Provided is a system and method for constructing a data message in a communications device including a processor configured to process sequentially transmitted messages. Each of the messages requires a predetermined number of data frames. The technique of the instant invention includes receiving portions of at least two of the transmitted messages in the processor. Each of the at least two received portions includes a subset of the predetermined number of data frames and excludes a remainder of the predetermined number of data frames. The subset of one of the received portions substantially matches the remainder of the other portion. Next, a determination is made as to whether a total number of the received subsets equals the predetermined number. Finally, a synthesized messaged is produced when the total number of the subsets is at least equal to the predetermined number. The synthesized message is formed of a combination of the subsets from each of the received portions.

A novel and improved method and apparatus for searching is described. This searcher combines the ability to search multiple offsets of single pilots, such as those found in the IS-95 system, with the ability to search multiple pilots, such as those found in a GPS location determination system. Both types of searching can be done in a single architecture combining the parallel computation features of a matched filter with the flexibility of allowing a variable number of coherent accumulations and a variable number of non-coherent accumulations to be performed at high speed for a wide range of search hypotheses in a resource efficient manner. This invention allows for parallel use of the matched filter structure in a time-sliced manner to search multiple windows. In addition, the searcher allows for optional independent Walsh decovering for each search window. The time-sharing approach allows for optional frequency searching of any offset.

The present invention is a novel and improved technique for decoding with particular application to turbo, or iterative, coding techniques. In accordance with one embodiment of the invention a system for decoding includes a channel deinterleaver RAM for storing a block of symbol estimates and for reading out at least three different portions of said block in substantially simultaneous fashion. A set of 3 state metric calculators receives the three portion in a substantially simultanous fashion and generate corresponding sets of state metric calculations from said three portions of the channel deinterleaver block.

A direct downconversion receiver architecture having a DC loop to remove DC offset from the signal components, a digital variable gain amplifier (DVGA) to provide a range of gains, an automatic gain control (AGC) loop to provide gain control for the DVGA and RF/analog circuitry, and a serial bus interface (SBI) unit to provide controls for the RF/analog circuitry via a serial bus. The DVGA may be advantageously designed and located as described herein. The operating mode of the VGA loop may be selected based on the operating mode of the DC loop, since these two loops interact with one another. The duration of time the DC loop is operated in an acquisition mode may be selected to be inversely proportional to the DC loop bandwidth in the acquisition mode. The controls for some or all of the RF/analog circuitry may be provided via the serial bus.

Disclosed are methods and apparatus for sampling rate conversion in a wireless transceiver. The methods and apparatus achieve agile setting of sampling rates or resampling by adaptively setting a sampling rate of a signal based on at least one performance requirement of the transceiver. In particular, the methods and apparatus perform sampling of an input signal at a first sampling rate to gain one or more input signal samples. The input signal samples are then filtered using parallel or polyphase filtering operating at a second sampling rate lower than the first sampling rate. The filtered samples are then interpolated at the second sampling rate to achieve resampling of the input signal. Polyphase filtering affords an effectively high input sampling rate for good spectrum image rejection, while allowing the second sampling rate to be effectively much lower than the first rate, thereby reducing the complexity of multiplier operations for interpolation.

This disclosure describes equalization techniques for spread spectrum wireless communication. The techniques may involve estimating a channel impulse response, estimating channel variance, and selecting filter coefficients for an equalizer based on the estimated channel impulse response and the estimated channel variance. Moreover, in accordance with this disclosure, the channel variance estimation involves estimation of two or more co-variances for different received samples. Importantly, the equalizer is “fractionally spaced,” which means that the equalizer defines fractional filtering coefficients (filter taps), unlike conventional equalizers that presume that filter coefficients are defined at integer chip spacing. The techniques can allow the equalizer to account for antenna diversity, such as receive diversity, transmit diversity, or possibly both.

Techniques for recovering a desired transmission in the presence of interfering transmissions are described. For iterative detection and cancellation, multiple groups of code channels are formed for a plurality of code channels for at least one sector. Processing is performed for the multiple groups of code channels in multiple iterations. For each iteration, data detection and signal cancellation are performed for the multiple groups of code channels in multiple stages, e.g., in a sequential order starting with the strongest group to the weakest group. Each stage of each iteration may perform data detection, signal reconstruction, and signal cancellation. Each stage of each iteration may also perform equalization, data detection, signal reconstruction, and signal cancellation.

A method and apparatus for reduced acquisition time are disclosed. In one embodiment, such as in a W-CDMA system, a receiver receives one or more signals from remote stations, each signal comprising a scrambling code associated with one of a plurality of code groups, each code group identified by a unique series of a synchronization codes. A searcher identifies a subset of first synchronization codes, and a processor selects one or more hypotheses in response to the received subset. The searcher may then perform searching for a scrambling code in accordance with the one or more hypotheses. The scrambling code search may be performed in parallel with continued synchronization code searching. Various other embodiments are also disclosed.

A method for interference reduction is described. The method is implemented in a wireless device. It is determined that a page is going to be received via a secondary receiver. It is also determined that a digital-to-analog converter (DAC) image from a transmitter will cause interference with the secondary receiver when the page is received. A sampling frequency of the DAC for the transmitter is changed so that there are not any DAC images from the transmitter that will cause interference with the secondary receiver.
