Abstract:
Components and method are provided to efficiently process wireless communications data where prior knowledge of the specific format of the communication data is not available. A wireless transmit receive unit (WTRU) is configured for use in a wireless communication system where communication data for selected channels is transmitted in system time frames in formats selected from among a set of predefined formats. The WTRU has a receiver, a memory, a received chip rate processor (RCRP), a format detector and a de-interleaver. The RCRP is preferably configured to despread each wireless signal of spread data received in each time frame using a minimum spreading code or other appropriate key sequence and to store resultant despread data for each respective time frame in the memory. The format detector is preferably configured to determine the number of physical channels and the respective spreading factor for each physical channel for the wireless signal of spread data received in each time frame. The de-interleaver is preferably configured to de-interleave the stored data despread by the RCRP for each respective time frame into the number of physical channels determined by the format detector for the respective time frame.
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:
A channel estimation method which reduces the strain on resources of a Rake receiver using a complex weight gain (CWG) algorithm. In one embodiment, a nonadaptive algorithm is used to average blocks of pilot symbols from several slots. In another embodiment, an adaptive algorithm implements sliding window averaging or a recursive filter. Using a CWG algorithm reduces the memory and processor requirements of the Rake receiver.
Abstract:
A parallel interference cancellation receiver that reduces impulse response interference using a model of the received signal similar to that used in block linear equalizers. Block linear equalizers comprise decorrelating receivers, zero-forcing receivers, minimum mean square error receivers and the like. The invention comprises an interference computation processor feedback loop for correcting the output of a direct interference canceller. The m iterative process removes interferers from the output symbols of a matched-filter. The PIC receiver uses received signal models of the various block linear equalizers that do not assume that each subchannel consists of several distinct paths. The receiver estimates the impulse response characteristic of each subchannel as a whole.
