Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method and arrangements in a radio receiver system with several standards. More specifically, the invention relates to a method and arrangements of receiving signals in a radio receiver system at the same time with several signal format standards, such as different CDMA, TDMA and FDMA standards. Furthermore, the invention relates to a rake receiver for use in such systems.
- TDMA Time Division Multiple Access
- FDMA Frequency Division Multiple Access
- a communication channel is a single radio frequency band. Interference with adjacent channels is limited by the use of band pass filters which only pass signal energy within the specified frequency band.
- CDMA Code Division Multiple Access
- CDMA allows signals to overlap in both time and frequency. Thus, several CDMA signals can share the same frequency band, but the CDMA receiver can also operate at several frequency bands.
- simultaneous connections can thus make use of a common frequency band.
- the selection, i.e. discrimination, between the desired signal and other signals is carried out by suitable signal processing, which is based on that the desired signal is coded. All simultaneous connections have different codes.
- a radio frequency signal is received by an antenna unit and is downconverted to an intermediate frequency in one or several stages in the analog part of the radio.
- the intermediate signal is sampled and digitized by an A/D converter and filtered in a channelizer to filter out each channel sufficiently well so that signals of other frequencies do not interfere.
- the result is a bandlimited signal that can be fed to base band processing to reproduce the sent digital data stream by a demodulating unit, which uses for example band spreading technique.
- band spreading radio signals are transmitted by expanding the bandwidth of the information signal by means of an independent code signal.
- the most common type of band spreading is direct sequence, in other words direct modulation of the carrier wave with a code or signature sequence, also called pseudo-noise sequence or PN- sequence.
- the signature sequence usually comprises N bits which are called chips. The entire N-chip sequence is referred to as a transmitted symbol.
- the band spreading is achieved so that each fed information bit is replaced by a code sequence that consists of N chips and a spread spectrum is formed.
- a plurality of coded information signals modulate a radio freqency carrier and are jointly received as a composite signal at a receiver. If the receiver is authorized and has a synchronous code signal, then the composite signal is correlated with one of the unique codes, and the corresponding information signal can be isolated and demodulated by the actual decoding technique.
- a rake-receiver is a radio receiver which utilizes this feature of time dispersed signals.
- the rake-receiver includes a plurality of independent receiver units, so called rake taps or fingers, each of which receives and tracks, or locates, a respective ray.
- the rake-receiver also includes means for combining the received signals, and means for delaying these signals so that they will be brought into phase prior to combining the signals.
- the rake-receiver can usually combine components with separation more than one or equal to one chip-period.
- the rake fingers or rake taps of a rake receiver in a CDMA-system is adjusted in accordance with the arrival time of the signal.
- An ideal sampling is carried out at the strongest place of the signal. If a sample is taken only once during one chip duration, and it is not taken wherein the signal is strongest, then the sampling is not taken optimally in every chip or symbol with non- optimal detection as a result and a systematic error is achieved.
- the probability for correct sampling is increased by oversampling, in which several samples are taken for each chip period and the best sample, a decision sample, for each chip can be chosen, which has a start time that indicates the phase of the signal.
- the oversampling ratio is defined as the ratio of the signal's sample rate to the symbol or chip rate. In bandlimiting it means that, the more bandlimited the signal is, the more samples there exist for each chip and thus the oversampling ratio is increased with decreasing bandwidth.
- the sampler i.e. the A/D converter
- the sampler has a predetermined sample period, which is adjusted is adjusted in relation with the symbol or chip rate of the radio receiver in a simple way.
- the adjusted rate is usually a small integer multiple of the symbol rate, f- symbol, or in case of a direct sequence CDMA system, a small integer multiple of the chip rate, f-chip.
- Resampling is usually performed by interpolation between points in the original data sequence, using different techniques. Some of the techniques use extensive computation, but the more bandlimited the signal is (consisting of only relatively low frequencies) the simpler are the satisfactory techniques.
- first order hold uses the first derivative of the signal to interpolate between points and zero order hold just approximates the desired sample with the closest sample in the original data stream.
- Zero order hold is of course simpler, but requires a more strongly bandlimited signal in order not to give too high approximation errors.
- Other resampling techniques often involve higher order filtering or polynomial interpolation.
- Resamplers are previously described in for instance US-5598439 and US-5513209 for demodulation of digitally modulated signals in communication systems.
- CDMA and rake receivers are decribed in for instance US 5640416 and JP-08256084.
- a previous solution for a multi-rate CDMA communication is presented in EP-814581.
- a base station that supports different radio transmission standards is known from EP- 815698.
- the system of this patent can support CDMA and TDMA signals at the same time by using at least two digital channel devices.
- the channelizer of this patent can only work with one bandwidth and an own channelizer is needed for each standard.
- a system with several standards having this solution needs quite extensive hardware and the diversity gain is missed.
- the sample rate is chosen in accordance with the chip rate in an integer relation.
- the sampling rate is not possible to choose the sampling rate so that it is an integer or other simple relation to all chip and symbol rates because of different chip rates in the systems. Therefore a resampler is necessary.
- Table 1 shows the various bandwidths and symbol or chip rates for different cellular systems. If several standards would be used simultaneously in the same base station, it is apparent that new technique would be needed to simultaneously handle these different standards in a proper way and without extensive hardware.
- An object of the invention is to make such future mobile communication systems and base stations possible, wherein several standards coexist.
- GSM might coexist with wide band CDMA in Europe and in USA D-amps might coexist with both narrow band and wide band IS-95 as well as with GSM.
- the object of the invention is to make a radio receiver system for such a mobile communication system of the above kind, wherein there is to reduce costs, used common hardware for the handling of the different standards running in the same base station.
- Another object of the invention is a base station with several standards, CDMA standards in particular, that have a higher equipment performance than earlier multistandard radio receiver systems.
- the method of the invention is mainly characterized in that the demodulating units detects and, when needed, resamples each of the modulated channels individually and delivers corresponding demodulated channels.
- the multistandard radio receiver system of the invention is mainly characterized in that the modulated channels are demodulated and, when needed, resampled individually for each standard with a unique signal format.
- resampling is carried out for the different CDMA, and other signal format standards in the base station, to get the proper sample rate for each chip or symbol rate of each standard.
- the A/D sampling frequency of the system is chosen in accordance with one of the chip or symbol rates of the different standards in the system. In the invention, resampling is carried out for the other standards.
- a proper sample rate for each standard that is in accordance with the chip or symbol rate is achieved in the multi-standards radio receiver system with a separate resampler for each standard.
- Each standard that needs to have the sample rate resampled in accordance with its chip rate or symbol rate has an own resampler.
- Some of the demodulating units in the multi-standards radio receiver might comprise means for resampling and detecting at least one TDMA signal, such units having a TDMA-resampling unit and a TDMA-demod ator/equalizing unit, while other such demodulating unit might comprises means for resampling and detecting at least one CDMA signal, such other units having a CDMA-resampling unit, and a CDMA- demodulator/rake receiver unit.
- the radio receiver might also comprise other kind of demodulator units and resamplers for those.
- the resampler might be before the interface co-located with the channelizer, or alternatively, it can be placed after the interface, co-located with the rake receiver. In the latter case, the data rate over the interface is the same as the out rate of the channelizer, which means that it is lower than in the first case, because the resampler has a high out rate. Concequentiy, this is a more economic alternative. Between the resampler and the rake receiver, the data rate is high.
- One of the systems with a resampler in accordance with the invention works so that the oversampling rate out from the resampler is much higher than the inrate and thus increases correct sampling.
- the resampling and detecting of the modulated channels are carried out in a joint operation in at least one of the demodulating units in the multi-standards radio receiver system.
- at least one demodulating unit is a CDMA receiver which comprises means for resampling and detecting at least one CDMA signal and has a rake receiver with individual resamplers in each rake finger.
- An implementation of this type of a rake tap differs from the implementation of a normal rake tap in that it performs joint control of both resampling and demodulation.
- the resampling rake taps can use different resampling techniques, which were described earlier in the application. If the simplest zero order hold technique is used, the rake taps keeps track of the timing of the incoming samples and, according to the timing of the chips or symbols in the signature sequence, selects the sample from the incoming signal that is closest to that chip or symbol in time. In interpolation techniques, the desired sample can for instance be interpolated between two incoming samples. In polyphase filtering, the actual phase of the filter is determined by the distance to the closest sample. Different polyphase components are used, which give a given delay to match the incoming time.
- a low oversampling rate can be used as the rake receiver can receive different sample rates.
- the distance between two signal samples to be correlated in a rake tap will vary, but on an average the number of samples per unit will correspond to the chip rate of the receiver system.
- the correlation between the code sequence and incoming data stream will in each rake tap be performed on mutually different, non uniformly sampled, sets of data.
- the demodulation preferably by synchronization with a PN sequence, will be optimal for all rake taps.
- the only error source will then be the resampling error.
- Resampling with a zero order hold in a CDMA system gives at a certain oversampling ratio a certain error. This error is of the same magnitude as the mean displacement error coupled to the sampling of each chip in a rake tap. Other types of resampling will give other error magnitudes.
- the method is extended to higher order hold or other resampling techniques. More extensive computations, such as polynomial interpolation or polyphase filtering, are needed to calculate interpolated sample values according to the resampling technique used. This can be done by resampling or interpolation filter or polynomial interpolator that is synchronized with the PN sequence.
- the type of resampling can be individually chosen for each rake tap and also individually optimized. This can be done in conjunction with the estimation of the channel impulse response, so that the best resampling is chosen for the best "ray" in the multipath channel response, or optimized in some other way that gives a better performance than having all resampling rake taps implemented equal.
- the advantages of the inventions are that several standards can be used in the same radio receiver system- with less hardware than in previous systems since only one channelizer is needed.
- a channelizer is often computationally more complex than a resampler.
- the second embodiment of the invention gives the highest performance and is therefore the preferred embodiment. In this embodiment a more correct sampling is achieved since it is possible to have separate resampling for each rake finger.
- the method is relatively simple to control and is therefore seen to be very useful.
- the object of the invention is to make such a multi-standards radio receiver system for a mobile communication system of the above kind, wherein there is to reduce costs, used common hardware for the handling of the different standards, CDMA standards in particular, running in the same base station, and which have a higher equipment performance than earlier multistandard receiver systems.
- the chip or symbol rates are not related in such a way to each other that it is possible with existing equipment to choose a sample rate that is an integer or other simple relation of the symbol or chip rate or other simple relation with common hardware for the different standards.
- resampling is therefore carried out for the different CDMA and other standards in the base station, to get the proper sample rate for each chip or symbol rate of each standard.
- the demodulation units of the multi-standards radio receiver system of the invention resamples and detects each of the modulated channels individually and delivers corresponding demodulated channels. In one of the demodulating units, the sampling rate is in accordance with the sampling rate of the A/D converter and resampling is thus not needed.
- resampling and detecting of the modulated channels are carried out in a joint operation in at least one such demodulating unit in the multi-standards radio receiver system.
- at least one demodulating unit is a CDMA receiver which comprises means for resampling and detecting at least one CDMA signal and has a rake receiver with individual resamplers in each rake finger.
- the invention is also concerned with a rake receiver in accordance with the preferred embodiment of the invention.
- the rake receiver receives the samples in the time they have and in accordance with one of the resampling techniques, selects the sample from the incoming signal that is closest to that chip in time.
- the error in connection with the displacement of time of the rake taps can be kept low.
- the method is extended to individual resampling techniques in different rake taps and to preferred combinations of the oversampling ratio and the resampling technique.
- demodulation can for example be carried out in another way than with syncronization with a PN sequence and the different standards in the radio receiver system can be differently chosen.

- radio signals of different frequencies RF signals
- the RF signal is then downconverted to an intermediate frequency IF by a radio frequency unit 3.
- An A/D converter which has the symbol 4 in figure 1, converts the analog IF signal to a digital one. Since the A D converter only can be clocked for one speed at a time the data rate of the received signal has to be resampled to a rate suitable for base band processing. This rate is modified in accordance with the symbol or chip rate of one of the standards used in the multistandards system.

- the channelizer output signal is a bandlimited signal that is fed for base band processing in one of the demodulation units 6a, 6b, 6c, 6d to reproduce the data information sent with the signal.
- Signals can now directly be fed to receiver 6a, as the sample rate of the A/D converter 4 is in accordance with the symbol rate of receiver 6a, so that the sample rate is an integer times this symbol rate or otherwise simply related.
- Every receiver i.e. the DAMPS demodulator and equalizer 6b, the CDMA Rake receiver 6c and the CDMA Rake 6d, has its own resampler, i.e. resamplers 7b, 7c and 7d respectively.
