Abstract:
A digital timing synchronizer of a receiver is provided for timing synchronization to a transmitter in a wireless communication system, wherein the received signal has a timing error with respect to a reference code. A channel estimator (11) estimates an initial code phase of the received signal. A code generator (13) generates a timing reference code that is adjustable by integer increments. An interpolation feedback circuit (35) is configured for interpolation and correction of the timing error, whereby the interpolation (14) is achieved through an integer code shift, plus a quantized fractional adjustment selected from a look-up table of quantized fractional adjustment values and their associated predetermined interpolator coefficients, from which a time corrected version of the received signal is produced.
Abstract:
A method for determining the validity of a most significant path in a wireless communication system wherein data is transmitted in frame units in a multipath environment begins by accumulating a correlated data sequence N times, each time at a frame offset apart from the previous time. A preliminary noise estimate (PNE) is calculated as an average of the accumulated data values. A preliminary noise threshold (PNT) is calculated according to the equation C1xPNE. A final noise estimate (FNE) is calculated as the average of accumulated data values below the PNT. A final noise threshold (FNT) is calculated according to the equation C2xFNE. The validity of the most significant path is determined if the most significant path value is greater than the FNT.

Abstract:
The present invention is related to a method and apparatus for implementing space frequency block coding (SFBC) in an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) wireless communication system. The present invention is applicable to both a closed loop mode and an open loop mode. In the closed loop mode, power loading and eigen-beamforming are performed based on channel state information (CSI). A channel coded data stream is multiplexed into two or more data streams. Power loading is performed based on the CSI on each of the multiplexed data streams. SFBC encoding is performed on the data streams for each of the paired subcarriers. Then, eigen-beamforming is performed based on the CSI to distribute eigenbeams to multiple transmit antennas. The power loading may be performed on two or more SFBC encoding blocks or on each eigenmodes. Additionally, the power loading may be performed across subcarriers or subcarrier groups for weak eigenmodes.
Abstract:
A method and system for uplink (UL) synchronization of an uplink transmission from a plurality of wireless transmit/receive units (WTRUs) to a Node-B in a code division multiple access (CDMA) system. A Node-B receives a transmission including a UL synchronization (SYNC_UL) sequence from a WTRU. A sampler samples the transmission at a sampling rate which is higher than a chip rate. The samples are down-sampled and the SYNC_UL sequence is detected at a lower rate. A first significant path location of the detected SYNC_UL sequence is determined, and based on the first significant path location, a final significant path location is determined. The final significant path location is quantized and UpPCHPOS is transmitted to the WTRU to adjust a UL transmission timing.
Abstract:
The UE is in communication with one of the plurality of base stations and receives a communication signal from the base station through the CDMA receiver. The communication signal is correlated by said receiver using a delay locked code tracking loop (10), that estimates and tracks a channel delay of the communication signal. The tracking loop comprises a reference code generator (16) for generating a reference code signal and an interpolator (11) for generating timed signal versions in response to the receipt of said communication. A timed signal correlator (12a, 12b, 13a; 13b), also included in the tracking loop for correlating at least two of the timed signal versions with the code reference signal. The result of the correlation is used for generating an error signal. An automatic power normalization loop (APN), that is responsive to the interpolator (11), generates a power error signal that normalizes the error signal through a normalization circuit (14).
