Abstract:
The invention is concerned with a method and apparatus for receiving different signal format standards in a multistandards radio receiver system. Radio (RF) signals are received and downconverted to an intermediate frequency signal (IF). The intermediate frequency signal (IF) is sampled with a certain sampling rate and the sampled signal is digitized into a digital signal. At least two modulated channels are filtered out from the digital signal, the channels being modulated according to different radio communications signal format standards. The signals are then demodulated in demodulating units. The modulated channels are detected and when needed, resampled individually each for signal format standard and corresponding demodulated channels are delivered. The resampling can be carried out in a separate resampler before each radio receiver or, if the receiver is a CDMA receiver, with a rake receiver with resampling rake fingers. The invention is also concerned with a rake receiver to be used in the method and apparatus of the invention.
Abstract:
A programmable versatile digital signal processing system architecture (Fig. 5) allows the implementation of functions for transmitting and receiving a variety of narrow and wide-band communication signaling schemes. The flexibility of the architecture (Fig. 5) makes it possible to receive and transmit many different spectral communication signals in real time by implementing signal processing functions such as filtering, spreading, de-spreading, rake filtering, and equalization under the direction of program instructions (1300, 1400, 1500, 1600).
Abstract:
A multiple access, spread-spectrum communication system processes a plurality of information signals received by a Radio Carrier Station (RCS) over telecommunication lines for simultaneous transmission over a radio frequency (RF) channel as a code-division-multiplexed (CDM) signal to a group of Subscriber Units (SUs). The RCS receives a call request signal that corresponds to a telecommunication line information signal, and a user identification signal that identifies a user to receive the call. The RCS includes a plurality of Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) modems, one of which provides a global pilot code signal. The modems provide message code signals synchronized to the global pilot signal. Each modem combines an information signal with a message code signal to provide a CDM processed signal. The RCS includes a system channel controller coupled to receive a remote call. An RF transmitter is connected to all of the modems to combine the CDM processed signals with the global pilot code signal to generate a CDM signal. The RF transmitter also modulates a carrier signal with the CDM signal and transmits the modulated carrier signal through an RF communication channel to the SUs. Each SU includes a CDMA modem which is also synchronized to the global pilot signal. The CDMA modem despreads the CDM signal and provides a despread information signal to the user. The system includes a closed loop power control system for maintaining a minimum system transmit power level for the RCS and the SUs, and system capacity management for maintaining a maximum number of active SUs for improved system performance.
Abstract:
A CDMA signal processing circuit (300) includes a summer circuit (302) that receives a plurality of CDMA signals from a plurality of channels (304). The summer circuit (302) combines the plurality of CDMA signals according to a power magnitude value and power direction value associated with each CDMA signal. The summer circuit (302) generates a summed signal (306) that is applied to a clipping circuit (308). The clipping circuit (308) removes a portion of the summed signal (306) outside a desired threshold range and generates a clipped signal (310) therefrom. Digital to analog processing circuits (312 and 314) convert the clipped signal (310) into a half width encoded format. Digital to analog processing circuits (312 and 314) transform the half width encoded clipped signal into analog I and Q signals, respectively. The analog I and Q signals are applied to corresponding filters (316 and 318) prior to transmission.
Abstract:
A wireless telecommunications system (1) includes a central terminal (10) for transmitting and receiving radio frequency signals to and from a subscriber terminal (20). A downlink communication path is established from a transmitter (200) of the central terminal (10) to a receiver (202) of the subscriber terminal (20). A downlink signal (212) is transmitted from the transmitter (200) to the receiver (202) during setup and operation of the wireless telecommunications system (1) carrying information partitioned into a plurality of frames. The downlink signal (212) includes an overhead channel (224) having a frame alignment signal (232) for each frame of information. The receiver (202) monitors the downlink signal (212) to identify the frame alignment signal (232). The downlink communication path is established when the receiver (202) identifies two successive frame alignment signals (232).
Abstract:
A downlink communication path is established from a transmitter (200) of the central terminal (10) to a receiver (202) of the subscriber terminal (20). A downlink signal (212) is transmitted from the transmitter (200) to the receiver (202) during setup and operation of the wireless telecommunications system (1). The downlink signal (212) includes an overhead channel (224) having a code synchronization signal (234). The code synchronization signal (234) is capable of adjusting a phase of a transmitter (204) in the subscriber terminal (20). A receiver (206) in the central terminal (10) monitors an uplink signal (214) transmitted by the transmitter (204) in the subscriber terminal and provides changes to the code synchronization signal (234) such that the transmitter (204) is synchronized to the receiver (206). Synchronization of the transmitter (204) in the subscriber terminal (20) to the receiver (206) in the central terminal (10) facilitates establishment of an uplink communication path from the subscriber terminal (20) to the central terminal (10).
Abstract:
A technique for spread-spectrum communication (figs. 1, 3, 12 and 14) which uses more than one mode and more than one frequency band. Selectable modes include narrowband mode (113) and spread-spectrum mode (111), or cellular mode and microcellular mode. Selectable frequency bands include both licensed and unlicensed frequency bands, particularly frequency bands including the 902-928 MHz, 1850--1990 MHz, and 2.4--2.4835 GHz frequency bands. Spread-spectrum communication channels are 10 MHz or less in width. The frequency band onto which spread-spectrum signals are encoded may be changed upon a change in environment or other control trigger, such as establishment or deestablishment of communication with a private access network. A multi-band transmitter (fig. 12) comprises a single frequency synthesizer and a frequency source (606) (e.g., a local oscillator), coupled to a selectable band pass filter (619, 620). A multi-band receiver (fig. 14) capable of monitoring one or more frequency bands comprises bank of bandpass filters (714, 715) and a demodulator comprising a single frequency synthesizer and a frequency source (721).
Abstract:
In a WCDMA mobile communication system, when the amount of packet traffic transmitted to or received from a UE decreases during a predetermined time in a CELL_DCH state in which a WCDMA packet data connection has been established, the UE transitions to a CELL_FACH state by a radio network controller (RNC). Thereafter, it is determined if there is no transmitted or received packet traffic during a certain time in the CELL_FACH state (which is an RRC state in which an RRC connection has been connected, and the dedicated physical channel has been released). When it is determined that there is no transmitted or received packet traffic during the certain time, the UE requests a network to release the RRC connection by utilizing a Signaling Connection Release Indication (SCRI) message. The invention enables a UE to check a packet transmission or reception flow, and to directly transmit the SCRI message to the network.
