    Abstract: A special coding scheme is disclosed for more effectively acquiring a long code and frame timing during a cell search in a CDMA communications system. A code set of length M Q-ary code words including symbols from a set of Q short codes is defined with certain properties. The primary property to be satisfied is that no cyclic shift of a code word yields a valid code word. The other properties to be satisfied are that there is a one-to-one mapping between a long code message and a valid code word, and a decoder should be able to find both the random shift (thereby implicitly finding the frame timing) and the transmitted code word (i.e., its associated long code indication message) in the presence of interference and noise, with some degree of accuracy and reasonable complexity.

    Abstract: Access requests are communicated from a plurality of radiotelephones to a central station over a random access channel carrier frequency band during a first RACH message time window. Short message acknowledgements are communicated from the plurality of radiotelephones to the central station over the random access channel carrier frequency band during a second RACH message time window, in response to short messages communicated from the central station to the plurality of radiotelephones. Preferably, the first RACH message time window includes a first set of TDMA time slots in a group of TDMA control channel multiframes, and the second RACH message time window includes a second set of TDMA time slots in the group of TDMA control channel multiframes, thereby forming a RACH multiframe. Preferably, the first and second RACH message time windows are separated by a guard time. A radiotelephone communications signal representing a short message acknowledgement encoded according to a predetermined short message code, preferably previously communicated to a radiotelephone in a short message from the central station, may be transmitted from the radiotelephone. The radiotelephone communications signal is received at the central station and decoded according to the predetermined short message code to thereby recover a short message acknowledgement. The plurality of radiotelephones may be arranged into paging groups, each having a unique short message code assigned thereto, and a limited number of short message including the unique short message code may be communicated during a given RACH multiframe.

    Abstract: A symbol is transmitted in a communications medium according to a first spreading sequence of a set of spreading sequences, for example, CDMA channelization codes, which may be used to transmit symbols in the system. A communications signal is received from the communications medium, for example, at a mobile terminal. The received communications signal is resolved into a plurality of multipath signal components by, for example, descrambling the received signal according to a cell-specific scrambling code. The resolved plurality of signal components is correlated with the set of spreading sequences to generate a respective set of correlations for a respective one of the resolved signal components, a respective one of the sets of correlations including a respective correlation of a resolved signal component with the first spreading sequence. An interference component associated with a second spreading sequence of the set of spreading sequences, identified based on the correlations of the resolved signal components with the set of possible spreading sequences, is cancelled from the correlations of the plurality of resolved signal components with the first spreading sequence, thus generating a set of interference-cancelled correlations of the resolved signal components with the first spreading sequence. The transmitted symbol is estimated from the set of interference-cancelled correlations. Preferably, the set of spreading sequences is orthogonal. More preferably, the set of spreading sequences comprises a Hadamard code, and the correlations of the set of possible spreading sequences with the resolved signal components is generated using a fast Hadamard transform.

    Abstract: A system and method are provided for achieving slot synchronization in a Wideband CDMA system in the presence of large initial frequency errors. A FSC matched filter having a reduced coherence window is provided for reducing degradation of a symbol due to carrier phase rotation resulting from oscillator error, thereby preventing severe loss of signal energy at the peaks of the FSC matched filter output. Additionally, a circular sliding integrator is provided to combine the accumulated disbursed signal energies due to the oscillator error and multipath interference, thereby allowing easier identification of the time index representing the time slot boundary. Further, a sorter is provided for determining a predetermined number of time index candidates representing the time slot boundary, thereby increasing the possibility that the true time index boundary is sent to the second stage of synchronization.

    Abstract: A method for acquiring a spotbeam beacon frequency is disclosed. The method comprises a fast synchronization procedure wherein the beacon frequency of the spotbeam is first acquired using a carrier acquisition process. A coarse time acquisition procedure is then performed on the acquired beacon frequency followed by a performance of a fine time and frequency acquisition process. The entire process enables spotbeam beacon acquisition in a range of approximately 2.7-27 seconds.

    Abstract: Each transmission frame within a spread spectrum communications system relating to synchronization code transmission is divided into a plurality of slots. Each of the slots includes a primary (pilot) code c.sub.p and a secondary (combined) code c.sub.s/lci that includes information identifying or indicative of both a frame timing and a scrambling code for synchronization. This information concerning frame timing and scrambling code may be encoded in the combined code c.sub.s/lci itself, as well as in the modulation values of the sequences of plural combined codes within a frame. Alternatively, the information is encoded in the sequence of plural combined codes c.sub.s/lci transmitted in each frame, as well as in the modulated values of the sequences of plural combined codes within a frame. As yet another alternative, the information is encoded in the timing of the combined code c.sub.s/lci transmission within each slot of the frame relative to its associated primary code c.sub.p.

    Abstract: The method an apparatus described herein manages uplink resources to increase spectral efficiency and system capacity. According to one embodiment of the present invention, a base station may be assigned two or more downlink carriers for downlink transmission and two or more corresponding uplink carriers. In a multi-carrier mode, the base station may transmit signals on two or more downlink carriers to the same mobile terminal, and receive signals from the mobile terminal on one of the paired uplink terminals. The uplink carriers can be operated at different interference levels and the uplink traffic can be divided between the available uplink carriers based on the type of traffic and/or data transmission parameters. The mobile terminals may also be allowed to switch between the uplink carriers to improve overall efficiency.

    Abstract: The quality of a received signal in a non-linear receiver is estimated using a coupling matrix G or Q that describes the interaction of symbols in the received signal with other symbols and/or how the impairment (noise and interference) interacts in the received signal. The coupling matrix is also useful for joint detection. The signal quality estimate may include, e.g., the minimum eigenvalue, and other functions, such as the determinant and trace of the coupling matrix. When G or Q varies with each block, as in CDMA systems employing longcode scrambling, a representative matrix can be used, such as a matrix of RMS values or average magnitudes of real and imaginary components. The signal quality estimate can be expressed as a bit error rate (BER).
