    Abstract: A method for mitigating the effect of interference between a first base station and a second base station, the first base station and second base stations both sharing a same primary synchronization code. The method includes generating a primary synchronization channel having the primary synchronization code. In a W-CDMA system, all base stations share this primary synchronization code, causing code timing collisions. The present invention includes rotating the primary synchronization channel in phase according to a phase rotation sequence before transmitting the primary synchronization channel. By rotating the primary synchronization channel in phase according to the phase rotation sequence, the interference can be reduced. The phase rotation sequence may be pseudorandom in phase. The phase rotation sequence may include changing phase once per slot, or alternately once per frame. The phase rotation sequence may also be based at least in part on a secondary synchronization code.

    Abstract: Techniques for efficient W-CDMA modulation are disclosed. In one aspect, a multiplexing/coding chain for use in modulation such as that defined by the W-CDMA specification is disclosed. In another aspect, transport blocks are processed and concatenated, utilizing memory efficiently. This aspect has the further benefit of preparing transport channels for efficient subsequent processing. It also allows for ease of interface with the transport channel source. In another aspect, the use of repeated channel coding is used in lieu of an interleaver memory to provide channel coding and interleaving. These aspects, collectively, yield the advanced benefits of a system, such as W-CDMA, in a hardware efficient manner. The techniques described herein apply equally to both access points and access terminals. The techniques are not limited to W-CDMA systems; they are quite suitable to other systems requiring the various benefits the invention offers. Various other aspects of the invention are also presented.

    Abstract: Techniques for generating a reference signal based on time-multiplexed pilot data. A modulated signal is received (FIG. 7) and processed to provide received samples, which are then further processed to provide pilot symbols. A reference signal is generated based on the available pilot symbols (722a, 722b). The reference signal comprises a sequence of "predicted" pilot symbols representative of future estimates of one or more characteristics (e.g., the phase and amplitude) of one or more carrier signals used to generate the modulated signal (FIG's 5A-5E). The reference signal can be generated using a number of techniques. For example, the reference signal can be generated by (e.g., linearly) extrapolating pilot symbols from prior time intervals (FIG. 5B), curve fitting the pilot symbols (FIG. 5C), or (normal or ensemble) averaging (unweighted or weighted) pilot symbols (FIG's 5D, 5E). For the W-CDMA standard, the processing to generate the pilot symbols typically includes decovering the received samples with a channelization code to provide channelized symbols (720a, 720b), and multiplying the channelized symbols with a particular pilot symbol pattern. The pilot symbols from each slot may also be filtered to generate one or more filtered pilot symbols.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus for using information about a mobile terminal's location relative to a base station can improve performance of a communication system. In addition, information about the mobile terminal's velocity relative to the base station may be used to improve performance of the communication system. The location information may be used to estimate a nominal PN offset, and a set of PN offset to use, for processing communication signals. The velocity information may be used to estimate a nominal frequency of the communication signals.

    Abstract: Techniques for recovering data transmitted on a physical channel in which the channelization code is not known at the time of the data recovery. A modulated signal is received an processed to provide received samples. A hypothesized channelization code (e.g., an OVSF code in the W-CDMA system) is selected and used to process the received samples to generate partially processed symbols. The hypothesized channelization code is a "base" code that can be used to generate all possible channelization codes that may have been used for the physical channel. Intermediate results representative of the partially processed symbols are stored and, upon determination of the actual channelization code, further processed in accordance with the actual and hypothesized channelization codes to provide the final results.

    Abstract: A novel and improved method and apparatus, in a WCDMA communication system, for informing a mobile station of a downlink data frame time offset by determining the downlink data frame time offset, and transmitting the downlink data frame time offset via an Active Set Update message transmitted from a cell to mobile station. Once an Active Set Update message is received, the data frame time offset information is provided to a timing block which may determine data frame boundary of each downlink signal. Timing block may then adjust the PN sequence timing corresponding to the downlink signal associated with the data frame time offset such that corresponding data symbols in each data frame are correctly soft combined in a combiner.
