摘要:
A method and apparatus for providing orthogonal spot beams (14a, 14b), sectors (16a, 16b), and picocells (18), by using orthogonal auxiliary pilots and different Walsh traffic channels in adjacent areas. According to the IS-95 standard, the pilot signal is covered with the 64-chip Walsh sequence zero. Designating the 64-chip all zeros Walsh sequence as P and the 64-chip all one sequence as M, additional pilot signals are provided in the present invention by concatenating the P and the M sequences. Thus, for two pilot signals, pilot Walsh sequences of PP and PM can be used. For four pilot signals, pilot Walsh sequences of PPPP, PMPM, PPMM, and PMMP can be used. In general, the required number of pilot Walsh sequences can be generated by substituting each bit in an K-bit Walsh sequence with the 64-chip all zeros P or all ones M sequence, depending on the value of that bit.
摘要:
A method for coherent estimation of the traffic-to-pilot energy ratio is presented. A received preamble is decoded, and then re-encoded. The received preamble is then multiplied by the re-encoded preamble. The results are summed, squared, and then divided by a pilot energy value. In another method, a message carrying energy information can be inserted between a subpacket preamble and a subpacket.

A method and apparatus for providing orthogonal spot beams, sectors, and picocells. The transmissions can be made orthogonally by using orthogonal auxiliary pilots and different Walsh traffic channels in adjacent areas. In accordance with the IS-95 standard, the pilot signal is covered with the 64-chip Walsh sequence zero. The 64-chip all zeros Walsh sequence can be designated as P and the 64-chip all one sequence can be designated as M. In the present invention, additional pilot signals can be provided by concatenating 64-chip all zeros P and all ones M sequences. Thus, for two pilot signals, pilot Walsh sequences of PP and PM can be used. For four pilot signals, pilot Walsh sequences of PPPP, PMPM, PPMM, and PMMP can be used. The present invention can be extended such that any required number of pilot Walsh sequences can be generated by substituting each bit in an K-bit Walsh sequence with the 64-chip all zeros P or all ones M sequence depending on the value of that bit.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for providing diversity transmissions to a mobile unit from a transmitting station having at least first and second antennas by repeatedly switching between the two antennas during the transmission of information to the receiving unit. Message information is transmitted from the first antenna in the transmitting station to the receiving unit. After the start of the transmission of the message information from the first antenna, transmission of the message information from the first antenna to the receiving unit terminates and transmission of the message information from the second antenna in the transmitting station to the receiving unit is initiated. Some time after transmission of the message information from second antenna is initiated, the transmission of the message information from the second antenna to the receiving unit terminates and transmission of the message information from the first antenna in the transmitting station to the receiving unit is initiated. Repeated switching between the first and second antennas is achieved by repeating the process. The switching results in diversity transmissions that improve the ability of a receiving unit to receive the coded and interleaved transmitted message information from the transmitting station. The interleaver disperses the encoded symbols in each antenna dwell period such that the decoder decisions are based on a mix of symbols form each antenna. Therefore the decoder decisions are unreliable only when the mix of symbols from the different antennas, with different fading characteristics, are unreliable over the span of symbols the decoder uses in its decision process.

摘要:
A method and system that enables faster acquisition of the forward link signal of a target base station in a mixed network of synchronous and asynchronous base stations is disclosed. The serving base station transmits in a neighbor list an estimated timing error 417 between the serving base station and a target base station. By utilizing the timing information, a mobile station estimates the relative time offset 408 between forward link signals received from the serving base station and signals received from the target base station. Timing information acquired during handoff enables accurate updating of the estimated timing error 417 subsequently transmitted in the neighbor lists by the base stations.

摘要:
A method and system for generating forward link channels in a synchronous CDMA base station having a pilot pseudonoise (PN) sequence with a pilot PN sequence offset. In one embodiment the method includes the steps of generating a sync channel including a sync channel message; generating an identification channel including at least the pilot PN sequence offset; and orthogonalizing the sync channel and the identification channel. The identification channel and the sync channel are both transmitted. However, the mobile station may get the pilot PN offset from the identification channel quickly, rather than having to demodulate the entire sync channel message. The identification channel may further include an indication of the phase of the pilot PN sequence, and the epoch of the pilot PN sequence. In one embodiment, the method includes encoding the identification channel using a Golay code.
