摘要:
A parallel packetized intermodule arbitrated high speed control data bus system which allows high speed communications between microprocessor modules in a more complex digital processing environment. The system features a simplified hardware architecture featuring fast FIFO queuing operating at 12.5 MHz, TTL CMOS compatible level clocking signals, single bus master arbitration, synchronous clocking, DMA, and unique module addressing for multiprocessor systems. The system includes a parallel data bus with sharing bus masters residing on each processing module decreeing the communication and data transfer protocols. Bus arbitration is performed over a dedicated serial arbitration line and each requesting module competes for access to the parallel data bus by placing the address of the requesting module on the arbitration line and monitoring the arbitration line for collisions.

Techniques to search for a gated pilot reference in a wireless communication system. In one method, an overall code space in which the pilot may be found is partitioned into a number of groups of code sets, with each code set representative of all possible chip offsets of a specific PN sequence. The groups are ordered based on the likelihood of detecting the pilot in each of the groups. The groups of code sets are then used to search for the pilot, one group at a time, starting with the group most likely to result in successful pilot acquisition and ending with the group least likely to result in successful pilot acquisition. The search is terminated upon successful acquisition. The pilot search may be performed using detect, dwell, and pull-in substages. The detect substage for one group may be performed in parallel with the pull-in substage for another group.

摘要:
A method and system enable matched filters of a CDMA system to be simplified using a two stage search. A course stage and a fine stage jointly produce the locations(s) of received signal path-rays. In a first stage, an oversampled digital signal (240) is decimated, and the decimated signal (415) is applied to a matched filter (420) to eventually produce an approximate location (460). In a second stage, the oversampled signal (240) is shifted based on the determined approximate location (460) and then correlated to a generated code (440), and a more-exact location is selected from the outputs of the correlations (450). Alternatively, a shifted version of the generated code (440) is correlated to the oversampled signal (240), and the more-exact location is selected from the outputs of those correlations (450).
摘要:
A multiple access, spread-spectrum communication system processes a plurality of information signals received by a Radio Carrier Station (RCS) over telecommunication lines for simultaneous transmission over a radio frequency (RF) channel as a code-division-multiplexed (CDM) signal to a group of Subscriber Units (SUs). The RCS receives a call request signal that corresponds to a telecommunication line information signal, and a user identification signal that identifies a user to receive the call. The RCS includes a plurality of Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) modems, one of which provides a global pilot code signal. The modems provide message code signals synchronized to the global pilot signal. Each SU includes a CDMA modem which is also synchronized to the global pilot signal. The CDMA modem despreads the CDM signal and provides a despread information signal to the user. The system includes a closed loop power control system for maintaining a minimum system transmit power level for the RCS and the SUs, and system capacity management for maintaining a maximum number of active SUs for improved system performance.
