Abstract:
Communication signal processing entails generating an overall signal correlation estimate that reflects overall impairment present in a received signal before despreading. Processing further includes parametrically constructing one or more component-specific correction terms as a function of one or more component signal correlation estimates, each estimate reflecting a particular component of the overall impairment. Combining weights are derived, as a function of this overall estimate and the correction term(s), so that they exclude the contribution of the impairment component(s) to the overall impairment. These weights are used to combine signal samples in an equalization process. As the combining weights exclude the contribution of the impairment component(s) to the overall impairment, the equalization process utilizing the weights exclusively suppresses impairment that is not attributable to the component(s). This advantageously avoids redundant suppression of the impairment component(s), since processing further includes despreading the received signal in a despreading process that suppresses the component(s).

Abstract:
Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate equalizing inter-sector interference and performing interference cancellation on a forward link by utilizing a combination of pilot interference cancellation followed by selective interference cancellation. Selective interference cancellation can be performed using, for instance, a reduced-rank minimum mean-squared error multi-user detection receiver. A system matrix can be reduced by the combined cancellation protocols, and can be further reduced by performing a fast Hadamard transform there on, which in turn can minimize matrix complexity, as well as computational overhead associated with processing the system matrix.
Abstract:
A method includes receiving a Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) carrier carrying at least a pilot channel. Differences are computed between selected soft pilot symbols received on the pilot channel. Based on the computed differences between the selected soft pilot symbols received on the pilot channel, a level of noise is estimated for a data channel that is to be transmitted on the CDMA carrier.
Abstract:
Techniques for generalized pilot interference cancellation in a communications receiver. In an exemplary embodiment, a residual pilot is cancelled from a post-traffic cancellation signal following initial first-pass pilot cancellation. Residual pilot cancellation is achieved by adding the first-pass cancelled pilot as earlier stored in memory back to the post-traffic cancellation signal, and pilot filtering the resulting signal to generate an improved pilot interference estimate. In an alternative exemplary embodiment, an arbitrary number of iterations may be applied to generate the pilot interference estimate by successively storing each generated pilot interference estimate in memory.
Abstract:
A disclosed communication system includes multiple mobile stations and a base station. The mobile station maps a pilot channel comprising a CAZAC code to a signal including multiple frequency components arranged at regular intervals in a given frequency band, and transmits a transmission signal including the signal according to scheduling information. The mobile station performs the mapping such that its transmission signal and transmission signals of other mobile stations using different frequency bands become orthogonal to each other on a frequency axis. The base station calculates the correlation between a received signal and a pilot channel replica, performs channel estimation, and demodulates the received signal based on the result of channel estimation. The base station generates the pilot channel replica by mapping a pilot channel comprising a CAZAC code to a signal including multiple frequency components arranged at regular intervals in a given frequency band.

Abstract:
Disclosed are a wireless communication base station and a total transmission power regulating method that reduce interference to macrocell users near a femtocell and interference to neighboring femtocell users near the femtocell in a balanced manner, while ensuring throughput of the femtocell users. A reception power measuring unit (214) measures the reception power of a CPICH. A cell type discriminating unit (216) judges whether the received signal is a signal from a macro base station or a signal from a femto base station. When a signal from a macro base station is received, a total downlink transmission power setting unit (217) executes a first-stage interference regulation based on the strongest CPICH reception power value and calculates a tentative value for the total downlink transmission power of a femto base station (110). When a signal from a peripheral femto base station is received, the total downlink transmission power setting unit (217) executes a second-stage interference regulation within a fixed power regulation range for the second-stage interference regulation based on the strongest CPICH reception power value, and calculates a final total downlink transmission power value.
