Abstract:
In a frequency-division multiplexing transmission apparatus for transmitting data in a frequency spectrum specific to a mobile station, a chip-dividing unit divides each symbol of a transmission-symbol sequence into chips; a first phase rotation unit performs π/2 phase rotation for the odd-numbered chips of the divided chips; a chip-repetition and rearrangement unit compresses the time domains of each chip of the chip sequence after phase rotation, then repeats the chips a specified number of times and rearranges the chips of the obtained repetitive-chip sequences so that they have the same arrangement as the original chip sequence; a second phase rotation unit performs phase rotation that changes at a speed specific to a mobile station for each chip of the rearranged repetitive-chip sequence; and a transmission unit transmits said phase-rotated chips.
Abstract:
Code division multiple access (CDMA) is a popular multiple access technique that is used to support multiple users simultaneously in a network. Many variants of CDMA exist, including direct sequence (DS) CDMA, multi-carrier (MC) CDMA, cyclic prefixed (CP) CDMA, and chip interleaved block spread (CIBS) CDMA. In addition to these variations, many receiver architectures are often available for implementation in CDMA systems, such as the well-known RAKE receiver, interference cancellation receivers, and receivers that rely on channel equalisation.Some CDMA schemes are interference limited; that is to say, as the number of users in the network increases, residual interference caused by each user eventually cripples the network, thus rendering simultaneous multiple access nearly impossible. This residual interference generally results from the loss of orthogonality amongst users, which primarily occurs when the channel is temporally dispersive. Several recent developments in block CDMA systems have led to multi-user interference (Mu) free transmission techniques. In these systems, any number of users—up to a given maximum number—can theoretically transmit simultaneously without causing any degradation in system performance. Beyond this maximum number of allowable users, the system becomes interference limited in a similar manner to other CDMA systems.The invention detailed here is in some ways a generalisation of many of the MUI-free techniques given above. In particular, it addresses three important special cases: reduced-complexity SC-FDMA, reduced-complexity OFDMA, and self-shift-orthogonal CP-CDMA. These methods provide scalable, low-complexity, MUI-free techniques. Furthermore, these techniques can easily be extended to multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems.
Abstract:
A Wideband Code-Division Multiple Access (WCDMA) transceiver and a method of operating the same. In one embodiment, the transceiver includes: (1) a transmit chain having a lookup table that provides coefficients to a digital predistorter based on power indicators and (2) a predistorter training circuit, coupled to the transmit chain, that employs a receive chain of the WCDMA transceiver to provide a digital compensation signal that is a function of an output of the transmit chain and employs both the power indicators and the digital compensation signal to cause the lookup table to provide alternative coefficients to the digital predistorter thereby to reduce distortion in the output.

A method for operating a base station employing a CDMA technique comprises combining a plurality of spread spectrum data signals into a combined signal having a fluctuating power level corresponding to the data signals; modulating the combined signal to produce an RF signal; measuring average power of the combined signal over a selected time period; adaptively limiting the combined signal power to a calculated level based at least in part on the measured power; and transmitting the RF signal.
Abstract:
The dynamic range is changed by switching a current applied to an amplifying circuit to obtain the minimum ICP required to keep linearity with the number of multiplexes even when the number of multiplexes of data is changed by switching the operation current of the amplifying circuits of the transmission system and also supplying the information about number of multiplexes of data to be transmitted to the amplifying circuits of the transmission system from the baseband circuit. Thereby, the signal can be transmitted without distortion even when the number of multiplexes increases and the current of the amplifying circuit may be reduced when the number of multiplexes is small in order to reduce the current consumption in the communication semiconductor integrated circuit device which can form a wireless communication system of the code division multiplex system such as W-CDMA system.

Abstract:
Method and apparatus for determining a transmission configuration for a dedicated channel in a wireless communication system. In one embodiment, an optimum configuration is determined based on minimizing Peak-to-Average Ratio (PAR) of the channel. The configuration is defined as a transmission pair of transmission branch and spreading code. The transmission branch may be the In-Phase (I) branch or the Quadrature (Q) branch. PAR analysis may be performed off-line to determine the optimum configuration. In operation, if the spreading code of the optimum configuration is used by another channel, the next best optimum code is used.
