    摘要: The present invention relates to receiver apparatuses and methods of controlling weight adaptation in a receiver of a code multiplex telecommunications system with orthogonal spreading codes, wherein received discrete time signal samples are chip-level filtered by using a first equalising step. Additionally, the received discrete time signal samples are delayed by a time period corresponding to a data symbol and used in a second equalising step. Symbol estimates obtained from the first equalising step are non-linearly filtered and used as a desired response for the second equalising step in the following symbol period, wherein equaliser weights adapted in the second equalising step are used for the first equalising step. Alternatively, the second equalising step may be dispensed with and weight adaptation may be incorporated in a single equalising step. As an additional or alternative option, a hybrid equaliser architecture may be provided, where the above two-step equalisation is used during an active phase where a channel is allocated, while another weight updating scheme is used during an inactive phase where no channel is assigned. Thereby, detrimental effects of interference power can be reduced at low increase in complexity.

    摘要: Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) with multiple power amplifiers and antennas in a mobile transmitter, such as a user equipment for a cellular telephone communication system, has such great impacts on the transmitter's battery life, form factor, and complexity that it should not be used unless its benefits clearly outweigh its costs. Methods and apparatus enable the benefits of MIMO by beam-forming and antenna-switching to be obtained without incurring the drawbacks of increased current consumption due to multiple power amplifiers.

    摘要: Several advanced features in wireless network, such as multi-carrier operation, multi-RAT/multi-mode transmission, etc., may not be exploited to their fullest potential when uplink transmit diversity is used in conjunction with them. Several techniques described herein address these problems. An example method begins with the evaluation (610) of operating conditions for a mobile terminal transmitter and, based on the operating conditions, selectively activating or deactivating (620) multiple-antenna transmission by the mobile terminal. The operating conditions that are evaluated include, in some embodiments, the applicability of power backoff (maximum power reduction, or “MPR”), including whether Additional MPR (A-MPR) or power management MPR (P-MPR) are applicable. Other operating conditions that are evaluated may include uplink data rate requirements or limitations for the mobile terminal, and/or the actual or estimated status of the battery in the UE.

    摘要: A scheme determines the first significant path (FSP) of a received multipath signal, from data defining the relative delay and the amplitude of the individual signal paths occurring in a series of time frames. The scheme includes filtering the data to spread the signal paths, performing a persistence test between frames to reject spurious signal paths, combining the energy of the signal paths in a frame, applying a test to determine the time at which the combined energy satisfies a criterion, and selecting the FSP dependent on that time. The combined energy may be evaluated within a sliding window, and the position of the window within the frame determined that maximizes the combined energy. Alternatively, the combined energy may be evaluated as the cumulative energy through the frame, and the position determined at which the cumulative energy reaches a threshold.

    摘要: An automatic gain control (AGC) method and system for a radio receiver are proposed in which the ACG comprises two AGC loops; a first loop controlling signal gain in the analog portion of the radio receiver, a second loop controlling gain in the digital domain after digitization of the received signal. The analog AGC loop has a slower response time than the digital AGC loop. When applied to a multi-branch diversity receiver, each branch has its own digital AGC loop, but the analog gain can be common to all branches, based on measurement of the analog signal in each branch.

    摘要: A user equipment, UE, (14) and a radio network node (12) can perform multiple input multiple output, MIMO, communication. The UE determines a precoder (50, 54) used in the radio network node for transmitting signals from multiple transmit antennas to the UE. Based on the determined precoder used, the UE determines receiver parameters (22, 60A, 60B) for receiving MIMO signals from the radio network node, and configures the UE to receive MIMO signals from the radio network node in accordance with the determined receiver parameters. The radio network node may provide information for transmission to the UE indicating the precoder used in the radio network node to permit the UE to determine a receiver configuration for receiving MIMO signals based on the determined precoder used by the radio network node.
