摘要:
The invention is directed to positioning with low geometrical dilution of position (GDOP). Generally, the invention is a method for positioning including the steps of transmitting a asynchronous signal from a mobile to at least one base station; receiving the asynchronous signal at each base station; for each base station, determining a spherical line of position for the mobile using the received non-synchronous signal; and positioning the mobile using the spherical lines of position. The invention is a position location system which has the merits of both spherical and hyperbolic positioning systems while avoiding their drawbacks. The invention is less sensitive to GDOP and the mathematical model is easier to handle than the known hyperbolic system. The mathematical model embodied in the invention is equivalent to a convex quadratic probing subject to an ice-cream cone constraint. The invention also embodies an efficient algorithm for this optimization model. The invention is primarily directed to position location for E911, it can also applied to any other fields where position location is used, such as, but not limited to, radar positioning, satellite positioning and navigation systems.

A method for estimating a time delay including the steps of first, estimating a channel spectrum from a received signal and a known reference signal, second, extracting a virtual array structure from the estimated channel spectrum, and third, determining the signal time delay using the virtual array structure. Further, a system for estimating a time delay including a channel spectrum estimator, means for extracting a virtual array structure and means for determining the time delay is provided. The channel spectrum estimator is used for estimating a channel spectrum from a received signal and a known reference signal. The means for extracting a virtual array structure uses the estimated channel spectrum. The means for determining the time delay uses the virtual array structure.

A method for timing phase recovery including the steps of first, estimating an open-eye sequence of a received signal, second, estimating a channel response using the open-eye sequence, and third, correlating the estimated channel response with an ideal channel response to determine the peak correlation location. The peak correlation location corresponds to the recovered timing phase. A system including means for estimating an open-eye sequence of a received signal, a channel estimator and a correlator is also provided. The channel estimator is used for estimating a channel response using the open-eye sequence and the received signal. The correlator is used for correlating the estimated channel response with an ideal channel response to determine the peak correlation location, the peak correlation location corresponding to the recovered timing phase.

The invention is directed to a method and system for acquisition of a time stamped signal burst while preserving timing information. A system for acquisition of a time stamped signal burst while preserving timing information. The system includes a first framer, an offset frequency compensator and a second framer. The first framer is for framing a buffered signal burst using least mean squares tuning to produce a first time stamp. The offset frequency compensator is for substantially removing a frequency offset from the first time stamp to produce a rough signal burst. The second framer is for framing the rough signal burst using least mean squares tuning to produce a fine signal burst arid a second time stamp, the second time stamp being more reliable than the first time stamp. A method system or acquisition of a time stamped signal burst while preserving timing information including the steps of framing using LMS and compensating for frequency offset. An advantage of the invention is increased reliability of the time stamp of the acquired signal burst.

A wireless receiver receives reference signals over a wireless link. The wireless receiver calculates a selection indication based on the received reference signals, and the wireless receiver selects from among plural channel estimation techniques based on the selection indication, where the selected channel estimation technique is usable to perform channel estimation of the wireless link.
摘要:
A method and system for connection management in a wireless data network, such as a 1xEV-DO network adds connections to new network sectors upon receipt of a connection request from an active terminal, but removes data connections that the active terminal requests to be dropped only after confirmation from the active terminal that a channel allocation message has been received and applied. The active network maintains an active set of connections that is at least as large as the active set maintained by the active terminal and does not initiate a connection termination if no confirmation of the channel allocation message is received. This allows for a reduction in the number of dropped connections.

A wireless terminal adapted to function in a code division multiple access (CDMA) communications system is provided. The terminal includes a receiver adapted to receive frames having a slot structure in which there is a user identification channel and a shared channel, the shared channel having been transmitted using a plurality of Walsh codes, and containing content for either a plurality of voice users, a plurality of voice users and one high-rate data user, or only one high-rate data user. A slot of the shared channel contains content for a plurality of users which was transmitted in parallel using different Walsh code spaces for different users. The wireless terminal is adapted to decode the user identification channel to determine when a slot of the shared channel contains voice and/or high-rate data content for the wireless terminal.

Another forward link design employing CDMA (code division multiple access) technologies is provided in which code division multiplexing between data and control information is employed on the forward link to service multiple users per slot, which is preferably backwards compatible with legacy standards such as IS2000A. A reverse link design is also provided.
