Abstract:
A method for transmitting a transmission time interval signal in a cellular network is described. A multiplexed data signal is received. A demultiplexer is applied to the data signal. The data signal from the demultiplexer is encoded. A linear transform is applied to the data signal. A plurality of uplink transmission time interval signals, which include the data signal, are reformatted. The placement of one or more reference signals are staggered within each of the plurality of transmission time interval signals. Each of the plurality of uplink transmission time interval signals are transmitted.
Abstract:
Upon receiving an instruction to open a radio link, a path management unit designates, for one radio link, a spreading code number for a common pilot channel and a spreading code number for an individual channel to a spreading code generator. The spreading code generator generates spreading codes for the respective channels and sends them to a correlator. The correlator outputs the correlation values between a reception signal (IQ signal), the common pilot channel, and the individual channel. A delay profile unit generates delay profiles concerning the common pilot channel and individual channel by in-phase-adding and power-adding correlation values from the correlator for each channel. The path management unit detects path timings from both the delay profiles concerning the common pilot channel and individual channel, and assigns path timings TM to finger units in descending order of reception power. This improves the stability of reception quality.
Abstract:
A spread spectrum system may include a transmitter and a receiver. The transmitter is configured to transmit a signal having at least one channel, where the signal may include a reference signal, an information signal and a frequency offset between the reference signal and the information signal. The receiver may receive the transmitted signal from the transmitter and mix the received signal in order to retrieve the information signal from the received signal. This allows the receiver to operate at low power (e.g., 10 uW-100 uW).
Abstract:
A receiver having an array antenna estimates arrival directions of multiple paths that arrive with an angular spread. Consequently, arrival direction estimation accuracy can be ensured without increasing throughput even if the power every path is low by estimating an average arrival direction of an entire set of multiple paths having the angular spread from a result of one angular spectrum by multiple correlation operation units that perform mutual correlation operations with pilot signals for baseband signals received by the array antenna, a path detection unit that detects multiple arrival path receiving timings by generating a delay profile based on output of each of the correlation operation units, a path correlation value synthesis unit that synthesizes a correlation operation value calculated in the multiple correlation operation units and an arrival direction estimation unit that collectively estimates multiple path arrival directions using output of the path correlation value synthesis unit.
Abstract:
The frame words of the embodiments are suitable for frame synchronization and/or channel estimation. By adding the autocorrelation and/or cross-correlation functions of frame words, double maximum values equal in magnitude and opposite polarity at zero and middle shifts are obtained. This property can be used to slot-by-slot, double-check frame synchronization timing, single frame synchronization and/or channel estimation and allows reduction of the synchronization search time. Further, the present invention allows a simpler construction of a correlator circuit for a receiver. A frame synchronization apparatus and method using an optimal pilot pattern is used in a wide band code division multiple Access (W-CDMA) next generation mobile communication system.

Abstract:
A code transmitted in a wireless format is to be detected. A power level associated with the code is determined. The determined power level is compared with a plurality of thresholds. A test statistic is increased or decreased based on which of the thresholds that the determined power level falls within. If the test statistic exceeds an acceptance threshold, the code is deemed acquired. If the test statistic is below a dismissal threshold, the code is deemed not present. If the test statistic does not exceed the acceptance threshold and the test statistic is not below the dismissal threshold, the testing for the code is repeated.
Abstract:
A spread spectrum receiver in a communication system compensating channel response, and the method thereof is disclosed. The spread spectrum receiver comprises a multiplier, a filter, a data channel correlator, a delay, and a channel compensator. The multiplier (322) multiplies despread pilots (320) with conjugate of pilot pattern (324) to provide channel estimates. The filter (323) filters the channel estimates from the multiplier (322). The data channel correlator (30) despreads data symbols in a data channel. The delay module (38), coupled to the data channel correlator (30), delays the despread data symbols for a period. The channel compensator (34), coupled to the filter (323) and the delay module (38), compensates the delayed despread data symbols with the filtered channel estimates.
