摘要:
A method and apparatus for mitigating multi-user interference in reception of a code division multiple access (CDMA) signal is described. The CDMA signal has a plurality of spread user symbol streams, each spread by a corresponding one of a plurality of spreading codes. Estimated symbols are iteratively improved by forming a reconstructed signal from the estimated symbols, subtracting the reconstructed signal from the CDMA signal to create a difference signal, and adjusting the estimated symbols based on a combination of the difference signal and the estimated symbols.

A method is disclosed for operating a synchronous space division multiple access, code division multiple access communications system. The method includes steps of, within a coverage area of a base station (BS), (a) assigning the same spreading code to a plurality of subscriber stations (SSs); and (b) beamforming using an antenna array at the BS so as to maximize the signal to interference plus noise ratio for a signal transmitted from a desired SS, The beamforming operates to steer a null towards another same-code SS to minimize interference from the same-code SS. Assuming that the antenna array has M-elements (M>1), then individual ones of P orthogonal spreading codes can be reused αM times within the coverage area, where 1/M
摘要:
A method for acquiring signals received from multiple users in a single burst groups signals by power and sequentially processes the signal groups. A received sum of a plurality of user signals received in a burst is stored, and the transmitted symbols for each signal within a first group of the stored signals is estimated. A modified set of signals is then determined that excludes the signals of the first group. From the modified set of signals, the method continues by canceling multiuser interference among signals within a second group, and estimating transmitted symbols for each signal within the second group. The first and second groups includes all signals within a power band that defines the group, and the first band represents a higher power band than the second. Such iterative processing may continue for sequentially lower power bands until all signals are processed. A receiver is also detailed.

Disclosed is a method for acquiring a user signal from among several received from multiple users in a single burst. The method includes receiving a plurality of user signals in a single transmission burst, suppressing multiuser interference among at least some of the plurality of received signals, and determining a carrier frequency of at least one signal from among the interference suppressed plurality of received signals. Said signals may rotate due to a lack of synchronization while being equalized. Also described is a multiuser receiver for acquiring at least one user signal from among several user signals received from multiple users in a single burst. An antenna is for receiving a plurality of user signals in a single spread spectrum transmission burst, a matched filter is for despreading the signals, a multiuser equalizer is for suppressing mutual interference among at least a portion of the plurality of user signals, and a carrier lock circuit is for determining a carrier frequency of at least one user signal of the portion.

An apparatus and method for correlating a signal over a correlation interval while accommodating spreading code frequency offset is described. In one embodiment, the apparatus includes a plurality of correlators, where each correlator forms a correlation result corresponding to a unique code frequency offset hypothesis. Each correlator selects samples from a tapped delay line at a tap position moved along the delay line at a rate corresponding to the correlator unique code frequency offset hypothesis.

An emergency locating system can include emergency transceivers and rescue transceivers. The emergency transceivers can be capable of repeat transmission of a distress message using a variable power level and variable spreading factor. A receive transceiver can be capable of receiving the distress messages and sending a confirmation message to the emergency transceiver. The emergency transceiver can be capable of receiving the confirmation message and terminating transmission of the distress message.

A method for partitioning communication resource among multiple users partitions a portion of an available communication resource into a series of time-frequency slots, and allows multiple users to transmit in one of at least two available modes within a time-frequency slot. Preferably, one mode is time division of the time-frequency slot into time sub-slots, and another mode is code division of the time-frequency slot according to different spreading codes that spread an individual user's signal only within the subject time-frequency slot. Further details as to pilot signals, guard intervals, and payloads are described.
