摘要:
An improved system and method for rate detection of transmitted signals is disclosed for use in a IS-95 CDMA downlink. For each speech frame, one of four possible bit rates is used to encode the frame according to the standard. The present invention describes a receiver and various processes that are able to detect which rate was sent without the aid of flag bits or other mode indication information. According to various embodiments of the invention different rate detection processes which can exploit additional code information, such as CRC checks and convolutional coding, are disclosed.
摘要:
Methods and systems are provided which generate hard and soft values from signal samples of a differentially encoded signal by estimating channel coefficients associated with the received signal and determining metrics for each possible symbol pair which indicate the probability of a possible coherent symbol pair being encoded in the signal samples using the estimated channel coefficients and the signal samples. Soft values associated with differential bits or differential symbols encoded in the samples of the signal are then generated based on the determined metrics.
摘要:
Methods and systems are provided which utilize pilots in an information sequence to periodically retrain a channel estimator. Thus, a channel tracker may be synchronized using a synchronization sequence and then periodically retrained using known pilot symbols. Furthermore, the utilization of pilots may allow for the detection of errors in previous channel estimates. When errors are detected, a new channel estimate may be used based on the retraining using the pilot symbols and, optionally, previous errors in symbol estimation may be corrected. Thus, by retraining based on pilot symbols, the propagation of errors may be reduced.
