    Abstract: A velocity estimate is determined from a received signal by counting the number of times a signal in one multipath crosses a predetermined threshold in a given amount of time. A signal is received and a single multipath is extracted from the received signal. Instantaneous envelope values of the extracted multipath are calculated. A plurality of the instantaneous envelope values are used to calculate a running RMS value. A level crossing threshold is determined using the running RMS value. The number of times the instantaneous envelope value crosses the level crossing threshold is counted. The number of level crossings is mapped to a velocity estimate.

    Abstract: A system for facilitating the detection and successful decoding of a quick paging channel adapted for use with a wireless communications system supporting a primary paging channel and a quick paging channel. The system includes a first mechanism for detecting a pilot signal associated with the quick paging channel based on a received signal and includes a coherent integrator of a first length and a noncoherent integrator of a second length. The second mechanism determines receiver operating characteristics of the system based on the pilot signal and a quick paging channel signal associated with the quick paging channel. The third mechanism optimizes the first length and the second length based on the receiver operating characteristics. In a specific embodiment, the first mechanism includes a CDMA receive chain for receiving the received signal and providing a digital received signal in response thereto to a sample Random Access Memory (RAM). The sample RAM includes a mechanism for sampling the digital received signal at predetermined time slots and providing a sampled received signal in response thereto. An interpolator adjusts the rate of the sampled received signal and provides a rate-adjusted signal in response thereto. The first mechanism includes a searcher that includes the first coherent integrator, a second coherent integrator, and the noncoherent integrator. A complex despreader correlates the rate-adjusted received signal with a pseudo noise candidate code and providing a correlation result in response thereto.

    Abstract: A system is disclosed for use in a wireless communication system to provide an estimated pilot signal. The system includes a receiver and a front-end processing and despreading component in electronic communication with the receiver for despreading a CDMA signal. A pilot estimation component is in electronic communication with the front-end processing and despreading component for estimating an original pilot signal using a Kalman filter to produce a pilot estimate. A demodulation component is in electronic communication with the pilot estimation component and the front-end processing and despreading component for providing demodulated data symbols. The Kalman filter is configured by an offline system identification process that calculates parameters using a prediction error method and a Gauss-Newton algorithm and generates state estimates using the Kalman filter. The calculating and generating are iteratively performed to train the Kalman filter for real-time operation.

    Abstract: A system for efficiently employing a quick paging channel signal to determine the presence of a forthcoming primary paging channel in a wireless communications system employing a quick paging channel and a primary paging channel. The system includes a first mechanism for selectively processing a first quick paging channel symbol and/or a second quick paging channel symbol of a received signal based on a first decision parameter and/or a second decision parameter and providing a first indication in response thereto. A second mechanism processes the first quick paging channel symbol in response to the first indication and provides a second indication in response thereto indicating whether a forthcoming primary paging channel signal should be received and processed. A third mechanism processes the second quick paging channel symbol in response to the first indication and the second indication and provides a third indication in response thereto specifying whether the primary paging channel should be received an processed. In a specific embodiment, the system is adapted for use with a mobile station and further includes a fourth mechanism for selectively employing the third mechanism when the second indication does not indicate that the forthcoming primary paging channel should be received and processed. The first decision parameter CSI1 is representative of a quality of a signal environment through which the received signal propagates and is described by the equation (I) where E pilot1 represents the normalized pilot energy of a portion of the pilot signal associated with the first quick paging symbol, and Î o1 represents a total energy of a portion of the received signal associated with the first quick paging symbol.

    Abstract: A system determines if a primary paging channel should be received based on an examination of a quick paging channel. A first QPCH symbol is examined (102) and the normalized pilot energy is determined (104). If the normalized pilot energy is above a first threshold (106), the symbol is demodulated and the QPCH-symbol-to-pilot-energy ratio is determined (110) and compared against another threshold (112). If the normalized pilot energy is below the first threshold, the system proceeds to the second QPCH symbol immediately. Depending on the resulting values, a second QPCH signal is examined (108), the system sleeps (114), or the system decides (116) to process the primary paging channel directly (118). If the second signal is demodulated, and if its normalized pilot energy is high enough, it also is demodulated and the ratio of the sum-of-the-combined-QPCH-symbols to the sum-of-the-combined-pilot-energies is determined (122). If this ratio exceeds a threshold (124), the primary paging channel is processed (118); otherwise the system sleeps (114).
