Abstract: A communication repeater for use in conjunction with a base transceiver subsystem (BTS) of a wireless communication system (Fig. 2). The repeater expands the coverage area of the BTS and allows receivers to identify whether the source of a communication signal was directly from a BTS or was broadcast by a repeater (Fig. 2, 212). Identification of the signal source facilitates position determination, particularly in hybrid position determination systems. The repeater implements differential delay modulation of the transmitted signal. The repeater re-transmits the original BTS signal as well as a time delayed version of the signal. Additionally, the repeater introduces synthetic path diversity in the form of spatial diversity or polarity diversity to de-correlate the re-transmitted original signal from the time delayed signal. The repeater can broadcast the delayed signal with the same power as the re-transmitted original signal or can attenuate the delayed signal relative to the re-transmitted original signal.

Abstract translation: 一种与无线通信系统的基站收发器子系统（BTS）结合使用的通信中继器（图2）。 中继器扩展BTS的覆盖区域，并允许接收机识别通信信号的来源是直接来自BTS还是由中继器广播（图2,212）。 信号源的识别有助于位置确定，特别是在混合位置确定系统中。 中继器实现发射信号的差分延迟调制。 中继器重新发送原始BTS信号以及信号的时间延迟版本。 另外，中继器以空间分集或极性分集的形式引入合成路径分集，以将来自时间延迟信号的重传的原始信号去相关。 中继器可以以与重新发送的原始信号相同的功率来广播延迟的信号，或者可以相对于再发送的原始信号来衰减延迟的信号。

Abstract: Techniques are provided which may be implemented using various methods and/or apparatuses in a receiver and/or other like device to determine an SPS time using SPS signals based on a correlation process. A verification process may be performed, for example, that verifies a maximum peak in comparison with other peak information resulting from the correlation process, for example, by considering a ratio of a maximum peak to a next maximum peak. A time-setting algorithm may be selected, for example, based, at least in part, on a time uncertainty and/or on a type of demodulation performed on the SPS signal. The time-setting algorithm may operatively control one or both of the correlation and/verification processes in a desired manner given the time uncertainty and/or type/mode of demodulation performed.

Abstract: Demodulator architectures for processing a received signal in a wireless communications system. The demodulator includes a number of correlators coupled to a combiner. Each correlator typically receives and despreads input samples (which are generated from the received signal) with a respective despreading sequence to provide despread samples. Each correlator then decovers the despread samples to provide decovered "half-symbols" and further demodulates the decovered half-symbols with pilot estimates to generate correlated symbols. The decovering is performed with a Walsh symbol having a length (T) that is half the lenght (2T) of a Walsh symbol used to cover the data symbols in the transmitted signal. The combiner selectively combines correlated symbols from the assigned correlators to provide demodualted symbols. One or more correlators can be assigned to process one or more instances of each transmiteed signal. The pilot estimates used within each assigned correlator to demodulate the decovered half-symbols are generated based on the signal instance being prcessed by that correlator.
