    摘要: RAKE-based receivers utilize lattice reduction for improving symbol estimation accuracy. Channel response estimates and received signal streams are transformed from a constellation lattice basis to an integer lattice basis to increase the orthogonality of symbol estimation decision regions. In one embodiment, received signal streams are processed by generating despread signal samples from received signal streams transmitted using different spreading codes. Channel response associated with the different received signal streams is estimated and transformed from a first lattice basis to a second lattice basis having greater orthogonality between decision regions than the first lattice basis. The despread signal samples are aligned to the second lattice and combining weights generated based on the transformed channel response estimate. Symbol estimation decision statistics are generated based on the combining weights and the aligned despread signal samples. Soft bit values are generated for decoding based on the symbol estimation decision statistics.

    摘要: According to the present invention, the effects of the transmission medium on transmitted information symbols are estimated separately from other effects, e.g., those associated with receive and transmit filters, using knowledge of the pulse shaping. The medium response estimate is then used to detect information symbols. Previously, receivers had used estimates of the composite channel to detect symbols. This, however, assumed uncorrelated noise, which is not always the case.

    摘要: A base station and method are described herein that vertically sweeps an antenna beam within a cell to improve the signal quality at scheduled times for a user terminal located within a coverage area of the cell. In one embodiment, the method improves a signal quality for a user terminal by: (a) vertically sweeping a beam within a cell coverage area to vary a signal quality at scheduled times for the user terminal located within the cell coverage area; and (b) performing one or more scheduling functions while taking into account variations in the vertical sweep of the antenna beam. For instance, the scheduling function(s) can include a link adaptation function, a resource allocation function, a user admittance/dropping function, a handover function, and/or a hybrid automatic repeat request function.

    摘要: A mobile terminal measures interference over multiple measurement periods and generates interference probability data based on the statistical distribution of the interference measured. The interference probability data may describe, for example, the probability of each possible level of interference expected at the mobile terminal. The mobile terminal derives channel quality information as feedback to a base station based on this interference probability data (e.g., when noise at the mobile terminal falls below a threshold). In one embodiment, the mobile terminal does so by estimating from the interference probability data the probability of successfully receiving a transmission if certain feedback information is reported. Derived in this way, the feedback information more reliably indicates interference likely present at the mobile terminal when the base station sends the transmission. Accordingly, the base station controls the transmission based on the feedback information, and in some embodiments, also based on the interference probability data.

    摘要: A positioning system locates a mobile unit by compensating for component tolerances in time-of-arrivals of received signals at a plurality of positioning radio receivers. The system determines detection times of the received radio signals at the positioning radio receivers. The system takes into account pre-stored signal delays associated with one or more receiver stages of the corresponding positioning radio receivers and the detection times, for determining time-of-arrivals for the received radio signals.
