It is emphasized that this abstract is provided to comply with the rules requiring an abstract which will allow a searcher or other reader to quickly ascertain the subject matter of the technical disclosure. It is submitted with the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or the meaning of the claims.
摘要:
A system determines if a primary paging channel should be received based on an examination of a quick paging channel. A first QPCH symbol is examined (102) and the normalized pilot energy is determined (104). If the normalized pilot energy is above a first threshold (106), the symbol is demodulated and the QPCH-symbol-to-pilot-energy ratio is determined (110) and compared against another threshold (112). If the normalized pilot energy is below the first threshold, the system proceeds to the second QPCH symbol immediately. Depending on the resulting values, a second QPCH signal is examined (108), the system sleeps (114), or the system decides (116) to process the primary paging channel directly (118). If the second signal is demodulated, and if its normalized pilot energy is high enough, it also is demodulated and the ratio of the sum-of-the-combined-QPCH-symbols to the sum-of-the-combined-pilot-energies is determined (122). If this ratio exceeds a threshold (124), the primary paging channel is processed (118); otherwise the system sleeps (114).

If the normalized pilot energy is below the first threshold, the system proceeds to the second QPCH symbol immediately. Based on the two comparisons, a second QPCH signal is examined (108) or the system sleeps (116). If the second signal is examined, and if its normalized pilot energy is high enough, it also is demodulated and the ratio of the sum-of-the-combined-QPCH-symbols to the sum-of-the-combined-pilot-energies is determined (122).

摘要:
In general, the invention facilitates searching for energy peaks in spread spectrum wireless communication systems with greater precision. More particularly, various embodiments of the invention may involve reporting not only an energy peak and its associated offset, but also the energy levels corresponding to one or more offsets occurring before and after the offset at which the energy peak occurs. Interpolation or extrapolation techniques may be used to predict the actual location of an energy peak based on the apparent location of the peak and the energy levels observed at surrounding offsets.

摘要:
A method and apparatus mitigating the effects of cross-correlation signals on received satellite signals in a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver is described. MS-Assisted and MS-Based cross-correlation detection and mitigation methods and apparatus are described. A GPS search mode architecture is used to detect SV signals and identify potential cross-correlations. The GPS search modes have different coherent integration lengths and different degrees of sensitivity. After detection, measurements are logged into a database for further processing. Several cross-correlation tests are described. For example, a “Mainlobe” cross-correlation test is described that identifies the most significant cross-correlations that occur when the Doppler difference between the interfering SV signal and the target SV signal is nonzero and a multiple of 1 kHz. Appropriate C/No and Doppler thresholds, or masks, are selected and used to identify the mainlobe cross-correlations. A wide Doppler mask is used to account for the effects on cross-correlations caused by BPSK data bit modulation. Appropriate MS-Assisted and MS-Based cross-correlation masks are described. Other cross-correlation tests include “variable C/No”, “strong”, “wide Doppler” and “pre-emptive” cross-correlation detection tests.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for frequency tracking is described. The present invention provides a tracking mechanism for removing the effects of error due to frequency offset as well as compensation for frequency error due to doppler in a plurality of multipath signals. Each finger of a RAKE receiver utilizing the present invention will compute a frequency error for that finger. The weighted average of all of these frequency errors is calculated and filtered to provide a control signal for varying the frequency of IF and RF frequency synthesizers, accounting for the common frequency offset seen at each finger. Additionally, each finger is equipped with a rotator for providing frequency adjustment specific to that finger. The frequency of each finger is adjusted through feedback of the frequency error for that finger.
