Abstract:
Components and method are provided to efficiently process wireless communications data where prior knowledge of the specific format of the communication data is not available. A wireless transmit receive unit (WTRU) is configured for use in a wireless communication system where communication data for selected channels is transmitted in system time frames in formats selected from among a set of predefined formats. The WTRU has a receiver, a memory, a received chip rate processor (RCRP), a format detector and a de-interleaver. The RCRP is preferably configured to despread each wireless signal of spread data received in each time frame using a minimum spreading code or other appropriate key sequence and to store resultant despread data for each respective time frame in the memory. The format detector is preferably configured to determine the number of physical channels and the respective spreading factor for each physical channel for the wireless signal of spread data received in each time frame. The de-interleaver is preferably configured to de-interleave the stored data despread by the RCRP for each respective time frame into the number of physical channels determined by the format detector for the respective time frame.
Abstract:
A Node-B/base station comprises a plurality of antennas (28I - 28M) for receiving user signals and a path searcher. The path searcher comprises a set of correlators (42-1, 42-2 … 42-P). Each correlator of the set of correlators correlates an inputted user code with an inputted antenna output. An antenna controller selectively couples an output of one of the plurality of antennas to an input of each.
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to an improved telecommunication receiver for receiving wireless multi-path communication signals. A novel RAKE receiver and a time diverse integration system (fig.1) for the calculation of the relative power of received signal samples are provided (Fat Finger Allocation and Rake Finger Allocation). Preferably, the receiver is embodied in a UE or base station of a CDMA wireless telecommunication system, such as a 3GPP system.
Abstract:
A method and system for securing wireless communications is disclosed. In on embodiment, different security policies are used based on the distance between a receiver and a transmitter, whereby data in the wireless communications can only be demodulated if received in particular trust zones. In another embodiment, a plurality of bit stream fragments are transmitted by a plurality of transmitters to a receiver located in an area where transmission patterns radiated by the transmitters intersect. Alternatively, the receiver performs a function on packet data units (PDUs) transmitted by the transmitters. In yet another embodiment, primary modulation points of a modulation points which can be demodulated only by a receiver that is within range of the transmitter. In yet another embodiment, a main waveform is transmitted which overlays a QPSK signal with hierarchical modulation (HM) having encoded descrambling information.

A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU 250, Figure 1) for processing code division multiple access (CDMA) signals. The WTRU includes modem host (300) and a high speed downlink packet access (HSDPA) co-processor (400) , which communicate over a plurality of customizable interfaces. The modem host operates in accordance with third generation partnership project (3GPP) Release 4 (R4) standards, and the HSDPA co-processor enhances the wireless communication capabilities of the WTRU as a whole such that the WTRU operates in accordance with 3GPP Release 5 (S3) standards.
Abstract:
A wireless communication method and system for assigning multi-paths to Rake receiver fingers. A Rake finger assignment database is established in which multi-path signals (300) are categorized into a verified group and an unverified group. Each multi-path is assigned to an individual bin in the database. Each bin includes a pilot phase data field (310), an antenna data field (315), a code data field (320), an averaged signal strength data field (325), an assigned flag data field (330), a verification flag data field (335), an update flag data field (340), an assigned Rake finger number data field (345) and an assignment time counter data field (350). The multi-path signals in the verified group are further categorized into an assigned subgroup and an unassigned subgroup. During a measurement interval, each of a plurality of newly measured multi-path signals is compared to the multi-path signals in the database and is processed accordingly.
Abstract:
A first detector receives a received signal and extracts the data signals from the received signal. A hard decision converter converts soft symbols outputted by the first detector into hard symbols. An interference canceller extracts the voice signals from the received signal. A second detector is connected to the output of the interference canceller, and extracts the individual voice signals. The second detector is a different detector type than the first detector.
Abstract:
A plurality of communication signals have differing spreading codes. Each communication has an associated code comprising chips. For each chip of each communication, a vector of that chip convolved with an impulse response is produced. For each communication, support blocks comprising the chip vectors are produced. A number of the chip vectors in a support block is based on that communication's spreading factor. A system response matrix is assembled. The system response matrix has symbol sub-matrices. Each symbol sub-matrix comprises a support block from each communication. Data of the communications is detected using the symbol response matrix.
