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 provides for a Time Division DuplexnullRadio 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:
The present invention is a communication system, including a receiver and method for receiving one of a plurality of channels in a communication signal. An adaptive matched filter produces a filtered signal by using a weighting signal. A rake receiver produces a filter weighting signal using a pseudo-noise signal generator. A channel despreader despreads the filtered signal using the pseudo-noise signal generated to produce a despread channel signal of the selected channel. A pilot channel despreader despreads the filtered signal using a pseudo-noise signal generator to produce a despread pilot signal of the pilot channel. A hard decision processor receives the despread channel signal of the selected channel and produces a correction signal. A phase-locked loop utilizes at least the despread pilot signal and produces a phase correction signal which is applied to produce phase-corrected channel signals.
Abstract:
A global pilot and unwanted traffic signal canceler for a spread spectrum communication system receiver that reduces their contributive noise effects. The present invention effectively cancels the global pilot and unwanted, active traffic signals prior to decoding a desired traffic signal at the receiver. The system and method decreases the bit error rate (BER) yielding an increased signal-to-noise ratio.
Abstract:
A reception method including generating complex four-phase pseudo-random sequences comprising: providing a register having a plurality of bits initially set to zero; combining a predetermined value with the plurality of bits within said register to produce a bit combination; replacing the contents of the register with the bit combination; and utilizing bits from at least one predetermined location within said shift register to generate the pseudo-random sequences.
Abstract:
A system employing CDMA techniques for receiving a transmitted signal wherein the transmitted signal includes a plurality of short codes, each of which is transmitted repetitively over a fixed period of time and where the received signal has CW interference in addition to the transmitted signal. The system detects the presence of the short code in a plurality of time phases of the received signal by calculating a likelihood ratio for each phase. The likelihood ratio takes into account the current short code.
Abstract:
A system for balancing a signal having I and Q components includes means for cross correlating the I and Q components to produce a cross correlation product; means for adjusting the gain of each I and Q signal component in accordance with said cross correlation product; and means for adding one component with the adjustable gain of the other component to produce a phase-balanced signal.

A method for operating a user equipment employing a CDMA technique comprises combining a plurality of spread spectrum data signals into a combined signal having a fluctuating power level corresponding to the data signals; modulating the combined signal to produce an RF signal; measuring average power of the combined signal over a selected time period; adaptively limiting the combined signal power to a calculated level based at least in part on the measured power; and transmitting the RF signal.
Abstract:
An apparatus for controlling transmission power during the establishment of a channel in a CDMA communication system utilizes the transmission of a short code from a subscriber unit to a base station 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 spreading code. The ramp-up starts from a power level that is lower than the required power level for detection by the base station. The subscriber unit quickly increases transmission power while repeatedly transmitting the short code until the signal is detected by the base station. Once the base station detects the short code, it sends an indication to the subscriber unit to cease increasing transmission power. The use of short codes limits power overshoot and interference to other subscriber units and permits the base station to quickly synchronize to the spreading code used by the subscriber unit.
