    摘要: A method and apparatus is provided to facilitate coherent communication in a random access channel. In encoding, reference symbols are inserted into a stream of access channel message data symbols and appended to a synchronization message to form a reference coded access channel transmission. Subsequently, the access channel transmission is prepared for transmission over a communication channel by being spread with a spreading code. In decoding, a known synchronization sequence is correlated with a received communication signal to generate a correlation peak when a synchronization message is present. The received communication signal is despread with a spreading code to derive a stream of reference samples and data samples. A channel response is determined from the correlation peak and revised based on estimates derived from the stream of reference samples. Finally, an estimated data symbol is detected from the stream of data samples by utilizing the revised channel response.

    摘要: A method and apparatus is provided for facilitating coherent communication reception. A received reference symbol coded spread spectrum communication signal is despread with a spreading code to derive a stream of reference samples and a stream of data samples. The channel response is estimated by utilizing the stream of reference samples. An offset frequency detector determines an offset to be applied to the received signal via a frequency locked loop, while a timing control compensates for slow timing drift and fast fading based on power estimates derived from the stream of reference samples and/or the stream of data samples. A slot detector controls gates which optimize the timing control and frequency offset detector outputs from the various timing branches. Thus an improved detection of estimated data symbols from the stream of received data samples is provided.

    摘要: A receiver (200, 400) implements improved channel estimation. The receiver (200, 400) demodulates a transmitted signal, and makes an initial channel estimate (115). The receiver (200, 400) then makes a hard decision (301) as to whether the channel estimate was correct and groups samples representing the decision. A vector sum of the group of samples is computed (302), and each sample is compared to the vector sum (303). The sample having the largest projection on the vector sum is retained (304), and the other samples are considered noise, and are thus discarded (305). After obtaining a predetermined number of retained samples (306), the retained samples are used to generate an new channel estimate (226). Since the noisy estimates are discarded, the new channel estimate (226) contains fewer errors than the initial channel estimate (115). The new channel estimate (226) is used to generate decoded data (250).

    摘要: Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate monitoring RF channels in a wireless communication environment to determine whether one or more channels comprise a forward-link-only (FLO) signal. A receiver can receive a first RF channel with a FLO signal and can monitor other RF channels for FLO signals. Upon a determination that a monitored RF channel comprises a FLO signal, the receiver can switch between the first RF channel and the monitored RF channel, employing information on current MLC decoding status, to facilitate providing seamless reception of the FLO signal, which can be superframe synchronized between RF channels. FLO signal detection can be performed using one or more of a wide-area identification channel energy detection protocol and a wide-area overhead information symbol decoding error detection protocol.
