Abstract:
A particular cell of a hybrid time division multiple access/code division multiple access communication system has a base station and a plurality of user requirement. Timeslots having unacceptable interference for the uplink are estimated. Timeslots having unacceptable interference for the downlink are estimated. An availability list is produced. The availability list indicates available uplink and downlink timeslots having acceptable interference levels. Uplink and downlink timeslots are assigned using the availability list.
Abstract:
The present invention is a system and method for transmitting data symbols in a CDMA communication system including a transmitter having an antenna array and a receiver. The system generates a first and second data field of symbols, then encodes them to produce complex conjugates of the respective symbols. A first communication burst including the first and second data fields, which are separated by a midamble, over a first antenna, and a second communication burst produced using said complex conjugates of said first and second data fields, which are separated by a midamble, over a second antenna are then transmitted by the transmitter. The receiver then receives and decodes the first and second communication bursts to recover the first and second data fields.
Abstract:
The present invention is a method and system for controlling downlink transmission power levels in a spread spectrum time division communications system having frames with time slots for communication, which receives at a user equipment (UE) a downlink communication from a base station and determines an error rate of the received communication. The UE then produces power level adjustments for each of the time slots based in part on the error rate and transmits an uplink communication to the base station which includes the power level. In response to the power level adjustments and(or) other information, transmission power level is set for each time slot in the downlink communication.
Abstract:
A wireless time division duplex communication system using code division multiple access has a base station and user equipments. The system communicates using communication bursts. Each communication burst has a unique channelization code and a midamble code. Each midamble code is mapped to a set of at least one channelization code. For each communication burst to be transmitted in a time slot from the base station, the midamble code mapped to that burst's channelization code is determined. Communication bursts are generated and transmitted in the time slot. Each burst has the determined midamble code for its channelization code. The user equipment receives the bursts and determines each received midamble code. The user equipment determines the channelization codes of the transmitted communication bursts based on in part a result of the determining of each received midamble code.
Abstract:
The present invention is a receiver which includes a blind code detection device (15) for determining the identity of a plurality of channels over which information is to be transmitted when the identity of all channels is not known by the receiver (19). The blind code detection device (15) generates a candidate channel list filled with the identity of selected channels out of the plurality of channels. A multi-user detection device (16), responsive to the blind code detection device (15), processes those channels is the candidate code list.
Abstract:
Data is to be detected in a wireless communication system. A plurality of communication signals (r) are received. A solution for estimating data (d) of the received communication signals (r) is modeled using a linear system (34) requiring a matrix inversion. Columns or rows (A, and B) of an approximate Cholesky factor are determined. A difference between the determined columns or rows (A, and B) is determined. If the determined difference is less than a threshold, subsequent columns or rows are determined by previous determined columns or rows. The data (d) of received communication signals (r) is estimated using the approximate Cholesky factor.
Abstract:
A signal-to-interference ratio (SIR) estimator for estimating a SIR of baseband signals which are received and processed by a data demodulator to provide demodulated signals to the SIR estimator. The SIR estimator receives the demodulated symbols from the data demodulator and estimates the average signal power of the demodulated symbols as a function of a median based average power value m d and a mean based average power value m e of the demodulated symbols for each quadrant of a quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK) constellation. The function is used to determine a minimum value m between m d and m e . The SIR estimator estimates the average effective interference power of the demodulated symbols and calculates the SIR by dividing the estimated average signal power of the demodulated symbols by the estimated average effective interference power of the demodulated symbols. The SIR estimator reduces bias effects on SIR estimation.
