    摘要: The automatic frequency correction value applied by a receiver is altered to minimize long-term drift of a path delay profile. In one embodiment, the phase or timing error resulting from constant frequency corrections is accumulated, and an estimated frequency correction value is selectively quantized into an actual frequency correction value in response to the accumulated phase/timing error. The quantized value above or below the estimate is selected to minimize the accumulated phase/timing error that gives rise to path delay profile drift. In another embodiment, a timing circuit measures the instantaneous path delay profile drift incurred with each frequency correction, and integrates the instantaneous drift measurements over time to yield a path delay profile drift. The drift (or its rate of change) is then used to adjust a frequency correction value so as to minimize the drift.

    摘要: Methods and devices for detecting a symbol in a radio channel and for cell identification are disclosed. A signal is received from the radio channel and the signal is filtered by a filter being responsive to the symbol thereby establishing a first signal. A second signal dependent on the noise floor of the received signal is established—whereby a time interval expected to include multi-path components being excluded or suppressed. A third signal being the ratio between the first signal and the noise floor is established, and the presence of the symbol is detected by detecting a peak in the third signal.

    摘要: A user equipment (UE) in a mobile communications system is operated in a manner that alleviates or avoids an overload condition in the UE. This involves operating a receiver of the UE to receive one or more data blocks via a channel. In response to a user equipment overload condition being detected, a channel quality indicator (CQI) value is reported to a serving base station, wherein the reported CQI value represents a channel quality that is lower than an actual quality of the channel. The UE is then operated in a manner that is consistent with the reported CQI value. UE overload conditions include overheating, and an inability to process received data blocks at the rate at which they are being received.

For example, in one embodiment the Rake receiver circuit comprises one or more processing circuits that are configured to generate Rake combining weights in a first mode of operation as first combining weights calculated from channel estimates corresponding to a set of Rake signal fingers. In a second mode, the processing circuit(s) generate the Rake combining weights as compensated combining weights obtained by compensating the first combining weights with second combining weights calculated from colored interference estimates corresponding to a set of Rake probing fingers.

    摘要: A telecommunications system for improving quality of service (QoS) to users via the implementation of an extended outer loop power control algorithm. A radio resource manager (RRM) operates to determine the number of channels allotted to users within a network at a certain time. The RRM implements the extended outer loop power control algorithm for each allotted channel, thus determining SIR reference values for each allotted channel the RRM ensures that the SIR reference value for any channel does not fall bellow a predetermined minimum value. The SIR reference value to be used for all channels in use is determined as the highest of all the calculated SIR reference values. The extended outer loop power control algorithm can be implemented at a mobile station level, base station level or radio network controller level.

    摘要: An automatic frequency control (AFC) system in an electronic device is operated by using an AFC-algorithm component to determine a frequency error corresponding to a difference between a frequency of a signal output from a signal generator and a received signal frequency. The frequency error determined by the AFC-algorithm component is multiplied by a scaling factor, which is set to zero after an adjustment has been made to change a frequency of the signal output from the signal generator. The scaling factor is increased from zero to one over time. The scaled frequency error is used to determine whether to adjust the frequency of the signal output from the signal generator.
