A symbol detector converts initial symbol estimates of received symbols to soft estimates for decoding. The symbol detector computes spreading waveform correlations between a spreading waveform for a symbol of interest and spreading waveforms for one or more interfering symbols. Interference rejection terms are computed by scaling the spreading waveform correlations by corresponding signal powers and compensating for noise. A soft scaling factor for the symbol of interest is computed from the interference rejection terms. The soft scaling factors are then applied to the initial symbol estimates to generate the soft estimates.

Signal processing delays are selected from a candidate set in a wireless receiver based on both present and past channel behavior. According to one embodiment, a subset of signal processing delays are selected for received signal processing by accumulating a history of periodic delay selection computations for a candidate set of signal processing delays during a time interval. The delay selection calculations are based on cross-correlations between different ones of the signal processing delays. At the end of the time interval, a subset of the signal processing delays are selected from the candidate set of delays for received signal processing based on the history of delay selection computations.

Techniques for adapting detection schemes used in receivers for receiving radio signals are described. The received signal is processed to determine, for example, an amount of time dispersion present in the radio channel. Based on this determination an appropriate detection scheme is selected for detecting the transmitted symbols. Various techniques for determining the dispersive or non-dispersive nature of the channel are described.

The present invention relates to a receiver comprising a fast power control unit, said fast power control unit being arranged to continuously control a quality measure of a radio channel. The receiver is characterized in that the quality measure is a modified Signal to Interference plus noise ratio (SIR) in which the influence from self interference has been removed. The invention further relates to a method for continuously controlling a quality measure of a radio channel, wherein a modified Signal to Interference plus noise ratio (SIR) is continuously determined in which the influence from self interference has been removed.

A wireless communication device or system generates transmit power control feedback for a received power control channel by determining a command error rate (CER), or by identifying a target signal quality for the power control channel according to a defined signal-quality-to-CER mapping function. Generally, the power control channel does not include error-coded data to use for CER estimation. However, in one embodiment, the channel does include known reference bits that are evaluated for CER estimation, with the estimated CER used to set the signal quality target for inner loop power control. In other embodiments, a computed reception error probability is used to identify a CER estimate according to a defined probability-to-CER mapping function. By way of non-limiting example, these embodiments may be used to provide power control feedback for power control commands transmitted on a Fractional Dedicated Physical Channel in WCDMA systems.

Teachings presented herein offer improved symbol block detection by including a decoder unit in a demodulation system. Utilizing a decoder unit in a demodulation system can significantly enhance symbol block detection because the decoder can produce bit likelihood values (soft bit values), and these bit likelihood values can be used to construct a set of candidate symbol values. Advantageously, this set of candidate symbol values is more likely to contain the actually transmitted symbol(s) than if the decoder unit was not used in the demodulation system.

Where two or more multi-valued digital data symbols are modulated so that they overlap after passing through a channel, forming a combined signal, a receiver receives the combined signal and forms detection statistics to attempt to recover the symbols. Where forming detection statistics does not completely separate the symbols, each statistic comprises a different mix of the symbols. A receiver determines the symbols which, when mixed in the same way, reproduce or explain the statistics most closely. For example, the receiver hypothesizes all but one of the symbols and subtracts the effect of the hypothesized symbols from the mixed statistics. The remainders are combined and quantized to the nearest value of the remaining symbol. For each hypothesis, the remaining symbol is determined. A metric is then computed for each symbol hypothesis including the so-determined remaining symbol, and the symbol set producing the best metric is chosen as the decoded symbols.

According to a method and apparatus taught herein, a decoding circuit and method decode linear block codes based on determining joint probabilities for one or more related subsets of bits in received data blocks. The use of joint probabilities enables faster and more reliable determination of received bits, meaning that, for example, joint probability decoding requires fewer decoding iterations than a comparable decoding process based on single-bit probabilities. As a non-limiting example, the decoding circuit and method taught herein provide advantageous operation with Low Density Parity Check (LDPC) codes, and can be incorporated in a variety of communication systems and devices, such as those associated with wireless communication networks.
