Description
- This application is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/149,508 filed Jun. 10, 2005, which claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/578,715 filed Jun. 10, 2004, which is incorporated by reference as if fully set forth.
- This invention generally relates to wireless communication systems. In particular, the invention relates to demodulating signals in a low and high data rate environment.
- As the demand for both voice and data services increases, systems are being developed to better support both media. One such system is the Universal Mobile Terrestrial System (UMTS) Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (W-CDMA) communication system. In the frequency division duplex (FDD) mode, such as in release 99 (R4), voice communications are typically transmitted using dedicated channels (DCH). In another such system, CDMA2000, voice communications are typically transmitted using dedicated channels. Although data can be transmitted through various channels, high speed downlink packet access (HSDPA) is one W-CDMA approach and high speed packet channels is one CDMA2000 approach to support high data rate downlink transmissions.
- Accordingly, it is desirable for a receiver in such a system to be capable of demodulating both channel types.
- A receiver is capable of demodulating both high data rate and low data rate transmissions. An antenna receives the high and low data rate transmissions, as a received signal. An interference canceling device cancels a contribution of at least one shared/common channel from the received signal, producing a first interference canceled signal. A first data detector for detecting data of one of the high or low data rate transmissions by processing the first interference canceled signal. An interference canceling device for canceling the detected data of the one transmissions from the first interference canceled signal, producing a second interference canceled signal. A second data detector for detecting data of an other of the high or low data rate transmissions from the second interference canceled signal.

Although the following embodiments are described in connection with W-CDMA and CDMA2000, they can be applied to other wireless systems having multiple transmission data rates.

FIG. 1 illustrates a simplified diagram of a system handling both low data rate, such as frequency division duplex (FDD) W-CDMA or CDMA2000 dedicated channel communications, and high data rate, such as FDD HSDPA or CDMA2000 high speed packet communications. At the transmitter, bothlow data rate 20 andhigh data rate 22 transmissions (Txs) are combined by acombiner 24, such as at the baseband. ATx radio interface 26 transmits the channels through apropagation channel 28. A receiver (Rx)radio interface 30 receives the channels and, typically, a separate lowdata rate Rx 32 and highdata rate Rx 34 demodulates their respective data streams. - In such an environment, considerable interference and noise creates problems and degrades the performance of the low data rate and high data rate Rx. To illustrate, due to the nature of high data rate transmissions, these transmissions tend to be sent at high power levels. These high power level transmissions can create significant interference with respect to low data rate transmissions.
- Additionally, both FDD and CDMA2000 dedicated channels use soft handover between base stations or softer handover between base station sectors. High data rate packet transmissions do not use soft/softer handover. As a result, a WTRU that borders cells will likely be in soft handover low data rate transmissions but it may only intentionally receive high data rate transmissions from one base station. With respect to reception of high data rate transmissions, not only does intra-cell interference from the other low data rate communications exist, but significant inter-cell interference exists from the other cells low data rate transmissions, including the soft handover transmissions. As a result, the high data rate channel capacity may degrade as well as the number of high data rate channels that can be maintained in the system.

FIG. 2 is a simplified receiver for use in a WTRU, or potentially a base station for handling both low data rate transmissions, such as FDD or CDMA2000 dedicated channels, and high data rate transmissions, such as HSDPA or CDMA2000 high speed packet data. Anantenna 36 or antenna array receives both transmissions. An interference canceller is used to cancel interference and noise prior to high data rate Rx operations. - The
interference canceller 38 as illustrated inFIG. 3 takes the received samples r and uses interference and noise construction to cancel, such as by asubtractor 50, these components from the samples r. An estimation of the contribution of the known lowdata rate channels 46 to the received vector r is constructed. These channels may include low data rate dedicated and other channels from the base station of the high data rate transmission, low data rate and high data rate transmission from other base stations (such as during soft handover) and other known channels. The contribution of other unknown channels and noise can also be estimated and canceled 48. Referring toFIG. 2 , this interference canceled signal is processed by a highdata rate Rx 42 to recover high data rate data/symbols. - An interference canceller may also be used to cancel interference and noise prior to low data rate Rx operations. The
interference canceller 52 as illustrated inFIG. 4 takes the received samplesr and uses interference and noise construction to cancel, such as by asubtractor 58, these components from the samplesr . An estimation of the contribution of the known lowdata rate channels 54 to the received vectorr is constructed. These channels may include high data rate andother channels 52 from the base station(s) of the low data rate transmission(s), low data rate and high data rate transmission from other base stations (such as during soft handover) and other known channels. The contribution of other unknown channels andnoise 56 can also be estimated and canceled. Referring toFIG. 2 , this interference canceled signal is processed by a lowdata rate Rx 44 to recover high data rate data/symbols. - Due to the potential high power level of high data rate transmissions, the estimated data from the high data rate transmissions may be used in the high data rate interference construction with respect to the low data rate Rx. Conversely, the estimated data from the low data rate transmission may be used in the low data rate interference constructions with respect to the high data rate Rx.
-
FIG. 5 is a simplified diagram of another embodiment of a low and high speed data receiver. Although the preferred use of such a receiver is in a WTRU, it may also be used in a base station. Low and high data rate transmissions are received by anantenna 36 or antenna array and a received vector,r , is produced. A common/sharedchannel interference canceller 58 cancels the interference introduced onto the desired low/high data rate communications from common/shared channels. In some embodiments, the common/sharedchannel interference canceller 58 may not be used, with some potential degradation in receiver performance. The interference cancelled vector,rIC , is processed by a high speed and traffic channeldata detection device 68 to produce data for both the high speed data and traffic channel data. -
FIG. 6 is an illustration of an embodiment of a common/shared channel interference canceller for an FDD W-CDMA receiver. As illustrated inFIG. 6 , a paging indicator channel (PICH)detector 70, a common pilot channel (CPICH)detector 72, a primary common control physical channel (P-CCPCH)detector 84, a secondary common control physical channel (S-CCPCH)detector 86 and a high speed sharedcontrol channel detector 88 detect data for the respective channels. For the data/symbols of each detected channel, a contribution of that channel to the received vector is produced by a respective interference construction device (IC) 80, 82, 84, 86, 88. The contributions from all the received channels are subtracted from the received vector,r , by asubtractor 90, producing an interference cancelled vector,rIC . - Although the common/shared channel interference canceller is illustrated as a subtractive interference canceller, other interference cancellation techniques may be used. The FDD-W-CDMA common/shared channel interference canceller is illustrated with a particular set of channels being canceled, less channels may be used or additional channels may be canceled. For receivers in soft/softer handover or at the periphery of a cell, these channels may include channels from other cells/sectors.
- The embodiment of
FIG. 6 may also be implemented in a CDMA2000 receiver. For use in the downlink, the cancelled channels potentially include the pilot channel, synchronization channel, paging channel, broadcast control channel, forward common control channel, common assignment channel and forward dedicated control channel, although some of these channels may not be cancelled and other CDMA2000 channels may be canceled. -
FIG. 7 is a simplified diagram of high speed channel cancellation for a high speed and traffic channel data detection device for W-CDMA FDD. AHSDPA data detector 92 receives the received vector,r , or the interference canceled vector,rIC , and produces HSDPA data/symbols. The HSDPA data/symbols are processed by anIC 94 to produce the contribution of the HSDPA channel with respect to the received vector. The HSDPA contribution is subtracted by a subtractor 96 from the vector, producing an HSDPA cancelled vector. A dedicated physical channel (DPCH)data detector 98 detects the DPCH data/symbols from the HSDPA interference cancelled vector. -
FIG. 8 is a simplified diagram of dedicated channel cancellation for a high speed and traffic channel data detection device for W-CDMA FDD. ADPCH data detector 100 receives the received vector,r , or the interference canceled vector,rIC , and produces DPCH data/symbols. The DPCH data/symbols are processed by anIC 102 to produce the contribution of the DPCH channel with respect to the received vector. The DPCH contribution is subtracted by a subtractor 104 from the vector, producing a DPCH cancelled vector. AHSDPA data detector 106 detects the HSDPA data/symbols from the DPCH interference cancelled vector. -
FIG. 9 is a simplified diagram of high speed channel cancellation for a W-CDMA FDD data detector in soft/softer handover. The data detector ofFIG. 9 is receiving an HSDPA transmission from cell 1 (cell sector 1) and DPCH transmissions fromcell 1 and cell 2 (orcell sector 1 and cell sector 2). InFIG. 9 , the received vector associated with each cell is shown separately. The timing of the received signals from the differing cells or sectors may not be aligned at the chip or symbol level and this separation in timing is shown as separate sets of received samples, although in some implementations one received vector may be used (such as in softer handover). - The received vector,
r1 , or interference canceled vector,rIC1 , is associated with cell 1 (sector 1) and the received vector,r2 , or interference canceled vector,rIC2 , is associated with cell 2 (sector 2). AHSDPA cell 1data detector 108 detects HSDPA data/symbols fromcell 1 HSDPA transmissions. AnIC 110 produces a contribution of thecell 2 HSDPA data/symbols to thecell 1 vector. TheHSDPA cell 1 contribution is subtracted by a subtractor 112 from thecell 1 received vector, producing acell 1 HSDPA canceled vector. AHSDPA cell 2data detector 116 detects HSDPA data/symbols fromcell 2 HSDPA transmissions. AnIC 118 produces a contribution of thecell 2 HSDPA data/symbols to thecell 2 vector. TheHSDPA cell 2 contribution is subtracted by a subtractor 120 from thecell 1 received vector, producing acell 2 HSDPA canceled vector. - Since the HSDPA transmissions are at a higher data rate, they typically have higher transmission power levels. As a result, the HSDPA transmissions may create significant interference with respect to DPCH reception. However, due to the added complexity of detecting and canceling another cell's HSDPA transmission, the cancellation of HSDPA transmissions from the other cell (cell 2) may not be performed in certain implementations.

Using the received vector,r2 , or interference canceled vector,rIC2 , ofcell 2, theDPCH cell 2detector 128 produces soft symbols for the DPCH transmitted fromcell 2. Using the received vector,r1 , or interference canceled vector,rIC1 , ofcell 1, theDPCH cell 1detector 130 produces soft symbols for the DPCH transmitted fromcell 1. A time alignment andcombiner 138 time aligns thecell 1 andcell 2 soft symbols and combines them producing DPCH symbols/data. - An
IC 132 produces a contribution of thecell 1 DPCH symbols to thecell 1 vector. Thecell 1 DPCH contribution is subtracted by a subtractor 134 from thecell 1 received vector, producing acell 1 DPCH canceled vector. AnHSDPA data detector 136 detects thecell 1 HSDPA symbols/data from the interference cancelled vector. In an alternate configuration, the symbols produced by time alignment and combiner 138 (DPCH Data) may be used in the interference cancellation instead of only thecell 1 DPCH data. Although such an approach provides for added accuracy in the soft symbols used in the interference cancellation, it adds to its overall complexity since more timing coordination is required to overcome the timing differences betweencell 1 andcell 2 DPCH/HSDPA reception. Although the above interference cancellers are described as subtractive interference cancellers, other types of interference cancellers may be used. - Although
FIGS. 5-10 were described in connection with W-CDMA FDD, these interference cancellers can be applied to other wireless systems with low and high data rate channels. To illustrate, these Figures can apply to CDMA2000, where the forward packet data channel (F-PDCH) is analogous to HSDPA and CDMA2000 dedicated channels are analogous to FDD DPCHs. -
FIGS. 2-10 can be implemented on an integrated circuit, multiple integrated circuits, logical programmable gate array (LPGA), multiple LPGAs, discrete components or a combination of integrated circuit(s), LPGA(s) and discrete component(s). - One technique that can be used to separate signals and effectively perform the interference cancellation of the preceding embodiments uses independent component analysis (ICA), such as in U.S. Provisional Application entitled “Creation of Matrices for Signal Separation”, filed Jun. 8, 2005, incorporated by reference, although other techniques may be used. In that technique, principal component analysis is initially performed, then through ICA, a separation matrix is constructed using statistical processing to separate the signals and signal analysis is performed to determine signals of interest. Such an approach may be desirable to use with multiple antenna elements, such as multiple input multiple output (MIMO), single input multiple output (SIMO) and multiple input single output (MISO).
