    摘要: The method includes acquiring a signal (501); inputting (502), at a first time, a received symbol to a demodulator having a plurality of outputs to produce a set of early outputs; inputting (504), at a second time, the received symbol to the demodulator to produce a set of on-time outputs; inputting (505), at a third time, the received symbol to the demodulator to produce a set of late outputs; and comparing (506) at least one output in the set of early outputs with at least one output in the set of late outputs to produce a timing measure.

    摘要: A receiver (200, 400) implements improved channel estimation. The receiver (200, 400) demodulates a transmitted signal, and makes an initial channel estimate (115). The receiver (200, 400) then makes a hard decision (301) as to whether the channel estimate was correct and groups samples representing the decision. A vector sum of the group of samples is computed (302), and each sample is compared to the vector sum (303). The sample having the largest projection on the vector sum is retained (304), and the other samples are considered noise, and are thus discarded (305). After obtaining a predetermined number of retained samples (306), the retained samples are used to generate an new channel estimate (226). Since the noisy estimates are discarded, the new channel estimate (226) contains fewer errors than the initial channel estimate (115). The new channel estimate (226) is used to generate decoded data (250).

    摘要: A method and apparatus is provided for facilitating coherent communication reception. A received reference symbol coded spread spectrum communication signal is despread with a spreading code to derive a stream of reference samples and a stream of data samples. The channel response is estimated by utilizing the stream of reference samples. An offset frequency detector determines an offset to be applied to the received signal via a frequency locked loop, while a timing control compensates for slow timing drift and fast fading based on power estimates derived from the stream of reference samples and/or the stream of data samples. A rate estimator determines the rate at which the information was encoded, and the rate information is used to optimize the timing control, frequency offset detector and channel estimator. Thus an improved detection of estimated data symbols from the stream of received data samples is provided.

    摘要: Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate monitoring RF channels in a wireless communication environment to determine whether one or more channels comprise a forward-link-only (FLO) signal. A receiver can receive a first RF channel with a FLO signal and can monitor other RF channels for FLO signals. Upon a determination that a monitored RF channel comprises a FLO signal, the receiver can switch between the first RF channel and the monitored RF channel, employing information on current MLC decoding status, to facilitate providing seamless reception of the FLO signal, which can be superframe synchronized between RF channels. FLO signal detection can be performed using one or more of a wide-area identification channel energy detection protocol and a wide-area overhead information symbol decoding error detection protocol.

    摘要: A method of initializing a receiver is performed during an initialization mode. Timing offset values for a timing recovery circuit are repeatedly selected. For each selected timing offset value, timing recovery is performed using the timing offset value and groups of weights for a decision feedback equalizer are repeatedly selected. Each selected group of weights is used to perform blind decision feedback equalization. For each selected group of weights, a metric indicating data reception quality is computed. A timing offset value and a group of weights are chosen based on the computed metrics.
