摘要： An apparatus for reducing storage requirements and for allowing reuse of multiple rake fingers in a spread spectrum system includes a decimation circuit having an associated decimation factor, a memory coupled to the decimation circuit, and an interpolation circuit having an interpolation factor coupled to the memory. The decimation circuit decimates the sampling rate of received data to produce a decimated rate. The received data is stored in the memory at the decimated rate. The decimated rate is later increased by the interpolation circuit by the interpolation factor when the stored data is retrieved from the memory. The memory is a circular buffer or a single port RAM that is accessible by multiple rake fingers substantially simultaneously via selector circuits.

摘要： Calculating of signal-to-interference ratio (SIR) of a mobile device in a wireless communication system. A communication signal transmitted by the mobile device is non-coherently processed. Interference power of the communication signal is estimated and then scaled, and the scaled estimated interference power is subtracted from the processed communication signal to thereby estimate signal power. The SIR is calculated by dividing the estimated signal power by the estimated interference power.

摘要： An apparatus and method for calculating and implementing a Fibonacci mask for a code generator is disclosed herein. The first step receives a desired code offset from a reference code state in a Fibonacci field. Next, a field vector in a Galois field with the same code offset sought in the first field is calculated. In the next step, the first field vector is transformed into a second field vector, which is operable as a mask in the Galois LFSR. The transform step is accomplished by multiplying the Galois field vector by a linear N×N transformation matrix to obtain the Fibonacci field vector. And the N×N transformation matrix is obtained from iterated states of the Fibonacci LFSR.
