Abstract: A system and method for detecting convergence in an echo canceller prevent false convergence from occurring as a result of receiving only tones in an input signal. An adaptive filter is used in an echo canceller to estimate an echo signal produced by an unknown echo channel. The estimated echo signal is subtracted from the return signal to remove the echo produced by the unknown echo channel. To prevent the echo canceller from falsely converging on a signal which contains only tones a system and method are provided for detecting the presence of tones in the absence of other frequencies. Filter taps of the adaptive filter are filtered to produce a filtered signal. The amount of energy in the filtered signal is compared to the amount of energy in the unfiltered filter taps to determine whether only tones have been present. If only tones have been present, the echo canceller is not allowed to reduce the adaptation step size of the adaptive filter.

Abstract: A novel and improved method and apparatus for searching is described. This searcher combines the ability to search multiple offsets of single pilots, such as those found in the IS-95 system, with the ability to search multiple pilots, such as those found in a GPS location determination system. Both types of searching can be done in a single architecture combining the parallel computation features of a matched filter with the flexibility of allowing a variable number of coherent accumulations and a variable number of non-coherent accumulations to be performed at high speed for a wide range of search hypotheses in a resource efficient manner. This invention allows for parallel use of the matched filter structure in a time-sliced manner to search multiple windows. In addition, the searcher allows for optional independent Walsh decovering for each search window. The time-sharing approach allows for optional frequency searching of any offset.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for canceling both earseal and hybrid echo in a Wireless Local Loop telephone system is disclosed. The present invention operates within a subscriber station having a plurality of telephone inputs, one of which is a dedicated handset and at least one other input being a standard analog telephone. During a conference call between a far end speaker and two near end speakers, the far end speaker may hear an echo of his own voice due to an earseal echo generated by the dedicated handset and a hybrid echo generated by a 4-to-2 wire hybrid interface within the subscriber station. In accordance with the present invention, two distinct echo cancellers are used in the subscriber station to reduce the two types of echo. A first echo canceller is optimized to remove the earseal echo generated at the dedicated handset while a second echo canceller is optimized to remove the hybrid echo generated at the 4-to-2 wire hybrid. The two echo cancellers operate independently such that neither echo canceller need adapt its filter coefficients when a change in the echo channel characteristics occur, such as when a speaker hangs up or another speaker joins the conversation.

Abstract: Techniques for scalable CDMA demodulation with maximum response latency are disclosed. In one aspect, a finger timing unit generates signals indicating cycle boundaries for a plurality of fingers, and an offline processing unit processes stored samples for those fingers in response to the signals. In another aspect, incoming samples are stored in a RAM, while finger timing is maintained using a plurality of counters. The RAM address is stored on symbol boundaries. Symbols for each finger are generated in an offline processing unit, clocked at a higher speed than the finger counters, from a RAM location computed using the stored RAM address. Various other aspects are also presented. These aspects provide for decoupling of the chip rate processing from chip time, which allows a single offline processing unit to service a plurality of fingers, thus reducing additional hardware required to support additional fingers while maintaining maximum latency requirements.

Abstract: This disclosure is directed to techniques for estimating signal-to-noise rat io (SNR) of signals received by a wireless communication device. The techniques take advantage of spatial receive diversity in a wireless communication devi ce to achieve accurate estimates of SNR. In general, a spatial projection wiene r filter function can be applied to incoming symbol estimates to support efficient computation of SNR. The estimated SNR can be used to produce power control commands for use in forward power control.

Abstract: A novel and improved method for performing paging is described. In one embodiment of the invention a searcher is used to detect spread spectrum signals. Samples received RF signals are stored in a sample buffer. During standby mode, the samples are gathered during paging slots assigned to the mobile. A set of searches are performed on the samples, and if pilot signals are detected additional demodulation is performed to detect paging messages. The resulting set of demodulation data may be combined to increase detection. After a page message has been detected, additional demodulation resources may be activated to processes more complete page messages, or other information channels. In one embodiment of the invention, the searcher includes a demodulator to perform quick page detection without the use of finger elements to reduce idle mode power consumption.
