Abstract:
A method employed by a base station for controlling transmission power during the establishment of a communication channel utilizes the reception of a short code during initial power ramp-up. The short code is a sequence for detection by the base station which has a much shorter period than a conventional access code. The ramp-up starts from a power level that is lower than the required power level for detection by the base station. The power of the short code is quickly increased until the signal is detected by the base station. Once the base station detects the short code, it transmits an indication that the short code has been detected.
Abstract:
A method employed by a subscriber station for controlling transmission power during the establishment of a communication channel utilizes the transmission of a short code from a subscriber unit during initial power ramp-up. The short code is a sequence which has a much shorter period than a conventional access code. The ramp-up starts from a low initial power level, and the power is quickly increased while repeatedly transmitting the short code until the subscriber unit receives an indication that the short code has been detected.
Abstract:
An arbitration system which allows communication between a plurality of competing processing modules over a shared communication bus. The system comprises an arbitration line coupled to a controller located on each processing module. When a processing module desires access to the communication bus, each controller, executing the same arbitration protocol, shifts its respective module address onto the arbitration line and monitors the arbitration line to detect for collisions.
Abstract:
A chip synchronization composite code match filter and a frame synchronization composite code match filter are disclosed and respectively serve as the first and second stages of a mobile terminal which also has a third stage for providing a scrambling code identification function. These three stages complete the acquisition function for the mobile terminal. The mobile terminal is particularly suited for operational interaction in the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) Standard. Both the chip synchronization and frame synchronization composite code match filters utilize the hierarchial structure of the Golay code in a manner so as to reduce the components needed to accomplish the chip and frame synchronization functions for the mobile terminal operating within the 3GPP standards.
Abstract:
A code-division-multiple-access (CDMA) system employing spread-spectrum modulation. The CDMA system has a base station (BS), and a plurality of subscriber units. The signals transmitted between the base station and subscriber unit use spread-spectrum modulation. The improvement method for adaptive forward power control (APC) from a base station (BS) to a subscriber unit (SU), comprises the steps of sending from the base station, using spread-spectrum modulation, a BS-spreading code on a forward channel. The subscriber unit despreads the BS-spreading code on the forward channel as a despread signal, determines a first power level Pd which includes power of the despread signal plus noise and a second power level PN, which includes despread-noise power. The subscriber unit determines a first error signal e1, from the first power level Pd, the second power level PN, and a required signal-to-noise ratio SNRREQ for service type, and a second error signal e2, from a measure of total received power Pr and an automatic gain control (AGC) set point Po. The subscriber unit forms a combined error signal from the first error signal e1, the second error signal e2, a first weight a1 and a second weight a2, and hard limits the combined error signal to form a single APC bit. The APC bit is transmitted to the base station. In response to the APC bit, the base station adjusts transmitter power to the subscriber unit.
Abstract:
The present invention increases the detection accuracy of each of a first to a third steps of cell search to reduce the time required for detecting correct frame boundaries and scramble code. A mobile station inputs a received signal to a matched filter corresponding to a primary synchronization code PSC, and a multi-slot averaging section executes averaging over a plurality of slots in order to reduce the adverse effects of noise and interference. After the averaging over the plurality of slots, a multi-search averaging section further executes averaging over a plurality of searches. Subsequently, a peak detector selects a timing with which an average correlation value is largest, to detect slot boundaries.
Abstract:
A mobile wireless transceiver selects one of multiple nearby base stations to facilitate communication over a wireless network. Each base station transmits a pilot signal that includes a spreading signal transmitted at one of many possible phase offsets. The wireless transceiver selects an initial one of the possible phase offsets of the spreading signal and then correlates a received signal against the spreading signal at consecutive ones of the possible phase offsets. Correlation begins at the selected initial phase offset and continues until a component of the received signal and the spreading signal are aligned, indicating the detection of the pilot signal from one of the base stations. The transceiver then selects a non-consecutive one of the possible phase offsets of the spreading signal and correlates the received signal against the spreading signal at this non-consecutive phase offset to determine whether any other component of the received signal is aligned with the spreading signal at the selected non-consecutive phase offset.

A method and a system for handling resources in purpose to avoid congestion in a cellular radio system, comprising at least one mobile terminal (1) connectable to a network via at least one base station (3,5,7,9,11,13; 50). According to the invention the method comprises the steps: receiving in the at least one base station (3,5,7,9,11,13; 50) a signal sent from a mobile terminal (1), the receiving in different base stations (3,5,7) corresponding to different radio paths (uplinks) of the signal; deriving from these uplinks a resulting signal corresponding to the signal sent from the mobile terminal (1); determining the importance of each uplink to the resulting signal; deciding according to the determination which downlinks that should be given less power or be removed if there is or is about to be a shortage of resources, in purpose to free resources; controlling the power of the decided downlinks if there is or is about to be a shortage of resources.

A spread spectrum code division multiple access communication system has a plurality of traffic channels. A plurality of traffic lights have a red state and a green state. Each traffic light is associated with a traffic channel. The state of each traffic light is based on an availability of that traffic light's associated traffic channel. The base station broadcasts each traffic light over a broadcast channel.
Abstract:
Threshold judging circuit 151 performs a threshold judgment on a correlation value output from each of search correlators 104-1 to 104-n. Rank determining circuit 152 ranks phases output from threshold judging circuit 151 in descending order of correlation value. Candidate path determining circuit 153 determines a phase with a high correlation value in the short integration as a candidate path to assign to one of search correlators 104-1 to 104-n sequentially, and outputs a control signal for generating an operation clock based on an assignment result to clock generator 106. Demodulation phase determining circuit 154 determines a candidate path with a highest correlation value in the long integration to be optimal for use in demodulation, and outputs a control signal for generating an operation clock based on a determined result to clock generator 106. It is thereby possible to perform a cell search fast without increasing a hardware scale.
