    摘要: Teachings presented herein combine the relative simplicity of equalization with the performance of maximum likelihood (ML) processing. These teachings are applied to the detection of symbols in a stream of symbol blocks. In one or more embodiments, block-based equalization, including feedforward filtering, suppresses inter-block interference and produces detection statistics for the symbols in each symbol block, and joint detection addresses intra-block interference by jointly detecting the most likely combination of symbols within each symbol block, based on the corresponding detection statistics. The joint detection obviates the need to address intra-block interference within the equalization filters, while, at the same time, the block-based equalization produces detection statistics for each symbol block thereby simplifying the joint detection process. Overall complexity is less than would be needed for full MLSE processing of the symbol blocks without equalization preprocessing, while performance is close to or on par with full MLSE processing.

    摘要: An SIR estimate of a communication signal in a wireless communication system receiver is calculated based on soft bit values output by a nonlinear detector. The average amplitude of the detector output soft bits is estimated. The average power of the detector output soft bits is estimated, e.g., as a mean-square or variance. An SIR of the communication signal is estimated based on the soft bit amplitude and power estimates. In particular, the SIR is estimated as the ratio of the square of soft bit amplitude to the difference between the mean square soft bit power and the square of soft bit amplitude, or the ratio of the square of soft bit amplitude to the variance. In either case, the SIR estimate may be scaled to obtain the desired units. The communication signal may be a received signal, or a simulated signal generated using channel estimates obtained from, e.g., a pilot channel.

    摘要: As taught herein channelization code power estimates are generated for a number of data channels in a received CDMA signal based on a joint determination process. Joint processing in this context yields improved estimation of data channel code powers and corresponding estimations of noise variance. These improvements arise from exploitation of joint processing of measured data value correlations across two or more data channel codes represented in the received signal. In one or more embodiments, joint determination of data channel code powers comprises forming a correlation matrix as a weighted average of correlations determined for a plurality of data channels. In one or more other embodiments, joint determination of data channel code powers comprises jointly fitting the correlation matrices for a plurality of data channels in a least squares error estimation process.

    摘要: Processing in a baseband processor is improved by estimating channelization code powers when processing received signals and reducing at least one of interference and noise power from the code power estimates. According to one embodiment of a wireless communication device such as a mobile phone or Local Area Network (LAN) adapter, the device comprises circuitry configured to receive a composite signal having contributions from a signal of interest and one or more interfering signals and a baseband processor. The baseband processor is configured to estimate channelization code powers for a channelization code associated with the signal of interest and one or more channelization codes associated with the one or more interfering signals. The baseband processor is also configured to reduce at least one of interference and noise power from the channelization code power estimates.

    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: A system and method for adapting a broadcast service in a cellular communication network. A base station receives indications of channel quality from registered users of the broadcast service, and adapts broadcast transmission parameters to improve channel quality for the broadcast users if at least one of the broadcast users indicates that channel quality needs to be improved. If none of the broadcast users indicates that channel quality needs to be improved, the base station adapts the transmission parameters to decrease channel quality for the broadcast users. The transmission parameters may be adapted by techniques such as changing the broadcast transmit power, changing the level of FEC encoding and modulation, changing the number of channel resources allocated, or changing the transmission data rate for the broadcast service. When multiple base stations transmit the broadcast information, a base station controller may minimize network resource utilization by coordinating adaptation control among the base stations.
