    Abstract: The frame words of the embodiments are suitable for frame synchronization and/or channel estimation. By adding the autocorrelation and/or cross-correlation functions of frame words, double maximum values equal in magnitude and opposite polarity at zero and middle shifts are obtained. This property can be used to slot-by-slot, double-check frame synchronization timing, single frame synchronization and/or channel estimation and allows reduction of the synchronization search time. Further, the present invention allows a simpler construction of a correlator circuit for a receiver. A frame synchronization apparatus and method using an optimal pilot pattern is used in a wide band code division multiple Access (W-CDMA) next generation mobile communication system.

    Abstract: A method for determining the validity of a most significant path in a wireless communication system wherein data is transmitted in frame units in a multipath environment begins by accumulating a correlated data sequence N times, each time at a frame offset apart from the previous time. A preliminary noise estimate (PNE) is calculated as an average of the accumulated data values. A preliminary noise threshold (PNT) is calculated according to the equation C1×PNE. A final noise estimate (FNE) is calculated as the average of accumulated data values below the PNT. A final noise threshold (FNT) is calculated according to the equation C2×FNE. The validity of the most significant path is determined if the most significant path value is greater than the FNT.

    Abstract: Disclosed is a weight vector computing unit using a symbol-rate, a chip-rate and/or a mixed-rate in a Smart Antenna System. The weight vector computing unit is useful in a wireless communication network having a reverse pilot channel. Further, by using such the weight vector computing unit, high-speed broadband communications are available in a smart antenna system. In such 3-G wireless communications where both traffic signals and pilot signals are transmitted from a terminal, the weight vector computing unit calculates optimized weight vectors using the pilot signal and the calculated weight vectors are adapted to each traffic signal. The weight vector computing unit is configured to receive the received signal and/or the integrated signal in order to produce a weight vector for beamforming without any training signal.

    Abstract: Teachings presented herein present a “whitening” channel estimation method and apparatus that produce high-quality net channel estimates for processing a received signal, such as a received CDMA signal. Processing includes forming an initial least squares problem (for medium channel estimates) using known pilot values and corresponding pilot observations for the received signal, transforming the initial least squares problem using a whitening transformation term, and solving the transformed least squares problem to obtain whitened medium channel estimates. The whitening transformation term may be determined, for example, by carrying out a Cholesky factorization of a (traffic) data correlation matrix, which can be obtained from traffic data values for the received signal. Processing further includes converting the whitened medium channel estimates into whitened net channel estimates, which consider the effects of transmit/receive filtering.

In one embodiment, a single correction term generator is used to generate correction terms for tap coefficient updates of each of the equalizer filters based on a pilot signal. In another embodiment, two different correction term generators are used to generate correction terms for each of the equalizer filters, whereby one of the correction term generators uses data received from a hard decision unit at the output of one of the equalizer filters to generate correction terms for both of the equalizer filters.

    Abstract: When a processing delay detection unit (27) detects that an end timing (F) of measurement of the reception quality of a common pilot signal transmitted from a wireless base station has delayed from a creation start time limit for reception quality information, approximate reception quality information (k) is created on the basis of reception quality measured before the creation start time limit. The approximate reception quality information is transmitted to a wireless base station. The delay of the transmission timing of the reception quality information can be prevented, and the wireless base station can quickly set the transmission rate of transmission data to a cellular phone.
