Abstract:
At least one user data stream is layer 2/3 processed [Fig.3. ref. 24], physical layer processed [Fig. 3, ref. 26] and radio frequency processed [Fig. 3, ref. 28]. A watermark/signature is embedded [Fig. 3, ref. 30] at least one of layer 2/3, [Fig. 3, ref. 24] physical layer [Fig. 3, ref. 24] or radio frequency [Fig. 3, ref.28], producing an embedded wireless communication. The embedded wireless communication is wirelessly transferred [Fig. 3, ref. 36]. The embedded wireless communication is received [Fig. 3, ref. 34] and the watermark/signature is extracted [Fig. 3, ref. 34] from the embedded wireless communication.
Abstract:
A transceiver comprising a data processing module, a security processing module, a medium access control (MAC) module, a dirty-paper-coding (DPC) module, and a smart antenna processor. The data processing module provides user data streams to the MAC module and channel state information to the smart antenna processor. The security processing module generates security data and provides the security data to the MAC module. The security module also provides security policy data to the smart antenna processor. The MAC module determines data transmission rates for the user data streams and the security data. In addition, the MAC module allocates the data streams and security data to transmission channels for transmission. The DPC module encodes the security data onto the user data streams. The smart antenna processor generates pre-coding coefficients used by the DPC module and transmits the security encoded data streams.
Abstract:
A sliding window based data estimation is performed. An error is introduced in the data estimation to the communication modeling the relationship between the transmitted and received signals. To compensate for an error in the estimated data, the data that was estimated in a previous sliding window step (58) or terms that would otherwise be truncated as noise are used. These techniques (50, 52, 54, 56. 58, 60, 62 and 64) allow for data to be truncated prior to further processing reducing the data of the window.
Abstract:
A multiuser detector that detects and decodes synchronous or asynchronous CDMA subchannels having different spreading factors with reduced computational complexity. The multiuser detector is compatible with ZF-BLE, MMSE, decorrelating detectors and the like using Cholesky decomposition to minimize numeric operations. The system and method arranges the columns of system transmission response matrices representing the response characteristics of individual users into a total system transmission response matrix which represents a plurality of matched-filter responses for a given block of received data. The invention in conjunction with Cholesky decomposition reduces the number of required mathematic operations prior to parallel matched filtering.
Abstract:
A plurality of communication signals is received. Each communication signal has an associated code. At least two of the communication signals has a different spreading factor. The associated codes have a scrambling code period. A total system response matrix has blocks. Each block has one dimension of a length M and another dimension of a length based on in part M and the spreading factor of each communication. M is based on the scrambling code period. Data of the received plurality of communication signals is received using the constructed system response matrix.
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:
A Node-B/base station has an access burst detector. The access burst detector comprises at least one antenna (28 1 -28 M ) for receiving signals from users and a pool of reconfigurable correlators, implemented in ASIC. Each correlator (36 1 -36 O ) correlates an inputted access burst code at an inputted code phase with an inputted antenna output. An antenna controller (30) selectively couples any output of the at least one antenna to an input of any of the correlators. A code controller (32) provides to an input of each correlator an access burst code. The code controller controls the inputted code phase of each controller. A sorter/post processor (38) sorts output energy levels of the correlators.
Abstract:
Apparatus and method for correlating a received communication of a known sequence over a wireless channel through the use of a finite impulse response (FIR) filter (24) having a small number of taps to reduce hardware requirement by as much as one-half that of conventional techniques while obtaining amplitude degradation which is no worse than experienced when employing conventional techniques.
