Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide means for accelerating cell selection process in wireless communication systems implementing frequency division multiple access (FDMA). SOLUTION: This disclosure is directed to power estimation techniques for use by a subscriber unit of a frequency division multiple access (FDMA) system during the cell selection process. The power estimation techniques recognize that adjacent cells, i.e., adjacent in terms of frequency, often have slight overlap. Thus, the power from a signal associated with one cell can cause power to be detected in an adjacent cell, even if no signal is actually present in the adjacent cell. In accordance with this disclosure, techniques are described for identifying, reducing or eliminating the detection of false positives in such adjacent cells. By identifying, reducing or eliminating the detection of false positives, the cell selection process can be accelerated and additional processing of false positive signals in such adjacent cells can be avoided.

Abstract:
A method of signal reception according to one embodiment of the invention includes receiving a set of data values over a first frequency band during a first time slot, and receiving another set of data values over the first frequency band during a second time slot which is after the first time slot. Between the first and second time slots, the method includes sampling a signal received over a second frequency band and storing the samples. Based on the samples, a received signal quality value is calculated.

Abstract:
Métodos y sistemas para estimar y cancelar la interferencia piloto en un sistema de comunicación inalámbrica (por ejemplo CDMA). En un método, una señal recibida comprendida de un número de instancias de señal, cada una incluyendo un piloto, es inicuamente procesada para proporcionar muestras de datos. Cada interferencia piloto de la instancia de señal puede ser estimada mediante la diseminación de las muestras de datos con una secuencia diseminadora para la instancia de señal, canalizando los datos de-diseminados para proporcionar símbolos pilotos, filtrar los símbolos pilotos para estimar la respuesta del canal a la instancia de señal, y multiplicar la respuesta del canal estimada con la secuencia de diseminación. Los estimados de la interferencia piloto debido a una pluralidad de multi-direccionales interferentes se acumulan para derivar la interferencia piloto total, la cual se resta de las muestras de datos para proporcionar muestras de datos piloto-canceladas. Estas muestras son entonces procesadas para derivar datos de-modulados para cada una de al menos una instancia de señal (deseado) en la señal recibida
