A multipath propagation delay determining means (STU) for determining a power delay spectrum (DPS) of a signal on a plurality of propagation paths within a cell of a CDMA communication system, comprising A/D conversion means for converting a CDMA multipath signal received from at least one antenna (Ant1, Ant2) into a signal (S1, S2) consisting of consecutive radio frames including consecutive time slots with complex pilot symbols and data symbols, demultiplexing means for extracting complex pilot symbols and data symbols from at least two consecutive time slots of each radio frame and for storing them consecutively in memory means; and a searching means (S1...SL) for determining a power delay profile (DPS) on the basis of said extracted and stored complex pilot symbols and said data symbols.

For one embodiment, a Random Access Channel (RACH) preamble modulation method and apparatus are disclosed in which the real (I) and imaginary (Q) components of a complex RACH preamble (b(k)) are filtered in corresponding pulse shaping filters (206, 208). Consequently, the phase transitions in the resulting signal are limited at all chip positions, and the resulting quadriphase codes produce transmitted signals with lower Peak-to-Average Power Ratios (PAPRs) than those that result using conventional Hybrid Phase-Shift Keying (HPSK) modulation schemes. On the other side, the resulting quadriphase synchronization code retains the same aperiodic autocorrelation magnitude as the original binary code (a(k)), optimized to produce the minimum probability of incorrect synchronization.
摘要:
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.
