摘要:
An apparatus for performance improvement of a digital wireless receiver comprises a processing circuit for processing a plurality of received signals and providing a processed signal, wherein a plurality of weights is applied to the plurality of received signals producing a plurality of weighted received signals. The plurality of weighted received signals are combined to provide the processed signal. A weight generation circuit generates the plurality of weights, wherein weights are generated so as to solve a minimization problem that penalizes excessive time variability in the weights.

A system and method for applying channel weights in a communication system are presented. The application of weights derived from a sample window is time-shifted into that sample window, decreasing the effects of channel variation and partially compensating for degradation due to differential detection.

A system and method for generating a coherent reference signal for extracting desired user signals from received signals even after error propagation is underway, are presented. A data symbol preceding a sequence whose relative phases are known is used as an absolute phase reference. Since errors in detection of the phase reference symbol are usually caused by error propagation already underway, the sequence can be used to reacquire the desired signal with merely an absolute phase shift in detected data, which allows accurate differential detection of the desired user signal even in the absence of absolute phase knowledge.

An improvement of a digital wireless receiver comprises a processing circuit for processing a plurality of received signals, and providing a processed signal having an amplitude; and an adjusting circuit for adjusting the amplitude of the processed signal, the adjusting circuit coupled to the processing circuit, where the adjusting circuit adjusts the amplitude as a function of distortion of the plurality of received signals. The processing circuit can weight and combine the plurality of received signals. The distortion can be estimated from a squared error of the plurality of received signals, which can be averaged over a sliding window. The function can comprise multiplying the processed signal by square root of the averaged squared error. Such amplitude adjustment is useful to maintain the soft decision information for the processed signal that is fed to a base station having soft decision decoding, or can be used in the base station with soft decoding.

A communication system and method, particularly adapted for use in adaptive antenna arrays, are presented. A plurality of signals containing a desired signal, interference, and noise are received through an array of antennas connected to a base receiving station. The signal arriving at each antenna is weighted according to computations which adjust those weights as a function of received interference and noise power in an unequal manner, based on the estimation accuracy of the interference and noise, which in turn depends on factors such as interference to noise power ratios and fading rate.

Methods of selecting a transmitter power for a mobile telephone include receiving a telephone number and transmitting a control message associated with selection of a transmitter power if the telephone number meets a predetermined criterion. For example, if the telephone number is an emergency service number or number associated with a navigation assistance service, the control message is transmitted.

A MIMO OFDM system includes a plurality of space-time encoders for encoding respective data blocks with independent space-time codes. The transformed data block signals are transmitted by a plurality of transmit antennas and received by a plurality of receive antennas. The received data is pre-whitened prior to maximum likelihood detection. In one embodiment, successive interference cancellation can be sued to improve system performance. Channel parameter estimation can be enhanced by weighting the channel impulse response estimates based upon a deviation from average.
