    摘要: A method and apparatus for decoding turbo encoded data. A first turbo decoding iteration is performed to produce a most likely sequence of symbols, each symbol having an amplitude value and a positive or negative sign. The sequence of symbols is error checked, and if an error is detected, the apparatus forms a next most likely sequence by reversing the positive or negative sign of the symbol having the smallest amplitude. If an error is again detected, additional sign reversals are performed on symbols with larger amplitudes, and on multiple symbols. Each modification is error checked. If none of the modifications produce an error-free sequence, and a maximum number of modifications are performed, the apparatus performs another turbo decoding iteration to produce another sequence of symbols. The process is then repeated until an error-free sequence is produced or a maximum number of iterations are performed.

    摘要: A receiver circuit suppresses effects of “benign” impairment from the calculation of received signal quality estimates, such that the estimate depends primarily on the effects of non-benign impairment. For example, a received signal may be subject to same-cell and other-cell interference plus noise, which is generally modeled using a Gaussian distribution, and also may be due to certain forms of self-interference, such as quadrature phase interference arising from imperfect derotation of the pilot samples used to generate channel estimates for the received signal. Such interference generally takes on a distribution defined by the pilot signal modulation, e.g., a binomial distribution for binary phase shift keying modulation. Interference arising from such sources is relatively “benign” as compared to Gaussian interference and thus should be suppressed or otherwise discounted in signal quality calculations. Suppression may be based on subtracting benign impairment correlation estimates from total impairment correlation estimates, or on filtering the benign impairment in channel estimation.

    摘要: A linear turbo-equalizer for use in a CDMA receiver equalizes a despread received signal (rather than the spread received signal) to suppress self-interference resulting from coupling between transmitted symbols. In an example implementation, a linear equalizer based on a generalized-Rake (G-Rake) receiver design uses decoder feedback in forming Rake combining weights as well as in forming a self-interference estimate removed from the equalizer signal provided to the decoder. Preferably, turbo de-coding is also performed. In that case, each turbo-decoder component preferably executes one pass before feeding back information to the equalizer. This ensures that the turbo-decoder does not prematurely lock onto an incorrect code word before feeding back extrinsic information to the equalizer.

    摘要: A wireless communication receiver obtains improved performance under certain fast fading conditions by basing one or more received signal processing operations on pre-despreading chip sample correlations rather than on post-despreading noise correlations, but preserves soft scaling information by determining one or more scaling factors that relate the chip sample correlations to the noise correlations. By way of non-limiting examples, a Generalized RAKE receiver circuit may base combining weight generation on chip sample correlations rather than on post-despreading pilot symbol noise correlations, but scale the combining weights as a function of the one or more scaling factors, or, equivalently, scale the combined values generated from the combining weights. Similar scaling may be performed with respect to chip equalization filter combining weights in a chip equalization receiver circuit. Further, Signal-to-Interference Ratio (SIR) estimation may be improved in terms of fast fading responsiveness by using chip sample correlations, while preserving the proper scaling.
