    摘要: RF communications received by a wireless terminal from a servicing base station are used to determine the BEP. These RF communications may be in the form of RF bursts that are part of a data frame. The signal to noise ratio (SNR) of the RF burst is determined and a sequence of soft decisions from the RF burst are extracted. The SNR maps to an estimated BEP based upon the modulation format and coding scheme of the RF burst. The soft decisions decode to produce a data block. When the soft decisions decoded favorably, the re-encoded data block produces a sequence of re-encoded decisions. Comparing the re-encoded decisions to the soft decisions yields a re-encoded bit error (RBER). When the decoding is unsuccessful, the BEP is estimated only upon the estimated BEP derived from the SNR. Otherwise, both the estimated BEP and RBER may be used to determine the BEP.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus for acquiring and verifying a code used by a base station. Acquisition time is reduced and circuitry simplified by performing Phase I and Phase II acquisitions in series, but in parallel with Phase III acquisition and verification, which are done in series. Phase III code acquisition is done by despreading the input signal using each of the possible codes in a code group. An estimation of the frequency offset between the base station and the terminal's local reference is used to correct the phase of the despread signals, which are coherently and non-coherently integrated. The largest accumulated value corresponds to the code used by the base station. The code is verified by despreading the received signal, applying a frequency correction, and demodulating. The demodulated output is a series of symbols, and a count of these symbols verifies the acquired code.

    摘要: Determining whether a first wireless terminal may transmit on an uplink to a servicing base station in a cellular wireless communication system includes first receiving a plurality of a Radio Frequency (RF) bursts at a wireless terminal from a servicing base station. These RF bursts carry a data block containing both Uplink Status Flag (USF) bits and Data bits. Data bits may or may not be intended for the receiving wireless terminal. The RF bursts are processed to produce the data block in an encoded format. This data block is then partially decoded to extract the USF bits when the data bits are not intended for the receiving wireless terminal. These USF bits determine when the receiving wireless terminal can transmit or uplink to the servicing base station. The partial decoding may be halted once the USF bits have been extracted from the received data block to reduce power consumption and processing requirements.

    摘要: A channel dispersion estimation algorithm(s) may be implemented within a channel length estimation module of a multi-branch equalizer processing module that disables a branch of the multi-branch equalizer processing module when the channel length or channel delay spread associated with received radio frequency (RF) bursts exceeds a predetermined threshold. The channel dispersion estimation algorithm identifies when the radio frequency (RF) bursts have a channel length or channel delay spread that can affect receiver performance. The channel length estimation module may disable interference cancellation by a branch of the multi-branch equalizer processing module in response to such a channel length or channel delay spread.

    摘要: This invention provides channel dispersion estimation algorithm(s). This channel dispersion estimation algorithm(s) may be implemented within a channel length estimation module of a single-branch or multi-branch equalizer processing module that enables interference cancellation when the channel length or channel delay spread associated with received radio frequency (RF) bursts compares unfavorably to predetermined thresholds. The channel dispersion estimation algorithm identifies when the radio frequency (RF) bursts have a channel length or channel delay spread that can affect receiver performance. The channel length estimation module may disable interference cancellation in response to such a channel length or channel delay spread. Additionally, the channel length estimation module may adjust the number of equalizer states for the single-branch or first branch of a multi-branch equalizer based the channel length or channel delay spread. The multi-branch equalizer improves the signal-to-noise ratio by improving the equalization by selectively disabling interference cancellation and adjusting the number of equalizer states for the single-branch or first branch equalizer.
