    摘要: A method determines the signal usability of an adjacent channel in a multi-cell communication system without the aid of synchronization symbols. In general, a three step search is used to arrive at the adjacent channel signal quality. The first step is a coarse timing phase search. This is accomplished through a signal quality estimates (606). The second step arrives at the optimum time phase by first interpolating (608) the received signal around the time phase selected in the first step to generate additional samples. After the interpolation (608), signal quality estimates are calculated (610) for the time phases immediately surrounding the time phase found in the first step. The optimum time phase corresponds to the maximum of these quality estimates. Finally, in the third step, the signal quality estimate is calculated for the optimum time phase. This provides the adjacent channel signal quality estimate desired.

    摘要: This invention extends Alamouti's scheme for wideband TDMA systems; it then works in conjunction with time-domain equalization. In fact, the present invention envisages time-domain DFE or MLSE equalization (which is more robust than linear frequency-domain equalization) via the use of a training mid-amble to separate adjacent sub-blocks; this mid-amble is used in equalizer training and its direct and inter-symbol interference contributions to the received signal, are subtractively eliminated to facilitate the detection process itself. This approach may be applied to all systems in time-dispersive propagation media, where the burst or slot length is short enough that the fading can be considered time-invariant over its duration.

    摘要: A diversity receiver that receives diverse modulated signals may produce a usable signal from the received modulated signals in the following manner. Two modulated signals, each including a desired component and an undesired component, are received by the diversity receiver, wherein each desired component includes an originally transmitted signal and each undesired component includes noise and interference. The diversity receiver estimates each desired and undesired component and produces the usable signal based on the estimated desired components and the estimated undesired components.

    摘要: To compensate the audio distortion resulting from amplitude and phase imbalance in the quadrature oscillator (103) and mixers (105, 115) in zero-IF downconverters (203), a balancing action is required. An apparatus for distortion compensation compensates for the amplitude and phase imbalance to reduce audio distortion. This is accomplished by determining (309) two gain values, which are combined (217, 227, 229) with the in-phase and quadrature components of the zero-IF downconverter (203) to compensate for the imbalance.

    摘要: A wireless communication system (100) that includes a plurality of base sites (101-103) employs a method and apparatus for determining a location of a communication unit (107) in the system. Upon transmission of an information signal (109) by the communication unit, each of the base sites receives the transmitted information signal. A serving base site (e.g., 103) determines a stream of information symbols from the information signal, derives timing information based on the information signal and the stream of information symbols, and conveys the stream of information symbols preferably to at least two non-serving base sites (101-102). The non-serving base sites determine respective timing information based on the information signal received from the communication unit and the stream of information symbols received from the serving base site. The location of the communication unit is then determined by either a base site or a stand-alone processing device (105) based on the serving base site's and non-serving base site's timing information.

    摘要: In a diversity reception communication system (200), a method is provided for recovering data symbols (213) from a transmitted signal. Multiple signals representing the transmitted signal are received via corresponding multiple reception paths (201, 202). For each reception path, values are determined for noise (206), channel quality (207), and for a weighting factor (209) as a function of the channel quality. The signals are processed using diversity combining (212) which includes the weighting factor (209) for each reception path, to provide a resultant signal that more likely represents the transmitted signal than any of the received signals alone. The data symbols (213) are recovered from the resultant signal.
