摘要:
A method and system are described for processing a received signal at a receiver in a communication system. The receiver includes a digital filter and automatic gain control means. Information indicating the frequency band of operation and the type of service of the received signal is received at the receiver from the communication system. The gain and filtering parameters of the receiver are set according to the received information. The received signal is processed at the receiver using the gain and filtering parameters. Optionally, a determination of whether the received signal contains adjacent channel interference above a predetermined allowable threshold may also be made and the determination may then be used in setting the gain and filtering parameters.

Methods for calculating a delay spread estimate in an OFDM-receiver are described, along with computer program products and electronic apparatuses for performing the methods. The methods comprise determining a position of an FFT-window in relation to one or more OFDM-symbols of a received OFDM-signal and using the determined position to obtain a first OFDM-symbol from the received OFDM-signal. An FFT is applied to the first OFDM-symbol to produce an FFT-output signal. A frequency dependent phase rotation component of the FFT-output signal is determined and removed from the FFT-output signal. A number of zero-crossings of at least one of a real component and an imaginary component of a transfer function of a channel, over which the received OFDM-signal has been transmitted, derived from the FFT-output signal where the frequency dependent phase rotation component has been removed is determined, and a delay spread estimate is calculated based on the determined number of zero-crossings.

Methods and devices for detecting a symbol in a radio channel and for cell identification are disclosed. A signal is received from the radio channel and the signal is filtered by a filter being responsive to the symbol thereby establishing a first signal. A second signal dependent on the noise floor of the received signal is established—whereby a time interval expected to include multi-path components being excluded or suppressed. A third signal being the ratio between the first signal and the noise floor is established, and the presence of the symbol is detected by detecting a peak in the third signal.

A method and apparatus for adjusting the gain of an amplifier (202) in a communication receiver comprising: estimating the power of a time domain signal (307); estimating the power distribution on one or more sub-carriers of a frequency domain signal (309) transformed from the time domain signal; and generating a gain control signal for the amplifier based on the estimated power of the time domain signal and the power distribution on sub-carriers of the frequency domain signal (311).

A method and apparatus for predicting channel estimates for non-received signal frequencies provides knowledge of propagation channel characteristics for non-received frequencies. One embodiment predicts uplink (or downlink) channel estimates based on measured downlink (or uplink) channel estimates, which is advantageous in systems having different uplink and downlink frequencies. Another embodiment predicts channel responses for non-received OFDM sub carrier frequencies based on measuring channel responses for received OFDM sub carrier frequencies. Such processing may comprise, for example, measuring channel responses for received OFDM pilot sub carriers, predicting channel responses at frequency intervals corresponding to pilot sub carrier spacing, and interpolating between those values to predict channel responses at data sub carrier frequencies.

Disclosed is a method of generating a detection signal for detecting energy in a spread-spectrum signal, comprising: de-spreading the spread-spectrum signal by applying a predetermined spreading code to obtain a sequence of de-spread signal symbols (202A-202D); accumulating a number of said signal symbols to obtain a single detection signal. The accumulation includes: obtaining a first and a second subset of said de-spread signal symbols, wherein the symbols of the first subset have values that are known to the receiver or at least known to be the same for all symbols of the first subset, and wherein the symbols of the second subset have unknown values; coherently accumulating the symbols of the first subset to obtain a first partial detection signal (203A, 203B, 203C); non-coherently accumulating the symbols of the second subset to obtain a second partial detection signal (204A, 204B, 204C); and combining the first and second partial detection signals to obtain the single detection signal (208).

Methods, receivers, and computer program products for defining asymmetric decision regions of a symbol space to interpret transmitted power control commands are disclosed. A method of determining transmitted power control commands at a receiver can include defining a first decision region of a symbol space associated with a first power control command at the receiver and a second decision region of the symbol space associated with a second power control command at the receiver where the first and second regions are asymmetric with one another. Methods of determining a transmitted power control command during soft handover mode in a wideband code division multiple access communications system are also discussed wherein a first determination of a combined power control command received from a plurality of transmitters can be combined with a second determination of the combined power control command received from the plurality of transmitters to provide a combined power control command. Related circuits are disclosed as well.
