摘要:
A receiver reduces interference in a received symbol of interest attributable to an interfering symbol using knowledge of the symbol spreading codes. The receiver comprises a plurality of correlators generating despread values for the received symbol of interest and the interfering symbol, and a combiner to combine the despread values using combining weights calculated based on spreading code correlations between spreading codes for the received symbol of interest and the interfering symbol.

A wireless communication receiver improves signal impairment correlation estimation in MIMO/MISO systems by considering different transmit power allocations and different transmit antenna power distributions in its impairment correlation calculations. The receiver may be implemented in according to a variety of architectures, including, but not limited to, Successive Interference Cancellation (SIC) Generalized RAKE (G-RAKE), Joint Detection (JD) G-RAKE, and Minimum Mean Squared Error (MMSE) G-RAKE. Regardless of the particular receiver architecture adopted, the improved impairment correlations may be used to calculate improved (RAKE) signal combining weights and/or improve channel quality estimates for reporting by receivers operating in Wideband CDMA (W-CDMA) systems transmitting HSDPA channels via MIMO or MISO transmitters. A transmitter may be configured to facilitate impairment correlation determinations by wireless communication receivers operating in MIMO/MISO environments, by signaling one or more values, e.g., data-to-pilot signal transmit power ratios and/or transmit antenna power distributions for the data and pilot signals.
摘要:
Techniques are disclosed for processing a received spread spectrum signal containing multiple signals of interest and one or more interfering signals with known spreading codes. An example method begins with the generation of a despread signal vector for each signal of interest, for a given symbol time, using a corresponding group of correlators for each of the signals of interest. The method continues with the calculating of a covariance matrix for the given symbol time, the covariance matrix representing impairment correlations among the correlators from sources other than the signals of interest, as well as from inter-symbol interference in and among the signals of interest. The covariance matrix includes diagonal blocks that each represent impairment correlations among a single one of the groups of correlators; the diagonal blocks are calculated based on first terms that account in a code-specific manner for same-symbol-time interference from each of the interfering signals.

A block coding method and system for improving the reliability of Channel Quality Indicators (CQI) and antenna weight Indicators (AWI) reporting. A user terminal first generates 8-bit CQI and 2-bit AWI. A codeword generator produces a codeword responsive to these 10 CQI/AWI bits using a codebook or a generator matrix of a (20,10,6) code. The (20,10,6) code has a minimum Hamming distance of 6 The encoded codeword is transmitted to a receiver for decoding utilizing an identical (20,10,6) codebook.

摘要:
An adaptive transmission scheme provides multiple levels of adaptation. At a first level, a selection is made between a limited feedback or limited feedback scheme and a rich feedback scheme. At a second level of adaptation, a diversity mode is selected. Additional levels of adaptation could be employed.

A method and apparatus provide advantageous uplink power control for a set of uplink channels transmitted by a mobile terminal or other item of user equipment (UE). The proposed uplink power control maintains the total received power for the set of uplink channels at or about a target received power, while also maintaining the received signal quality for a subset of those channels—e.g., a particular one of them—at or about a target received signal quality. In an advantageous but non-limiting example embodiment, the subset comprises a fixed-rate control channel, and the set includes that control channel and a variable-rate traffic channel. Correspondingly, a base station generates first power control commands to maintain the received signal quality of the control channel at or about some quality target, and generates second power control commands to maintain the total received power (of the two channels) at or about some power target.
