    摘要: Methods and apparatus for determining an impairment covariance matrix for use in an interference-suppressing CDMA receiver are disclosed. In several of the disclosed embodiments, precise information regarding signal propagation delays is not needed. An exemplary method includes the selection of a plurality of processing delays for processing a received CDMA signal. Net channel coefficients for the processing delays are estimated and used to calculate an impairment covariance matrix. The impairment covariance matrix is calculated as a function of the estimated net channel coefficients and the processing delays, without estimating a propagation medium channel response for the received signal.

    摘要: According to one embodiment taught herein, a method of determining impairment correlations between a plurality of delays of interest for a received CDMA signal comprises generating kernel functions as samples of a net channel response of the received CDMA signal taken at defined chip sampling phases for delay differences between the plurality of delays of interest. In a parametric Generalized Rake (G-Rake) receiver embodiment, the delays of interest represent the delay positions of the fingers being used to characterized received signal. In a chip equalizer receiver embodiment, the delays of interest represent the delay positions of the equalizer taps. The method continues with determining impairment correlations based on convolving the kernel functions. Corresponding receiver circuits, including an impairment correlation estimation circuit configured for parametric G-Rake operation, may be implemented in a variety of communication devices and systems, such as in wireless communication network base stations and mobile stations.

    摘要: A device that estimates information from a signal includes a receiver for receiving an input signal and electronic processing circuitry. The electronic processing circuitry generates a matrix associated with the input signal and determines an approximation of an inverse of the matrix based on the adjoint of the matrix and a scaling factor associated with the determinant of the matrix. This approximation avoids possible mathematical difficulties that may be encountered in certain situations when a typical matrix inversion is calculated. The approximated inverse matrix is applied to the input signal to transform the input signal into an output signal. Information associated with the input signal is then determined based on the output signal.

    摘要: Teachings presented herein offer reduced and stable computational complexity for symbol block detection using multi-stage assistance, and also provide for the generation of soft bit values. A demodulator generates these soft bit values by forming from a set of candidate symbol combinations, for each group of symbols in a symbol block, a subset of candidate symbol combinations for that group. The demodulator selects from the set the most likely combination, at least one combination that has a complementary bit value for a respective bit value in the most likely combination, and as many of the next most likely combinations not already selected as are needed for the size of the subset to conform to a pre-determined size. The demodulator generates soft bit values by limiting the candidate combinations of symbols considered for a symbol block according to the subsets formed for the groups of symbols in that symbol block.

    摘要: Method and apparatuses taught herein enable link adaptation feedback to be determined in advance for future transmit intervals, based on one or more data sending units sending indications of future transmit resource allocations, and receiving corresponding link adaptation feedback from data receiving units. Knowledge of the future transmit resource allocations enable individual data sending units to predict interference conditions for the future transmit interval, and thereby compute link adaptation feedback that takes advantage of low-interference conditions. Individual data sending units receive link adaptation feedback for the future transmit interval from the data receiving units they are supporting, and make corresponding link adaptations for the future transmit interval. Such operations are, in one or more embodiments, carried out in a Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA), Long Term Evolution LTE), or WiMAX network, wherein the data sending units comprise radio base stations, and the data receiving units comprise wireless communication devices.

    摘要: In a mobile communication system with a shared downlink traffic channel, the mobile terminals in contention for the downlink traffic channel report channel conditions to the base stations. The base station schedules the mobile terminals based on channel quality estimates from the mobile terminals and selects a transmitter configuration. The transmitter configuration may comprise, for example, the antenna configuration, and/or power and code allocations used by the base station. The base station broadcasts the transmitter configuration to all active and inactive mobile terminals. Knowledge of the transmitter configuration by the inactive mobile terminals improves the accuracy and reliability of the channel quality estimates.

    摘要: Channel and correlation characteristics are determined for a composite signal. Respective combining weights for information from the composite signal are determined for respective ones of a plurality of candidate delays based on the determined channel and correlation characteristics. A group of delays, e.g., RAKE correlator delays or chip equalizer filter taps, is selected from the plurality of candidate delays based on the determined weights. Information from the composite signal for the selected delays is processed according to a spreading code to generate a symbol estimate. The invention may be embodied as methods, apparatus and computer program products.

    摘要: Teachings presented herein offer the performance advantages of sequence estimation for received signal symbol detection, while simultaneously providing potentially significant reductions in computational overhead. Initial demodulation of a received signal identifies a reduced number of candidate symbol values for all or a subset of a sequence of symbols represented in a received signal. A sequence estimation process, e.g., an MLSE process, constrains its state spaces to the reduced number of candidate symbols values, rather than considering all possible symbol values.
