    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 searcher uses an input signal, and for example, a matched filter to generate a first set of candidate paths. A selector uses the input signal and the first set of candidate paths to generate a second set of paths. The second set of paths is used to configure the fingers of a RAKE receiver. According to one aspect of the invention, the first set of candidate paths contains M paths, and the second stage uses M correlators to generate a set of M correlation values. The second stage uses the M correlation values to select N paths that are used to configure the N fingers of the RAKE receiver. According to another aspect of the invention, the first set of candidate paths contains M paths, and the second stage uses a multiple of M correlators to track the M paths and generate a set of M estimates. The second stage uses the M estimates to select N paths that are used to configure the N fingers of the RAKE receiver. According to another aspect of the invention, the selector can generate new sets of N paths while the searcher is either active or inactive. The receiver can use a quality signal or a counter to notify the searcher and/or the selector to generate new sets of paths. The selector decreases the need to continuously run the matched filter. The receiver can re-configure the fingers without having to search for new paths. The receiver can also find paths that are uncorrelated and less susceptible to fading.

    摘要: A receiver can identify the source of a signal from an unsynchronized source. The receiver has an antenna for receiving two signals. The receiver correlates the first signal with a code to find a first location in time, and correlates the second signal with the same code to find a second location in time. The receiver calculates a time difference between the first location in time and the second location in time and uses the time difference to identify the source of the two signals. A group of base stations or directional antennas use the same long code and synchronization codes. However, each source shifts the long code by a different amount so that for any two sources there is a unique difference between the shifts in the long code. Each source shifts a set of synchronization codes the same amount as the long code. The synchronization codes can be any short code that is relatively easy for the mobile station to detect. When the receiver receives the two signals, the receiver calculates the difference in the shifts. Because there is a unique difference for each pair of sources, the receiver can identify the source of a signal from an unsynchronized source without having to connect to the source to use a broadcast channel or control channel. The receiver can distinguish between different synchronized sources without any prior synchronization.

    摘要: A first searcher searches a first channel (e.g., a broadcast channel), a second searcher searches a second channel (e.g., a traffic channel), and the second searcher uses information from the first searcher to search the second channel. In one aspect of the invention, the first searcher generates a delay profile for the first channel. A second searcher uses the delay profile to generate a set of taps for the second channel. In another aspect of the invention, the first searcher is configured to find a maximum correlation value (or a set of maximum correlation values). The second searcher shifts a search finger by an amount equal to the delay corresponding to the maximum correlation value(s). The second searcher can also shift a code corresponding to the second signal by an amount equal to the sum of the delay corresponding to the maximum correlation value(s) and a predetermined value.
