摘要:
Signal processing delays are selected from a candidate set in a wireless receiver based on both present and past channel behavior. According to one embodiment, a subset of signal processing delays are selected for received signal processing by accumulating a history of periodic delay selection computations for a candidate set of signal processing delays during a time interval. The delay selection calculations are based on cross-correlations between different ones of the signal processing delays. At the end of the time interval, a subset of the signal processing delays are selected from the candidate set of delays for received signal processing based on the history of delay selection computations.
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.

Channel response and impairment correlation estimates are iteratively determined. According to one embodiment of performing channel estimation for use in received signal processing, a channel response estimate is calculated based on an initial impairment correlations estimate and a measured channel response derived from a received signal. A revised impairment correlations estimate is calculated using a parametric approach based on the channel response estimate and the channel response estimate is recalculated based on the revised impairment correlations estimate. According to one embodiment of a wireless communication device, the device comprises a parameter estimation unit configured to iteratively calculate a medium channel response estimate based on a parametric impairment correlations estimate and a measured net channel response derived from a received signal. The wireless communication device also comprises circuitry configured to control how many times the parameter estimation unit calculates the medium channel response estimate.

摘要:
The computational complexity required for interference suppression in the reception of wireless communications from multiple users is reduced by sharing information among the users. In some situations, information indicative of a statistical characteristic of the interference is shared among the users. Delays used to produce the interference statistic information are determined based on rake finger delays employed by the users. In some situations, a parameter estimate that is used to calculate combining weights for the users is shared among the users.
摘要:
Signal impairment correlations for multiple signals in a received multipath signal are constructed by fitting parametric models associated with each high-data-rate signal in the multipath against measured impairment correlations. The estimated model fitting parameters are applied to form impairment correlation estimates for all signals. The models comprise a separate impairment covariance matrix scaled by a model fitting parameter for each high-data-rate signal and a noise covariance matrix scaled by a noise element model fitting parameter. The model fitting parameters may be estimated by a least-squares formulation and applied to form impairment correlation estimates for all signals of interest. The resulting impairment correlation estimates may be provided to G-RAKE receivers or joint scaling demodulators to demodulate the signals while suppressing interference from the high-data-rate signals.

A Direct-Sequence Code Division Multiple Access (DS-CDMA) receiver and method of allocating probing correlators and combining correlators (fingers). A front-end processor converts received radio signals to baseband samples. Based on average path strengths, a controller adaptively allocates probing correlators to signal paths to de-spread certain received signals. Based on path power estimates, the controller adaptively allocates combining correlators to signal paths. The allocations may be made to minimize the total received power at the receiver, or to achieve acceptable performance for all users.
摘要:
A receiver based on a RAKE receiver architecture includes a logic circuit configured to assign one or more RAKE fingers to a finger placement grid that is independent from a searcher delay grid used by the receiver's searcher in generating multipath delay profiles for received signals. The logic circuit may use the multipath delay profile to “tune” the finger placement grid relative to the searcher delay grid but the delay resolution of the finger placement grid is independent of the searcher delay grid. This independence permits, for example, setting the finger placement grid to a delay resolution based on a Nyquist criterion independently from the delay resolution used by the searcher. The receiver may use two or more finger placement grids, may operate in a mixed mode where fingers are assigned on- and off-grid, and may operate selectively in grid or non-grid modes.
摘要:
The present application describes a new path search and verification method and apparatus for identifying and selecting one or more delays for a receiver. A front-end receiver receives a signal having one or more signal images, where each signal image has a corresponding signal delay. A tree generator builds a hierarchical delay tree from a plurality of delay nodes, each corresponding to one of the signal delays. A tree searcher searches through the delay tree to identify one or more surviving delay nodes, where each surviving delay node corresponds to a candidate delay for the receiver. The receiver may also include a state machine comprising a plurality of ordered states for providing candidate delays for the receiver. The state machine stores the candidate delays and shifts the candidate delays between states within the state machine based on the latest results from the tree searcher.
