Abstract:
A synchronization signal is used in a wireless time division duplex communication system. The time division duplex communication system uses time slots in repeating frames for communication. The synchronization signal is transmitted from a base station to identify a code group associated with the base station. The synchronization signal comprises a spreading code associated with a selected base station. Binary bits identifying a code group associated with the selected base station are modulated by said spreading code using binary phase shift keying.
Abstract:
The present invention provides for a Time Division Duplex-Radio Local Area Network (TDD-RLAN) which includes a Radio Access Network Internet Protocol (RAN IP) gateway that enables connectivity to the public Internet. The system may serve as a stand-alone system or be incorporated into a UMTS used with conventional Core Network, particularly for tracking and implementing AAA functions in the Core Network.

Abstract:
A subscriber unit for wireless digital communications which supports all types of voice and data communications while utilizing the minimum amount of bandwidth for the particular application. The subscriber unit efficiently allocates bandwidth on demand. The subscriber unit establishes a channel and generates the necessary spreading codes to support the highest capacity channel desired. Portions of the communication spectrum bandwidth are not reserved until actually required. Since the call setup is performed at the beginning of a call from that subscriber unit, including the assignment of spreading codes, a subscriber unit can quickly gain access to the portion of the spectrum that is required to support the particular application.
Abstract:
A base station for use in a wireless spread spectrum communication system produces at least one channel signal and a global signal. The at least one channel and global signals are combined. The combined signal is transmitted. A desired transmit power level of the global signal is determined using a transmit power level of the combined signal. A transmit power level of the global signal is adjusted using the desired transmit power level.
Abstract:
An improved sequence design for code-division multiple access (CDMA) communications generating complex four-phase pseudo-random code sequences which may be directly mapped to a quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK) signal constellation.
Abstract:
A base station for controlling transmission power during the establishment of a communication channel utilizes the reception of a short code during initial power ramp-up. The short code is a sequence for detection by the base station which has a much shorter period than a conventional access code. The ramp-up starts from a power level that is lower than the required power level for detection by the base station. The power of the short code is quickly increased until the signal is detected by the base station. Once the base station detects the short code, it transmits an indication that the short code has been detected.
Abstract:
The present invention is a user equipment for carrier offset recovery during reception of a communication signal over an air interface using a plurality of channels in a pilot signal. The user equipment comprises an adaptive match filter for producing a filtered signal using a weighting signal, a rake receiver for producing a filter weighting signal, and a means for defining the filter weighting signal with a correction signal. A channel despreader is also included in the user equipment for despreading the filtered signal using a pseudo-noise signal for a selected channel to produce a despread channel signal of the selected channel. A pilot channel despreader is coupled to the adaptive match filter output for despreading the filter signal using a pseudo-noise signal generated for the pilot channel, producing a despread pilot signal of the pilot channel. A hard decision processor, associated with a complex conjugate processor, is also included in the user equipment for producing the correction signal. A phase lock loop, which uses the despread pilot signal, produces a phase correction signal, which is applied to produce phase corrected channel signals.
Abstract:
A digital spread spectrum communication system employing pilot-aided coherent multipath demodulation effects a substantial reduction in global-pilot and assigned-pilot overheads. The system and method uses a QPSK-modulated data signal whereby the modulated data is removed and the recovered carrier is used for channel amplitude and phase estimation. The resulting signal has no data modulation and is used as a pseudo-pilot signal. In conjunction with the pseudo-pilot signal, a multiple-input phase-locked loop is employed further eliminating errors due to carrier-offset by using a plurality of pseudo-pilot signals. A pilot signal is required to resolve absolute phase ambiguity, but at a greatly reduced magnitude.
Abstract:
A spread spectrum time division duplex user equipment uses frames having time slots for communication. The user equipment receives power commands and a first communication having a transmission power level in a first time slot. A power level of the first communication is measured as received. A pathloss estimate is determined based on in part the measured received first communication power level and the first communication transmission power level. A transmission power level for the second communication in a second time slot form the user equipment is set based on in part the pathloss estimate weighted by a quality factor adjusted by the power command. The quality factor decreases as a number of time slots between the first and second time slots increases.
