Abstract:
The present invention is a communication system, including a receiver and method for receiving one of a plurality of channels in a communication signal. An adaptive matched filter produces a filtered signal by using a weighting signal. A rake receiver produces a filter weighting signal using a pseudo-noise signal generator. A channel despreader despreads the filtered signal using the pseudo-noise signal generated to produce a despread channel signal of the selected channel. A pilot channel despreader despreads the filtered signal using a pseudo-noise signal generator to produce a despread pilot signal of the pilot channel. A hard decision processor receives the despread channel signal of the selected channel and produces a correction signal. A phase-locked loop utilizes at least the despread pilot signal and produces a phase correction signal which is applied to produce phase-corrected channel signals.
Abstract:
A CDMA base station includes an antenna system having multiple antennas and delay units for receiving a transmitted signal and outputting a combined signal having a known distortion imparted by the antenna system. The combined signal is in turn processed by a modem, which compensates for the known distortion in a manner which provides improved signal gain. The improved signal gain permits a reduction in transmit power and, accordingly, increased capacity of the base station. Where the antenna system is to be remotely located from related signal processing equipment, separate units for the RF receiver/transmitter and the other signal processing equipment are provided so that the RF receiver/transmitter may also be remotely located along with the antenna system.
Abstract:
A base station has a plurality of transmitting antennas. From each transmitting antenna, a reference signal having a code uniquely associated with that antenna is transmitted. A data signal is transmitted such that different spread spectrum versions of the data signal are transmitted from each antenna. Each version has a different code for the respective transmitting antenna.
Abstract:
A base station comprises a plurality of antennas. Each of the antennas is separated by a known distance. A first spread spectrum signal is transmitted having a first code. Using the plurality of antennas, a second spread spectrum signal is received having a second code. The second spread spectrum signal is time synchronized with the first spread spectrum signal. A distance determination is made based on in part a timing difference between the second code of the received second spread spectrum signal and the first code of the base station's transmitted first spread spectrum signal. A phase difference of a carrier signal of the second spread spectrum signal as received by each of the plurality of antennas is compared. An angle of the received second spread spectrum signal is determined using the known distance between the antennas and the phase difference. A location of a source of the second spread spectrum signal is determined using the determined angle and the distance determination.
Abstract:
A subscriber unit receives a plurality of first spread spectrum signals. Each first spread spectrum signal has a first code. An impulse response of multipath components of each received first spread spectrum signal are analyzed to determine a first received component of that received first spread spectrum signal. In one embodiment, for each received first spread spectrum signal, a second spread spectrum signal having a second chip code time synchronized to the first received component of that received first spread spectrum signal is transmitted. In another embodiment, a code timing difference is determined between the first received components of the received first spread spectrum signals. The code timing difference is transmitted.
Abstract:
The invention provides for transmission and reception of a data signal using a plurality of transmitting antennas. Each antenna transmits a different reference signal having a pseudo random chip code sequence. A receiver filters each transmitted reference signal using that reference signal's chip code. The filtered reference signals are weighted and combined. Each reference signal's weight is adaptively adjusted in part on a signal quality of the combined signal. A data signal is transmitted such that different spread spectrum versions of the data signal are transmitted from each transmitting antenna. Each version having a different chip code identifier. Upon reception, each version is filtered with its associated chip code. The filtered versions are weighted in accordance with the adjusted weights associated with the reference signal of the respective antenna.
Abstract:
An improved base station which cancels the effects of known fixed interference sources produces a signal substantially free from the interference sources thereby increasing total channel capacity. The adaptive interference canceler system includes a main antenna for receiving signals from other communication stations and at least one directional antenna directed toward an interference source. The main and directional antennas are coupled together such that an output signal substantially free from the interference is generated.

Abstract:
A code division multiple access communication system transmits a pilot and traffic signal over a shared spectrum. The pilot and traffic signal have an associated code. Signals are received over the shared spectrum. The received signals are sampled. The samples are delayed to produce a window. The window has evenly time spaced samples. Each window sample is despread with a pilot code. A weight for each despread pilot code window sample is determined using an adaptive algorithm. Each window sample is despread with a traffic code. Each despread traffic code window sample is weighted with a corresponding weight of the determined weights. The despread traffic code window sample are combined as data of the traffic signal.
