摘要:
This invention relates to signal processing in telecommunications, particularly but not exclusively for use in wireless TDMA systems. In particular, the invention concerns methods for use in communication systems making use of pilot symbols. The invention provides a method of placing pilot symbols in a data stream for telecommunication systems, wherein the pilot symbols are spaced in time using a range of different intervals between symbols. The intervals between the pilot symbols are substantially fractal in nature, the distribution of pilot symbols involving repetitions of irregular groupings of pilot symbols in the data stream. Preferably, the irregular groupings of pilot symbols are irregularly spaced in the data stream. The invention also provides a method and means for acquiring the time and frequency offset of a packet of data by using pilot symbols distributed within the packet as defined above.
摘要:
A method and apparatus estimate an offset between a carrier frequency of a transmitter and a local reference frequency of a receiver. A received signal is separated into frequency synchronization signals and data, and a determination is made whether the frequency synchronization signals are adequate for estimating the frequency offset. This determination may be made based on, e.g., an estimated Doppler spread, an estimated signal to noise ratio, and/or an available amount of frequency offset estimation time. The frequency offset is estimated based on the determination results. If the frequency synchronization signals are adequate for estimating the frequency offset, the frequency synchronization signals are used for determining the frequency offset. Otherwise, the rate of the frequency synchronization signals is increased, e.g., by using the data as frequency synchronization signals, in which case the data is combined with the frequency synchronization signals to determine the frequency offset.

摘要:
Techniques for detecting and demodulating a signal/transmission are described. Signal detection is performed in multiple stages using different types of signal processing, e.g., using time-domain correlation for a first stage, frequency-domain processing for a second stage, and time-domain processing for a third stage. For the first stage, products of symbols are generated for at least two different delays, correlation between the products for each delay and known values is performed, and correlation results for all delays are combined and used to declare the presence of a signal. For demodulation, the timing of input samples is adjusted to obtain timing-adjusted samples. A frequency offset is estimated and removed from the timing-adjusted samples to obtain frequency-corrected samples, which are processed with a channel estimate to obtain detected symbols. The phases of the detected symbols are corrected to obtain phase-corrected symbols, which are demodulated, deinterleaved, and decoded.

摘要:
For communicating between a transmitter unit (1) and a receiver unit (2) over a communication channel using a predetermined modulation scheme, an amount of pilot symbols is selected depending on an indication of demodulator type available in the receiver unit to operate according to the predetermined modulation scheme. A set of digital symbols is modulated according to the predetermined modulation scheme to generate a modulated signal in the transmitter unit, the digital symbol set including information symbols and the selected amount of pilot symbols.
摘要:
The demodulator is basically constituted by mixers (2) and (3), low pass filters (LPFs) (4) and (5), A/D converters (6) and (7), a clock recovery circuit (8), a phase error detecting circuit (9), a digital-to-analog (D/A) converter (10), a loop filter (11), a voltage adder (12), a sweep controller (13′), a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) (14), a 90° phase shifter (15), and an error correction/synchronization decision circuit (16). Connected between the sweep controller (13′) and the D/A converter (10) are a high pass filter (HPF) (101), a detector (102), and a comparator (103). The error correction/synchronization decision circuit (16) determines whether synchronization has been established, whereupon the sweep controller (13′) stops generating a sweep signal and holds its output at a predetermined level. In the event of false synchronization, a beat component is superposed on the output (error voltage) of the D/A converter (10). The detector (102) detects the input beat component signal. Receiving an output of the detector (102), the comparator (103) compares the output of the detector (102) with a predetermined reference voltage. When the output of the detector (102) is higher than the reference voltage, the comparator (103) feeds the previously mentioned control signal to the sweep controller (13′) . As a result, the sweep controller (13′) resumes the generation of a sweep signal, i.e., the false synchronization is cancelled.
