摘要:
This inventions provides techniques for estimating both temporal and spectral channel fluctuations with the duration of a data symbol. Certain pulse shaping functions are Discrete Prolate Spheroidal Sequences (DPSSs) and are used primarily because of their relatively limited Inter-Symbol Interference (ISI) properties. During reception, these properties allow one or more parameters of a joint time-frequency channel model to be more easily determined. Once the one or more parameters are determined, they can be applied to received symbols to correct the temporal fluctuations, spectral fluctuations, or both of the channel over which a communication took place. The techniques may be adapted for the Multiple-In, Multiple-Out communication situation.

Techniques for reducing or eliminating effects of noise on a wireless communication system are provided. In one aspect of the invention, the technique comprises monitoring noise attributable to an interference source that may affect one or more components of the wireless communication system. The interference source being monitored is distant from the wireless communication system to the degree that noise arrives at the wireless communication system within a substantially point source-like angular range. For example, the noise may be attributable to the sun or tropospheric ducting. The technique then comprises initiating one or more operations, as a function of the monitored noise, to reduce or eliminate the effects of the noise attributable to the distant interference source at one or more of the components of the wireless communication system that are determined to be affected by such noise.

Apparatus for generating the family of PSK (phase shift keyed) modulations, which include BPSK (binary PSK), QPSK (quaternary PSK), MSK (minimum shift keying) and the like. The carrier is generated with the desired digital information already phase-modulated onto it by directly introducing a phase shift or delay onto the error path of a phase-locked loop. causing the phase-locked loop to create the phase modulation. The [proposed scheme differs from common practice approaches, which are usually implemented by linear synthesis (an AM technique); rather, it] invention employs direct nonlinear synthesis (an FM technique). The invention [yields good phase precision with arbitrary spectral shaping under the constraint of constant envelope signaling. It] permits the connection of the output of a simple, inexpensive VCO (voltage controlled oscillator) directly to a system's antenna without the need for intervening circuit elements such as phase splitters, mixers, and the like which is applicable to [. The resulting minimal implementation will lend itself well to] the power, size and cost constraints of a microminiature radio transmitter as might be required, for example, for the up-link of a wrist-phone style communicator.
摘要:
Received data signals in digital form are sampled a plurality of times during each bit interval and weighted to enhance the statistical effect of a predetermined intermediate amplitude range prior to accumulation over a bit time to obtain an initial average indication of bit value. Plural repetitions of the same bit received at different times are similarly processed and the averages weighted according to received signal strength at the time of reception. Then the weighted averages are accumulated in a two's complement arithmetic fashion so that the accumulation sign bit binary signal state indicates the binary value of the bit. In one embodiment, the initially derived multiple samples of each bit are converted to in-phase and quadrature-phase versions prior to the sample accumulation step; and the separate accumulations of each version are utilized to obtain an arctangent value for adjusting the phase of a local clock to that of the received data.

A programmable oscillation counter (10) is initially synchronized by presetting the counter to a predetermined correct phase condition by applying thereto a single digital signal set representing the magnitude of the phase correction to be applied. Subsequent tracking of the correct phase condition is accomplished by utilizing additional two's-complement digital signal sets from time to time to preset an incremental counter (11) to a level which indicates the extent of phase error. The latter counter is controlled to reduce the error by altering the phase of the oscillation counter operation by one step at a time each time the oscillation counter cycles through a predetermined phase of its operation and until the incremental counter has counted down its preset phase error magnitude to zero.

The present invention provides a method and apparatus for detecting control signal information for an element of a communication system. The control signal information is included in one or more segments of a signal communicated over a communication system channel. The invention provides for the application of a plurality of tapers to a segment of a communicated signal; the transformation of a tapered segment; the determination of a similarity score based on a transform of a tapered segment and a model of a control signal; the identification of control signal information based on a similarity score; and the creation of an indicator signal representative of the identified control signal information to the communication system element. The control signal information may comprise a dual-tone multi-frequency signal. The tapers may comprise a discrete prolate spheroidal sequence. A similarity score may be determined based on a ratio of energy distributions. The numerator of the ratio may comprise an energy distribution based on a control signal model, and the denominator of the ratio may comprise an energy distribution based on a difference between a transformed tapered segment and the control signal model.

Supervisory audio tones received from a mobile telephone unit are converted from analog to digital form. The tone is then converted to a complex number by bifurcating the tone path and multiplying one path by a sine function and the other path by a cosine function. The complex numbers are accumulated and the frequencies where significant power exists is found using the discrete Fourier transform. If the power at an assigned frequency exceeds a threshold, the corresponding supervisory audio tone is declared to have been detected.

To stabilize the phase of bit rate clock signals recovered from a self-clocking data signal, e.g., a Manchester coded signal, extra signal level transition pulses (58) occurring during intervals of successive bits of the same info bit type are inverted (59) to reinforce the desired phase of the bit-rate frequency component.
