    摘要: Channel and correlation characteristics are determined for a composite signal. Respective combining weights for information from the composite signal are determined for respective ones of a plurality of candidate delays based on the determined channel and correlation characteristics. A group of delays, e.g., RAKE correlator delays or chip equalizer filter taps, is selected from the plurality of candidate delays based on the determined weights. Information from the composite signal for the selected delays is processed according to a spreading code to generate a symbol estimate. The invention may be embodied as methods, apparatus and computer program products.

    摘要: A system and method for adapting a broadcast service in a cellular communication network. A base station receives indications of channel quality from registered users of the broadcast service, and adapts broadcast transmission parameters to improve channel quality for the broadcast users if at least one of the broadcast users indicates that channel quality needs to be improved. If none of the broadcast users indicates that channel quality needs to be improved, the base station adapts the transmission parameters to decrease channel quality for the broadcast users. The transmission parameters may be adapted by techniques such as changing the broadcast transmit power, changing the level of FEC encoding and modulation, changing the number of channel resources allocated, or changing the transmission data rate for the broadcast service. When multiple base stations transmit the broadcast information, a base station controller may minimize network resource utilization by coordinating adaptation control among the base stations.

    摘要: A method and apparatus in a radio receiver for canceling interference from a high power, high data rate signal received in a combined signal that includes a contribution from the high power signal and a contribution from a lower power signal. It is first determined whether the high power signal was correctly received. A CRC checksum may be used to determine whether the high power signal was received with a good reliability. Thereafter, the contribution of the high power signal is removed from the received signal only if the high power signal was correctly received. The contribution of the high power signal may be removed by hard-subtracting the contribution of the high power signal from the received signal if all of the bits of the checksum are correct, and soft-subtracting the contribution of the high power signal from the received signal if most, but not all, of the bits in the checksum are correct.

    摘要: According to a method and apparatus taught herein, a decoding circuit and method decode linear block codes based on determining joint probabilities for one or more related subsets of bits in received data blocks. The use of joint probabilities enables faster and more reliable determination of received bits, meaning that, for example, joint probability decoding requires fewer decoding iterations than a comparable decoding process based on single-bit probabilities. As a non-limiting example, the decoding circuit and method taught herein provide advantageous operation with Low Density Parity Check (LDPC) codes, and can be incorporated in a variety of communication systems and devices, such as those associated with wireless communication networks.

    摘要: A wireless communication receiver, such as the receiver included in a wireless communication transceiver implemented in a base station or in a mobile station of a wireless communication network, includes a parametric G-RAKE receiver circuit and a method that compute parametric scaling parameters on a per transmission interval basis. In one embodiment, measured impairment correlations are obtained for an individual transmission slot and used to estimate instantaneous values of the scaling parameters. One or both of those instantaneous values are then constrained according to one or more defined limits. In other embodiments, multiple transmission slots are used to increase the number of measurements available to estimate the scaling parameters, with parameter constraining optionally applied. Further embodiments use iterative methods and/or solve for one parameter, and use the results to obtain the other parameter(s). One or more of these embodiments can be improved through the use of error correction/detection information.

    摘要: A flexible Fast Walsh Transform circuit provides configurable FWT sizes, and is suitable for use in radio receivers where the received signal may be generated using varying spreading codes and/or varying numbers of multi-codes. Such signal types are commonly encountered in wireless communication systems like those based on the Wideband CDMA (W-CDMA) or IS-2000 (cdma2000) standards, and particularly with the higher data rate provisions of those standards. In one application, a RAKE receiver includes RAKE fingers that each include one of the flexible FWT circuits, such that each finger despreads the received signal using variably sized FWTs in accordance with the characteristics of the received signal. The flexibility in FWT sizing may derive from, for example, the inclusion of separately selectable but differently sized FWT circuits, or from the inclusion of a configurable FWT circuit capable of generating different sizes of FWTs.

    摘要: A reduced search symbol estimation algorithm includes a forward recursion, a backward recursion, and a combining step. To reduce complexity, during the forward and backward recursions, the number of survivor states retained at each stage is less than the total number of states of the trellis. The survivor states are selected from a group of candidate states, that are connected by branches to survivors from the previous stage of the recursion. The decoder compares the accumulated path metrics for each candidate state and retains a specified number of states that is less than the total possible number of states. For the forward recursion, the retained states or survivor states, denoted as Qk, are stored along with the corresponding state metrics. For the backward recursion, the retained states, denoted as Rk, are stored along with the corresponding state metrics. During the combining step, the computation of a soft value is restricted to branches (s′,s) connecting survivor states s′ and s in the forward and backward recursions respectively.
