Abstract:
A method for reducing the PAR of a composite carrier includes obtaining the in-phase and quadrature components for each of the carriers in the composite carrier, computing vector magnitudes corresponding to each carrier, then adding the vector magnitudes and comparing the resulting sum to a threshold. If the sum exceeds the threshold, at least of the one of the carriers are attenuated, thereby reducing the PAR of the composite carrier. In one embodiment, only the carrier or carriers having significantly larger vectors are attenuated. The pre-calculation and the subsequent attenuation process allows the composite carrier PAR to be reduced to avoid peak regrowth when the carriers are ultimately combined and transmitted.
Abstract:
A spreading system and method for CDMA applications that requires fewer integer multiplications. User data is spread using real or complex integer based spreading codes of length SF to SFmax chips. At least one of the codes is of the form jn·ν[n] where ν[n] is a spreading code. The invention provides increased user separation using a plurality of spreading codes.
Abstract:
A method for limiting a signal in a radio transmitter comprises giving (302) a signal a limiting threshold, taking (304) at least two samples from the signal for obtaining sample values, adding (306) one or more sample values between the obtained first and at least one subsequent sample values, searching (308) for sample values exceeding the limiting threshold, and if at least one sample value exceeding the limiting threshold is found determining (310) limiting coefficients or reducing coefficients for a predetermined number of sample values by means of the at least one sample value exceeding the limiting threshold, and limiting (312) the signal by one or more determined coefficients.
Abstract:
Transmission waveforms are synthesized from orthogonal subcarriers using appropriate combinations of complex sub-carrier codes. This allows conventional single-carrier signaling (such as GSM and CDMA transmission protocols) to be generated and received using a multicarrier platform that is similar to OFDM. Carrier interferometry provides unprecedented bandwidth efficiency and enables substantial improvements in interference rejection, power efficiency, and system versatility.
Abstract:
Method and apparatus for high rate code-division multiple access wireless communication is described. Each of a channel encoded data is modulated by an associated code having a small number of pseudo-noise spreading chips per orthogonal waveform period, thus producing a set of streams of modulated symbols. Each of the set of streams of modulated symbols is then gain adjusted, and combined to yield two streams of combined symbols. The combination is the set of streams is carried out to reduce a peak-to-average ratio of the transmission. The resulting two combined symbol streams are modulated by a complex multiplyer using a user long code and a pseudorandom spreading code (PN code) and upconverted for transmission.
Abstract:
A code multiplexing transmitting apparatus spread-spectrum modulates transmission data of a plurality of channels by spreading codes that differ from one another, combines the spread-spectrum signals of each of the channels and transmits the resultant spread-spectrum modulated signal. A spread-spectrum modulating unit for each channel includes a phase shifter for shifting, by a predetermined angle channel by channel, the phase of a position vector of the spread-spectrum modulated signal of each channel. As the result of such phase control, the phases of pilot signal portions of the spread-spectrum modulated signals of the respective channels are shifted relative to one another so that the peak values of the code-multiplexed signal can be suppressed.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method for PAPR reduction in an OFDM system are disclosed. On a transmission side, an information sequence is generated by adding CRC bits to an information bit stream and masked with a plurality of different mask sequences. The masked information sequences are inverse-fast-Fourier-transformed. An IFFT sequence having the lowest PAPR is selected among the IFFT sequences.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for demodulation in high rate CDMA wireless communication is described. In a described high rate CDMA wireless system, a transmitter forms a set of individually gain adjusted subscriber channels using a set of orthogonal subchannel codes having a small number of PN spreading chips per orthogonal waveform period. An illustrative high rate CDMA wireless system uses Walsh codes, each having a duration of fewer than sixty-four chips per orthogonal waveform period. A receiver demodulates each of the subscriber channels using the same orthogonal subchannel codes.
Abstract:
A method of channel spread signal coding is provided that enhances error correction coding schemes by further coding error correction coded signals based on a non-linear block error correction coding scheme that introduces a detectable pattern into the signal output prior to transmission. At the receiver end, the detectable pattern may be decorrelated enabling the use of RAKE receivers and enhanced decoding schemes.
Abstract:
A peak cancellation apparatus is included in a base station transmission unit to cancel the peak component of the peak signal. Thus, the base station transmission unit can be implemented with a lower capacity power amplifier. In addition, an existing power amplifier can be replaced with a low-priced power amplifier, so that an expense can be reduced. Moreover, since only the digital signal having the limited PAR is used, the degradation of the signal quality caused in conversion of the digital signal to the analog signal can be prevented. The peak cancellation apparatus includes a peak cancellation unit positioned between a multiplier and a pulse shaping filter or between the pulse shaping filter and a D/A converter and removing a peak component of the peak signal.
