The network device includes a signal generating circuit for generating the expanded long training sequence. The network device also includes an Inverse Fourier Transform for processing the expanded long training sequence from the signal generating circuit and producing an optimal expanded long training sequence with a minimal peak-to-average ratio.

Abstract:
CDMA codes are multiplexed into a constant-envelope composite signal using weighted majority logic. Based on a commanded power allocation among the signal codes, each signal code is assigned a weighting coefficient dictating the voting power the signal code has each time a vote is conducted, in a manner analogous to corporate shareholder voting. To multiplex the signal codes, a majority vote is conducted each chip period by summing the weighted chip values of the signal codes and assigning a binary value to the majority-voted composite chip based on the sign of the sum. An RF carrier is modulated in accordance with the value of the composite chip. The desired power distribution is achieved by requiring the power ratio of each signal code to be proportional to the square of the expected value of the cross-correlation between the signal code and a stored replica of the signal code at the receiver.
Abstract:
A CDMA transmitter that limits the peak-to-average ratio to a selected maximum level. The CDMA transmitter comprises: 1) a first baseband combiner for receiving N baseband chip streams, each of the N baseband chip streams comprising a sequence of chips, each chip having one of a positive amplitude value and a negative amplitude value, wherein the first baseband combiner combines chips from corresponding time slots in each of the N baseband chip streams to thereby generate a first composite baseband chip sequence; 2) a data processor for detecting a first peak amplitude in the first composite baseband chip sequence that exceeds a pre-determined maximum threshold and determining an amplitude and a polarity of a first compensation pulse associated with the first peak amplitude; and 3) a pulse generator for generating the first compensation pulse having the amplitude and the polarity determined by the data processor. The first baseband combiner then combines the first compensation pulse with the first composite baseband chip sequence during a chip time slot corresponding to the first peak amplitude.
Abstract:
Large signal peaks (for example, peaks 105 and 110) can dramatically increase the cost of a communications device by requiring high grade power amplifiers. Peak reduction can reduce the large peaks at a cost of increasing spurious emissions. A circuit (for example, circuit 500) combining a scaling window peak reducing unit (for example, unit 507) and a filter (for example, filter 509) can effectively reduce the signal peaks without significantly increasing spurious emissions.
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.
Abstract:
In the conventional peak factor reduction technique, since the signal has been changed over broad time width before and behind the peak amplitude, the deterioration in signal quality has been great. Through the use of a compensating signal having impulse property that is generated on the peak amplitude, subtraction from the peak amplitude will be performed. Thereby, since it is possible to reduce the deterioration in signal quality that occurs when reducing the peak factor, the peak factor reduction effect can be further enhanced in the same deterioration in signal quality as the conventional one.
Abstract:
In a transmission signal generating circuit, spreading processing circuits spread transmission data to output spread transmission signals. Power class selecting circuits categorize the spread transmission signals into power classes. First adding circuits add/combine the spread transmission signals. Multipliers adjust transmission powers of the spread transmission signals for the respective power classes. A second adding circuit adds/combines the spread transmission signals. A total transmission power measuring means measures a total transmission power. A nonlinear quantization means nonlinearly quantizes the total transmission power and outputs a power level. A power limitation control memory outputs a multiplication coefficient for a power class for which transmission power control is permitted. Selectors select, when transmission power control is permitted for the power class, a multiplication coefficient from the power limitation control memory and output it to the multiplier corresponding to the power class, and select, when transmission power control is inhibited for the power class, a multiplication coefficient formed from a predetermined fixed value, and output it to the multiplier corresponding the power class. A radio base station communication apparatus is also disclosed.

Abstract:
A method and apparatus are provided for generating a code book for use in a CDMA system. The code book comprises of a plurality of vectors that are used to encode user data. The amplitude and polarity for each vector in the code book are selected to provide a reduced peak-to-average power ratio. The amplitude values can be selected to provide a reduced peak-to-average power ratio while maintaining a desired average energy per chip. The desired energy per chip can be based on the energy per chip of a CDMA system having a lower order spreading factor. Performance can be further improved by employing a first code book under a first signal-to-noise ratio condition and a second code book under a second signal-to-noise ratio condition.
