    摘要: A device that estimates information from a signal includes a receiver for receiving an input signal and electronic processing circuitry. The electronic processing circuitry generates a matrix associated with the input signal and determines an approximation of an inverse of the matrix based on the adjoint of the matrix and a scaling factor associated with the determinant of the matrix. This approximation avoids possible mathematical difficulties that may be encountered in certain situations when a typical matrix inversion is calculated. The approximated inverse matrix is applied to the input signal to transform the input signal into an output signal. Information associated with the input signal is then determined based on the output signal.

    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: Teachings presented herein offer reduced and stable computational complexity for symbol block detection using multi-stage assistance, and also provide for the generation of soft bit values. A demodulator generates these soft bit values by forming from a set of candidate symbol combinations, for each group of symbols in a symbol block, a subset of candidate symbol combinations for that group. The demodulator selects from the set the most likely combination, at least one combination that has a complementary bit value for a respective bit value in the most likely combination, and as many of the next most likely combinations not already selected as are needed for the size of the subset to conform to a pre-determined size. The demodulator generates soft bit values by limiting the candidate combinations of symbols considered for a symbol block according to the subsets formed for the groups of symbols in that symbol block.

    摘要: Method and apparatuses taught herein enable link adaptation feedback to be determined in advance for future transmit intervals, based on one or more data sending units sending indications of future transmit resource allocations, and receiving corresponding link adaptation feedback from data receiving units. Knowledge of the future transmit resource allocations enable individual data sending units to predict interference conditions for the future transmit interval, and thereby compute link adaptation feedback that takes advantage of low-interference conditions. Individual data sending units receive link adaptation feedback for the future transmit interval from the data receiving units they are supporting, and make corresponding link adaptations for the future transmit interval. Such operations are, in one or more embodiments, carried out in a Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA), Long Term Evolution LTE), or WiMAX network, wherein the data sending units comprise radio base stations, and the data receiving units comprise wireless communication devices.

    摘要: In a mobile communication system with a shared downlink traffic channel, the mobile terminals in contention for the downlink traffic channel report channel conditions to the base stations. The base station schedules the mobile terminals based on channel quality estimates from the mobile terminals and selects a transmitter configuration. The transmitter configuration may comprise, for example, the antenna configuration, and/or power and code allocations used by the base station. The base station broadcasts the transmitter configuration to all active and inactive mobile terminals. Knowledge of the transmitter configuration by the inactive mobile terminals improves the accuracy and reliability of the channel quality estimates.

    摘要: Multi-transmitter interference caused by one or more interfering own-cell and/or other-cell transmitters is reduced in a RAKE-based receiver. The RAKE-based receiver comprises a plurality of RAKE fingers, a processor and a combiner. The plurality of RAKE fingers are configured to despread received symbols, wherein a delay for a first one of the plurality of RAKE fingers corresponds to a symbol of interest transmitted by a first transmitter and a delay for a second one of the plurality of RAKE fingers corresponds to an interfering symbol transmitted by a second transmitter. The processor is configured to determine a cross-correlation between the symbol of interest and the interfering symbol. The combiner is configured to combine the symbol of interest with the interfering symbol using the cross-correlation to reduce interference attributable to the interfering symbol from the symbol of interest.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus are disclosed for suppressing both own-cell and other-cell interference in the processing of multiple signals of interest in a received composite signal. In an exemplary embodiment of the methods disclosed herein, combining weights for each of a first plurality of signals of interest in a composite information signal are computed, based on first shared signal correlation data computed from the composite information signal. A reduced-interference composite signal is calculated from the composite information signal, using, for instance, subtractive interference cancellation or interference projection techniques. Combining weights for processing each of a second plurality of signals of interest are computed as a function of second shared signal correlation data corresponding to the reduced-interference composite signal. Corresponding apparatus, including G-Rake and chip equalizer embodiments are also disclosed.

    摘要: Teachings presented herein offer the performance advantages of sequence estimation for received signal symbol detection, while simultaneously providing potentially significant reductions in computational overhead. Initial demodulation of a received signal identifies a reduced number of candidate symbol values for all or a subset of a sequence of symbols represented in a received signal. A sequence estimation process, e.g., an MLSE process, constrains its state spaces to the reduced number of candidate symbols values, rather than considering all possible symbol values.
