摘要:
Interference cancellation is performed in a CDMA receiver by projecting a received signal onto a subspace that is orthogonal to a signal selected for removal. An interference matrix or a combined interference vector is used to construct an interference-canceling projection operator. Confidence weights may be provided to components of the interference matrix or the interference vector based on estimation errors or relative strengths of interfering signals. Complexity reduction of the orthogonal projection operator may be achieved by providing for simplifying approximations that remove terms and operations. A linear transformation operator may be applied to the rows and/or columns of the interference matrix or the interference vector prior to construction of the orthogonal projection. Interference cancellation techniques may be configured for processing signals in a transmit-diversity system or a receive-diversity system using time and/or frequency-domain implementations and space and/or wave-number implementations of the transceiver.

A receiver employs low-rate processing to synthesize the effect of high-rate interference in a received multi-rate signal. Each high-rate subchannel is analyzed on its low-rate descendents to produce symbol estimates for each low-rate symbol interval. The symbol estimates are applied to low-rate descendent subchannels, which are then combined to synthesize the effects of the high-rate interference. An interference canceller processes the synthesized interference with the received signal for producing an interference-cancelled signal. Alternatively, analogous steps may be applied at high-rate to analyze, synthesize, and cancel the effects of low-rate interference in a multi-rate signal.

摘要:
The receiver includes a Rake receiver for separating a received signal into multipath components, an interference selector for selecting interference symbols corresponding to interfering paths and subchannels, a synthesizer for synthesizing an interference signal from selected paths and estimated subchannel symbols, and a canceller for constructing a projection operator or a scale-invariant subtraction operator to cancel selected interference in multipath components of the received signal, or from the received signal itself. The interference canceller may use a sequence of symbol estimates to simultaneously cancel inter-channel interference and inter-symbol interference. Interference cancellers may be placed at one or more locations within the receiver chain.
摘要:
A multi-mode receiver includes a channel decomposition module (e.g., a Rake receiver) for separating a received signal into multipath components, an interference selector for selecting interfering paths and subchannels, a synthesizer for synthesizing interference signals from selected subchannel symbol estimates, and an interference canceller for cancelling selected interference in the received signal. At least one of the channel decomposition module, the synthesizer, and the interference canceller are configurable for processing multi-mode signals.
摘要:
A receiver produces optimal weights for cancelling multipath interference. An SINR measurement module generates SINR measurements corresponding to soft symbol estimates produced by a baseband receiver from a received multipath signal. Each soft symbol estimate is replaced with either a hard estimate or a weighted soft estimate based on how each corresponding SINR measurement compares to a predetermined threshold. The received multipath signal and estimated interference signals generated from the hard symbol estimates and/or the weighted soft symbol estimates are combined to produce interference cancelled signals that may be combined via maximum ratio combining to produce an interference-cancelled MRC signal.
摘要:
This invention teaches to the details of an interference suppressing receiver for suppressing intra-cell and inter-cell interference in coded, multiple-access, spread spectrum transmissions that propagate through frequency selective communication channels to a multiplicity of receive antennas. The receiver is designed or adapted through the repeated use of symbol-estimate weighting, subtractive suppression with a stabilizing step-size, and mixed-decision symbol estimates. Receiver embodiments may be designed, adapted, and implemented explicitly in software or programmed hardware, or implicitly in standard RAKE-based hardware either within the RAKE (i.e., at the finger level) or outside the RAKE (i.e., at the user or subchannel symbol level). Embodiments may be employed in user equipment on the forward link or in a base station on the reverse link. It may be adapted to general signal processing applications where a signal is to be extracted from interference.

The receiver employs iterative symbol-estimate weighting, subtractive cancellation with a stabilizing step-size, and mixed-decision symbol estimate. Receiver embodiments may be implemented explicitly in software of programmed hardware, or implicitly in standard Rake-based hardware either within the Rake (i.e., at the finger level) or outside the Rake (i.e., at the user of subchannel symbol level).
