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： A wireless communication receiver obtains improved performance under certain fast fading conditions by basing one or more received signal processing operations on pre-despreading chip sample correlations rather than on post-despreading noise correlations, but preserves soft scaling information by determining one or more scaling factors that relate the chip sample correlations to the noise correlations. By way of non-limiting examples, a Generalized RAKE receiver circuit may base combining weight generation on chip sample correlations rather than on post-despreading pilot symbol noise correlations, but scale the combining weights as a function of the one or more scaling factors, or, equivalently, scale the combined values generated from the combining weights. Similar scaling may be performed with respect to chip equalization filter combining weights in a chip equalization receiver circuit. Further, Signal-to-Interference Ratio (SIR) estimation may be improved in terms of fast fading responsiveness by using chip sample correlations, while preserving the proper scaling.

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 receive station of the present invention despreads a received signal over both long and short despreading periods to determine individual channel estimates over each symbol period of an extended period for multiple pilot signals. As a result, the present invention provides channel estimates sufficient for both slow and fast fading conditions. The receive station determines an average channel estimate for each of the pilot signals over the extended period by despreading the received signal over the extended period using mutually orthogonal extended spreading sequences. The receive station further determines a combined channel estimate for the pilot signals over each symbol period of the extended period by despreading the received signal over each symbol period using a common spreading sequence. Based on the average and combined channel estimates, the receive station determines individual channel estimates for each pilot signal over each symbol period of the extended period.

摘要： Methods and apparatus for processing a composite communication signal comprising two or more received signals of interest are disclosed. An interference-suppressing receiver, which may comprise a G-Rake receiver or a linear chip equalizer, utilizes a square-root covariance matrix in processing received signals, where the square-root covariance matrix represents impairment covariance or data covariance for the composite communication signal. In an exemplary method, a receiver detects symbols, corresponding to a signal of interest, from the composite communication signal, using processing weights calculated from a square-root covariance matrix and a net channel response for the signal of interest. The method further comprises calculating a reconstructed version of the signal of interest from the detected first symbols, generating an updated communication signal by subtracting the reconstructed version of the first signal of interest from the composite communication signal, and updating the square-root covariance matrix to obtain an updated square-root covariance matrix.

摘要： A signaling protocol for an infrastructureless short range communication system uses slow frequency hopping compatible with the industrial/scientific/medical (ISM) frequency spectrum. The signaling protocol utilizes a multi-tiered structure having an acknowledgment request frame (200), ping frame (300), connect frame (400) and voice frame (500). These frames are used to determine an appropriate allocation of frequency spectrum from an initiating station (11') to at least one other non-initiating station (11). The signaling protocol allows an initiating station (11') to rapidly identify other stations (11) within a talk group (13) and resolve actual and/or potential collisions to establish clear and reliable infrastructureless communication.
