Adders each add up an addition value sent from a metric calculator and a state metric read from a memory. A maximum value selector generates a first likelihood when a data bit is 1, based on the addition values added up by the adders. A maximum value selector generates a second likelihood when a data bit is 0, based on the addition values added up by the adders. A subtracter subtracts the second likelihood from the first likelihood to generate a likelihood ratio, and a subtracter subtracts data from the likelihood ratio and generates extrinsic information. A re-normalizer multiplies the extrinsic information by a predetermined value to re-normalize it and temporarily stores it in a memory. The extrinsic information stored in the memory is used as the prior probability information for the next iterative decoding.

A technique is proposed for normalizing the multi-bit output of a RAKE receiver by automatically selecting from it fewer bits which are representative of the data in the CDMA signal. The invention is applicable to a CDMA signal in which the data is transmitted discontinuously and a pilot symbol is inserted into the data sequence and transmitted at a different power level. The proposed technique may be operated either on the basis that the power ratio of the pilot part of the CDMA signal to the data part is known, or alternatively without any knowledge of this power ratio. In both cases the pilot part is used to determine the bit position on which the normalization works, and also the fine adjustment of the data part of the CDMA signal.

There is provided an apparatus and method for performing unique word detection and frequency offset estimation for a receiver for DPSK signals comprising in-phase I and quadrature Q components for a plurality of symbols k. The apparatus comprises: a differential detector for performing differential detection of a received signal over a given symbol span; a frequency corrector for performing an initial correction of I and Q using a previously estimated value of the frequency offset; accumulators for averaging I and Q for each symbol k over a given number K of symbols, where K is the number of symbols in the unique word to be detected; a frequency offset estimation block for calculating an estimate of the frequency offset from averaged I and averaged Q; and a unique word detection block for determining, from differentially detected I, differentially detected Q, averaged I and averaged Q, whether or not the unique word is present in a received signal.

A system and method for estimating phase offset between a local oscillator and a transmitted input signal in a communication system comprises a differential detector and a phase compensation stage for compensating for phase errors in an output signal from the differential detector. The output signal from the differential detector is rotated in a decision-based rotation stage coupled to the outputs of the differential detector and the phase compensation stage. The rotation is based on a decision made using the output signal from the phase compensation stage. An accumulation stage accumulates the output signal from the decision-based rotation stage for a number of symbols in the transmitted input signal. A normalization stage normalizes the output signal from the accumulation stage and the normalized output signal corresponds to a phase offset of the local oscillator relative to the transmitted input signal. The phase compensation stage has a further input to which the phase offset is applied to compensate the phase of a subsequently received symbol in the transmitted input signal. The phase offset between the local oscillator and the transmitted input signal is then estimated.
