    摘要: Correlation times for a RAKE receiver are determined from time differentials between multipath components of a received signal based on correlation metrics, preferably signal strength measurements, associated with the multipath components. According to various embodiments of the present invention, selection strategies are employed in which “desired signal collecting” and “interference collecting” correlation times may be selected using average optimal (AO) or instantaneous optimal (IO) selection criteria. These criteria may include, for example, thresholds for signal strengths associated with multipath components of a signal at the correlation times, where the signal strengths may include absolute or relative measures of signal power or signal to noise ratio. According to alternative embodiments, correlation times are selected using an inverse filter of an estimated channel response. Related apparatus is also described.

    摘要: A CDMA communication system uses a RAKE receiver, a code correlator and a multi-code joint detector to jointly detect symbols in two or more received signals contained within a composite signal. The RAKE receiver separates the composite signal into two or more RAKE output signals by despreading the composite signal using selected spreading codes. The multi-code joint detector jointly detects the symbols in the received signals using the RAKE receiver output signals, cross-correlations between the spreading codes generated by the code correlator, and RAKE combining weights based on a noise covariance matrix. The multi-code joint detector also includes a trellis that represents possible states and state transitions and a branch metric calculator for calculating branch metrics associated with the state transitions based on the RAKE receiver output signals and the cross-correlations between the spreading codes.

    摘要: Received signals are decoded based on a coupling between bits of the received signals introduced by the channel over which the signal is transmitted or by the transmitter which transmitted the signals. For example, in a higher-order modulation scheme, such as 8-PSK, individual bits grouped in a given symbol are generally coupled rather than fully independent. Accordingly, decoding information on a first one of the bits processed through a forward error correction decoder may be used to adjust the soft information from a demodulator for one or more of the other bits contained in the same symbol for use in processing those bits through the forward error correction decoder. Particularly where interleaving is utilized, a first bit may be processed through the decoder before the soft information on another of the bits is needed, thereby allowing an intermediate decision soft value for the first bit to be used in generating the input value to the decoder for the subsequent bit. Alternatively, a multi-pass process may be utilized which may allow all of the bits to be decoded utilizing soft information from the first decoding pass to affect the input to the decoder during the second pass for coupled bits such as those transmitted in a common symbol.

The plurality of RAKE fingers despread symbols received over multiple paths of a multi-path channel. The processor determines cross-correlations between symbol waveforms from different symbols and multiple paths. The combiner combines the despread symbols using the cross-correlations to reduce interference from the symbol of interest.

    摘要: A method for estimating a plurality of delay values in a multi-path communication signal. Correlation values are generated that correspond to a plurality of delay values associated with the multi-path communication signal. A first power-delay profile (PDP) sequence is produced from the correlation values and is used to estimate a first delay value. A first reference PDP sequence is generated based on a predefined PDP sequence and the first PDP sequence. The first reference PDP sequence is removed from the first PDP sequence so as to remove at least a portion of the contributions to the first PDP sequence from the first delay value, and to provide a second PDP sequence. A second value is estimated based on the second PDP sequence.

    摘要: A delay spread is created in a digital radio signal to reduce the coherence bandwidth and facilitate frequency hopping to reduce the effect of fading losses within an enclosed propagation environment The delay spread is introduced into the signal in several ways. One technique disclosed employs a transmitter with two separate antennas one of which transmits the digital signal and the other of which transmits the same signal after a phase delay has been introduced into the signal. The carrier frequency of the signals is hopped between at least two frequencies and the receiver processes the resulting signals. In another embodiment, a single transmit antenna is used but the signal is received by two different antennas with the output signal from one of those antennas being phase delayed before combining it with the other prior to processing by the receiver circuitry. Phase delay is also introduced at baseband into the signals to be transmitted by rotating the I and Q components of the waveforms before modulation.

    摘要: A communications signal representing symbols encoded according to respective portions of a spreading sequence is decoded. Time-offset correlations of the communications signal with the spreading sequence are generated. The time-offset correlations are combined to generate first estimates for the symbols. Intersymbol interference factors that include a relationship among different portions of the spreading sequence are determined, and a second estimate for one of the symbols is generated from the first estimates based on the determined intersymbol interference factors. An intersymbol interference factor may include a relationship between a first portion of the spreading sequence associated with the one symbol to a second portion of the spreading sequence associated with another symbol and may be determined, for example, from the spreading sequence and a channel estimate for a channel over which the communications signal is communicated. The invention may be embodied as methods and apparatus, for example, as a receiver included in a communications apparatus, such as a wireless terminal, wireless base station, or other wireless, wireline or optical communications apparatus.

    摘要: Information encoded in a spread spectrum signal transmitted in a communications medium is recovered. A composite signal including a spread spectrum signal is received from the communications medium, and correlated with a spreading sequence to generate time-offset correlations. Respective first and second groups of the correlations are combined, e.g., according to estimated channel coefficients, to produce respective first and second combined values. The first and second combined values are then combined in a manner that compensates for correlated impairment in the composite signal to generate an estimate information in the transmitted spread spectrum signal, e.g., using weighting factors generated from an estimated composite channel response and an estimated impairment correlation, or adaptively generated weighting factors. Related apparatus are also described.
