摘要： 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.

摘要： In a transmitter for transmitting communication signals across a radio channel, an improved encoder includes a half-rate encoder receiving a digitized speech signal and generating a compressed bit stream at half-rate, and a signal expander receiving the compressed bit stream and generating an expanded bit stream at full-rate for transmission across a radio channel. An improved receiver, receives the transmitted communication signal which is selected from the group consisting of (a) a conventional full-rate encoded digitized speech signal, and (b) a half-rate encoded digitized speech signal including the expanded bit stream. The improved receiver includes a full-rate equalizer, a half-rate equalizer, and a switch initially routing the received digitized speech signal to the full-rate equalizer, wherein the full-rate equalizer demodulates the received digitized speech signal producing a full-rate demodulated signal and dibits of soft information corresponding to the full-rate demodulated signal. An analyzer analyzes the dibits of soft information and controls the switch to route the received digitized speech signal to one of the full-rate and half-rate equalizers based upon the analysis.

摘要： A transmitter, channel coder, and method for coding and transmitting a sequence of symbols in a digital communication system utilizing soft pilot symbols. In one embodiment, the transmitter transmits a set of soft pilot symbols with higher reliability than the remaining symbols in the sequence by modulating the soft pilot symbols with a lower order modulation such as BPSK or QPSK while modulating the remaining symbols with a higher order modulation such as 16 QAM or 64 QAM. The transmitter shares the modulation type and location (time/frequency/code) of the soft pilot symbols with a receiver. Unlike traditional fixed pilots, the soft pilots still carry some data. Additionally, the soft pilots are particularly helpful in establishing the amplitude reference essential in demodulating the higher order modulation symbols. In another embodiment, soft pilot symbols are inserted by low-level puncturing of channel encoded bits and replacing the punctured bits with known bit patterns.

摘要： A parallel interference cancellation (PIC) receiver incrementally removes interference from signals in parallel modules in successive stages. For each desired signal, as interfering signals are removed, corresponding updates to a data covariance matrix are modeled as computationally tractable rank-one updates to a root matrix of the covariance matrix. Processing of signals and/or covariance information may be initiated, continued, and/or halted at various stages, e.g., in response to signal or data quality. The PIC receiver using root matrix updates is applicable to a variety of demodulation techniques.

摘要： A wireless communication device includes a Generalized RAKE (G-RAKE) receiver circuit that is configured to determine a traffic-to-pilot gain scaling parameter as part of the impairment correlation determination process that underlies (G-RAKE) combining weight generation. In this manner, the receiver circuit conveniently and accurately accounts for gain differences between the pilot channel of a received CDMA signal, as used for channel estimation, and the traffic channel(s) of the CDMA signal, which carry received data to be recovered. The gain difference accounting enables proper demodulation of amplitude-modulated traffic signals. By way of non-limiting example, such gain scaling may be used for demodulating/decoding High Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) signals used in Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (W-CDMA) systems.

摘要： A method of processing a received communication signal comprises calculating a traffic-to-pilot scaling factor by relating data correlations determined from despread traffic values obtained from the received communication signal-to-noise correlations determined from despread pilot values obtained from the received communication signal, and generating traffic symbol estimates by combining corresponding ones of the despread traffic values using combining weights calculated from the data correlations. Generating combining weights in this manner provides, among other things, Minimum Mean Square Error (MMSE) estimations for the received traffic symbols that inherently are properly scaled in amplitude relative to symbol values in a reference modulation constellation. By obtaining proper scaling as part of combining weight generation, the receiver need not make an explicit estimate of symbol power to obtain proper soft value information, and the estimated traffic symbols may be compared directly with the reference constellation.

摘要： A method and apparatus for a multi-branch wireless receiver for periodically sampling first and second received signals corresponding to first and second receiver branches at first and second sample times to generate offset sample streams. The offset sample streams are then combined in a combining circuit to reduce interference present in the received signals. In an exemplary embodiment, a multi-branch wireless receiver includes an offset circuit to generate first and second offset sample times. A first sampler periodically samples the first received signal at the first sample time to generate a first sample stream and a second sampler periodically samples the second received signal at the second sample time to generate a second sample stream offset from the first sample stream. The combining circuit comprises a RAKE receiver that reduces the interference by scaling and combining despread values generated from the offset sample streams.
