Abstract:
A multi-path receiving system is provided. The multi-path receiving system includes a multi-path analyzer, a channel estimator and an equalizer. The multi-path analyzer analyzes a channel impulse response (CIR) of the multi-path channel from the received stream. The channel estimator calculates a channel estimation result from the received stream. The channel estimator comprises a frequency domain interpolation filter performing channel estimation. The frequency domain interpolation filter consumes an amount of power according to the CIR result output from the multi-path analyzer. The equalizer equalizes the received stream based on the channel estimation result.
Abstract:
This present invention is a system and method to adjust a searcher threshold parameter of a RAKE receiver. The adjusting system includes a searcher, a power estimator, and a parameter control apparatus. When the searcher finds and acquires a new path signal, the power estimator will estimate the power of the new path signal and that of the other path signals. The parameter control apparatus will calculate and monitor the power ratio corresponding to the new path signal. If the power ratio remains smaller than a predetermined power ratio parameter for a first predetermined times, the parameter control apparatus will increase the value of the threshold parameter. If the power ratio remains unchanged for a second predetermined times, the parameter control apparatus will lower the value of the threshold parameter. After that, the searcher will acquire the path signals among the multipath signal being searched in accordance with the adjusted threshold parameter. With this adjusted threshold parameter, the present invention can improve the sensitivity of the searcher, acquire the correct path signals in various environments, and provide the correct position of the path signal to the RAKE receiver.
Abstract:
A method for performing frame synchronization in a WCDMA system includes first, correlating a received signal with a plurality of predetermined correlators to obtain a plurality of frame synchronization correlation results, then, coherently combining frame synchronization correlation results with a slot synchronization phase when a test phase difference is less than a threshold phase difference, or, coherently combining frame synchronization correlation results with a linear combination of slot synchronization phases when the test phase difference is greater than or equal to the threshold phase difference. The slot synchronization phase is determined by correlating the received signal with a slot synchronization sequence. Lastly, the method determines a frame boundary of the received signal based on the coherent combination results. The method accommodates for a changing signal to noise ratio to improve frame synchronization speed and accuracy.
