摘要:
The invention relates to a method in a radio base station (110) of a radio 100 telecommunications network (100), wherein the radio base station (110) comprises at least two different types of receivers; a first type of receivers and a second type of receivers. The first type of receivers comprises a different receiving sensitivity than the second type of receivers. The method is for scheduling a first type of receiver to a user equipment (120) within a radio cell (115) served by the radio base station (110). The radio base station determines a distance (125) between the user equipment (120) and a radio cell boundary (127) of the radio cell (115), and schedules the first type of receiver to the user equipment (120) when the distance is determined to be within a distance range.

A rake receiver tracks a component of a multipath information signal transmitted over a communication network. The rake receiver aligns and synchronized the component with a locally generated replica of the code sequence that was originally used to spread the information signal at the transmitter side. The rake receiver derives an early de-spread signal using an early shifted version of the replica of the code sequence. The replica is early shifted by a variable delay. The rake receiver also derives a late shifted de-spread signal using a late shifted version of the replica of the code sequence. The replica is late shifted by the same variable delay. The variable delay may be chosen arbitrarily or among a selection of predetermined values. The predetermined values may be selected so that the tracking process is optimized.

Respective threshold value judging units 108-1 through 108-n compare the likelihoods calculated by the corresponding likelihood calculators 106-1 through 106-n with threshold values stored in a threshold value buffer 109 in terms of size, and output signals, which show the corresponding likelihood in only a case where the likelihood is the threshold value or more, through a likelihood transmission bus 110. The rank decision unit 112 ranks the symbols for which the likelihood is an appointed threshold value or more, on the basis of the likelihoods stored in the likelihood buffer 111, whereby it is possible to relieve the traffic of a bus line and to suppress the amount of processing in a ranking process with respect to all non-demodulated symbols.
摘要:
A method and system for rapidly acquiring a spreading code, used in a code division multiple access (CDMA) system. A first long code and a second long code, with each long code having a length of N chips, are generated. The first long code is different from the second long code. The first long code and the second long code are transmitted at a first phase angle and at a second phase angle, respectively, on a carrier signal, over a communications channel using radio waves. The first long code and the second long code may be transmitted at an in-phase (I) angle and at a quadrature-phase (Q) angle, respectively, on the carrier signal. From the communications channel, an I-phase acquisition circuit and a Q-phase acquisition circuit may acquire, in parallel, the first long code and the second long code from the I-phase angle and the Q-phase angle, respectively, of the carrier signal by searching, in parallel, N/2 chips, the first long code and the second long code.

Delay profile creation sections 7 and 8 create a delay profile for each of fixed directivity reception signals combined using a plurality of fixed weight patterns. A path search section 11 detects a delay profile in which the maximum peak has appeared. An initial value weight selection section 12 selects the fixed weight corresponding to the delay profile in which the maximum peak has appeared as an initial value weight. An adaptive array antenna reception control section 13 uses this initial value weight as the initial value of an optimization algorithm to calculate the optimal weight of the adaptive array antenna. Thus, it is possible to reduce the time required to calculate the optimal weight by means of the optimization algorithm.

摘要:
Locations of path rays in a multi-path channel receiver having multiple time references are detected, e.g., when the receiver switches time references. Locations of received path rays are searched for and determined. The locations are tracked for a predetermined amount of time. If the locations are lost after a predetermined amount of time, a new search for the locations of the received path rays is initiated. The searching may include determining a probable location of a most significant path ray, shifting the location within a predetermined interval, analyzing each shifted location to determine whether the shifted location corresponds to the actual location of the received path ray, and depending on the analysis results, completing the search or determining a probable location of a next most significant ray. The analysis may be performed by correlating each shifted location with a pilot sequence and determining if the correlation results exceed a predetermined threshold. If the correlation results do not exceed the threshold, a determination is made whether all the most significant path rays have been analyzed, and if so, a complete search for the path ray location is initiated. When switching from a time reference of low accuracy to a time reference of high accuracy, the low accuracy time reference may be calibrated to the high accuracy time reference based on averaged measurements of the ratio of clock cycles of the time reference of high accuracy to the clock cycles of the time reference of low accuracy.

A radio communication apparatus which is used in a CDMA communication system, has a plurality of fingers, and performs rake reception, includes a delay profile calculating section and a finger path allocating section. The delay profile calculating section calculates a delay profile using a reception signal. The finger path allocating section allocates path positions to the plurality of fingers on the basis of the delay profile calculated by the delay profile calculating section. A delay profile calculation cycle in the delay profile calculating section is variable. A power consumption control method is also disclosed.
摘要:
A multiple access, spread-spectrum communication system processes a plurality of information signals received by a Radio Carrier Station (RCS) over telecommunication lines for simultaneous transmission over a radio frequency (RF) channel as a code-division-multiplexed (CDM) signal to a group of Subscriber Units (SUs). The RCS receives a call request signal that corresponds to a telecommunication line information signal, and a user identification signal that identifies a user to receive the call. The RCS includes a plurality of Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) modems, one of which provides a global pilot code signal. The modems provide message code signals synchronized to the global pilot signal. Each modem combines an information signal with a message code signal to provide a CDM processed signal. The RCS includes a system channel controller is coupled to receive a remote call. An RF transmitter is connected to all of the modems to combine the CDM processed signals with the global pilot code signal to generate a CDM signal. The RF transmitter also modulates a carrier signal with the CDM signal and transmits the modulated carrier signal through an RF communication channel to the SUs. Each SU includes a CDMA modem which is also synchronized to the global pilot signal. The CDMA modem despreads the CDM signal and provides a despread information signal to the user. The system includes a closed loop power control system for maintaining a minimum system transmit power level for the RCS and the SUs, and system capacity management for maintaining a maximum number of active SUs for improved system performance.
摘要:
A RAKE receiver (112) includes a plurality of fingers (122, 124, 126, 128). Each finger includes a demodulator (402) for demodulating a ray of a multipath signal and a time tracking circuit (404) for controlling the time position of the finger in accordance with time position of the ray. A low delay-spread condition is detected and the positions of two adjacent fingers are controlled to prevent convergence of two or more fingers about a common time position. By maintaining finger timing separation, path diversity is exploited by the RAKE receiver even during the low delay-spread condition to improve receiver performance.
