    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: A method and apparatus for reducing the complexity of waveform correlation computations used by a multicode receiver is described herein. One exemplary multicode receiver includes a despreading unit, channel estimator, and waveform correlation calculator. The despreading unit despreads a received multicode signal to generate despread symbols. The channel estimator estimates channel coefficients associated with the despread symbols. The waveform correlation calculator determines waveform correlations between the transmitted symbols in successive processing windows that span two or more symbol periods and that overlap in time. To reduce the computational complexity associated with computing waveform correlations, the calculator may reuse channel coefficients and/or net channel correlations for multiple symbol periods and/or processing windows. The calculator may also reduce complexity by reusing one or more waveform correlations from a previous processing window as waveform correlations for one or more subsequent processing windows and/or by exploiting the Hermitian symmetry of the waveform correlation matrix.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for generating channel quality information, such as may be used for transmit link adaptation, provide different operating modes, such as a first mode that may be used when propagation channel estimates are not reliable, and a second mode that may be used when the propagation channel estimates are reliable. In one or more embodiments, channel quality information is generated using receiver performance information that characterizes receiver performance in terms of a defined channel quality metric, e.g., supported data rates, for different values of receiver input signal quality over a range of propagation channel realizations. Channel quality information can be generated by selecting channel quality metrics according to receiver input signal quality and a desired probability of meeting a defined performance requirement over a range of propagation channel realizations, or by selecting channel quality metrics according to receiver input signal quality and particularized propagation channel realizations.

    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.
