Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a time offset technique for increasing the capacity of a CDMA system. SOLUTION: In a method for limiting a peak transmission power region in a CDMA communication system by transmitting a first communication signal having a first high transmission power region and transmitting a second communication signal having a second high transmission power region, the first and second communication signals are time offset to prevent the first and second high transmission power regions from occurring simultaneously. Time shifting of only a portion of the first and second communication signals is also taught. The first and second communication signals can also include respective first and second low transmission power regions. The time offset can be selected to align one of the first and second high transmission power regions with one of the first and second low transmission power regions. The total transmission power signal can be determined and the time offset can be selected to minimize the peak level of the total transmission power signal. COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method of correctly soft combining each downlink signal transmitted by each cell involved in a soft handoff operation.SOLUTION: A mobile station 101 is informed of a downlink data frame time offset by transmitting the downlink data frame time offset via an active set update message transmitted from a cell (102 or 103) to the mobile station 101. Once the active set update message is received, the data frame time offset information is provided to a timing block which may determine a data frame boundary of each downlink signal. The timing block adjusts the PN sequence timing corresponding to the downlink signal associated with the data frame time offset such that corresponding data symbols in each data frame are correctly soft combined in a combiner.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make it possible to trust in arrival timing of a symbol from each cell and determine which symbol should be compounded at the time of software hand-off operation. SOLUTION: After down link data frame time offset is determined, a mobile station 101 is informed about the down link data frame time offset, by transmitting the down link data frame time offset through an active set renewal message, which is transmitted from a cell 102 or a cell 103 to the mobile station 101. Once the active set renewal message is received, the data frame time offset information is fed to a timing block, and thereby data frame border of each down link signal is determined. The timing block adjusts PN sequence timing corresponding to the down link signal in relation to the data frame time offset so that the corresponding data symbol in each data frame can be subjected to software composition correctly in a compositor.

A method and apparatus for using information about a mobile terminal's location relative to a base station can improve performance of a communication system. In addition, information about the mobile terminal's velocity relative to the base station may be used to improve performance of the communication system. The location information may be used to estimate a nominal PN offset, and a set of PN offset to use, for processing communication signals. The velocity information may be used to estimate a nominal frequency of the communication signals.

The communication signals are separated into a plurality of portions and portions of the first and second communication signals are time offset to re-order the sequence of transmission of the plurality of portions.

A novel and improved method and apparatus, in a WCDMA communication system, for informing a mobile station of a downlink data frame time offset by determining the downlink data frame time offset, and transmitting the downlink data frame time offset via an Active Set Update message transmitted from a cell to mobile station. Once an Active Set Update message is received, the data frame time offset information is provided to a timing block which may determine data frame boundary of each downlink signal.

Abstract:
Techniques for searching in asynchronous systems are disclosed. In one aspect, a plurality of codes, such as SSCs, are correlated with a received signal at a plurality of offsets to produce a code/slot energy corresponding to each code/slot boundary pair. Unique subsets of the code/slot energies are summed to produce code sequence energies, the maximum of which indicates a located code sequence and slot boundary. In another aspect, the correlation is performed by sub-correlating the received signal with a common sequence, and performing a Fast Hadamard Transform (FHT) on the results. In yet another aspect, one sub-correlator can be used to search a plurality of peaks simultaneously. Various other aspects of the invention are also presented. These aspects collectively have the benefit of circuit area and search-time efficiency which translate into reduced costs, increased standby time, increased acquisition speed, higher quality signal transmission, increased data throughput, decreased power, and improved overall system capacity.
