Coded digital data symbols sent from a transmitter through a transmission channel of a communications network are received in a receiver. An estimate, represented by a first number of bits, of a sent data symbol is calculated, and a second number of bits, lower than the first number, is selected from the estimate to achieve a rounded estimate represented by the second number of bits. The rounded estimate is decoded to achieve a decoded data symbol. A target value for a block error rate of the transmission channel is received from the network; and the second number of bits is selected in dependence on the target block error rate value. Thus an optimal rounded estimate is provided in most situations, and the method can be performed with the limited computational resources of a terminal.

A method and apparatus increase a maximum available bit rate on a single data link, in order to gain capacity within single cells. An orthogonal frequency division multiplex signal is filtered by a pulse shaping operation so as to suppress side lobes of the signal. This pulse shaping introduces known inter symbol interference (ISI) and loses orthogonality between subcarriers. However, a receiver utilizes the idea of overcoming ISI by applying equalization to the signal such that the loss of orthogonality is overcome.

A searcher uses an input signal, and for example, a matched filter to generate a first set of candidate paths. A selector uses the input signal and the first set of candidate paths to generate a second set of paths. The second set of paths is used to configure the fingers of a RAKE receiver. According to one aspect of the invention, the first set of candidate paths contains M paths, and the second stage uses M correlators to generate a set of M correlation values. The second stage uses the M correlation values to select N paths that are used to configure the N fingers of the RAKE receiver. According to another aspect of the invention, the first set of candidate paths contains M paths, and the second stage uses a multiple of M correlators to track the M paths and generate a set of M estimates. The second stage uses the M estimates to select N paths that are used to configure the N fingers of the RAKE receiver. According to another aspect of the invention, the selector can generate new sets of N paths while the searcher is either active or inactive. The receiver can use a quality signal or a counter to notify the searcher and/or the selector to generate new sets of paths. The selector decreases the need to continuously run the matched filter. The receiver can re-configure the fingers without having to search for new paths. The receiver can also find paths that are uncorrelated and less susceptible to fading.
摘要:
A method of a mobile radio system for synchronization a transmitter and receiver. The system relates to MC/DS-CDMA-system. In the system information is transmitted digitally in frames. For that purpose a data channel, a pilot channel and a synchronization channel are created. In the data channel the data blocks D0, D1, D2 etc are separated by a guard space .DELTA.. In the pilot channel, respective the synchronization channel, the information is arranged in blocks which are synchronous with each other. The repeating distance, A, of the pilot channel, corresponds to the length of one of the data blocks D0, D1, D2 etc. The repeating distance for the synchronization channel is S, corresponding to a number of blocks in the data channel. In the synchronization channel information is introduced into the blocks which indicates their relation to the data channel. The method in this way allows an identification of the position of the pilot channel, which indicates the position of the synchronization channel, at which a decoding of the information of the the synchronization channel appoints the position of the data channel.

摘要:
A method for synchronizing measurements in a mobile communication apparatus having a first active radio access means (100) adapted to communicate according to a first radio access technology (RAT) and at least a second passive radio access means (200) adapted to communicate according to a second RAT. A time reference common to the first and the second access means (100) is generated. At least one time schedule is obtained, said schedule indicating at least one time gap wherein the second access means (200) is allowed to be active. The activation time of the schedule is based on the common time reference. An arrangement adapted to generate the common time reference and the time schedule is also disclosed.
摘要:
The uplink transmission timing from a mobile communications device is defined with reference to the downlink reception timing of signals from a particular reference cell. When that reference cell is removed from the active set, there is defined a virtual reference cell, the timing of which is defined with reference to one or more of the cells remaining in the active set, such that the timing of this new virtual reference cell corresponds to the timing of the previous reference cell. The timing of the uplink transmission from the user equipment are then defined with reference to the new virtual reference cell, in the conventional way. This has the advantage that, following a soft handover, it is not necessary to adjust the timing of uplink transmissions from the user equipment.
