Abstract:
A receiver for the CDMA system, in order to reduce a power consumption during a suspension period of intermittent receiving operation, monitors a suspension period t1 by means of a low-power timer 51 so that a VC-TCXO 1, a reference signal group generation unit 2 and a receiving unit 3 are turned off and a modem unit 4 is set to a sleep state. Upon resumption of receiving operation, a high-accuracy timer 44 is supplied with a start (d) to require counting of time t3 and a part of a received signal is stored. A PN code phase of stored data is calculated in a PN code phase calculator 46 during a period t3 to obtain an indication value i for a phase deviation. State vectors for short code and long code and further a reception time t4 are calculated on the basis of the indication value i to be set. When the high-accuracy timer 44 counts t3 and produces 0V(d), demodulation operation by a rake demodulation unit 40, a demultiplexing unit 41 and a descrambler unit 42 is started in accordance with the setting and is continued during the reception time t4.
Abstract:
Disclosed is an apparatus and method for increasing the efficiency of usage of an assigned rf spectrum used by a cellular or wireless communication system for a large number of high speed data transfer user requests. An MS, upon analyzing a plurality of parameters available to the MS may determine that although it needs more than a single channel to accommodate a given software data generating application, it may adequately and optimally use less than the maximum number of channels (or maximum data rate) that the MS can support. The MS then generates a request to the base station for additional channels (or a supplemental channel of a higher data rate) to transmit in one data burst a specified total number of quantity of data. The request may also specify the maximum number of channels (or maximum data rate) that the MS can support along with an indication of relative priority by means of indicating the amount of time over which the burst occur as an optimum situation for the MS. The response from the base station may downwardly adjust the number of channels (or data rate) from that considered optimal in the request by a mobile station for a high speed data burst when available system resources are inadequate to accommodate all requests.
Abstract:
Search control means 8 of a mobile station apparatus divides a search window received into a number of search widths corresponding to the number of search correlators 3 and makes each of correlators 3 carry out correlative detection about these divided search widths simultaneously in a 1st integrating time. It further selects multiple phases in descending order of detected correlative values, makes each correlator carry out correlative detection about these selected phases simultaneously in an integrating time longer than the 1st integrating time and combines powers of correlative values by the number of demodulable phases starting from the largest detected correlative value.
Abstract:
A direct sequence spread spectrum receiver receives an input signal on a signal carrier frequency. The receiver generates a local oscillator signal which is offset from the carrier frequency. The input signal and the local oscillator signal are mixed producing an IF signal which is converted to a digital sample and stored in memory. A corresponding replica signal is generated and correlated with the digital sample. The offset of the local oscillator frequency from the carrier frequency is sufficiently large to cause the harmonics of the replica signal to fall above the highest frequency of the IF signal. Such a receiver is useful in global positioning satellite (GPS) signal processing where a replica generator must be used to acquire the incoming satellite transmissions.

Abstract:
A radiotelephone (10) capable of operation within a CDMA radiotelephone system. The radiotelephone includes a receiver (30) for receiving a paging channel transmission; a system time pseudonoise (PN) generator (18); and despreading circuitry (20, 22, 24 26, 28), having an input coupled to the receiver, for despreading the paging channel transmission received during at least a portion of the assigned slot. The assigned slot is predetermined to have a duration that is three times the duration of a rollover period of the system time pseudonoise (PN) generator (26.667 msec) and four times the duration of one frame (20 msec), or 80 msec. The use of predetermined masks for initializing the PN generators, and in particular a Long Code PN generator (32), is also described.
Abstract:
A method is disclosed for detecting the presence of and synchronizing to burst transmissions which contain repeated acquisition codes. The received signal is applied as an input to a surface acoustic wave (SAW) filter which is matched to detect one repetition of the code. The SAW filter correlation output is sampled at times corresponding to the times of arrival of each repetition of the code. The mean value and variance of the correlation values for each repetition are computed, and the system declares an acquisition when the mean value and variance meet certain criteria.
Abstract:
A subscriber access unit includes a transceiver for providing wireless communication of digital signals. The digital signals are communicated to a base station using at least one radio frequency (RF) channel via Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) modulated radio signals defined by orthogonal codes. Orthogonal subchannels are made available by the base station within each CDMA RF channel. A bandwidth manager is connected to the transceiver, and when the transceiver is actively sending data, at least one orthogonal subchannel is allocated by the base station on an as-needed basis. The number of orthogonal subchannels being allocated changes during a given session. The transceiver, when powered on but not actively sending data, provides an idling mode connection on a reverse link. The idling mode connection is based on an orthogonal subchannel shared with at least one other subscriber access unit, but utilizes different time slots of the shared orthogonal subchannel.
Abstract:
Quick frequency tracking (QFT), quick time tracking (QTT), and non-causal pilot filtering (NCP) are used to detect sporadically transmitted signaling, e.g., paging indicators. For QFT, multiple hypothesized frequency errors are applied to an input signal to obtain multiple rotated signals. The energies of the rotated signals are computed. The hypothesized frequency error with the largest energy is provided as a frequency error estimate. For QTT, coherent accumulation is performed on the input signal for a first set of time offsets, e.g., early, on-time, and late. Interpolation, energy computation, and non-coherent accumulation are then performed to obtain a timing error estimate with higher time resolution. For NCP, pilot symbols are filtered with a non-causal filter to obtain pilot estimates for one antenna for non-STTD and for two antennas for STTD. The frequency and timing error estimates and the pilot estimates are used to detect the signaling.
