    摘要: A method for reducing interference combines soft symbols using existing processing devices. In particular, transmitted data signals are received over a plurality of paths. The received data signal includes an interference component. The received data signals are processed to provide a plurality of soft symbols that correspond to the transmitted data signal. The plurality of soft symbols are combined to reduce the interference component of the data signal and provided output signal that corresponds to the transmitted data signal. Accordingly, existing equalizers and combiners may be used to reduce interference. Related mobile user terminal and receivers are disclosed.

    摘要: A Direct-Sequence Code Division Multiple Access (DS-CDMA) receiver and method of allocating probing correlators and combining correlators (fingers). A front-end processor converts received radio signals to baseband samples. Based on average path strengths, a controller adaptively allocates probing correlators to signal paths to de-spread certain received signals. Based on path power estimates, the controller adaptively allocates combining correlators to signal paths. The allocations may be made to minimize the total received power at the receiver, or to achieve acceptable performance for all users.

    摘要: A method and apparatus derives an impairment correlation matrix to process signals received at a wireless receiver over multiple paths of a multi-path channel. The receiver includes first and second impairment correlation estimators for estimating first and second impairment correlation matrices based on despread symbols received over multiple paths of a multi-path channel. The receiver then derives the impairment correlation matrix based on the estimated first and second impairment correlation matrices. The receiver may combine traffic despread values to suppress interference using weighting factors calculated based on the derived impairment correlation matrix. Further, the receiver may estimate a signal-to-interference ratio based on the derived impairment correlation matrix.

    摘要: A receiver based on a RAKE receiver architecture includes a logic circuit configured to assign one or more RAKE fingers to a finger placement grid that is independent from a searcher delay grid used by the receiver's searcher in generating multipath delay profiles for received signals. The logic circuit may use the multipath delay profile to “tune” the finger placement grid relative to the searcher delay grid but the delay resolution of the finger placement grid is independent of the searcher delay grid. This independence permits, for example, setting the finger placement grid to a delay resolution based on a Nyquist criterion independently from the delay resolution used by the searcher. The receiver may use two or more finger placement grids, may operate in a mixed mode where fingers are assigned on- and off-grid, and may operate selectively in grid or non-grid modes.

    摘要: The present application describes a new path search and verification method and apparatus for identifying and selecting one or more delays for a receiver. A front-end receiver receives a signal having one or more signal images, where each signal image has a corresponding signal delay. A tree generator builds a hierarchical delay tree from a plurality of delay nodes, each corresponding to one of the signal delays. A tree searcher searches through the delay tree to identify one or more surviving delay nodes, where each surviving delay node corresponds to a candidate delay for the receiver. The receiver may also include a state machine comprising a plurality of ordered states for providing candidate delays for the receiver. The state machine stores the candidate delays and shifts the candidate delays between states within the state machine based on the latest results from the tree searcher.

    摘要: A RAKE receiver circuit generates combining weights based on channel estimates and combining statistics that comprise channel coefficient statistics, noise statistics, and channel estimation error statistics. Together, these statistics incorporate the relationships in noise and channel estimation across two or more RAKE fingers, and thus improve combining weight generation. Exemplary determination of statistics comprises channel coefficient cross-correlations, noise cross-correlations, and channel estimation error cross-correlations. Determination of the statistics can be varied based on, for example, the assumption of default or nominal signal models. Further, statistics determination can be configured for different receive and transmit diversity scenarios, wherein combining statistics can be determined on a per diversity signal basis, or jointly for two or more diversity signals, or in a mixed separate/joint method wherein one or more statistics are determined on a per signal basis and one or more statistics are determined across the signals.
