    Abstract: A method and apparatus for supporting transmit diversity are disclosed. A wireless communication system includes a transmitter having a plurality of transmit antennas and a receiver having at least one receive antenna. The transmitter transmits different pilot code sequences via each of the transmit antennas. The receiver comprises at least one receive antenna for receiving signals transmitted from the transmitter and a plurality of equalizers. Each equalizer is locked onto one of the transmit antennas and processes received samples using a corresponding pilot code sequence. The equalizer may treat user data and pilot code sequence transmitted via all other transmit antennas except the corresponding transmit antenna as interference or alternatively may cancel pilot or pilot and data in parallel or successively.

    Abstract: An analog/digital gain control device avoid some of the requirements associated with the nature of a closed-loop AGC circuits and which meets the remaining requirements without much difficulty uses an analog to digital conversion method that increases the number of effective ADC bits by compressing the baseband input analog signal using a logarithmic circuit. After the compressed analog signal is converted into a digital signal, a digital anti-log process or look-up table (LUT) is used to expand the digital signal back to the original linear scale. The word size of the output of the anti-log process is larger than the input word size due to the nature of the anti-log function. To reduce the word size of the digital signal an open loop normalization technique can be applied.

    Abstract: A receiver which includes at least one equalizer filter and a tap coefficients generator for implementing receive diversity. The equalizer filter processes a signal derived from signals received by a plurality of antennas. In one embodiment, sample data streams from the antennas are merged into one sample data stream. The merged sample data stream is processed by a single extended equalizer filter, whereby filter coefficients are adjusted in accordance with a joint error signal. A filter coefficient correction term used by the equalizer filter is generated by the tap coefficients generator using a normalized least mean square (NLMS) algorithm. In another embodiment, a plurality of equalizer filters are utilized, whereby each equalizer receives a sample data stream from a specific one of the antennas. In yet another embodiment, the sample data streams are combined after being processed by a plurality of matched filters based on respective estimated channel impulse responses.

    Abstract: A sliding window based data estimation is performed. An error is introduced in the data estimation to the communication modeling the relationship between the transmitted and received signals. To compensate for an error in the estimated data, the data that was estimated in a previous sliding window step (58) or terms that would otherwise be truncated as noise are used. These techniques (50, 52, 54, 56. 58, 60, 62 and 64) allow for data to be truncated prior to further processing reducing the data of the window.

    Abstract: The present invention is related to a method and apparatus for estimating signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) based on dedicated physical channel (DPCH) pilot symbols in a wireless communication system. A receiver receives a DPCH transmission and a despreader despreads the received DPCH transmission. A selector selects pilot symbols in the despread DPCH transmission. A signal power estimator estimates signal power based on the pilot symbols, and a noise power estimator estimates noise power based on the received DPCH transmission. A SNR estimator estimates an SNR based on the signal power estimation and the noise power estimation. The noise power estimator may calculate the noise power estimation either based only on pilot symbols or based on both pilot symbols and non-pilot symbols. The DPCH transmission may be transmitted using more than one antenna for transmit diversity.

    Abstract: A wireless communication apparatus (200) which uses fast Fourier transforms (FFTs) in an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) receiver (250) which incorporates a beam space antenna array (205). The beam space antenna array may be implemented with a Butler matrix array. The beam space antenna array may be a circular array, vertical array, or a combination of both circular and vertical arrays, for providing the desired angular antenna coverage. In one embodiment, the antenna array is optimized because the FFTs are linear invariant transform operators (210), whereby the order of operations in the OFDM receiver can be interchanged.
