Abstract:
Components and method are provided to efficiently process wireless communications data where prior knowledge of the specific format of the communication data is not available. A wireless transmit receive unit (WTRU) is configured for use in a wireless communication system where communication data for selected channels is transmitted in system time frames in formats selected from among a set of predefined formats. The WTRU has a receiver, a memory, a received chip rate processor (RCRP), a format detector and a de-interleaver. The RCRP is preferably configured to despread each wireless signal of spread data received in each time frame using a minimum spreading code or other appropriate key sequence and to store resultant despread data for each respective time frame in the memory. The format detector is preferably configured to determine the number of physical channels and the respective spreading factor for each physical channel for the wireless signal of spread data received in each time frame. The de-interleaver is preferably configured to de-interleave the stored data despread by the RCRP for each respective time frame into the number of physical channels determined by the format detector for the respective time frame.
Abstract:
A Node-B/base station has a path searcher and at least one antenna for receiving signals from users. The path searcher comprises a set of correlators. Each correlator correlates an inputted user code with an inputted antenna output of the at least one antenna. An antenna controller selectively couples any output of the at least one antenna to an input of each correlator of the set of correlators. A code phase controller selects a user code for input into the set of correlators. Each delay of a series of delays delays the selected user code by a predetermined amount and each correlator of the set of correlators receives a different code phase delay of the selected user code. A sorter and path selector sorts the output energy levels of each correlator of the sets of correlators and produces a path profile for a user based on the sorted output energy levels.
Abstract:
A wireless transmit receive unit (WTRU) and methods are used in a wireless communication system to process sampled received signals to establish and/or maintain wireless communications. A selectively controllable coherent accumulation unit produces power delay profiles (PDPs). A selectively controllable post processing unit passes threshold qualified magnitude approximation values and PDP positions to a device such as a rake receiver to determine receive signal paths.
Abstract:
A system for generating pseudorandom codes using a register which contains an identification of the code tree leg of the desired code and a counter which outputs a successive binary sequence. The output from the counter is bit-by-bit ANDed with the output of the register, and those outputs are XORed together to output a single bit. As the counter is sequenced, each count results in a different bit that is output from the XOR gate, resulting in the desired code.
Abstract:
A Node-B/base station has an access burst detector. The access burst detector comprises at least one antenna for receiving signals from users and a pool of reconfigurable correlators. Each correlator correlates an inputted access burst code at an inputted code phase with an inputted antenna output. An antenna controller selectively couples any output of the at least one antenna to an input of any of the correlators. A code controller provides to an input of each correlator an access burst code. The code controller controls the inputted code phase of each controller. A sorter/post processor sorts output energy levels of the correlators.
Abstract:
A physical layer transport composite processing system used in a wireless communication system. A plurality of interconnected processing blocks are provided. The blocks are interconnected by a read data bus, a write data bus and a control bus. The blocks include a transport channel processing block, a composite channel processing block and a chip rate processing block. At least two of the blocks are capable of processing data for a plurality of wireless formats. A first set of parameters is programmed into the blocks for a particular wireless mode. The blocks are operated to process data in the particular wireless format mode.
Abstract:
The sliding window approach to pipeline maximum a posteriori (MAP) decoder architecture is modified to decrease processing time. Once the forward metrics have been calculated for the first sliding window of the decoder, the reverse metrics for each window are calculated while the forward metrics for the next window are calculated. As each new forward metric is calculated and stored into memory, the forward metric from the previous window is read from memory for use with reverse metric being calculated in calculating extrinsic value. Each forward metric for use in calculating an extrinsic value is read from memory on the same clock edge that the new forward metric is written to the same memory location. Although this architecture was developed for a turbo decoder, all convolution codes can use the MAP algorithm of the present invention.
