Abstract:
A method for performing transport format combination indicator (TFCI) processing in a wireless communications system begins by collecting received samples for a timeslot. Processing of the received samples for the timeslot that does not require a transport format combination (TFC) code list or a TFC code list valid indicator is performed. Next, a TFCI value for the timeslot is received and is processed at the timeslot rate, producing the TFC code list and the TFC code list valid indicator. Then processing in the timeslot that requires the TFC code list or the TFC code list valid indicator is performed.
Abstract:
A low cost method and system for efficiently implementing channel estimation in a wireless communication system using any desired length of a fast Fourier transform (FFT) independent of burst type or signal structure. The hardware complexity required to perform the channel estimation to process a plurality of different burst types is reduced. Simple tail zero-padding is used when the length of FFT is extended to a desired length for more efficient computation.
Abstract:
An automatic gain control (AGC) method according to the present invention applies an initial gain by a digital AGC circuit in a timeslot is determined using a final calculated gain from the same timeslot in the previous frame together with an offset factor. An erase function is activated for a given data sample block when the number of saturated data samples that are detected within the block exceeds a threshold value. The power measurement made by the AGC circuit and used to update the gain is adjusted based on the number of measured data samples that are saturated. These elements provide a gain limiting function and allows limiting of the dynamic range for further signal processing
Abstract:
The present invention is a receiver which includes a blind code detection device for determining the identity of a plurality of channels over which information is to be transmitted when the identity of all channels is not known by the receiver. The blind code detection device generates a candidate channel list filled with the identify of selected channels out of the plurality of channels. A multi-user detection device, responsive to the blind code detection device, processes those channels in the candidate code list.
Abstract:
A system and a method of controlling transmitter power in a wireless communication system in which user data is processed as a multirate signal having a rate N(t) and in which the user data signal having rate N(t) is converted into a transmission data signal having a faster rate M(t) for transmission. The transmission power is adjusted on a relatively slow basis based on quality of data received by a receiver of the transmitted data. The transmitter power is determined as a function of N(t)/M(t) such that a change in the data rate in the multiple channels or the rate of the transmission data signal is compensated in advance of a quality of data based adjustment associated with such data rate change. Preferably, the user data signal having rate N(t) is converted into the transmission data signal having the faster rate M(t) by repeating selected data bits whereby the energy per bit to noise spectrum density ratio is increased in the transmission data signal.
Abstract:
A method and system for performing initial cell search is disclosed. Step 1 processing is preformed to detect a peak primary synchronization code (PSC) location (i.e. chip offset or chip location). Step 2 processing is performed to obtain the toffset and code group. Step 3 processing is performed to identify the midamble of a base station with which the WTRU performing the initial cell search may synchronize with.

Abstract:
A system and method reduces the time required by a base station to acquire a fixed subscriber unit in a CDMA communication system by virtually locating of the subscriber units. A base station acquires subscriber units by searching only those code phases concomitant with the largest propagation delay possible in the cell, as if all subscriber units were located at the periphery of the cell. A subscriber unit which has never been acquired by the base station varies the delay between the PN code phase of its received and transmitted signals over the range of possible delays in a cell and slowly ramps-up its transmission power until it is acquired by the base station. Upon initial acquisition by the base station, the subscriber unit ceases ramping-up its transmission power, ceases varying the delay and internally stores the final value of the delay in memory.
Abstract:
Multi-user detection (MUD) performance is optimized to eliminate redundant use of power during processing. An overbuilt A-matrix, i.e., a system response matrix, is provided. The overbuilt A-matrix uses all possible codes, e.g., all codes identified in a candidate code list (CCL) provided by blind code detection (BCD). The overbuilt A-matrix is passed to the MUD which extracts only those rows or columns required for codes that have actually been received, thus eliminating the need to recompute whitening matched filter (WMF) outputs that do not correspond to the actually received code.
