摘要:
A time division multiple access cellular radio telecommunications network is disclosed, in which physical channels may be reused in the same cell. Reused channels on the up link are differentiated by a time shift between them. Same cell reuse (SCR) can thus be implemented in a TDMA (GSM) system without assigning different signatures to SDMA users sharing the same physical channel.
摘要:
In a radio telecommunications system such as GSM or EDGE, at each timeslot 10 a small number of information symbols in narrow bands (24, 26) of the data payloads (20,22) adjacent each tail (16, 18) of the timeslot are used as training-like symbols; for each burst, the end of the timeslot more affected by asynchronous CCI is sensed, and the training-like symbols at that end are processed, together with conventional midamble (14) training symbols and tails symbols (16,18), by a CCI rejection algorithm.
摘要:
A method for determining the speed of a mobile user, comprising deriving first signals related to the phase variations of a number of taps of an equivalent channel input response at the input of a channel equalizer in a base station receiver which receives the signal,
deriving second signals related to the carrier frequency offset of the signal received in the base station receiver; subtracting the second signals from the first signals; and deriving from the difference a quantity related to the Doppler frequency shift of the received signals, and therefore to the speed of the mobile.
摘要:
Apparatus and method for iteratively decoding a signal are provided. The apparatus includes a central pool of resources for iteratively decoding signals. The central pool may run a plurality of iterative decoding processes, each process being allocated to a signal processing unit upon request and depending upon resource availability.
摘要:
A mobile telephone system includes a base station which establishes a link with a selected mobile station. The received signal from the mobile station will include a noise component as well as a possible interference component from another mobile station operating at the same frequency in another cell. The base station has a trellis based equalisation system which operates on the assumption that the received signal includes components which have a predominantly Gaussian characteristic. A switch controller determines when the interference component (which is non-gaussian) in the received signal becomes a dominant component and operates to switch a spatio-temporal filter into the circuit instead of the trellis based equalisation system, to improve the bit error rate performance.
摘要:
A method of estimating channel impulse response in a signal transmitted over a channel in a communication system is described. The channel estimator obtains a priori knowledge about the transmitted signal and then use the transmitted signal and the a priori knowledge to choose an estimate of channel impulse response which minimises the expected distance between the transmitted signal and a reconstructed signal. The expected distance that is minimised is a cost function, represented by E{∥ r - B h∥ 2 | r }. By using soft decision feedback, the invention minimises erroneous decision feedback which can cause error propagation. The decision are usually in the form of log likelihood ratios (LLR).
