This disclosure is directed to a wireless receiver and a method for configuring the wireless receiver, comprising the actions of determining a geometry factor for a channel over which signals are transmitted to the wireless receiver, the geometry factor being a measure indicative of inter-cell interference plus noise power at the wireless receiver; determining the variance of the determined geometry factor, the variance being a measure indicative of the variation in time or rate of the geometry factor; and configuring the wireless receiver based on the geometry factor and the variance of the geometry factor.

Methods and apparatus for controlling a receiver based on a received signal include receiving the signal; generating, based on a portion of the signal, a SIR estimate; comparing the SIR estimate and a threshold value; and demodulating a remaining portion of the signal only if the SIR estimate passes the threshold value.

In an OFDM communications system receiver, channel estimates are processed to remove or reduce noise, exploiting the orthogonality of pilot patterns. The de-noised channel estimates are then used to compute inter-cell interference. The noise effects of orthogonal pilot patterns are selectively removed from channel samples in estimating inter-cell interference, depending on whether data subcarriers are subject to the same interference as pilot subcarriers, and whether data subcarriers are subject to interference from sectors with pilot patterns orthogonal to those in the transmitting sector. A further calculation removes noise from cells not identified by an orthogonal pilot sequence, which may be particularly applicable when large variations exist in the frequency domain of the propagation channel across a pilot pattern.

With a nonparametric G-Rake receiver, combining weights may be determined using a nonparametric mechanism in multiple-input, multiple-output (MIMO) scenarios. In an example embodiment, a method for a receiving device having a nonparametric G-Rake receiver entails calculating an impairment covariance matrix and determining combining weights. More specifically, the impairment covariance matrix is calculated based on a pilot channel using a nonparametric mechanism in a MIMO scenario in which a code-reuse interference term exists. The combining weights are determined for the nonparametric G-Rake receiver responsive to the impairment covariance matrix and by accounting for the code-reuse interference term.

Coded digital data symbols sent through a transmission channel of a communications network are received in a receiver. Estimates (y) represented by a first number (a+b) of bits are calculated, and modified estimates (y′) represented by a second number (c) of bits provided therefrom, the second number being lower than the first number. An amplitude value is calculated for each estimate (y), and an averaged amplitude value calculated for a number of amplitude values. A scaling factor (s) is calculated form the averaged amplitude value, and scaled estimates generated in dependence of die scaling factor. The scaling factor is used for a number of scaled estimates corresponding to the number of amplitude values for which the averaged amplitude value was calculated. Thus a better scaling factor is provided for most channel cases, which can still be calculated with the limited computational resources of a terminal for such networks.

Multipath components of transmitted data symbols are received with individual delays and processed by a RAKE having a number of fingers. A delay profile indicating magnitudes for a first number of delay values is provided. Estimated magnitudes for a second number of delay values located between the first number of delay values are calculated by interpolation, and a combined delay profile is provided by combining the magnitudes for the first and second number of delay values. Delay values for peaks in the combined delay profile are determined, and a number of peak delay values (P1, P2, P) comprising the largest peak are selected from the combined delay profile. At least some of the selected peak delay values are provided to the RAKE and assigned to the fingers. This allows a reduction of current consumption and dye area, while still providing delay values with sufficient resolution for the RAKE.

A wireless communication device corrects data transmission errors caused by the simultaneous transmission of multiple streams of data in a Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) network. The wireless communication device corrects data transmission errors by removing the signal contribution associated with one or more received signal components from a corresponding received composite signal, thus allowing the remaining components to be decoded relatively free from the signal contribution of the removed components. In one embodiment, the wireless communication device comprises a plurality of antennas and a baseband processor. The antennas are configured to receive a composite signal having a plurality of received signal components. The baseband processor is configured to obtain decoding quality metrics for individual ones of the received signal components, form regenerated received signal components for the received signal components having satisfactory decoding quality metrics, and remove the regenerated received signal components from the received composite signal.

A method and a receiver for receiving coded digital data symbols sent from a transmitter through a transmission channel of a communications network is adapted to calculate first symbol estimates (y) of sent data symbols from the received data symbols, each of the first symbol estimates (y) having a first bitwidth (a+b), provide a scaling factor (s) and using the scaling factor (s) to scale the first symbol estimates, truncate the scaled symbol estimates (ysc) to a second, lower bitwidth (c) and thereby providing second symbol estimates (yt).
摘要:
According to the teachings disclosed in this document, a receiver estimates impairment correlations for a received signal using received pilot values. This direct estimation of impairment correlations based on direct pilot observations, provides for a rich capture of all impairment sources bearing on the received signal. Advantageously, however, estimation noise is reduced by generating a structured covariance matrix from the measured covariance matrix, and carrying out structured filtering within the structured covariance matrix. Structured filtering involves averaging matrix elements that correspond to the same processing delay difference as used for measured impairment correlation estimation. In one or more embodiments, averaged net channel estimates are used to obtain a rank one matrix, which is used to convert a measured covariance matrix to a structured covariance matrix, for carrying out structured filtering.

Multipath components of signals transmitted through time-varying digital radio channels are received with individual delays, and signals through a given channel comprise a code identifying that channel. A delay profile indicating a magnitude (Y) for delay values in a search window is calculated repetitively for known channels; the delays of multipath components for known channels estimated; a signal strength indicator calculated; and a search for new multipath components not already estimated performed at regular time intervals. When a new multipath component is found, its identification code is compared to the codes of the known channels. If the code of the new component is identical to the code of a known channel, a delay profile and a signal strength indicator is calculated for a window transposed to include the new multipath component. In this way as many multipath components as possible are included in the search window for a new cell.
