    摘要: A modified RAKE receiver, referred to as a WRAKE receiver, is used in CDMA communications. It is particularly adaptable to a subtractive CDMA system. The receiver includes a radio receiver for receiving and demodulating a composite signal of overlapping transmitted signals (spread signals), a sampler to sample the received signals, a selector for selecting different groups of samples, a correlator for correlating the samples with known despreading codes and a comparator to determine the symbol transmitted. The receiver also includes a combiner which combines either different groups of samples together or combines different correlation values together. The sample groups selected are channel independent and combine data received from different time shifts. Likewise, the sample groups for each channel and the correlation values are time-of-arrival independent.

    摘要: Teachings presented herein offer the performance advantages of sequence estimation for received signal symbol detection, while simultaneously providing potentially significant reductions in computational overhead. Initial demodulation of a received signal identifies a reduced number of candidate symbol values for all or a subset of a sequence of symbols represented in a received signal. A sequence estimation process, e.g., an MLSE process, constrains its state spaces to the reduced number of candidate symbols values, rather than considering all possible symbol values.

    摘要: The teachings presented herein improve the processing of individual signals of interest included in a received composite signal by computing combining weights and/or signal quality estimates for each signal of interest, e.g., for linear equalization, based on either shared or non-shared correlation estimates. As a non-limiting advantage, the use of shared correlation estimates reduces computational loading as compared to the processing load that would be needed for computing non-shared correlation estimates for all signals of interest. As a further non-limiting advantage, the conditional use of shared and non-shared correlation estimates provides for the use of non-shared correlation estimates where signal characteristic(s) of one or more of the signals of interest warrant such usage, e.g., for one or more high-rate signals of interest.

    摘要: According to the teachings presented herein, a method and apparatus for communication signal processing advantageously use a mix of parametric and non-parametric correlation estimation in communication signal processing. Non-parametric estimation generates an “overall” correlation estimate for a received communication signal, and parametric estimation generates a “component” correlation estimate. The component correlation estimate is removed from the overall correlation estimate to form a partial correlation estimate that is used to process the received communication signal at least initially, such as in a pre-equalization stage. The overall and component correlation estimates are generated as impairment and/or data correlation estimates.

    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.
