    摘要: A reduced search symbol estimation algorithm includes a forward recursion, a backward recursion, and a combining step. To reduce complexity, during the forward and backward recursions, the number of survivor states retained at each stage is less than the total number of states of the trellis. The survivor states are selected from a group of candidate states, that are connected by branches to survivors from the previous stage of the recursion. The decoder compares the accumulated path metrics for each candidate state and retains a specified number of states that is less than the total possible number of states. For the forward recursion, the retained states or survivor states, denoted as Qk, are stored along with the corresponding state metrics. For the backward recursion, the retained states, denoted as Rk, are stored along with the corresponding state metrics. During the combining step, the computation of a soft value is restricted to branches (s′,s) connecting survivor states s′ and s in the forward and backward recursions respectively.

    摘要: Digital communication systems and methods combine block encoding and differential and/or amplitude modulation. For every codeword period, one or more additional bits can be transmitted by applying differential modulation and/or amplitude modulation to the codewords. In differential modulation, additional information may be sent by flipping or not flipping the sign of a codeword. In amplitude modulation, additional information may be sent by changing the amplitude of successive codewords. A combination of differential and amplitude encoding may also be used. Thus, the data rate can be increased without increasing the symbol transmission rate.

    摘要: A digital information bit that has been encoded and transmitted as a first modulated signal from a first transmitter in the presence of a second modulated signal that has been transmitted by a second transmitter is received and decoded by receiving a composite signal that is a sum of the first modulated signal and the second modulated signal. The composite signal is processed to generate a complex numerical sample. Then, a plurality of bit pairs are hypothesized, wherein each hypothesized bit pair includes a hypothesized first information bit encoded and transmitted by the first transmitter and a hypothesized second information bit encoded and transmitted by the second transmitter. For each of the plurality of hypothesized bit pairs, a path metric is generated that is indicative of a likelihood that information sequence estimates are accurate estimates, wherein the information sequence estimates include the hypothesized first and second information bits. For each of the plurality of hypothesized bit pairs, the generated path metric is added to a previously determined cumulative path metric to generate a most recent cumulative path metric. An information sequence estimate is selected that has a lowest most recent cumulative path metric, wherein the selected information sequence estimate includes an information sequence estimated to have been encoded and transmitted by the first transmitter and an information sequence estimated to have been encoded and transmitted by the second transmitter.

    摘要: Methods and systems for receiving signals in spread spectrum communications are described. In CDMA systems, for example, signature sequences used to generate correlations with received signals may not have ideal autocorrelation properties. In such cases, the correlations determined by the receiver may include errors which are propagated through channel tap estimates to the demodulated and decoded information symbols. To reduce or eliminate such self-interference or inter-ray interference, the correlations are decorrelated by, for example, matrix multiplying them with values related to values of the autocorrelation function for the signature sequence of interest.
