摘要:
In a receive node of a wireless network, an iterative multi-user multi-stage interference cancellation receiver is used. The receiver performs code-averaged equalization and chip chip-level code-specific interference over-cancellation on the received signals. This can result in a unified interference cancellation processing, and can avoid cumbersome calculations of code cross correlations that is required in symbol-level interference cancellation. A symbol-level code-averaged desired signal add-back is performed to address the over-cancellation of some desired signals.

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.

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 finger placement strategy is used in which after each stage of interference cancellation, finger delays and combining weights of the receiver are adapted to reflect the changed interference characteristics.

摘要:
A CDMA multi-code joint demodulation solution in which impairment suppression and channel matching operations are performed prior to despreading. Embodiments include a linear front end that performs chip-level suppression of signal components that are not included in a subsequent joint demodulation process. The pre-processing stage also carries out metric preparation and provides a vector decision statistic that is processed by a joint demodulation stage to extract per-code soft values for the symbols of interest in the received signal. Both code-specific and code-averaged versions of the linear processing are disclosed, as are several front-end configurations with equivalent performance, but different complexity trade-offs. These new approaches use a block formulation, requiring a set of input chip samples as an input, and perform all operations as matrix-vector multiplications, which is an approach amenable to efficient DSP or hardware implementation.

摘要:
In one aspect, the present invention improves Turbo equalization and/or soft interference cancellation processing in communication receivers by providing an efficient and accurate technique to compute the second moment of a received symbol, e.g., an interfering symbol, as a function of the expected bit values of only those bits in the symbol that are magnitude-controlling bits according to a defined modulation constellation. Advantageously, the expected bit values in at least one embodiment are computed using a LUT that maps bit LLRs to corresponding hyperbolic tangent function values. Further, the expected symbol value is computed as a linear function of terms comprising the expected bit values and the soft symbol variance is efficiently computed from the second moment and the expected symbol value squared. This simplified processing reduces receiver complexity, particularly in the context of modulation constellations having non-constant magnitudes, and thus saves power and/or improves design economics.

A method in a node is disclosed. The method comprises receiving a signal, and obtaining a first oversampled received signal by sampling the received signal according to a symbol rate. The method further comprises estimating a first frequency offset based on the first oversampled received signal, the first frequency offset estimated using an estimation range limited to one of a bandwidth of the received signal or the symbol rate of the received signal, and obtaining a second oversampled received signal by sampling the received signal according to N times the symbol rate, wherein N is greater than 1. The method further comprises estimating a true frequency offset based on the first frequency offset estimate and the second oversampled received signal.

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.
