摘要:
A probe, listen and select (PLS) technique can be used to select from an available frequency spectrum a frequency band whose communication quality is suitable for wireless communication at a desired rate. Probe packets can be transmitted on different frequencies (223) during a known period of time (TPLS), and frequency channel quality information can be obtained (225) from the probe packets. This quality information can then be used to select a desirable frequency band (227). The communication quality of the selected band can also be used as basis for selecting (141) from among a plurality of modulation and coding combinations that are available for use in communications operations.

Based on monitored quality of various frequency channels between first and second frequency hopping wireless communication devices, communications between the first and second devices can be scheduled with respect to a predetermined frequency hopping pattern such that communications are advantageously transmitted on selected frequencies that are more likely than others to provide acceptable communication performance.

A wireless communication network (10). The network comprises a wireless receiver (14). The receiver comprises at least one antenna (AT14) for receiving a plurality of frames in a form of a plurality of paths. Each of the plurality of frames is modulated by a plurality of chips, and chip in the plurality of chips has a like chip duration. The receiver further comprises a plurality of path resources (F1, F2), and this plurality of path resources comprises a first path resource (F1) configured to receive a first plurality of symbols from a first path in the plurality of paths and a second path resource (F2) configured to receive a second plurality of symbols from a second path in the plurality of paths. The plurality of path resources also comprises circuitry for sampling the second path at a time less than the chip duration from a time when the circuitry for sampling samples the first path. Still further, the plurality of path resources comprise circuitry (442, 461), responsive to the circuitry for sampling, for establishing a first channel estimate for the first path in response to the first path and the second path. Lastly, the plurality of path resources comprises circuitry (441, 462), responsive to the circuitry for sampling, for establishing a second channel estimate for the second path in response to the first path and the second path.

摘要:
Antenna reception diversity is provided for wireless communications such that a received signal (r) can be produced by combining antenna signals (vi) with their associated fading amplitudes (&agr;i) as estimated by a linear receiver (32). Also, antenna signals (v1i) can be combined with their associated correlation values (&agr;1i) in place of estimated fading amplitudes. Further, inherent characteristics of a non-linear wireless communication receiver can be exploited such that a received signal (r2, r3) can be produced without any additional overhead that would otherwise be needed to provide estimated fading amplitudes.

A circuit coupled to receive a sequence of signals is designed with a multiplication circuit (416, 420) coupled to receive a first signal, a second signal and a complex conjugate of the first signal. The second signal follows the first signal in time. The multiplication circuit produces a first product sequence of the first signal and the complex conjugate and a second product sequence of the second signal and the complex conjugate. A summation circuit (424, 426) is coupled to receive the first product sequence and the second product sequence. The summation circuit produces a first sum of the first product sequence and a second sum of the second product sequence.

A method of power saving for a wireless transceiver (FIGS. 1 and 2) is disclosed. The transceiver has an active power mode (504) and a reduced power mode (510). The transceiver is operated in the reduced power mode (510) and monitors transmissions from a remote wireless transmitter while in the reduced power mode. The transceiver identifies a transmission from the remote wireless transmitter by a transceiver identity included in the transmission (FIG. 6, UE identification). The transceiver transitions to the active power mode (512) in response to identifying the transmission.
