    摘要: Demodulator architectures for processing a received signal in a wireless communications system. The demodulator includes a number of correlators coupled to a combiner. Each correlator typically receives and despreads input samples (which are generated from the received signal) with a respective despreading sequence to provide despread samples. Each correlator then decovers the despread samples to provide decovered “half-symbols” and further demodulates the decovered half-symbols with pilot estimates to generate correlated symbols. The decovering is performed with a Walsh symbol having a length (T) that is half the length (2T) of a Walsh symbol used to cover the data symbols in the transmitted signal. The combiner selectively combines correlated symbols from the assigned correlators to provide demodulated symbols. One or more correlators can be assigned to process one or more instances of each transmitted signal. The pilot estimates used within each assigned correlator to demodulate the decovered half-symbols are generated based on the signal instance being processed by that correlator.

    摘要: For coverage determination and system switching, a terminal obtains pilot strength estimates for base stations in first and second wireless communication systems (e.g., packet data system and voice/data system) and received signal quality estimates for at least one serving base station in the first system. The terminal derives various metrics based on the received signal quality estimates and pilot strength estimates. The terminal may perform handoff to the second system if weak coverage is detected for the first system, a received signal quality metric (Q) for the first system is below a Qth—dn threshold, and a pilot strength metric (V) for the second system exceeds a Vth—dn threshold. The terminal may perform handoff to the first system if good coverage is detected for this system, metric Q exceeds a Qth—up threshold, or a maximum pilot strength metric (M) for the first system exceeds a Mth—up threshold.

    摘要: A wireless mobile telephone (400) is operated so as manage the performance of “off-frequency searches,” that is, searches for base station pilot signals that differ in frequency from the pilot signals in the mobile station's active set. Whenever frequency searching is performed (such as responsive to emerging from a reduced-power sleep mode), the mobile station performs on-frequency pilot signal searching (902) upon a prescribed active set frequency. Only if a prescribed off-frequency searching condition (903-908) is satisfied, the mobile station additionally performs off-frequency pilot signal searching (912) upon one or more neighboring base stations' frequencies.

    摘要: The velocity of a wireless communications device (WCD) (106) is estimated. In response to this estimate a power control command rate is determined. The WCD 106 transmits power control signals to a base station (102) according to the power control command rate. The power control command rate may be determined by mapping the estimated velocity to a velocity range, and selecting a rate that corresponds to the velocity range as the power control command rate. Velocity is estimated by measuring a level crossing rate of a multipath signal.

    摘要: Techniques to efficiently attempt acquisition of a packet data system (e.g., an IS-856 system). If a terminal has acquired one or more channels in a voice/data system (e.g., an IS-2000 system), then it can attempt acquisition on channels in the packet data system that are co-located with the acquired channels in the voice/data system. Multiple acquisition modes may be used, and on-going acquisition attempts on the co-located channels may be performed using one acquisition mode at a time in order to reduce power consumption. Acquisition attempts may be performed in a “ping-pong” manner to improve the likelihood of acquisition. For a ping-pong search, an acquisition attempt is made on the most recently acquired channel prior to an acquisition attempt on each of the remaining channels. Received signal strength estimates may also be obtained for selected channels and may be used to determine whether or not to attempt acquisition on these channels.
