摘要： Information encoded in a transmitted spread spectrum signal included in a composite signal is recovered. The composite signal is received from the communications medium, and correlated with a desired spreading sequence to produce a plurality of time-offset correlations. Weighting factors are generated based on knowledge of spread spectrum signals in the composite signal. The correlations are combined according to the weighting factors to estimate information encoded in the transmitted spread spectrum signal. According to one aspect, a composite channel response is estimated from knowledge of the desired spreading sequence and an impairment correlation is determined from an estimate of power of an interfering spread spectrum signal and an estimate of power of noise in the composite signal. The composite channel response and impairment correlation are used to generate the weighting factors. According to another aspect, weighting factors are iteratively generated from an estimated channel response, an estimated impairment correlation, and previously determined weighting factors. Related apparatus are also described.

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： In a code division multiple access (CDMA) communications system, a synchronization code is transmitted on a first channel. Information is selectively communicated on a second channel, e.g., a dedicated physical channel, to limit interference attributable to the synchronization code in a signal received over the second channel. In one embodiment, a slot configuration used on the second channel reduces the likelihood of time-coincidence of the synchronization code with information transmitted on the second channel having a higher level of sensitivity to interference, such as transmit power control (TPC) commands or pilot symbols. According to another aspect, interference associated with a synchronization code is canceled from signal received on the second channel to recover information originally transmitted on the second channel. In one embodiment, an estimate of a component of the received signal associated with the synchronization code is generated from the synchronization code and a channel estimate. The estimate of the interference component is canceled from the received signal to generate an interference-canceled version of the received signal, which is then processed to recover information originally transmitted on the second channel.

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.

摘要： A received communications signal is correlated with a common synchronization code to produce a synchronization detection signal. A component of the synchronization detection signal associated with a known synchronization signal is canceled from the synchronization detection signal to produce an interference-canceled synchronization detection signal. Timing of a synchronization signal is determined from the interference-canceled synchronization detection signal. According to one aspect, interference cancellation is achieved by generating a correlation of an estimated received known synchronization signal with the common synchronization code, canceling the correlation of the estimated received known synchronization signal with the common synchronization code from the synchronization detection signal to produce the interference-canceled synchronization detection signal. Timing of a synchronization signal may then be determined by accumulating the interference-canceled synchronization detection signal over a time interval, detecting a peak in the accumulated interference-canceled synchronization detection signal, and determining timing of a synchronization signal from the detected peak. According to another aspect, interference cancellation is achieved by accumulating the synchronization detection signal over a time interval, identifying a peak in the accumulated synchronization detection signal not associated with a known synchronization signal, and determining timing of a synchronization signal from the identified peak. Related terminal apparatus are also discussed.

摘要： The method an apparatus described herein manages uplink resources to increase spectral efficiency and system capacity. According to one embodiment of the present invention, a base station may be assigned two or more downlink carriers for downlink transmission and two or more corresponding uplink carriers. In a multi-carrier mode, the base station may transmit signals on two or more downlink carriers to the same mobile terminal, and receive signals from the mobile terminal on one of the paired uplink terminals. The uplink carriers can be operated at different interference levels and the uplink traffic can be divided between the available uplink carriers based on the type of traffic and/or data transmission parameters. The mobile terminals may also be allowed to switch between the uplink carriers to improve overall efficiency.

摘要： In a receive node of a wireless network, an iterative multi-user multi-stage interference cancellation receiver is used. After each stage of interference cancellation, interference characteristics change. An adaptive strategy is used in which after each stage of interference cancellation, impairment covariance is parametrically updated and combining weights of the receiver are adapted to reflect the updated impairment covariance.

摘要： The quality of a received signal in a non-linear receiver is estimated using a coupling matrix G or Q that describes the interaction of symbols in the received signal with other symbols and/or how the impairment (noise and interference) interacts in the received signal. The coupling matrix is also useful for joint detection. The signal quality estimate may include, e.g., the minimum eigenvalue, and other functions, such as the determinant and trace of the coupling matrix. When G or Q varies with each block, as in CDMA systems employing longcode scrambling, a representative matrix can be used, such as a matrix of RMS values or average magnitudes of real and imaginary components. The signal quality estimate can be expressed as a bit error rate (BER).
