摘要:
A set of different pilot structures are designed for use in different environments and/or different user behaviours that are expected to occur in a cell. The radio conditions for a user are estimated. Each user is then assigned an area (108A-E) in resource space for its communication, which has a suitable pilot configuration. In one embodiment, the entire resource space is provided with different pilot structures in different parts (110A-D) In advance and allocation of resources to the users are then performed in order to match estimated radio conditions to the provided pilot structure. In another embodiment, allocation is performed first, and then the actual pilot structure is adapted within the allocated resource space area to suit the environmental conditions.

The present invention provides a search window delay tracking procedure for use in a multipath search processor of a CDMA radio receiver. A channel impulse responses is estimated for a received signal containing plural paths, each path having a corresponding path delay. A search window defines a delay profile that contains the plural paths of the received signal. A mean or average delay is calculated for the estimated channel impulse response (CIR), and an error is determined between the mean CIR delay and a desired delay position corresponding to the center of the CIR search window. An adjustment is made to reduce that error so that the center of the search window and the mean CIR delay are aligned. The error may be processed either linearly (in one embodiment) or non-linearly (in another embodiment) to minimize the error and to reduce an influence of noise. A non-linear filtering process includes calculating a delay spread from the mean CIR delay calculated for successive processing cycles of a window delay tracking procedure corresponding to each new input. A difference is determined between the successive delay spreads. Adjustment signal is set equal to the error signal if the difference is less than or equal to a threshold. Alternatively, the adjustment signal is set to zero if the difference is greater than the threshold. Consequently, if the delay spread in the current iteration is significantly different from the delay spread in the previous iteration, the new error sample calculated in the current iteration is considered unreliable, and no adjustment is made.

Radio resources are allocated to communication between a mobile station and a base station. The available set of radio resources may comprise radio resources primarily assigned to a neighboring cell if the 5 mobile station experience an instantaneous low level of co-channel interference from such neighboring cells. The existence of interference is preferably deduced from signal quality measurements of pilot signals. The allocation may concern uplink and/or downlink communication. Devices for performing the measurements are located in the mobile station, while devices for performing the evaluation, selection and actual allocation can be placed in different parts of the communications system—in the mobile station, in a base station or in a core network node, or as a distributed means.

Incoming signals in a receiver for Direct Sequence Code Division Multiple Access systems are despread using Offset-QPSK spreading as the transmitting spreading format combined with arbitrary data modulation formats, such as BPSK and QPSK. The receiver has a pseudonoise (PN) generator for generating a unique PN sequence signal. The PN sequence signal is divided into a real and an imaginary component. The complex input signal is divided into inphase and quadrature components. The inphase and the quadrature components of the input signal are downsampled to provide either two complex samples per chip period or one complex sample per chip period. In the latter case, the downsampling instants are delayed by a quarter of a chip period. Each downsampled complex signal is correlated with the corresponding segment of the complex PN sequence signal of the receiver. In the case where two samples per chip are provided after downsampling, the correlation values obtained for odd and even complex samples of the downsampled input signal are summed.

A system and method for detecting and selecting peaks in a delay power profile (DPP) signal. An adaptive threshold is used to determine valid paths in the DPP signal. The adaptive threshold is determined by measuring the signal-to-noise ratio of the DPP signal, and setting the threshold to minimize non-detections and false alarms in path estimation. To determine the signal-to-noise ratio, the system uses an iterative process wherein a raw estimate and an improved estimate are made of the noise.
