摘要:
A RAKE receiver which is employed in a direct sequence spread spectrum communication system, and which can effectively receive multipath signals. A path searcher measures the amplitude of each path, selects N paths with larger amplitudes in descending order of magnitude, where N is the number of despreaders, and assigns the despreaders to the selected paths to despread the signals of the paths. This assignment of the despreaders to the paths is carried out such that a path with a large amplitude and a path with a small amplitude are assigned to adjacent despreaders and are input to the same pre-detection combiner. The outputs of the despreaders are combined by the pre-detection combiners, and detected by detectors whose outputs are RAKE combined by a post-detection combiner.

A base station including a transmitting and receiving amplifier for amplifying CDMA signals exchanged with a mobile station; a radio stage connected to the transmitting and receiving amplifier for carrying out D/A conversion of a transmitted signal that undergoes baseband spreading, followed by quadrature modulation, and for carrying out quasi-coherent detection of a received signal, followed by A/D conversion; a baseband signal processor connected with the radio stage for carrying out baseband signal processing of the transmitted signal and the received signal; a transmission interface connected with the baseband signal processor for implementing interface with external channels; and a base station controller for carrying out control such as management of radio channels and establishment and release of the radio channels. The base station communicates with the external channels by mapping logical channels into physical channels. The CDMA signals are spread using a short code and a long code.
摘要:
A coherent detection method including a step of estimating a transfer function of a propagation path using pseudo-pilot signals which consist of some information symbols adjacent to pilot signals. The information symbols in the pseudo-pilot signals are assumed to be known. The method includes the steps of estimating the transfer functions using the pilot signals, carrying out interpolation coherent detection of the information symbols using the estimated transfer functions, storing the detection results as the pseudo-pilot signals, reestimating the transfer functions associated with the information symbols corresponding to the pseudo-pilot signals by using the pseudo-pilot signals and the corresponding received signal under the assumption that the pseudo-pilot signals have a known correct pattern, and carrying out the interpolation coherent detection of the individual information symbols by using the transfer functions obtained by the reestimation. This makes it possible to estimate the transfer function at high accuracy with a small number of symbols per pilot signal, thereby improving the detection characteristics.
摘要:
A spreading and/or despreading mechanism in which the inphase component and a quadrature component of a signal are to be transmitted by using a short code and a long code. The long code has an inphase component and a quadrature component that are different from each other. The spreading and despreading operations carry out a complex-to-complex operation between a combination of the inphase component and the quadrature component of the signal and a combination of the inphase component and the quadrature component of the long code.
摘要:
A variable rate transmission method that can vary the transmission rate of data. A transmitting side supplies a transmitted data sequence to an error detecting encoder 105 and a frame memory 103. The frame memory 103 stores data of a variable length to be transmitted in one frame. The error detecting encoder 105 calculates an error detecting code (such as CRC code) for each frame of the transmitted data. A multiplexer 104 adds the calculated error detecting code ahead of the transmitted data to place it at the initial position of the frame, and sequentially outputs the data sequence frame by frame. A receiving side calculates an error detecting code of the data in each transmitted frame in the same manner as the transmitting side, and compares the calculated error detecting code with the error detecting code at the initial position of the frame. The end bit of the frame data is decided as a position at which the two error detecting codes coincide. This makes it possible to transmit variable length data without informing the receiving side of the data length in each frame. This is equivalent that the transmission rate can be varied freely.
摘要:
A repeater improving the effect of a RAKE reception. A received signal from a base station parallelly passes a first path including a first delay circuit and a second path including no delay circuit, and is transmitted to a mobile station. A received signal from the mobile station parallelly passes a third path including a second delay circuit and a fourth path including no delay circuit, and is transmitted to the base station. The delay time of the delay circuits are set at one chip interval or more of a spreading code. This forcedly produces multipath waves which are resolvable by a RAKE receiver. The RAKE receiver estimates amplitudes of desired wave components for individual delayed waves, performs weighting of the respective delayed wave components from detectors by using the estimated amplitudes, and makes symbol decision in terms of the combined weighted signal.
摘要:
A code sequence generator having a register for holding n-bit code, and a calculation circuit for performing matrix calculation on the content of the register, and sequentially generating a code sequence by feeding back the calculation results to the register. The matrix which is set in the calculation circuit is changed by selectively reading a matrix from a memory circuit that stores precalculated matrices. This makes it possible to set a desired register state in a short time even if the desired code sequence is very long, and to generate any code sequences without changing the rate of a clock signal.
