    摘要: A communications signal representing symbols encoded according to respective portions of a spreading sequence is decoded. Time-offset correlations of the communications signal with the spreading sequence are generated. The time-offset correlations are combined to generate first estimates for the symbols. Intersymbol interference factors that include a relationship among different portions of the spreading sequence are determined, and a second estimate for one of the symbols is generated from the first estimates based on the determined intersymbol interference factors. An intersymbol interference factor may include a relationship between a first portion of the spreading sequence associated with the one symbol to a second portion of the spreading sequence associated with another symbol and may be determined, for example, from the spreading sequence and a channel estimate for a channel over which the communications signal is communicated. The invention may be embodied as methods and apparatus, for example, as a receiver included in a communications apparatus, such as a wireless terminal, wireless base station, or other wireless, wireline or optical communications apparatus.

    摘要: Information encoded in a spread spectrum signal transmitted in a communications medium is recovered. A composite signal including a spread spectrum signal is received from the communications medium, and correlated with a spreading sequence to generate time-offset correlations. Respective first and second groups of the correlations are combined, e.g., according to estimated channel coefficients, to produce respective first and second combined values. The first and second combined values are then combined in a manner that compensates for correlated impairment in the composite signal to generate an estimate information in the transmitted spread spectrum signal, e.g., using weighting factors generated from an estimated composite channel response and an estimated impairment correlation, or adaptively generated weighting factors. Related apparatus are also described.

    摘要: A system searches for a cell and determines a frequency error estimate in a communications network. The system generates a slot boundary candidate. The system identifies a scrambling code group using the slot boundary list, identifies a scrambling code from the scrambling code group, and determines a frequency error estimate using the identified scrambling code. The system also determines a detection metric, compares the detection metric to a predetermined threshold, and selects the frequency error estimate when the detection metric is greater than the predetermined threshold.

    摘要: A received communications signal is correlated with a common synchronization code to produce a synchronization detection signal. A component of the synchronization detection signal associated with a known synchronization signal is canceled from the synchronization detection signal to produce an interference-canceled synchronization detection signal. Timing of a synchronization signal is determined from the interference-canceled synchronization detection signal. According to one aspect, interference cancellation is achieved by generating a correlation of an estimated received known synchronization signal with the common synchronization code, canceling the correlation of the estimated received known synchronization signal with the common synchronization code from the synchronization detection signal to produce the interference-canceled synchronization detection signal. Timing of a synchronization signal may then be determined by accumulating the interference-canceled synchronization detection signal over a time interval, detecting a peak in the accumulated interference-canceled synchronization detection signal, and determining timing of a synchronization signal from the detected peak. According to another aspect, interference cancellation is achieved by accumulating the synchronization detection signal over a time interval, identifying a peak in the accumulated synchronization detection signal not associated with a known synchronization signal, and determining timing of a synchronization signal from the identified peak. Related terminal apparatus are also discussed.

    摘要: Teachings presented herein offer reduced computational complexity for detecting a plurality of symbol blocks, even for symbol blocks that comprise the combination of a relatively large number of symbols. The teachings perform two or more stages of detection assistance to successively reduce the number of candidate combinations of symbols to be considered for a symbol block when detecting the plurality of symbol blocks. In particular, the teachings identify a reduced set of candidate symbol combinations for at least one symbol block in the plurality of symbol blocks, and then jointly detect each of one or more distinct groups of symbols in the symbol block to determine from that reduced set a final reduced set of candidate symbol combinations. Detection of the plurality of symbol blocks limits the candidate combinations of symbols considered for a symbol block to the final reduced set of candidate symbol combinations identified for that symbol block.

    摘要: A system and method to more efficiently compute updated Frequency Domain (FD) Minimum Mean Squared Error (MMSE) equalization weights in a multi-stage Parallel Interference Cancellation (PIC) receiver after initial interference cancellation. The updated equalization weights (which are to be used during re-equalization) can be obtained using the old equalization weights already computed for initial interference cancellation. There is no need to invert an nR by nR matrix (where nR is the number of receive antennas) at each stage of the PIC receiver during each iteration of equalization and decoding operations. Rather, the matrix to be inverted to obtain updated equalization weights may be of the dimension n×n (where “n” equals the total number of transmission layers in a transmission scheme used in the wireless network). This significantly reduces complexity of determining updated equalization weights during FD MMSE equalization, thereby saving computational resources in a digital receiver performing such equalization.

    摘要: In MU-MIMO scenarios, a target mobile terminal can be exposed to data streams intended for other mobile terminals. If the target mobile terminal is capable of interference cancellation, then a serving base station can provide the target mobile terminal with interference information so that the target mobile terminal can efficiently cancel interferences due to these interfering data streams. The interference information includes one or more configuration information, each of which characterizes a related interfering data stream. The serving base station provides the interference information over one or more radio resources that are exclusive allocated to the target mobile terminal or are allocated for common listening. The serving base station exchanges configuration information with neighboring base stations over inter-BS links. The inter-BS links use resources that are different from the radio resources used between the base stations and the mobile terminals.
