Abstract:
A system and method of controlling transmission power during the establishment of a channel in a CDMA communication system utilize the transmission of a short code from a subscriber unit to a base station during initial power ramp-up. The short code is a sequence for detection by the base station which has a much shorter period than a conventional spreading code. The ramp-up starts from a power level that is guaranteed to be lower than the required power level for detection by the base station. The subscriber unit quickly increases transmission power while repeatedly transmitting the short code until the signal is detected by the base station. Once the base station detects the short code, it sends an indication to the subscriber unit to cease increasing transmission power. The use of short codes limits power overshoot and interference to other subscriber stations and permits the base station to quickly synchronize to the spreading code used by the subscriber unit.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for processing multiple wireless communication services in a receiver (100). A receiver (100) receives more than one wireless communication service simultaneously via a wireless interface. Each service is transmitted via a different carrier frequency band. The multiple received carrier signals are down-converted to an intermediate frequency (IF) band using a mixer (110, 116) and a local oscillator (LO). The LO and sampling frequencies are adjusted such that the converted IF band signals of the input signals are spectrally adjacent or overlapping each other to some degree. SINAD of the services is measured at each of a plurality of spectrally overlapping conditions. The LO frequencies and the sampling frequency are then adjusted based on the SINAD measurement results.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus are provided for controlling transmit power with an estimated value of cubic metric (CM) and/or peak-to-average ratio (PAR). Preferably, the method is applied in determining a value for Maximum Power Reduction (MPR) for computing maximum MPR or minimum MPR, by estimating CM and/or PAR from signal parameters. The method of estimating CM and/or PAR is applicable to any multicode signal.
Abstract:
A method for performing transport format combination indicator processing in a wireless communications system begins by collecting received samples for a timeslot (322). Processing of the received samples for the timeslot that does not require a transport format combination code list or TFC code list valid indicator is performed (342). Next, a TFCI value for the timeslot is received and is processed at the timeslot rate, producing the TFC code list and the TFC code list valid indicator (344). Then processing in the timeslot that requires the TFC code list or the TFC code list indicator is performed.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve a control method of transmission power ramp-up during the establishment of a communication channel between a subscriber unit and a base station in a radio CDMA communication system. SOLUTION: The system and method of controlling transmission power during the establishment of a channel in a CDMA communication system utilize the transmission of a short code from a subscriber unit to a base station during initial power ramp-up. The short code is a sequence for detection by the base station which has a much shorter period than a conventional spreading code. The ramp-up starts from a power level that is guaranteed to be lower than the required power level for detection by the base station. The subscriber unit quickly increases transmission power while repeatedly transmitting the short code until the signal is detected by the base station. Once the base station detects the short code, it sends an indication to the subscriber unit to cease increasing transmission power. The use of short codes limits power overshoot and interference to other subscriber stations and permits the base station to quickly synchronize to the spreading code used by the subscriber unit.
Abstract:
An automatic gain control (AGC) method according to the present invention applies an initial gain by a digital AGC circuit (13) in a timeslot is determined using a final calculated gain from the same timeslot in the previous frame together with an offset factor. An erase function (14) is activated for a given data sample block when the number of saturated data samples that are detected within the block (17) exceeds a threshold value. The power measurement made by the AGC circuit and used to update the gain is adjusted based on the number of measured data samples that are saturated. These elements provide a gain limiting function and allows limiting of the dynamic range for further signal processing.
Abstract:
A method and system for performing initial cell search in wireless communication system wherein unsuitable cells are excluded is disclosed. Stored frequencies are searched exhaustively and initial frequencies are search non-exhaustively. Initial frequencies may be searched exhaustively in certain circumstances. When performing exhaustive initial cell searches, primary synchronization codes that lead to unsuitable cells are excluded from subsequent initial cell searches performed on the same frequency.
Abstract:
Multi-user detection (MUD) performance is optimized to eliminate redundant use of power during processing. An overbuilt A-matrix, i.e., a system response matrix, is provided. The overbuilt A-matrix uses all possible codes, e.g., all codes identified in a candidate code list (CCL) provided by blind code detection (BCD). The overbuilt A-matrix is passed to the MUD which extracts only those rows or columns required for codes that have actually been received, thus eliminating the need to recompute whitening matched filter (WMF) outputs that do not correspond to the actually received code.

Abstract:
A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRLJ) 11 uses an oscillator providing accuracy for synchronized communications parameters in an active mode (Fig. 1 , WTRLJ 11), and operates at reduced power during a discontinuous reception (DRX) mode (Fig. 1 WTRU 12). A real time clock (RTC) 28 is used as the frequency standard during the reduced power operation, and a frequency adjustment is effected while the RTC 28 is used as the frequency standard. By effecting the frequency adjustment, the RTC 28 is able to be used as the frequency standard for substantial time periods, thereby reducing power consumption of the WTRU 12 during the DRX mode.
