A method, a computer program product and a device for requesting access to a node (BS) of a wireless communications network (10) are described. In the network (10) identification codes are used to differentiate access requests of different network components (UE). The method comprises the step of determining information about a transmission path (12) to e.g. the network node (BS), the step of determining an identification code in dependence on the determined transmission path information, wherein previously an association between identification codes and transmission path information has been established, and the step of modulating the selected identification code onto a signal to generate an access request signal carrying transmission path information.

This invention relates to improved rate matching methods and apparati for matching the size of an input data block to a target block size, as well as to improved decoding methods and apparati for decoding a received data block originating from a transmitter adapted to execute one of said improved rate matching methods. According to the improved rate matching methods, so-called 'fill bits', i.e. bits with predetermined values, are inserted prior to the generation of redundant information in a channel encoding step, while only a residual adjustment in block size may or may not be necessary after channel encoding. According to the improved decoding methods, decoded bits corresponding to said fill bits are removed after channel decoding while only a residual (de)adjustment in block size may or may not be necessary before channel decoding.

The present invention provides a search window delay tracking procedure for use in a multipath search processor of a CDMA radio receiver. A channel impulse response is estimated for a received signal containing plural paths, each path having a corresponding path delay. A search window defines a delay profile that contains the plural paths of the received signal. A mean or average delay is calculated for the estimated channel impulse response (CIR), and an error is determined between the mean CIR delay and a desired delay position corresponding to the center of the CIR search window. An adjustment is made to reduce that error so that the center of the search window and the mean CIR delay are aligned. The error may be processed either linearly (in one embodiment) or non-linearly (in another embodiment) to minimize the error and to reduce an influence of noise. A non-linear filtering process includes calculating a delay spread from the mean CIR delay calculated for successive processing cycles of a window delay tracking procedure corresponding to each new input. A difference is determined between the successive delay spreads. Adjustment signal is set equal to the error signal if the difference is less than or equal to a threshold. Alternatively, the adjustment signal is set to zero if the difference is greater than the threshold. Consequently, if the delay spread in the current iteration is significantly different from the delay spread in the previous iteration, the new error sample calculated in the current iteration is considered unreliable, and no adjustment is made.

The invention relates to a method, a computer program product and a device for evaluating a code which is orthogonal to one or more further codes. The method comprises the steps of receiving a signal which carries a code containing a sequence of code symbols, determining for a particular symbol instant at least one channel estimate, determining for the particular symbol instant a compensation value taking into account the at least one channel estimate, compensating each code symbol using the compensation value determined for the corresponding symbol instant, wherein the compensation is performed such that an original power relationship among the individual code symbols contained in the code is restored, and evaluating the code on the basis of the sequence of compensated code symbols exploiting the orthogonality to further codes.

The present application relates to a device and method for processing a digital value to thereby determine an estimate of the square of said digital value. This is done by linearly approximating the square function with the help of anchor points that are powers of 2, such that the estimate of the square of a digital value xa is determined on the basis of a first processing value 2i, where 2i ≤x¿a? ∫2?i+1¿, and a second processing value (3x¿a? - 2?i+1¿). The present invention is advantageous in that it allows simple processing steps and a simple processing hardware. It is preferably applied to the mean signal power estimation of a digital signal being sent to a transmitter.

Use of a more accurate, constant or quasi-constant reference signal-to-noise ratio value to support the process of decoding information sequences that have been encoded using turbo coding techniques, particularly in UMTS WCDMA receivers, enhances the accuracy of the decoding process and, in turn, link quality and overall system performance. This may be accomplished by exploiting the reference SNR, which is generated, for example, by the power control loop in the receiver. More specifically, the present invention modifies this reference SNR value based on various factors including, but not limited to, the scaling factor that is applied to the decoder input metrics, power settings, processing gains, coding rates and/or the modulation scheme.
