Abstract:
Method for reducing power consumption in Bluetooth and CDMA modes of operation is disclosed. According to a disclosed embodiment, the time for a next scheduled CDMA wakeup process to be performed by a CDMA module is established. Thereafter, if the next CDMA wakeup process is scheduled to be performed before the next Bluetooth wakeup process, a Bluetooth wakeup process is synchronized to be performed by a Bluetooth module at the same time as the next CDMA wakeup process. Following, when the time arrives for the CDMA module to perform the next CDMA wakeup process, the Bluetooth module also performs the Bluetooth wakeup process.
Abstract:
The invention is a method for limiting the peak transmit power in a CDMA communication system including the steps transmitting a first communication signal having a first high transmit power region and transmitting a second communication signal having a second high transmit power region. One of the first and second communication signals is time offset to prevent the first and second high transmit power regions from occurring simultaneously. Time shifting only a portion of one of the first and second communications signals is also taught. The first and second communication signals can also include respective first and second low transmit power regions. The time offset can be selected to align one of the first and second high transmit power regions with one of the first and second low transmit power regions.
Abstract:
A method for providing wireless communication of digital signals is provided, with the digital signals being communicated between wireless subscriber units and a base station. The digital signals are communicated using at least one radio frequency (RF) channel via Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) modulated radio signals defined by orthogonal codes. The method includes making available a plurality of orthogonal subchannels within each CDMA RF channel. Available orthogonal subchannels are allocated on an as-needed basis for subscriber units actively sending data. An idling mode connection is provided on a reverse link for subscriber units which are powered on, but not actively sending data, by assigning a shared orthogonal subchannel to at least two different subscriber units, but utilizing different time slots of the shared orthogonal subchannel.

A time division duplex/code division multiple access user equipment receives a plurality of communication bursts transmitted in a time slot. A midamble code included in a received communication burst is determined. A channelization code of a determined midamble's communication burst is determined. A mapping between channelization codes and midamble codes exists such that each midamble being mapped to at least one channelization code and at least one midamble code being mapped to at least two channelization codes which may be received in communication bursts simultaneously.
Abstract:
Method and system for generating higher order modulations with QPSK modulators. A complex sequence of binary digits is input to QPSK modulators. The binary digits are mapped to constellation points and multiplied with weighting coefficient. Constellation points of higher order modulation are mapped to inputs of the QPSK modulator, and, after modulation QPSK symbols are summed to compose symbols of higher order modulation.
Abstract:
A method of using a user equipment (UE) in a wireless time division duplex communication system. Each communication burst has a unique channelization code and a midamble code which is uniquely related to the channelization code, each such midamble code being uniquely related to one or more channelization code. The UE receives communication bursts and detects each midamble code in a received communication burst. The UE determines the channelization codes related to each detected midamble based on a mapping of midamble codes to related channelization codes. The UE detects channelization codes in the received communication burst from among the determined channelization codes.
Abstract:
Spread spectrum transceivers communicate using code sequences having low cross-correlations and well-peaked autocorrelations. The initial communications involve broadcasting a beacon signal consisting of a beacon packet repeated at regular intervals (the cycle time). The code sequences may be period-(2n−1) Small Kasami sequences; the beacon packet is a repeated series of (2n/2+1) period-(2n/2−1) progenitor maximal sequences, and behaves like a member of the Kasami family. The acyclic autocorrelation of the beacon packet has regularly-spaced sharp peaks modulated by a pyramidal envelope. The initial communications involve calculating the correlation between the received signal and delayed versions of an internally-generated beacon packet. The length of the initial communications is proportional to the square of the cycle time divided by the width of the acyclic autocorrelation. Synchronization involves locating the peak of the pyramidal envelope, and has a length related to the cycle time times the number of peaks in the acyclic autocorrelation.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for controlling a rate of path searching for a channel in a communication system include searching for new path delays and identifying a number of new path delays during a specific time period. The identified number of new path delays are compared to at least one threshold value. The result of the comparison is used to alter the rate of path searching.
Abstract:
A spread spectrum receiver includes a number of rake fingers for receiving a spread spectrum signal. Each rake finger despreads the spread spectrum signal with a despreading code. A rake combiner combines the outputs of the rake fingers. Control circuitry sets despreading codes of a first bit sequence to the rake fingers at respective timing offsets of incremental values so that there exists a timing difference of one chip interval between successive rake fingers. The control circuitry then successively varies the timing offsets in search of a call processing signal. Responsive to an output of the rake combiner indicating that the call processing signal is received, the control circuitry determines its timing offset relative to the refererence, and sets despreading codes of a second bit sequence to the rake fingers at respective timing offsets of the incremental values based on the determined timing offset to receive an information signal. If the receiver loses track of the correct timing of the information signal, the control circuitry successively varies the respective timing offsets of the rake fingers in search of the lost signal.
Abstract:
A synchronization channel detection method for cellular transmission is disclosed. Said method is based on an algorithm that adds coherent components and deriving an average of the components in a synchronization signal that is repetitively transmitted over a short period of time. This method achieves a detection gain as compared to correlation algorithms.
