Abstract:
A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRLJ) 11 uses an oscillator providing accuracy for synchronized communications parameters in an active mode (Fig. 1 , WTRLJ 11), and operates at reduced power during a discontinuous reception (DRX) mode (Fig. 1 WTRU 12). A real time clock (RTC) 28 is used as the frequency standard during the reduced power operation, and a frequency adjustment is effected while the RTC 28 is used as the frequency standard. By effecting the frequency adjustment, the RTC 28 is able to be used as the frequency standard for substantial time periods, thereby reducing power consumption of the WTRU 12 during the DRX mode.
Abstract:
A method for initial downlink transmit power adjustment for non-real time services in a wireless communications network begins by estimating an initial downlink transmit power level for non-real-time services. The estimated power level is then compared with a threshold. A determination is made whether an increase in the estimated power level would affect neighboring cells. If an increase would not affect neighboring cells, then the initial downlink transmit power level is adjusted by a predetermined amount.

Abstract:
A channel estimate generator generates a plurality of channel estimates and a Doppler frequency estimator uses two or more channel estimates to generate a Doppler frequency estimate. The Doppler frequency estimator generates the Doppler frequency estimate by calculating the normalized distance between two consecutive channel estimates. A receiver uses the Doppler frequency estimate to either (1) adjust the receiver, (2) estimate the velocity of the receiver, (3) determine whether it is necessary to search for new paths, or (4) predict or track new paths. The receiver can use a moving average of Doppler frequency estimates or a weighted combination of Doppler frequency estimates from different paths of a received signal to calculate the Doppler frequency estimate.

A terrestrial radio system for delivering to consumers data transmission services, Internet services, two-way capabilities and single-channel or multi-channel video programming, including national, regional and local television broadcast signals, as well as an apparatus and method thereof. The terrestrial radio system transmits terrestrial signals 6 at satellite-allocated frequencies while mitigating interference with satellite signals 52 to reuse satellite-allocated frequencies.

A method of finding a maximum likelihood solution for, comprising: providing a sample vector; iteratively match-filtering said sample vector with a coefficient matrix to find a gradient; using the gradient to search for a maximum likelihood solution; and deciding if a found solution of vector data is good enough.
Abstract:
A signal detector employs a coherent accumulation system that coherently combines the correlation results derived from segments of samples of a received signal. The segments may have non-uniform lengths and may have been obtained over different and non-overlapping time periods. The segments are obtained during sampling windows of arbitrary length and at arbitrary times, and the results of processing the segments are successively combined in a coherent manner (separate magnitude and phase accumulation) until a threshold signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) has been achieved. Coherent integration is enabled by introducing a carrier phase offset as well as a code phase offset, so that different segments are aligned in carrier phase as well as code phase. Although not limited to this application, in one implementation example, the signal detector is used in connection with and as part of a global positioning system (GPS) receiver.
Abstract:
A residual phase error compensating circuit (104) performs delay detection of pilot symbols contained in an OFDM signal to compensate the residual phase error of the OFDM signal. A propagation distortion compensating circuit (105) compensates the propagation distortion of the OFDM signal by using the re-encoding signal as a known signal.
Abstract:
A measuring system capable of a high-accuracy reception level measurement despite a high Doppler frequency and large phase variations. An approximate straight line estimating means (2) approximates a signal amplitude in a demodulation data sequence as a straight line with a time width according to a Doppler frequency estimation value. A phase rotation amount estimating means (3) estimates a phase rotation amount based on the approximate straight line. A Doppler frequency estimating means (4) estimates a Doppler frequency based on the phase rotation amount. A data delaying means (5) delays a demodulation data sequence by a time required for approximate straight line estimate-processing. A reception signal power estimating means (6) estimates a reception signal power based on the approximate straight line. A noise power estimating means (7) estimates a noise power by recognizing the signal amplitude difference between the demodulation data sequence and the approximate straight line as noise components. An average-processing means (8) outputs a reception-level measured value for each time slot based on the estimated power values from the reception signal power estimating means (6) and the noise power estimating means (7).
Abstract:
A Doppler spread for a communications channel is measured by providing an estimate of the communications channel and generating an autocorrelation function for the estimate of the communications channel. One of a plurality of autocorrelation function hypotheses is selected to approximate the autocorrelation function for the estimate of the communications channel wherein each of the autocorrelation function hypotheses corresponds to a respective Doppler spread estimate hypothesis. One of the Doppler spread estimate hypotheses is selected corresponding to the selected autocorrelation function hypotheses as an estimate of the Doppler spread for the communications channel.
