    摘要: The computation of code-specific channel matrices for an Assisted Maximum Likelihood Detection (AMLD) receiver comprises separately computing high rate matrices that change each symbol period, and a low rate matrix that is substantially constant over a plurality of symbol periods. The high and low rate matrices are combined to generate a code-specific channel matrix for each receiver stage. The high rate matrices include scrambling and spreading code information, and the low rate matrices include information on the net channel response and combining weights. The low rate matrices are efficiently computed by a linear convolution in the frequency domain of the net channel response and combining weights (with zero padding to avoid circular convolution), then transforming the convolution to the time domain and extracting matrix elements. Where the combining weights are constant across stages, a common code-specific channel matrix may be computed and used in multiple AMLD receiver stages.

    摘要: Adaptive reconfiguration of a wireless receiver is enabled based on channel geometry. According to an embodiment, the wireless receiver includes a geometry factor processing module and signal processing modules, e.g. such as but not limited to an SIR estimation module, a power estimation module, a despreading module, a low-pass filter, a combing weight generation module, a coefficient estimation module, a synchronization control channel interference canceller module, etc. The geometry factor processing module determines a geometry factor for the channel over which signals are transmitted to the wireless receiver, the geometry factor being a measure of the ratio of total transmitted power received by the wireless receiver to total interference plus noise power at the wireless receiver. One or more of the receiver signal processing modules are reconfigurable based on the geometry factor.

    摘要: The placement of processing delays may be adjusted to facilitate signal reception. In an example embodiment, a composite signal having multiple signal images corresponding to multiple reception delays is received. A root-mean-square (RMS) delay spread is ascertained for the multiple reception delays that correspond to the multiple signal images of the composite signal. A set of temporal points is produced responsive to the RMS delay spread. Multiple processing delays are placed based on the set of temporal points. In different example implementations, the set of temporal points (e.g., of a grid) may be produced by adjusting a spacing between temporal points, by adjusting a total number of temporal points in the set, or by changing a center location of the set. The spacing and number of points may be adjusted responsive to the RMS delay spread. The center location may be adjusted responsive to at least one calculated delay.

    摘要: A method and apparatus provide for setting processing delay assignments in a CDMA receiver using a flat-channel placement or using a dispersive channel placement, in dependence on characterizing the channel as flat or dispersive. For example, a receiver maintains a logical flag reliably indicating the current channel state as flat or dispersive, and assigns or otherwise sets processing delays—e.g., for received signal demodulation—using a flat-channel placement algorithm or a dispersive-channel placement algorithm. The “flat-channel” placement algorithm generally provides better performance in flat-channel environments, and the “dispersive-channel” placement algorithm generally provides better performance in dispersive channel environments. Such processing may be regarded as “activating” a simplified processing delay placement grid that offers better performance if the channel truly is flat, with the underlying advantage of providing a reliable mechanism for detecting flat channel conditions.

    摘要: A mobile receiver having a multi-mode interference suppression function and a way to estimate its speed utilizes a parametric approach to interference suppression at high speeds, and a nonparametric approach at low speeds. In particular, if the mobile receiver is currently operating in a nonparametric mode and its speed exceeds a first predetermined threshold, the mobile receiver switches to a parametric mode. Conversely, if the mobile receiver is currently in parametric mode and its speed is less than a second predetermined threshold, the mobile receiver switches to nonparametric mode. In one embodiment, the speed may be estimated by a Doppler frequency in the received signal, and the thresholds are Doppler frequencies. In one embodiment, the first and second thresholds are different, creating a hysteresis in the mode switching.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus for determining an impairment covariance matrix for use in an interference-suppressing CDMA receiver are disclosed. In several of the disclosed embodiments, precise information regarding signal propagation delays is not needed. An exemplary method includes the selection of a plurality of processing delays for processing a received CDMA signal. Net channel coefficients for the processing delays are estimated and used to calculate an impairment covariance matrix. The impairment covariance matrix is calculated as a function of the estimated net channel coefficients and the processing delays, without estimating a propagation medium channel response for the received signal.

    摘要: Exemplary received signal processing may be based on maintaining a model of received signal impairment correlations, wherein each term of the model is updated periodically or as needed based on measuring impairments for a received signal of interest. An exemplary model comprises an interference impairment term scaled by a first model fitting parameter, and a noise impairment term scaled by a second model fitting parameters. The model terms may be maintained based on current channel estimates and delay information and may be fitted to measured impairment by adapting the model fitting parameters based on the measured impairment. The modeled received signal impairment correlations may be used to compute RAKE combining weights for received signal processing, or to compute Signal-to-Interference (SIR) estimates. Combined or separate models may be used for multiple received signals. As such, the exemplary modeling is extended to soft handoff, multiple antennas, and other diversity situations.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for determining operating modes in a receiver is described herein. A delay searcher in the receiver detects a signal image in the received signal. When the receiver is a RAKE receiver, a plurality of RAKE fingers coherently combine time-shifted versions of the received signal at different delays. Alternatively, when the receiver is a chip equalization receiver, an FIR filter coherently pre-combines the signal images in the received signal. A processor determines delays. In particular, the processor generates a first signal quality metric for a single-delay receiver mode, and generates a second signal quality metric for a multi-delay receiver mode. Based on a comparison of the first and second signal quality metrics, the processor selects the single-delay or the multi-delay receiver mode for processing the signal image.

    摘要: A wireless communication receiver is configured to suppress interference with respect to a received signal of interest on a selective basis responsive to evaluating whether the receiver currently is or is not operating in a colored noise/interference environment. For example, an exemplary Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) mobile station activates or deactivates interference suppression responsive to determining and evaluating an orthogonality factor, which, in this context, serves as a measure of how much downlink power gets converted into same-cell interference via multipath propagation. The orthogonality factor thus serves as an indicator of noise plus interference coloration. In one or more exemplary embodiments, then, an exemplary receiver circuit is configured to determine the orthogonality factor, evaluate it, and selectively enable or disable received signal whitening based on that evaluation. The exemplary receiver circuit and associated selective whitening method can be applied to various receiver architectures and signal types.
