Abstract:
In an antenna diverstiy environment, the timing offset of the receiver's fingers are based on the timing offset of the received peaks of the base station transmit signals. In a system with non-neglible multipath spacing, the timing offset of the received peaks of the base station transmit signals are not necessarily at the same location. In one embodiment, the demodulating elements for the signal from each base station antenna use the same offset for demodulating and determining an error signal based on pilot signal sampling prior to the timing offset and subsequent to the timing offset. The error signals are averaged and used by a time trackin loop to track the incoming signal. In another embodiment, the demodulating elements for the signal from each base station antenna independently time track the signals with different times offsets for each finger. The preferred embodiment depends on the method used by the base station to multiplex the data onto multiple transmit antennas.
Abstract:
A receiver is configured to determine a scaling factor and a carrier-to-interference cap for a communication signal based on the modulation format used or a measured carrier-to-interference ratio. The carrier-to-interference cap sets the limit for clipping of the signal to interference-plus-noise ratio of the communication signal.

Un receptor suprime la interferencia de co-canal (CCI) de otros transmisores e interferencia inter-simbolo (ISI) debido a la distorsion del canal utilizando antenas "virtuales", las antenas virtuales se pueden formar mediante (1) sobremuestreando una senal recibida para cada antena real en el receptor y/o (2) descomponiendo una secuencia de muestras con valor complejo en una secuencia de muestras en-fase y una secuencia de muestras en cuadratura; en un diseno, el receptor incluye un pre-procesador, un supresor de interferencia, y un ecualizador; el pre-procesador procesa las muestras recibidas por lo menos para una antena real y general por lo menos dos secuencias de muestras de entrada para cada antena real; el supresor de interferencia suprime la interferencia de co-canal en las secuencias de muestras de entrada y provee por lo menos una secuencia de muestras con CCI suprimida; el ecualizador ejecuta la deteccion en la(s) secuencia(s) de muestra con CCI suprimida y provee los bits detectados; el supresor de interferencia y el ecualizador pueden ser operados para una o multiples iteracciones.

Abstract:
A method and device for combating cross-correlation false alarms by introducing code diversity in the correlation process in which the search code may be diversified by the use of code staggering and/or code scrambling. The energy levels of the signals before and after the search code have been diversified may be evaluated to detect a false alarm. In addition, a set of parameterized analytical models may be used to estimate the rate of false alarms from cross-correlation in wireless networks in order to guide development and design of wireless transceivers.
Abstract:
A receiver suppresses co-channel interference (CCI) from other transmitters and intersymbol interference (ISI) due to channel distortion using "virtual" antennas. The virtual antennas may be formed by (1) oversampling a received signal for each actual antenna at the receiver and/or (1) decomposing a sequence of complex-valued samples into a sequence of inphase samples and a sequence of quadrature samples. In one design, the receiver includes a pre-processor, an interference suppressor, and an equalizer. The pre-processor processes received samples for at least one actual antenna and generates at least two sequences of input samples for each actual antenna. The interference suppressor suppresses co-channel interference in the input sample sequences and provides at least one sequence of CCI-suppressed samples. The equalizer performs detection on the CCI-suppressed sample sequence(s) and provides detected bits. The interference suppressor and equalizer may be operated for one or multiple iterations.
