    摘要: Channel and correlation characteristics are determined for a composite signal. Respective combining weights for information from the composite signal are determined for respective ones of a plurality of candidate delays based on the determined channel and correlation characteristics. A group of delays, e.g., RAKE correlator delays or chip equalizer filter taps, is selected from the plurality of candidate delays based on the determined weights. Information from the composite signal for the selected delays is processed according to a spreading code to generate a symbol estimate. The invention may be embodied as methods, apparatus and computer program products.

    摘要: A CDMA mobile communication demodulator circuit has a path timing comparison part 4 operable to compare a difference between path timings of adjacent paths with a predetermined threshold value, a path level comparison part 5 operable to compare power correlation values of the path timings of the paths determined to be controlled with a maximum power correlation value between those path timings, and a path timing determination part 3 operable to control the finger assignment timings based on the comparison results. By adaptively controlling finger assignment timings in accordance with a power correlation peak value obtained by a delay profile calculation, good receiving characteristics can be maintained, and electric power consumption can be reduced.

    摘要: An object of the present invention is to provide a rake receiver and a receiving method for efficiently assigning paths to fingers in a CDMA mobile communication system. In the present invention, a correlation-value calculation section 2 calculates correlation values between spreading codes and reception signals input from an input terminal 1, at all timings at which rake reception is possible, and outputs the calculated correlation values to a delayed-profile creation section 3 and a difference-history creation section 6. The delayed-profile creation section 3 determines average correlation values and issues the values as a delayed profile to a path selection section 4. For each reception timing, the difference-history creation section 6 compares the latest correlation value issued from the correlation-value calculation section 2 with a previous correlation value held by the difference-history creation section 6, to determine a difference history, and issues the difference history to the path selection section 4. The path selection section 4 rearranges the delayed profile in decreasing order the average correlation values. When the delayed profile and the difference history satisfy all predetermined conditions, the path selection section 4 assigns the corresponding reception timing to a finger and issues the reception timing to the finger section 5.

    摘要: A path protection method for a CDMA reception apparatus is disclosed, which obtains correlation value levels while shifting the despreading timing of reception data little by little, searches for optimal reception timings, outputs a plurality of finger path timings, with respect to the reception data, as reception timings at which reception should be performed, and despreads the respective paths, thereby performing RAKE combining. If all protection paths are in the forward protection state upon execution of path backward protection and forward protection, a protection path with the lowest level is deleted, and a search path having the highest level among paths which are equal to or more than a threshold and detected by a searcher is registered in the deleted portion, thereby allowing assignment of a newly detected path even in the absence of a protection path space.

    摘要: A rake architecture for a frequency division duplex (FDD) and use also in TDD and TD-SCDMA type communications system, designed to significantly reduce the memory capacity required and thereby also reduce an area on the die of an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) into which the memory is integrated. A single circular buffer (60) , preferably of the shared memory type is shared by all of the rake fingers (RAKE FINGERS 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6) of a rake receiver to significantly reduce the hardware and software required to time align multipath signals (DATA IN) received by a UE from a base station. The unique time alignment technique also reduces the number of code generators (62, 64 and 66) required to track a plurality (typically three) of base stations.

    摘要: By calculating the complex product between each of the complex conjugate pattern for the pilot patterns assigned individually to a plurality of transmitting antennas of a base station and de-spread signals (ISI, ISQ), which have been obtained from a received signal by de-spreading portion (22), a separating section (23) separates the pilot block of the de-spread signals, for each of the plurality of transmitting antennas, from the received signal. Subsequently, after a delay profile for the transmitted signal from each of the plurality of transmitting antennas is generated by using the separated signals (PLI1, PLQ1), (PLI2, PLQ2), a delay profile combining portion (27) combines into a delay-profile for multi-path selection, and multi-path selection is performed based on the delay profile for multi-path selection. Therefore, highly accurate path search is possible in a DS-CDMA system that employs a transmitter diversity scheme.

    摘要: A base station receiver assembly (400) for performing a signal search, which operates in a coherent code division multiple access (CDMA) wireless communication system conveying a mobile communication signal is disclosed. The assembly (400) includes a multipath signal searcher (200), a receiver (300), and an energy adjustment generator (490). The energy adjustment generator operates to combine an energy metric (241) from the multipath signal searcher (200) with a symbol match count (447) to yield a signal (448) for weighting inputs to a finger manager (260). The symbol match count (447) is based on a count, resulting from a comparison of a number of times an output from the multipath signal searcher (200) matched an output from the receiver (300). The symbol match count (447) is representative of a likelihood that a time offset selected by the finger manager (260) corresponds to a time offset of the mobile communication signal (107).
