    Abstract: When more than two layers are multiplexed in one CDM group, length-4 OCC has to be used across both clusters in one subframe. This means that slot-by-slot channel estimation according to conventional schemes cannot be exploited and Doppler impact cannot be well overcome. By introducing virtual variables and virtual channel samples that are used in processing two time slots in a subframe independently and applying a frequency domain filter based on the virtual variables and then performing postprocessing based on virtual channel samples, slot-by-slot processing is possible to reduce latency and overcome Doppler impact. Code de-spreading of length-4 OCC is no longer processed in time domain, but in frequency domain with two adjacent CDM subgroups. As a result, the frequency domain filtering can start earlier whereby detection latency and processing time for OCC of length longer than 2 is reduced. It can also be used for the length-2 OCC.

    Abstract: The present invention includes a method and apparatus for autonomously determining by a first UE the identities (IDs) of one or more other UEs that are operating in or around the same network area as the first UE. More particularly, the first UE determines with a defined reliability the UE ID of an otherwise unknown UE based on receiving and processing an HS-SCCH transmission targeted to the unknown UE. By learning actual UE IDs for one or more other UEs operating in or around the same area as the first UE, the first UE can then properly decode HS-SCCH transmissions to those other UEs, and thereby gain knowledge of the signal structures used for data (HS-PDCH) transmissions to those other UEs. Advantageously, the first UE applies such knowledge in its desired-signal receiver processing, such as for enhancing channel estimation and/or performing structured-signal interference cancellation.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for processing a received multi-stream (MIMO) signal, and in particular for estimating a per-code traffic-channel-to-pilot power ratio for the MIMO signal are disclosed. An exemplary method includes the calculation of an average symbol amplitude or average symbol power level from a plurality of de-spread traffic channel symbols received in a first transmission slot and the estimation of a corresponding pilot symbol amplitude or pilot symbol power level, based on an estimated propagation channel response and at least one of a plurality of precoding vectors used to generate the MIMO signal. A per-code traffic-channel-to-pilot power ratio for the first transmission slot is computed by dividing the average symbol amplitude or average symbol power level by the corresponding pilot symbol amplitude or pilot symbol power level.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus provide for setting processing delay assignments in a CDMA receiver using a flat-channel placement or using a dispersive channel placement, in dependence on characterizing the channel as flat or dispersive. For example, a receiver maintains a logical flag reliably indicating the current channel state as flat or dispersive, and assigns or otherwise sets processing delays—e.g., for received signal demodulation—using a flat-channel placement algorithm or a dispersive-channel placement algorithm. The “flat-channel” placement algorithm generally provides better performance in flat-channel environments, and the “dispersive-channel” placement algorithm generally provides better performance in dispersive channel environments. Such processing may be regarded as “activating” a simplified processing delay placement grid that offers better performance if the channel truly is flat, with the underlying advantage of providing a reliable mechanism for detecting flat channel conditions.

    Abstract: The impairment processor described herein uses a look-up table operation to reduce the computational complexity associated with determining an impairment correlation between first and second sample streams for an interference rejection receiver. One exemplary impairment processor iteratively computes multiple partial impairment correlations based on values selected from look-up table(s), and combines the partial impairment correlations to obtain a final impairment correlation between the first and second sample streams. During each iteration, the impairment processor computes a pair of delay offsets corresponding to the respective processing and path delays of the first and second sample streams, computes an index value as a function of a difference between the pair of delay offsets, selects a pre-computed value from the look-up table based on the index value, determines a pulse correlation estimate based on the selected pre-computed value, and determines the partial impairment correlation for that iteration based on the pulse correlation estimate.

    Abstract: A receiver and method for receiving and processing a sequence of transmitted symbols in a digital communication system utilizing soft pilot symbols. A set of soft pilot symbols are transmitted with higher reliability than the remaining symbols in the sequence by modulating the soft pilot symbols with a lower order modulation such as BPSK or QPSK while modulating the remaining symbols with a higher order modulation such as 16QAM or 64QAM. The receiver knows the modulation type and location (time/frequency/code) of the soft pilot symbols, and demodulates them first. The receiver uses the demodulated soft pilot symbols as known symbols to estimate parameters of the received radio signal. Unlike traditional fixed pilots, the soft pilots still carry some data. Additionally, the soft pilots are particularly helpful in establishing the amplitude reference essential in demodulating the higher order modulation symbols.

    Abstract: A mobile receiver having a multi-mode interference suppression function and a way to estimate its speed utilizes a parametric approach to interference suppression at high speeds, and a nonparametric approach at low speeds. In particular, if the mobile receiver is currently operating in a nonparametric mode and its speed exceeds a first predetermined threshold, the mobile receiver switches to a parametric mode. Conversely, if the mobile receiver is currently in parametric mode and its speed is less than a second predetermined threshold, the mobile receiver switches to nonparametric mode. In one embodiment, the speed may be estimated by a Doppler frequency in the received signal, and the thresholds are Doppler frequencies. In one embodiment, the first and second thresholds are different, creating a hysteresis in the mode switching.

    Abstract: A network unit of an own cell is operated in a radio communication system utilizing a radio interface that includes a radio frame made up of a number of sub-frames. The own cell serves one or more user equipments. Operation includes obtaining information about a scheduling of MBSFN data transmissions in one or more neighboring cells. The information thereby obtained is used to generate an information signal that, for a given sub-frame, enables the one or more user equipments to determine whether neighboring cell measurements can be performed using a unicast group of Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple access (OFDM) symbols. The information signal is transmitted to the one or more user equipments, which can then use the information to determine how to locate cell-specific reference symbols when doing measurements of neighboring cells.
