase-shift keyed (QPSK) signal. The QPSK signal is spread using a pseudo-random noise (PN) sequence prior to being transmitted.

A second communications device is coupled to the processor and configured to receive the second timing signal and produce a timing word therefrom. The second communications. device receives the timing word and the transmitted data and derives synchronization information therefrom. The derived synchronization information is related to the first timing signal. The second communications device performs one or more operations in accordance with the received second timing signal and the derived synchronization information.
摘要:
The spreading code generation apparatus of the present invention temporarily stores a spreading code string generated from one spreading code generator in memory (shift register or RAM). Then, after providing a necessary delay based on synchronization acquisition information output from a searcher, the code generation apparatus supplies the spreading code stored in memory to one of a plurality of correlators. This makes it possible to give a spreading code whose phase is adjusted to correspond to a specific path of multi-paths to the correlator.
