摘要:
This disclosure describes equalization techniques for spread spectrum wireless communication. The techniques may involve estimating a channel impulse response, estimating channel variance, and selecting filter coefficients for an equalizer based on the estimated channel impulse response and the estimated channel variance. Moreover, in accordance with this disclosure, the channel variance estimation involves estimation of two or more co-variances for different received samples. Importantly, the equalizer is “fractionally spaced,” which means that the equalizer defines fractional filtering coefficients (filter taps), unlike conventional equalizers that presume that filter coefficients are defined at integer chip spacing. The techniques can allow the equalizer to account for antenna diversity, such as receive diversity, transmit diversity, or possibly both.

A method for quantizing decision metrics (e.g., log likelihood ratios (LLRs)) for reduction of memory requirements in wireless communication is described. The method includes selecting a quantization algorithm. The quantization algorithm may be selected as a function of a characteristic of a decision metric representative of a transport block received over a communication channel, a characteristic of the transport block, or a condition of the communication channel. The method further includes quantizing the decision metric using the selected quantization algorithm to generate at least one quantized decision metric representative of the transport block. The method further includes storing the quantized decision metric and an indicia of the selected quantization algorithm to enable recovery of the decision metric representative of the transport block prior to decoding.

A method for interference reduction is described. The method is implemented in a wireless device. It is determined that a page is going to be received via a secondary receiver. It is also determined that a digital-to-analog converter (DAC) image from a transmitter will cause interference with the secondary receiver when the page is received. A sampling frequency of the DAC for the transmitter is changed so that there are not any DAC images from the transmitter that will cause interference with the secondary receiver.

An N-dimension addressable memory is disclosed. The memory includes an N-dimension array of bit cells and logic configured to address each bit cell using N-Dimension Addressing (NDA), where N is at least two and the array of bit cells is addressable by N orthogonal address spaces. Each bit cell of the N-dimension addressable memory includes a bit storage element, N word lines, and N bit lines.

A method of operation of a mobile telecommunication system includes: measuring a measured target power and a measured server power; predicting a future target power and a future server power for a prediction tap number from when the measured target power and the measured server power are measured; computing an estimation error and a prediction error associated with the future target power and the future server power; determining a handoff hysteresis level based on the estimation error and the prediction error; and sending a handoff trigger for transferring a mobile station from a server station to a target station when the future target power minus both the future server power and the handoff hysteresis level is greater than zero.
摘要:
A direct downconversion receiver architecture having a DC loop to remove DC offset from the signal components, a digital variable gain amplifier (DVGA) to provide a range of gains, an automatic gain control (AGC) loop to provide gain control for the DVGA and RF/analog circuitry, and a serial bus interface (SBI) unit to provide controls for the RF/analog circuitry via a serial bus. The DVGA may be advantageously designed and located as described herein. The operating mode of the VGA loop may be selected based on the operating mode of the DC loop, since these two loops interact with one another. The duration of time the DC loop is operated in an acquisition mode may be selected to be inversely proportional to the DC loop bandwidth in the acquisition mode. The controls for some or all of the RF/analog circuitry may be provided via the serial bus.
