Abstract:
A code division multiple access base station is used in receiving a plurality of data signals over a shared spectrum. Each received data signal experiences a similar channel response. A combined signal of the received data signals is received over the shared spectrum. The combined signal is sampled at a multiple of the chip rate. A channel response is estimated as a channel response matrix at the multiple of the chip rate. A padded version of a spread data vector of a size corresponding to the multiple chip rate using a column of the channel response matrix, the estimated channel response matrix, the samples and a fourier transform. The spread data vector is estimated by eliminating elements of the padded version so that the estimated spread data vector is of a size corresponding to the chip rate.

A code division multiple access user equipment is used in receiving a plurality of data signals over a shared spectrum. Each received data signal experiences a similar channel response. A combined signal of the received data signals is received over a shared spectrum. The combined signal is sampled at a multiple of the chip rate. A channel response is estimated. A first element of a spread data vector is determined using the combined signal samples and the estimated channel response. A factor from the first element determination is used to determine remaining elements of the spread data vector. Data of the data signals is estimated using the determined elements of the spread data vector.

A particular cell of a hybrid time division multiple access/code division multiple access communication system has a base station and a plurality of user requirements. Timeslots having unacceptable interference for the uplink are estimated. Timeslots having unacceptable interference for the downlink are estimated. An availability list is produced. The availability list indicates available uplink and downlink timeslots having acceptable interference levels. Uplink and downlink timeslots are assigned using the availability list.
Abstract:
A low cost method and system for efficiently implementing channel estimation in a wireless communication system using any desired length of a fast Fourier transform (FFT) independent of burst type or signal structure. The hardware complexity required to perform the channel estimation to process a plurality of different burst types is reduced. Simple tail zero-padding is used when the length of FFT is extended to a desired length for more efficient computation.
Abstract:
A wireless time division duplex/code division multiple access user equipment measures an interference level in time slots. The interference measurements are transmitted. The transmitted interference measurements enable for each of a plurality of nearby user equipments potentially near the user equipment not in a cell of the user equipment to classify timeslots and to determine non-interfering and interfering ones of the nearby user equipments using the timeslots classifying. Communications are transmitted over timeslots assigned by a received timeslot assignment. The received timeslot assignment based on the determined non-interfering and interfering ones of the nearby user equipments. The received timeslot assignment is received. Communications are received over timeslots assigned by the received timeslot assignment.
Abstract:
A plurality of communication signals have differing spreading codes. Each communication has an associated code comprising chips. For each chip of each communication, a vector of that chip convolved with an impulse response is produced. For each communication, support blocks comprising the chip vectors are produced. A number of the chip vectors in a support block is based on that communication's spreading factor. A system response matrix is assembled. The system response matrix has symbol sub-matrices. Each symbol sub-matrix comprises a support block from each communication. Data of the communications is detected using the symbol response matrix.
Abstract:
Data is to be estimated from a received plurality of data signals in a code division multiple access communication system. The data signals are transmitted in a shared spectrum at substantially a same time. A combined signal of the transmitted data signals are received over the shared spectrum and sampled. A channel response for the transmitted data signals is estimated. Data of the data signals is estimated using the samples and the estimated channel response. The data estimation uses a fourier transform based data estimating approach. An error in the data estimation introduced from a circulant approximation used in the fourier transform based approach is iteratively reduced.

A combined signal of the received data signals is received over the shared spectrum. The combined signal is sampled at a multiple of the chip rate. A channel response is estimated at the multiple of the chip rate. The multiple chip rate estimated channel response is combined as an effective chip rate channel response.
