摘要:
A rake receiver for use in direct-sequence code-division multiple-access communication systems employs a novel channel estimator capable of resolving multipath components spaced closer than a chip interval of the direct-sequence signature sequence. The estimator utilizes a constrained iterative deconvolution technique which employs projection onto convex sets (POCS). In a matched filter rake receiver embodiment, the delay T.sub.SC between two taps of a delay line is smaller than the duration T.sub.C of a chip of pseudo-random sequence. A rake receiver constructed in this manner is capable of detecting signals that have propagated through multipath channels and that have path components spaced closer than one chip of the signal sequence (i.e. closer than the inverse of the signal bandwidth).

A method and apparatus for arranging various types of data, and at various rates, into a uniquely structured format for transmission. Data for transmission formatting may be vocoder data or different types of non-vocoder data. The data organized into frames of a predetermined time duration for transmission. The data frames are organized, depending on the data, to be at one of several data rates. Vocoder data is provided at one of several data rates and is organized in the frame according to a predetermined format. Frames may be formatted with a sharing of vocoder data with non-vocoder data to be at a highest frame data rate. Different types of non-vocoder data may be organized so as to also be at the highest frame data rate. Additional control data may be provided within the data frames to support various aspects of the transmission and recovery upon reception.

A system and method for communicating information signals using spread spectrum communication techniques. PN sequences are constructed that provide orthogonality between the users so that mutual interference will be reduced, allowing higher capacity and better link performance. With orthogonal PN codes, the cross-correlation is zero over a predetermined time interval, resulting in no interference between the orthogonal codes, provided only that the code time frames are time aligned with each other. In an exemplary embodiment, signals are communicated between a cell-site and mobile units using direct sequence spread spectrum communication signals. In the cell-to-mobile link, pilot, sync, paging and voice channels are defined. Information communicated on the cell-to-mobile link channels are, in general, encoded, interleaved, bi-phase shift key (BPSK) modulated with orthogonal covering of each BPSK symbol along with quadrature phase shift key (QPSK) spreading of the covered symbols. In the mobile-to-cell link, access and voice channels are defined. Information communicated on the mobile-to-cell link channels are, in general, encoded, interleaved, orthogonal signalling along with QPSK spreading.

A method and apparatus for reducing the processing rate when performing chip-level equalization (CLE) in a code division multiple access (CDMA) receiver which includes an equalizer filter. Signals received by at least one antenna of the receiver are sampled at M times the chip rate. Each sample stream is split into M sample data streams at the chip rate. Multipath combining is preferably performed on each split sample data stream. The sample data streams are then combined into one combined sample data stream at the chip rate. The equalizer filter performs equalization on the combined sample stream at the chip rate. Filter coefficients are adjusted by adding a correction term to the filter coefficients utilized by the equalizer filter for a previous iteration.

Positioning of a mobile signal transmitter. A respective distance between the transmitter and each of a plurality of sensors is determined based on a direct sequence spread spectrum signal. A transmission delay of the signal is estimated with high accuracy by, in each sensor, cross-correlating an over-sampled representation of the signal with an appropriate local spreading sequence, which contains poly-phased symbol values being different from a set of symbols in the direct sequence used to spread the transmitted signal. The local spreading sequence has a nominal chip period, which is equivalent to the chip period of the over-sampled representation of the signal.

摘要:
An embodiment generally relates to a method of processing direct-sequence spread spectrum signals for temporal alignment between a received direct sequence spread spectrum (DSSS) signal and a local reference signal. The method includes receiving the received DSSS signal with bandwidth to resolve at least N samples per code chip and de-spreading the received DSSS signal to recover an elemental waveform within the received DSSS signal for an interval greater than one code chip interval as a first processing stage. The method also includes determining a discriminator value based on the elemental waveform as a second processing stage and operating a delay-locked loop based on the discriminator value to adjust an alignment between the received DSSS signal and the local reference signal.
