摘要:
A delay-and-add filtering technique positions one or more filter nulls substantially at points of narrowband interference in a relatively wideband received signal. For example, the technique is useful in removing adjacent channel interference in a received W-CDMA signal caused GSM radio transmissions.

Exemplary received signal processing may be based on maintaining a model of received signal impairment correlations, wherein each term of the model is updated periodically or as needed based on measuring impairments for a received signal of interest. An exemplary model comprises an interference impairment term scaled by a first model fitting parameter, and a noise impairment term scaled by a second model fitting parameters. The model terms may be maintained based on current channel estimates and delay information and may be fitted to measured impairment by adapting the model fitting parameters based on the measured impairment. The modeled received signal impairment correlations may be used to compute RAKE combining weights for received signal processing, or to compute Signal-to-Interference (SIR) estimates. Combined or separate models may be used for multiple received signals. As such, the exemplary modeling is extended to soft handoff, multiple antennas, and other diversity situations.

A coding system is disclosed wherein the receive side includes a decoder capable of producing, in addition to the hard information decoded output, either or both symbol and/or bit soft information values. For a certain information bit position, a value proportional to the joint probability that a received symbol and the set of all hypothesized transmitted codewords that led to the estimated or detected hard information output is calculated. The calculated probabilities with respect to plural codewords having a zero in that certain information bit position are compared to the calculated probabilities with respect to the plural codewords having a one in that certain information bit position. The result of the comparison provides an indication of whether the hard information output in that same information bit position is more likely a one or a zero. The output soft information values are further processed in comparison to a preset threshold, with instances exceeding the threshold triggering block rejections and/or retransmissions.

A transceiver transmits signals with power control bits, the power control bits instructing the other transceiver to establish selected power levels for its return signal. In one form, a processor is adapted to determine channel coefficients for the pilot symbols as a function of both (1) the selected power levels of the other transceiver signal and (2) the difference between the predetermined pilot symbols and the pilot symbols as received by the receiver. The processor then interpolates channel coefficients for all symbols in the received signals based on the determined pilot symbol channel coefficients. In an alternate form, the processor uses a selected auto-correlation function which takes into account the selected power levels of the other transceiver signal to calculate an interpolation filter. In this alternate form, the processor then uses the calculated interpolation filter and channel coefficients for the pilot symbols to interpolate channel coefficients for symbols between the pilot symbols. A demodulator demodulates all received symbols based on the interpolated channel coefficients.
摘要:
A wireless communication receiver receiving a multiplexed signal comprising two or more signal streams calculates a received signal quality for the multiplexed signal as a function of stream-specific received signal qualities, determines one or more loss parameters indicative of variations in the stream-specific received signal qualities, and generates quality feedback based on such information. In turn, a transmitter controls the selection of one or more transmission parameters of the multiplexed signal based on the quality feedback, such that its transmit link adaptations account for the losses in received signal quality at the receiver arising from the variations in the stream-specific received signal qualities. The quality feedback may include calculated loss values, or parameter/penalties that permit loss calculation, and the method applies to both code multiplexing and spatial multiplexing.
摘要:
A receiver circuit suppresses effects of “benign” impairment from the calculation of received signal quality estimates, such that the estimate depends primarily on the effects of non-benign impairment. For example, a received signal may be subject to same-cell and other-cell interference plus noise, which is generally modeled using a Gaussian distribution, and also may be due to certain forms of self-interference, such as quadrature phase interference arising from imperfect derotation of the pilot samples used to generate channel estimates for the received signal. Such interference generally takes on a distribution defined by the pilot signal modulation, e.g., a binomial distribution for binary phase shift keying modulation. Interference arising from such sources is relatively “benign” as compared to Gaussian interference and thus should be suppressed or otherwise discounted in signal quality calculations. Suppression may be based on subtracting benign impairment correlation estimates from total impairment correlation estimates, or on filtering the benign impairment in channel estimation.

In a time division multiple access (TDMA) satellite radiotelephone communications system, a radiotelephone communicates random access channel radiotelephone communications signals to a satellite over a dedicated random access channel uplink carrier frequency band. In response, a time division multiple access channel on a time division multiplexed uplink carrier frequency band different from the dedicated random access channel uplink carrier frequency band is assigned. The radiotelephone communicates time division multiplexed radiotelephone communications signals to the satellite over the allocated time division multiple access channel. Random access channel radiotelephone communications signals may be communicated to the satellite from a first radiotelephone over a first dedicated random access channel uplink carrier frequency band or from a second radiotelephone over a second dedicated random access channel uplink carrier frequency band different from said first dedicated random access channel uplink carrier frequency band. For a system in which the satellite communicates radiotelephone communications signals to radiotelephones located in a first coverage area and communicates radiotelephone communications signals to radiotelephones located in a second coverage area, random access channel radiotelephone communications signals may be communicated over a first dedicated random access uplink carrier frequency band if the radiotelephone is located in the first coverage area or communicating random access radiotelephone communications signals over a second dedicated random access channel uplink carrier frequency band different from the first dedicated random access uplink carrier band if the radiotelephone is located in the second coverage area.

The method an apparatus described herein manages uplink resources to increase spectral efficiency and system capacity. According to one embodiment of the present invention, a base station may be assigned two or more downlink carriers for downlink transmission and two or more corresponding uplink carriers. In a multi-carrier mode, the base station may transmit signals on two or more downlink carriers to the same mobile terminal, and receive signals from the mobile terminal on one of the paired uplink terminals. The uplink carriers can be operated at different interference levels and the uplink traffic can be divided between the available uplink carriers based on the type of traffic and/or data transmission parameters. The mobile terminals may also be allowed to switch between the uplink carriers to improve overall efficiency.
摘要:
In a receive node of a wireless network, an iterative multi-user multi-stage interference cancellation receiver is used. After each stage of interference cancellation, interference characteristics change. An adaptive strategy is used in which after each stage of interference cancellation, impairment covariance is parametrically updated and combining weights of the receiver are adapted to reflect the updated impairment covariance.

A receiver is configured to perform symbol detection based on a total frequency domain received signal that comprises contribution from a block of time domain symbols. The receiver comprises electronic circuitry operate to divide the block into plural sub-blocks, and for each sub-block, to jointly detect the symbols of the sub-block while treating symbols of the block which are outside of the sub-block as noise.
