摘要:
A system and method for communicating information signals using spread spectrum communication techniques. PN sequences are constructed that provide orthogonality between the users so that mutual interference will be reduced, allowing higher capacity and better link performance. With orthogonal PN codes, the cross-correlation is zero over a predetermined time interval, resulting in no interference between the orthogonal codes, provided only that the code time frames are time aligned with each other. In an exemplary embodiment, signals are communicated between a cell-site and mobile units using direct sequence spread spectrum communication signals. In the cell-to-mobile link, pilot, sync, paging and voice channels are defined. Information communicated on the cell-to-mobile link channels are, in general, encoded, interleaved, bi-phase shift key (BPSK) modulated with orthogonal covering of each BPSK symbol along with quadrature phase shift key (QPSK) spreading of the covered symbols. In the mobile-to-cell link, access and voice channels are defined. Information communicated on the mobile-to-cell link channels are, in general, encoded, interleaved, orthogonal signaling along with QPSK spreading.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for mitigating multipath interference in a digital signal correlator forms values representative of magnitude or power of a correlation response between a digital signal and a pseudorandom reference code. The earliest peak in the correlation response is then selected as the correct peak to compute a time delay.

In general, the invention facilitates searching for energy peaks in spread spectrum wireless communication systems with greater precision. More particularly, various embodiments of the invention may involve reporting not only an energy peak and its associated offset, but also the energy levels corresponding to one or more offsets occurring before and after the offset at which the energy peak occurs. Interpolation or extrapolation techniques may be used to predict the actual location of an energy peak based on the apparent location of the peak and the energy levels observed at surrounding offsets.

An over-sampling circuit is provided at a front stage of a digital matched filter, and a received signal is over-sampled with it. Synchronous acquisition of the received spread spectrum signal is implemented by adding the data obtained by the over-sampling, inputting it into the digital matched filter, and then performing a correlation thereon.

A method and apparatus of assigning fingers in a rake receiver for incorporation in a receiver of a CDMA communications system is disclosed herein. The method includes measuring the multipath profile of a received spread-spectrum radio-frequency (RF) signal to obtain a sequence of measurements, identifying the best candidate path of the RF signal to demodulate by determining which measurement within the sequence has the highest signal strength, deriving a timing offset for the best candidate path as a function of the measurement for the best candidate path and its adjacent measurements, and assigning a finger processing element to the best candidate path using the derived timing offset. The measurements are taken using a searcher having a predetermined timing resolution (e.g., ½ chip), and the resolution of the timing offset is higher (e.g., ⅛ chip). The best candidate path to demodulate is identified using the measurement having the highest amplitude or correlation function. The function used to derive the timing offset is a quadratic passing through the measurement for the best candidate path and adjacent measurements. A correction factor can be applied to the estimated timing offset to correct for non-quadratic multipath profiles. The assignment can be made for an available finger, or a finger can be re-assigned where the best candidate path is better than a path currently being demodulated. This approach can also be used to update and instantaneously adjust the timing of fingers to track on-time samples of the received multipaths during operation of the rake receiver.

摘要:
A synchronizing method and circuit accurately and stably operates a direct spread spectrum multiple access communication system. A signal transmitted by modulating the spreading code with data at the transmission side is sampled by a signal of n times (n: 1 or larger integer) the clock speed of the spread spectrum signal at the reception side, and the correlation is detected by a digital matched filter. Consequently, the detection output in every sample in the symbol period is compared with the envelope detection output determined in every sampling period, and the sample positions for a specific number of determined samples are stored in the descending order of the output. The number of times of storage of large sample positions in the stored detection output is counted in every symbol period, and the position of the largest number of storage times is detected as the peak position. From this peak position, capturing or holding the symbol period, and setting of the reception window position results.
