Definitions
- the present invention generally relates to the field of data communications and processing and, more particularly, to a method for encoding/decoding data channels in a CDMA system having data channel interference cancellation.
- CDMA modulation is a multi-user access transmission scheme in which different users of the same transmission medium overlap both in frequency and in time. This is in contrast to Frequency Division Multiple Access (FDMA) in which users overlap in time, but are assigned unique frequencies, and Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) in which users overlap in frequency, but are assigned unique timeslots.
- FDMA Frequency Division Multiple Access
- TDMA Time Division Multiple Access
- each user is assigned a unique code sequence that allows the user to spread its information over the entire channel bandwidth, as opposed to particular sub-channel(s) in FDMA.
- signals from all users are transmitted over the entire channel.
- cross correlation is performed on the received signal using the same unique user code sequence.
- CDMA transmission is well known to those of skill in the art.
- a comparison between CDMA and FDMA/TDMA may be found in Proakis, “Digital Communications”, Chapter 15, which is incorporated herein by reference.
- an example of a combined approach for minimizing inter-user interference i.e., combining a Walsh basis within a group and a spreading sequence across groups
- IS-95 system described in TIA/EIA/IS-95 “Mobile Station Compatibility Standard for Dual Mode Wideband Spread Spectrum Cellular System”, which is incorporated herein by reference.
- the forward link consists of four types of logical channels, i.e., pilot, sync, paging, and traffic channels, with one pilot channel, one sync channel, up to seven paging channels, and several traffic channels.
- Each of these forward-linked channels is first spread orthogonally by its Walsh function, and then spread by a pair of short PN sequences (so-called pseudonoise) each of which is a sequence of high data rate bits (“Chips”) ranging from ⁇ 1 to +1 (polar) or 0 to 1 (non-polar). Subsequently, all channels in the system are added together to form the composite spread spectrum signal which is transmitted on the forward link.
- the reverse link in the IS-95 CDMA system consists of two types of logical channels, i.e., access and traffic channels. Each of these reverse-link channels is spread orthogonally by a unique long PN sequence; hence each channel is recovered or decoded using the distinct long PN code. In some instances, a pilot channel is not used on the reverse link based on the impracticality of each mobile station broadcasting its own pilot sequence. Additionally, the IS-95 CDMA system uses 64 Walsh functions which are orthogonal to each other (i.e., their cross-product is equal to zero), and each of the logic channels on the forward link is identified by its assigned Walsh function. The Walsh function is used to generate a code which is used to separate individual users occupying the same RF band to avoid mutual interference on the forward link.
- the access channel is used by the mobile station to communicate with the base station when a traffic channel is not assigned to the mobile station.
- the mobile station uses the access channel to generate call originations and respond to pages and orders.
- the baseband data rate of the access channel is fixed at 4.8 kilobits per second (Kbps).
- the pilot channel is identified by the Walsh function 0 ( ⁇ 0 ). This channel contains no baseband sequence information.
- the baseband sequence is a stream of 0s which are spread by Walsh function 0, which is also a sequence of all zeros.
- the resulting sequence (still all 0s) is then spread or multiplied by a pair of quadrature PN sequences. Therefore, the pilot channel is effectively the PN sequence itself.
- the PN sequence with a specified offset uniquely identifies the particular geographical area or sector from which the user is transmitting the pilot signal.
- both Walsh function 0 and the PN sequence operate at a rate of 1.2288 mega chips per second (Mcps). After PN spreading, baseband filters are used to shape the resultant digital pulses.
- the pilot channel is transmitted continuously by the base station sector.
- the pilot channel provides the mobile station with timing and phase reference.
- the measurement of the signal-to-noise ratio of the pilot channel by the mobile station also provides an indication of the strongest serving sector of that mobile.
- the signal-to noise is the energy per chip per interference density, or E c /I 0 where E c is the energy per chip and I 0 is the interference density.
- the sync channel carries baseband information.
- the baseband information is contained in the sync channel message which notifies the mobile of information concerning system synchronization and parameters.
- the paging channel Similar to the sync channel, the paging channel also carries baseband information. However, unlike the sync channel, the paging channel transmits at a higher rate, i.e., at either 4.8 or 9.6 Kbps.
- the forward and reverse traffic channels are used to transmit user data and voice; signaling messages are also sent over the traffic channel.
- the structure of the forward traffic channel is similar to that of the paging channel, while the structure of the reverse traffic channel is similar to that of the access channel. The only difference is that the forward traffic channel contains multiplexed power control bits (PCBs) and the reverse traffic channel contains a data burst randomizer which is used to generate a masking pattern of 0s and 1s to randomly mask redundant data.
- PCBs power control bits
- TDMA time
- FDMA frequency
- TDMA time division multiple access
- FDMA frequency division multiple access
- the two sequences x and y are orthogonal if their cross-product R xy (0) is zero.
- the cross product is defined as
- T denotes the vector transpose, i.e., a column represented as a row or vice versa.
- x and y are orthogonal:
- each code in the set of orthogonal codes must have an equal number of 1s and ⁇ 1s. This property provides each particular code with the required pseudorandom characteristic.
- An additional property is that the dot product of each code scaled by the order of the code must equal to 1. The order of the code is effectively the length of the code, and the dot product is defined as a scalar obtained by multiplying the sequence by itself and summing the individual terms. This is given by the following relationship:
- the present invention is directed to a method for encoding/decoding data channels in a system having data channel interference cancellation.
- the data rate of a system for a given user is increased by using a non-orthogonal pilot signal for channelization.
- one or more orthogonal channels become available for user traffic, rather than for use by the pilot channel. This leads to a reduction in the number of occupied orthogonal channels and an increase in system capacity available for each user due to the attainment of higher data rates which permit faster data delivery to system subscribers.
- non-orthogonal pilot signal requires interference cancellation to remove the modulation effects of the pilot signal upon the data signal. This is accomplished by regenerating interference terms with respect to the non-orthogonal pilot signal and subtracting them from the demodulated data signal.

- The present invention generally relates to the field of data communications and processing and, more particularly, to a method for encoding/decoding data channels in a CDMA system having data channel interference cancellation.
- Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) modulation is a multi-user access transmission scheme in which different users of the same transmission medium overlap both in frequency and in time. This is in contrast to Frequency Division Multiple Access (FDMA) in which users overlap in time, but are assigned unique frequencies, and Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) in which users overlap in frequency, but are assigned unique timeslots. According to CDMA, each user is assigned a unique code sequence that allows the user to spread its information over the entire channel bandwidth, as opposed to particular sub-channel(s) in FDMA. Thus, signals from all users are transmitted over the entire channel. To separate out the signals for a particular user at a receiver, cross correlation is performed on the received signal using the same unique user code sequence.
- CDMA transmission is well known to those of skill in the art. A comparison between CDMA and FDMA/TDMA may be found in Proakis, “Digital Communications”, Chapter 15, which is incorporated herein by reference. Also, an example of a combined approach for minimizing inter-user interference (i.e., combining a Walsh basis within a group and a spreading sequence across groups) is the IS-95 system described in TIA/EIA/IS-95 “Mobile Station Compatibility Standard for Dual Mode Wideband Spread Spectrum Cellular System”, which is incorporated herein by reference.
- An IS-95 CDMA system is unique in that its forward and reverse links (i.e., the base station to mobile station and mobile station to base station) have different link structures. This is necessary to accommodate the requirements of a land-mobile communication system. The forward link consists of four types of logical channels, i.e., pilot, sync, paging, and traffic channels, with one pilot channel, one sync channel, up to seven paging channels, and several traffic channels. Each of these forward-linked channels is first spread orthogonally by its Walsh function, and then spread by a pair of short PN sequences (so-called pseudonoise) each of which is a sequence of high data rate bits (“Chips”) ranging from −1 to +1 (polar) or 0 to 1 (non-polar). Subsequently, all channels in the system are added together to form the composite spread spectrum signal which is transmitted on the forward link.
- The reverse link in the IS-95 CDMA system consists of two types of logical channels, i.e., access and traffic channels. Each of these reverse-link channels is spread orthogonally by a unique long PN sequence; hence each channel is recovered or decoded using the distinct long PN code. In some instances, a pilot channel is not used on the reverse link based on the impracticality of each mobile station broadcasting its own pilot sequence. Additionally, the IS-95 CDMA system uses 64 Walsh functions which are orthogonal to each other (i.e., their cross-product is equal to zero), and each of the logic channels on the forward link is identified by its assigned Walsh function. The Walsh function is used to generate a code which is used to separate individual users occupying the same RF band to avoid mutual interference on the forward link. The access channel is used by the mobile station to communicate with the base station when a traffic channel is not assigned to the mobile station. The mobile station uses the access channel to generate call originations and respond to pages and orders. The baseband data rate of the access channel is fixed at 4.8 kilobits per second (Kbps).
- The pilot channel is identified by the Walsh function 0 (ω0). This channel contains no baseband sequence information. The baseband sequence is a stream of 0s which are spread by Walsh
function 0, which is also a sequence of all zeros. The resulting sequence (still all 0s) is then spread or multiplied by a pair of quadrature PN sequences. Therefore, the pilot channel is effectively the PN sequence itself. The PN sequence with a specified offset uniquely identifies the particular geographical area or sector from which the user is transmitting the pilot signal. In an IS-95 CDMA system, both Walsh function 0 and the PN sequence operate at a rate of 1.2288 mega chips per second (Mcps). After PN spreading, baseband filters are used to shape the resultant digital pulses. These filters effectively lowpass filter the digital pulse stream and control the baseband spectrum of the signal. As a result, the signal band possesses a sharper roll-off near the band edge. The pilot channel is transmitted continuously by the base station sector. The pilot channel provides the mobile station with timing and phase reference. The measurement of the signal-to-noise ratio of the pilot channel by the mobile station also provides an indication of the strongest serving sector of that mobile. Here, the signal-to noise is the energy per chip per interference density, or Ec/I0 where Ec is the energy per chip and I0 is the interference density. - Unlike the pilot channel, the sync channel carries baseband information. The baseband information is contained in the sync channel message which notifies the mobile of information concerning system synchronization and parameters. Similar to the sync channel, the paging channel also carries baseband information. However, unlike the sync channel, the paging channel transmits at a higher rate, i.e., at either 4.8 or 9.6 Kbps.
- The forward and reverse traffic channels are used to transmit user data and voice; signaling messages are also sent over the traffic channel. The structure of the forward traffic channel is similar to that of the paging channel, while the structure of the reverse traffic channel is similar to that of the access channel. The only difference is that the forward traffic channel contains multiplexed power control bits (PCBs) and the reverse traffic channel contains a data burst randomizer which is used to generate a masking pattern of 0s and 1s to randomly mask redundant data.
- The techniques for separating signals in time (i.e., TDMA), or in frequency (i.e., FDMA) are relatively simple ways of ensuring that the signals are orthogonal and noninterfereing. However, in CDMA, different users occupy the same bandwidth at the same, but are separated from each other via the use of a set of orthogonal waveforms, sequences, or codes. Two real-valued waveforms x and y are said to be orthogonal if their cross correlation Rxy over time period T is zero, where
-
- In discrete time, the two sequences x and y are orthogonal if their cross-product Rxy(0) is zero. The cross product is defined as
-
- In this case, T denotes the vector transpose, i.e., a column represented as a row or vice versa. For example, the following two sequences or codes, x and y are orthogonal:
-
x T=[−1−111] -
y T=[−111−1] - because their cross-correlation is zero; that is
-
R xy(0)=x T y T=(−1)(−1)+(−1)(1)+(1)(1)+(1)(−1) (Eq. 3) - In order for the set of codes to be used in a multiple access scheme, additional properties are required. That is, in addition to the zero cross-correlation property, each code in the set of orthogonal codes must have an equal number of 1s and −1s. This property provides each particular code with the required pseudorandom characteristic. An additional property is that the dot product of each code scaled by the order of the code must equal to 1. The order of the code is effectively the length of the code, and the dot product is defined as a scalar obtained by multiplying the sequence by itself and summing the individual terms. This is given by the following relationship:

- The increasing use of wireless telephones and personal computers has led to a corresponding demand for such advanced telecommunications techniques as CDMA, FDMA and TDMA, which were once thought to be only meant for use in specialized applications. In the 1980's wireless voice communication became widely available through the cellular telephone network. Such services were at first typically considered to be the exclusive province of the businessman because of high subscriber costs. The same was also true for access to remotely distributed computer networks, whereby until very recently, only business people and large institutions could afford the necessary computers and wireline access equipment. As a result of the widespread availability of both technologies, the general population now increasingly wishes to not only have access to networks such as the Internet and private intranets, but also to access such networks in a wireless manner as well. This is of particular concern to the users of portable computers, laptop computers, hand-held personal digital assistants and the like who prefer to access such networks without being tethered to a telephone line.
- However, there is still no widely available satisfactory solution for providing low cost, broad geographical coverage, high speed access to the Internet, private intranets, and other networks using the existing wireless infrastructure. This situation is a result of several factors. For one, the typical manner of providing high speed data service in the business environment over the wireline network is not readily adaptable to the voice grade service which is available in most homes or offices. Additionally, such standard high speed data services do not lend themselves well to efficient transmission over standard cellular wireless handsets. Furthermore, the existing cellular network was originally designed only to deliver voice services. As a result, the emphasis in present day digital wireless communication schemes lies with voice, although certain schemes such as CDMA do provide some measure of asymmetrical behavior for the accommodation of data transmission. For example, the data rate on an IS-95 forward traffic channel can be adjusted in increments from 1.2 Kbps to up to 9.6 Kbps for so-called
Rate Set 1, and for increments from 1.8 Kbps up to 14.4 Kbps forRate Set 2. - Existing systems therefore typically provide a radio channel which can accommodate maximum data rates only in the range of 14.4 Kbps at best in the forward direction. Such a low rate data channel does not directly lend itself to transmitting data at rates of 28.8 or even 56.6 Kbps which are now commonly available with conventional modem type equipment. Data rates at these levels are rapidly becoming the minimum acceptable rates for activities such as Internet access. Other types of data networks using higher speed building blocks such as Digital Subscriber Line (xDSL) service are just now coming into use. However, the cost of xDSL service has only recently been reduced to the point where it is attractive to the residential customer.
- Although xDSL and Integrate Services Digital Network (ISDN) networks were known at the time that cellular systems were originally deployed, for the most part, there is no provision for providing higher speed ISDN or xDSL grade data services over cellular networks. Unfortunately, in wireless environments, access to channels by multiple subscribers is expensive and there is competition for them. Whether the multiple access is provided by the traditional FDMA using analog modulation on a group of radio carriers, or by the newer digital modulation schemes which permit sharing of a radio carrier using TDMA or CDMA, the nature of the radio spectrum is that it is a medium which is expected to be shared. This is quite different from the traditional environment for data transmission, in which the wireline medium is relatively inexpensive to obtain, and is therefore not typically intended to be shared. Accordingly, it is apparent that there is a need to provide a system which supports higher speed ISDN or xDSL grade data services over cellular network topologies. In particular, what is needed is an efficient scheme for supporting wireless data communication such as from portable computers to computer networks such as the Internet and private intranets using widely available infrastructure.
- Most modern wireless standards in widespread use such as CDMA do not provide an adequate structure with which to support the most common activities, such as web page browsing. In the forward and reverse link direction, the maximum available channel bandwidth in an IS-95 type CDMA system is only 14.4 Kbps. Due to IS-95 being circuit-switched, there are only a maximum of 64 circuit-switched users that can be active at one time. In practicality, this limit is difficult to attain, and 20 or 30 simultaneous users are typically active at one time. Furthermore, existing CDMA systems require certain operations before a channel can be used. For example, both access and traffic channels are modulated by so-called long code pseudonoise (PN) sequences. In addition, in order for the receiver to work properly it must first be synchronized with the transmitter. The setting up and tearing down of user channels therefore requires overhead to perform such synchronization. This overhead results in a reduction of the system data rate which produces a noticeable delay to a user of a subscriber unit. Moreover, in the presence of benign cell conditions, the data rate of a conventional CDMA system may become limited by the number of available orthogonal code channels.
- The present invention is directed to a method for encoding/decoding data channels in a system having data channel interference cancellation. In accordance with the invention, the data rate of a system for a given user is increased by using a non-orthogonal pilot signal for channelization. As a result, one or more orthogonal channels become available for user traffic, rather than for use by the pilot channel. This leads to a reduction in the number of occupied orthogonal channels and an increase in system capacity available for each user due to the attainment of higher data rates which permit faster data delivery to system subscribers.
- The use of a non-orthogonal pilot signal requires interference cancellation to remove the modulation effects of the pilot signal upon the data signal. This is accomplished by regenerating interference terms with respect to the non-orthogonal pilot signal and subtracting them from the demodulated data signal.

FIGS. 8A and 8B are flow charts illustrating the steps of the method according to the invention. - When referred to hereafter, the terminology “wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU)” includes but is not limited to a user equipment (UE), a mobile station, a fixed or mobile subscriber unit, a pager, a cellular telephone, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a computer, or any other type of user device capable of operating in a wireless environment. When referred to hereafter, the terminology “base station” includes but is not limited to a Node-B, a site controller, an access point (AP), or any other type of interfacing device capable of operating in a wireless environment.
-
FIG. 1 is a block diagram of awireless communication system 100 which uses data channel interference cancellation to remove unwanted non-orthogonal pilot signal components present within the data signal. This results in a reduction in the number of occupied orthogonal channels and an increase in system capacity. This yields an increase in the system data rate which results in a reduction of the delay experienced by the user of the subscriber unit. As a result, high speed data and voice service over a wireless connection is achieved. - The
system 100 includes two different types of components, such as subscriber units 101-1, 101-2, . . . , 101-u (collectively, the subscriber unit 101) and one ormore base stations 170. Thesubscriber units 101 andbase stations 170 cooperate to provide the functions necessary to provide wireless data services to aportable computing device 110 such as a laptop computer, portable computer, personal digital assistance (PDA) or the like associated with asubscriber unit 101. Thebase station 170 also cooperates with thesubscriber units 101 to permit the ultimate transmission of data to and from thesubscriber unit 101 and the public switch telephone network (PSTN) 180. More particularly, data and/or voice services are also provided by thesubscriber unit 101 to theportable computer 110 as well as one or more devices such as telephones. The telephones themselves may in turn be connected to other modems and computers which are not shown inFIG. 1 . - The
subscriber unit 101 itself may include a modem, such as anISDN modem 120, a device referred to herein as aprotocol converter 130 which performs various functions including spooling 132 andbandwidth management 134,CDMA transceiver 140, andsubscriber unit antenna 150. The various components of thesubscriber unit 101 may be realized in discrete devices or as an integrated unit. For example, an existingconventional ISDN modem 120 such as is readily available from any number of manufacturers may be used together with existingCDMA transceivers 140. In this case, the necessary additional functions may be provided entirely by theprotocol converter 130 which may be sold as a separate device. Alternatively, theISDN modem 120,protocol converter 130 andCDMA transceiver 140 may be integrated as a complete unit and sold as a singlesubscriber unit device 101. Other types of interface connections such as Ethernet or PCMCIA may be used to connect the computing device to theprotocol converter 130. The device may also interface to an Ethernet interface rather than an ISDN “U” interface. - The
ISDN modem 120 converts data and voice signals between the format used by theterminal equipment 110 and the format required by the standard ISDN “U” interface. The U interface is a reference point in ISDN systems that designates a point of the connection between the network termination (NT) and the telephone company. - The
protocol converter 130 performs spooling 132 andbasic bandwidth management 134 functions. In general, spooling 132 consists of insuring that thesubscriber unit 101 communicates with theterminal equipment 110 which is connected to the public switchedtelephone network 180 on the other side of thebase station 170 at all times. Thebandwidth management function 134 is responsible for allocating and deallocatingCDMA radio channels 160 as required.Bandwidth management 134 also includes the dynamic management of the bandwidth allocated to a given session by dynamically assigning sub-portions of theCDMA radio channels 160. TheCDMA transceiver 140 accepts the data from theprotocol converter 130 and reformats the data into the appropriate form for transmission through thesubscriber unit antenna 150 over CDMA radio link 160-1. TheCDMA transceiver 140 may operate over only a single 1.25 MHz radio frequency channel, or may be tunable over multiple allocatable radio frequency channels. - CDMA signal transmissions from the
subscriber units 101 are received and processed by thebase station equipment 170. Thebase station equipment 170 typically includesmultichannel antennas 171,multiple CDMA transceivers 172 and abandwidth management function 174.Bandwidth management 174 controls the allocation ofCDMA radio channels 160 and subchannels, in a manner analogous to thesubscriber unit 101.Transceiver 172 demodulates the received CDMA signals, and thebase station 170 couples the demodulated radio signals to thePSTN 180 in a manner which is well known in the art. For example, thebase station 170 may communicate with thePSTN 180 over any number of different efficient communication protocols such as primary rate ISDN, or other LAPD based protocol such as IS-634 or V5.2. - It should also be understood that data signals travel bidirectionally across the
CDMA radio channels 160. In other words, data signals received from thePSTN 180 are coupled to theportable computer 110 in a forward link direction, and data signals originating at theportable computer 110 are coupled to thePSTN 180 in a reverse link direction. - Each of the CDMA transceivers such as
transceiver 140 in thesubscriber unit 101, andtransceivers 172 in thebase station 170, are capable of being tuned at any given point in time to a given 1.25 Megahertz radio frequency channel. It is generally understood that such 1.25 MHz radio frequency carrier provides, at best, a total equivalent of about 500, 600 kbps maximum data rate transmission within acceptable bit error rate limitations. -
FIG. 2 is a schematic block diagram ofCDMA transceivers wireless communication system 100 for implementing the method according to the present invention. Specifically,FIG. 2 is a block diagram of a transmitter portion of atransceiver 140 and a receiver portion oftransceiver 172. Initially,pilot spreader 201 is used to modulate a non-orthogonal pilot signal such that the pilot signal is spread over an entire channel bandwidth. Concurrently,data spreader 204 is used to spread data over the same channel bandwidth. The spread pilot and data signals are then combined to form a composite signal S(t) which is transmitted tobase station 170 for despreading by pilot despreader 202 and data despreader 205, respectively. Thedespreaders pilot despreader 202 and data despreader 205 are fed to aninterference canceller 203 which is used to remove interference introduced into the data signal by the non-orthogonal pilot signal. Once the interference from the non-orthogonal pilot signal is removed by theinterference canceller 203, the original data is recovered viadot product calculator 206 and output for later processing by a communications system (not shown). -
FIG. 3 is a block diagram of a pilot/data spreader FIG. 2 which are used to modulate the non-orthogonal pilot and data signals such that they are spread over an entire channel bandwidth. Atnodes pilot spreader 201, a non-orthogonal pilot signal P is modulated by a channel code pc, which is used to uniquely identify the transmitted pilot signal P. Atnodes data spreader 204, a data signal which is split into sub-band data I and Q is mixed with a signal gi which represents a specific channel code of a user (I and Q represent the in-phase and quadrature portions of the data signal, respectively). Atnode 201 c/204 c, the output signal fromnode 201 a is summed with the output signal fromnode 204 a to produce a resultant signal. Simultaneously, atnode 201 d/204 d, the output signal fromnode 204 b is summed with the output signal fromnode 201 b to produce a resultant signal. - At
nodes 201 e/204 e and 201 f/204 f, the resultant signals are each modulated by a PN code a. Next, in order to provide baseband or phase discrimination between the I and Q sub-band portions of the data signal, the output signals ofnodes 201 e/204 e and 201 f/204 f are modulated (i.e., spread) by channel separation signals wI and wQ, respectively, at nodes 201 g/204 g and 201 h/204 h, respectively. In this case, the channel separation signals wI and wQ belong to a family of orthogonal functions such as those disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,460,992 to Gutleber, which is incorporated herein by reference as if set forth expressly. Each respective channel separation signal spreads the in-phase portion and quadrature portion of the data signal to produce composite signals. At thenodes 201 i/204 i and 201 j/204 j, the respective composite output signals from nodes 201 g/204 g and 201 h/204 h are subsequently modulated by respective cosine and sine functions (i.e., cos(wt+θ) and sin(wt+θ)). The output signals fromnodes 201 i/204 i and 204 j/201 j are then summed to form a composite signal S(t) given by the following relationship: -
S(t)=Pap c w 1 cos(wt+θ)+Pap c w Q sin(wt+θ)+I n aw I g i cos(wt+θ)+Q n aw Q g i sin(wt+θ) (Eq. 5) - The signal given by the relationship in equation 5 is transmitted to
base station 170 which contains a data despreader 205 (seeFIG. 6 ) for use in the demodulation of the transmitted composite signal S(t) to recover the original data signal. -
FIG. 4 is a schematic block diagram of adata despreader 205 which is used in the recovery of the originally transmitted data signal. In the data despreader 205 shown inFIG. 4 , the signal S(t) given in equation 5 is initially decoded by demodulating S(t) by cos(wt) and sin(wt) atnodes nodes nodes nodes nodes node 205 c is demodulated by the channel separation function w, atnode 205 e, while atnode 205 h the output signal ofnode 205 d is demodulated by a channel separation function −wI which is a complex conjugate of the channel separation function wI. The output signals ofnodes nodes - Given two codes A and B of length n, an integration and dump function occurs when the lengths of the codes are matched, multiplied together, integrated and the result output for further processing. In this manner, an integration and dump function is then performed at
nodes 205 m-205 p, respectively, upon the output signals ofnodes 205 i-205 l to obtain the following relationships: -
- where each summation term in equations 6-9 represents interference due to the pilot signal which must be removed to accurately reconstruct the originally transmitted data signal, and each N in the summation is the processing gain.
-
FIG. 5 is an illustration of thepilot despreader 202 which is used to recover the originally transmitted pilot signal P. To accomplish this, the transmitted composite signal S(t), given by the relationship in equation 14, is demodulated by cosine and sine functions (i.e., cos(ωt) and sin(ωt)) atnodes nodes nodes nodes nodes node 205 c is demodulated by the channel separation function wI, atnode 202 e, while atnode 202 h the output signal ofnode 202 d is demodulated by the channel separation function −wI. The output signals ofnodes nodes nodes 202 i-202 l, the integration and dump function is performed to obtain the output signals given by the following relationships atnodes -
- where N is the processing gain.
- As shown in
FIG. 5 , four output signals are generated which each contain interference as a result of the demodulation process. Equations 10-13 represent the output signal atnodes 202 m, 202 n, 202 o and 202 p, respectively. In this case, the eight summation terms in equations 10-13 represent the interference added to the pilot signal as a result of the demodulation process. Atnode 202 q, the output signals fromnodes 202 m and 202 o are subsequently subjected to an additional integration and dump function, while the integration and dump function is performed on the output signals from nodes 202 n and 202 p atnode 202 r. As a result, the signals are filtered such that the interference is removed and the originally transmitted pilot signal P is recovered. - Along with the output of the
pilot despreader 202, the output of the data despreader 205 is provided to aninterference canceller 203 shown inFIG. 6 . The output of the pilot despreader is fed to the input of theinterference canceller 203, and the output of theinterference canceller 203 is subtracted from the output of the data despreader 205 in a manner which is known to yield I and Q sub-band data signals which do not contain interference associated with the pilot signal P. - The
interference canceller 203 shown inFIG. 6 is used to remove the interference associated with the pilot signal P which is introduced into the data signal during the demodulation process. The interference added to the data signal is represented by the summation terms in the relationships given in equations 6-9. To remove the interference from the despread data signals, the P cos(θ) and P sin(θ) inputs of theinterference canceller 203 are each modulated by the channel code pc atnodes nodes nodes -
- where N is the processing gain.
- Next, the output signals from
nodes nodes nodes nodes nodes -
- where N is the processing gain.
- The relationships expressed in equations 14-17 are subtracted from the respective expressions found in equations 6-9 to remove the interference from the I and Q sub-band data signals. At this point, once the interference is removed from the data signal, complete recovery of the data signal is possible.
-
FIG. 7 is an illustration of an exemplarydot product calculator 206 for performing a dot product calculation to recover the original data signal. After removal of the interference terms given in equations 14-17, each respective portion of the In and Qn sub-band data signals is forwarded to thedot product calculator 206. The respective cosine and sine portions of the pilot signal P which are output from thepilot despreader 202 are also forwarded to thedot product calculator 206, as shown inFIG. 7 . Atnodes nodes node 206 e, the output signal ofnodes -
PI n cos(θ−{circumflex over (θ)})≈PI n (Eq. 18) - At
node 206 f, the output signals ofnodes -
PQ n cos(θ−{circumflex over (θ)})≈PQ n (Eq. 19) - where the ̂ term in equations 18 and 19 indicates a coarse estimate of the phase over one symbol (i.e., the number of chips per signal). At this point, one skilled in the art will readily appreciate that equations 18 and 19 represent the originally transmitted I and Q sub-band data signals, where each sub-band is multiplied by the pilot signal P.

FIGS. 8A and 8B are flow charts of the method for using a non-orthogonal pilot signal according to the invention. Instep 10, a non-orthogonal pilot signal P is modulated by a channel code pc. Simultaneously, a data signal which is split into sub-band data I and Q is mixed with a specific channel code of a user gi. Instep 20, the non-orthogonal pilot signal is then summed with the I and Q sub-band data signals to produce resultant signals. - In
step 30, the resultant signals are then modulated by a PN code a. Instep 40, to provide baseband or phase discrimination between the I and Q sub-band portions of the data signal, the resultant output signals are modulated (i.e., spread) by channel separation signals wI, and wQ. Instep 50, the respective composite output signals are modulated by respective cosine and sine functions (i.e., cos(wt+θ) and sin(wt+θ). Instep 60, the cosine and sine output signals are then summed to form the composite signal S(t) which is transmitted to thebase station 170. - In
step 70, the composite signal S(t) is initially decoded by demodulating it with cos(wt) and sin(wt). Next instep 80, the resultant output signal is demodulated by the PN code a. Instep 90, the resultant signal is demodulated by the channel separation function wQ. Concurrently, the resultant signal with respect to cos(wt) is demodulated by the channel separation function wI, while the resultant signal with respect to sin(wt) is demodulated by a channel separation function −wI. Instep 100, the signals which were demodulated by the channel separation function wQ are then demodulated by the channel code of a user gi and the channel code pc. - In
step 110, an integration and dump function is performed upon the resultant output signal to obtain the demodulated data signal containing the interference. Concurrently, an integration and dump function is also performed to obtain the demodulated non-orthogonal pilot signal. Instep 120, the demodulated non-orthogonal pilot signal is subjected to an additional integration and dump function to remove interference from the originally transmitted non-orthogonal pilot signal P. - In
step 130, the demodulated non-orthogonal pilot signal is modulated by the channel code pc. Instep 140, the modulated pilot signal is modulated by the group user channel code gi. Instep 150, an integration of the signal is performed to yield first and second interference terms. Instep 160, the signal modulated by the user channel code gi is additionally modulated by the wI channel separation function. Instep 170, the resultant signal is then modulated by the channel separation function wQ. Instep 180, an integration of the resultant signal is performed to yield third and forth interference terms. Instep 190, the interference terms are subtracted from the demodulated data signal to remove the interference from the I and Q sub-band data. Finally, instep 200, a dot product calculation is performed to recover the originally transmitted I and Q sub-band data signals. - While the invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to a preferred embodiment thereof, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes in form and details may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
