摘要:
In an illustrative embodiment of the present invention, a reference signal including pilot information is transmitted from a base station to one or multiple field units over a pilot channel. A message is also sent to the field units over a paging channel to indicate an effective radiated power level at which the reference signal is transmitted on the pilot channel. Based on a received power level of the reference signal at a field unit and the effective radiated power level of the reference signal, a forward path loss is estimated at the field unit for the forward link between the base station and field unit. Assuming the path loss in the reverse link is approximately the same as the estimated forward link path loss, the field unit can transmit, a reply message in the reverse link so that the base station generally receives a message at a desired power level.

The performance of a RAKE receiver for indoor multipath WLAN applications on direct sequence spread spectrum signals having relatively short codeword lengths is enhanced by embedding a decision feedback equalizer structure in the signal processing path through the receiver's channel matched filter and codeword correlator. The decision feedback equalizer serves to cancel both inter-codeword interference (ISI) or “bleed-over” between codewords, and intra-codeword chip interference (ICI) or smearing of the energy within the chips of a respective codeword.
摘要:
The performance of a RAKE receiver for indoor multipath WLAN applications on direct sequence spread spectrum signals having relatively short codeword lengths comprises a channel-matched filter and codeword correlator front end, plus a signal combiner to which the codeword correlation component is applied. The signal combiner is supplied with a bias-corrected input calculated by a distorted codeword signature (power) generator, which is operative to generate and store a set of N codeword power correction values. The signal combiner combines correction values into the codeword correlation for each potentially transmitted codeword Sk. This serves to correct each correlation codeword metric by a de-biasing power component |Sk|2 for the unequal multipath-based distortions of the codeword energies. The output of the signal combiner is coupled to a peak detector, which selects a minimum distance-based ‘de-biased’ output as the transmitted codeword.

摘要:
A technique for encoding digital communication signals. Data symbols are augmented in pilot symbols inserted at predetermined positions. The pilot augmented sequence is then fed to a deterministic error correction block encoder, such as a turbo product coder, to output a coded sequence. The symbols in the error correction encoded sequence are then rearranged to ensure that the output symbols derived from input pilot symbols are located at regular, predetermined positions. As a result, channel encoding schemes can more easily be used which benefits from power of two length block sizes.

A method for synchronizing a CDMA receiver to a transmitter when an adaptive antenna is utilized to receive transmitted data, wherein a receiving antenna system is adapted between a 360° reception angle pattern (i.e., an omni-directional pattern) and a fixed reception angle (i.e., a directional pattern) by permitting the receiver to identify a pilot signal having the largest magnitude. The receiver minimizes interference from other pilot signals by steering antenna pattern nulls toward other transmitters. As a result, the time required for the receiver to acquire a valid pilot signal is significantly reduced.

The combination of a thermoplastic polymer and a thermosetting polymer, provides a pigment system for producing coated printing papers. The thermoplastic polymer and thermosetting polymer, suspended in well-known coating binders and carriers, is applied to the web substrate on a standard paper machine. The amount of thermoset, preferably at least about 25% by weight of the pigment solids, improves ink receptivity and allows adjustable control of finished paper gloss. The amount of thermoset added to the pigment system is limited, however, preferably below about 75% by weight of the pigment solids, so that the finished printing paper obtains a Gardner 75.degree. gloss of at least about 40, at calendering pressures of less than 500 PLI.

摘要:
A channel estimator for use with the wireless digital data receiver facilitates processing of a preamble symbol sequence received over a multipath communication channel to enable the impulse response of the channel to be rapidly estimated, and thereby set the parameters of the receiver's decision feedback equalizer. During the preamble dwell interval, selected estimates of one or more received preamble symbols within a plurality of successive data symbols are repeated, in order to generate a longer sequence of preamble symbol estimates. The receiver's processor then employs this longer sequence of data symbol values, to solve an associated set of linear equations for estimating the multipath channel's impulse response.
摘要:
In an illustrative embodiment of the present invention, a first channel is allocated for transmitting sporadically generated messages from multiple field units to a base station. The first channel is preferably divided into time slots in which a field unit transmits an access request message to the base station for establishing a communication link. In response to an access request message, feedback information is provided from the base station to multiple field units indicating whether a collision was detected on the first channel for a message transmitted in a previous time slot. In an instance when a collision is detected, the field unit will re-transmit an access request message at a previous power level setting based on a random back off time. If no collision is detected and the base station fails to transmit an acknowledgment message from the base station to the access requesting field unit, the power output level of the field unit is increased for successive message transmissions until the message is received.
