Definitions

  • This invention relates to a rake receiver, and to a method of operating a rake receiver.
  • a rake receiver comprises a number of correlators, typically four correlators, which are arranged in parallel with their outputs being applied to an adder. The output of the adder is the output signal for the rake receiver.
  • Each correlator can be called a 'finger', and each finger is independently controllable. Since it is necessary to generate a pseudo-random noise (PN) code at the same frequency and phase as the code which is modulated onto the received signal to achieve correlation with a line-of-sight (LOS) ray, it is possible to isolate delayed multipath rays by mixing a delayed version of the code with the received signal.
  • PN pseudo-random noise
  • the code delay must be equal to the time delay between the LOS ray and the multipath ray for correlation to occur. In practice, due to receiver limitations and the effects of noise, a characteristic such as that shown in Figure 1 may be obtained.
  • amplitude is plotted against code delay for a signal which is received over a short period in time.
  • the LOS ray 10 is clearly visible as the strongest, since it has the largest amplitude.
  • Multipath rays 11, 12, 13 are also visible at various places along the code delay axis (or code space), each having an amplitude independent to the others.
  • the signal corresponding to each ray has its own carrier phase.
  • Each finger of the rake receiver is controlled to follow a ray 10-13 of the received signal.
  • one finger follows the LOS ray 10
  • the other fingers each follow a multipath ray 11-13.
  • the LOS 10 ray is not sufficiently strong, in which case each finger may follow a different multipath ray.
  • a finger includes a mixer and a delay element which operate in such a way that a correlated signal is provided.
  • the carrier phase of the correlated signal is detected by a carrier phase detector and brought to an arbitrary value, which is the same value for each finger, and the amplitude of the signal is detected by a detector and then adjusted according to an algorithm.
  • the signals from all the fingers are then added by the adder, thereby obtaining efficient signal reception from the received signal.
  • the rake receiver in effect, 'rakes' the code space for relevant rays, brings them into line with each other, in time and carrier phase, and then sums them.
  • a rake receiver provides a significant increase in signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) compared to a receiver which operates only on the LOS 10 ray or on a multipath ray 11-13.
  • SNR signal-to-noise ratio
  • the characteristic shown in Figure 1 changes in a number of ways.
  • the multipath rays 11-13 move along the code space, one way or the other, as the difference in the lengths of the signal paths change relative to the LOS path.
  • the carrier phase of the signals also changes over time, albeit more slowly. Most significantly, superposition causes the power of the signals to rise and fall by very significant amounts, with the rate and frequency of the power changes being dependent particularly on the dynamics of the propagation channel.
  • a typical signal power versus time plot is shown in Figure 2 for a receiver moving rapidly, for example in a vehicle, in a high-building-density urban environment.
  • signal power 20 can be seen to vary with time, the power mostly being above the ley el of a noise floor 21, but dipping below the noise floor at six time intervals 22 to 27.
  • the time intervals 23, 25 and 26 are fairly short-lived, but the time intervals 22, 24 and 27 are more lengthy.
  • a conventional rake receiver may include means for measuring the average signal power for each finger over a period of about 10 ms for the Universal Mobile Telephone System (UMTS), and control means to control that finger to continue tracking its ray on the basis of the average signal power.
  • the average power of the signal 20 is shown as the dotted line 28. It will be appreciated that the average power (which is calculated frequently) is affected by the time intervals 22-27, but in this case the average power remains a reasonable distance above the noise floor 21.
  • the finger therefore continually processes the received signal, and provides its output to the combiner. This contribution to the rake receiver continues until the average signal level 28 falls below the threshold, and the finger is then reallocated to receive and process another ray of the received signal.
  • each finger may sample the code space at three code positions regularly spaced over a distance of one-half of a chip.
  • the sample at the earliest phase of the code is called the early sample, the on-time and the late samples being of increasingly greater code phase.
  • the positions of the fingers are updated by their respective DLLs. Further resources are allocated to searching the code space for new signals, to which finger allocation may be desirable.
  • a rake receiver comprising: a first plurality of fingers; a combiner arranged to sum the outputs " of the fingers of the first plurality to provide a data-carrying output signal; and a second plurality of fingers, each of the second plurality of fingers corresponding one-to-one with ones of the first plurality of fingers, each of the second plurality of fingers being arranged to process a signal having a known data sequence; each of the fingers including a respective mixer arranged to mix a received signal with a locally-generated pseudo-random noise code; at least one of the second plurality of fingers having associated therewith: a first detector, for detecting a first parameter of a signal downstream of the respective mixer over a first period of time, and for providing an output signal in response thereto; first control means arranged to control the corresponding one of the first plurality of fingers to track a component of the received signal on the basis of the first detector output signal; a second detector for detecting a second parameter of

  • Figure 3 shows part of a rake receiver 30, the rake receiver comprising first to sixth fingers 31 to 36, each connected to a respective output of a tapped delay line 37.
  • a received signal is applied to each of the fingers 31 to 36 via the tapped delay line 37, although each finger receives the received signal at a different delay.
  • the fingers 31 to 36 are controlled to be moved up and down the outputs of the tapped delay line 37 in order to track respective components, or rays, of the received signal.
  • the delay of the received signal is increased by the delay line 37 in the direction of the arrow 37A.
  • Outputs of the fingers 31 to 36 are connected to a combiner 38 via respective switches 39 to 44.
  • Each finger 31 to 36 respectively includes, in sequence, a mixer 51, an accumulator 52, an amplitude adjuster 57 and a carrier phase adjuster 58 (as is described below with reference to Figures 4 and 5), as is conventional.
  • a first detector 45 has a respective input connected to the output of each of the accumulators 52 of the fingers 31 to 36. The first detector 45 is arranged to detect or estimate the SIRs of the signal provided of the output of each of the accumulators over a first relatively long period of time during reception of a time-multiplexed pilot signal, and to provide SIR estimate output signals in response thereto.
  • a first controller 46 which is connected to an output of the first detector 45, controls the fingers 31 to 36 to track their respective rays. If the first controller 46 determines that the SIR estimation signal for one of the fingers 31 to 36, as estimated over the first relatively long period of time, falls below a predetermined threshold, it is implied that the ray being tracked is no longer contributing sufficiently to an output signal provided at a rake receiver output 47. Accordingly, the first controller 46 reallocates that finger to a ray which is deemed to be more worthwhile. Operation thus far described is conventional. SIR estimation is made during reception of pilot signals as this provides improved estimation, since fluctuations which may be caused by information modulated onto the signal do not contribute. A skilled person will be aware how to estimate the SIR of a pilot signal.
  • a second detector 48 also has a respective input connected to the output of each of the accumulators 52 of the fingers 31 to 36.
  • the second detector 48 is arranged to detect or estimate the SIRs of the signals provided by the accumulators of each of the fingers 31 to 36 over a second, relatively short period of time during the reception of time multiplexed pilot signals.
  • the ratio of the first period of time to the second period of time depends on the nature of the receiver 30, and on the nature of the channel over which the signal is communicated. For a UMTS receiver, for example, the ratio may be anywhere between 1 to 50 and 1 to 2, although 1 to 20 may be typical.
  • SIR estimations thus obtained are not so much indicative of the average SIR of the rays received by each finger, but are more indicative of the short term or near instantaneous SIR.
  • SIR estimation signals indicative of the SIR estimations are provided by the second detector 48 to a second controller 49.
  • the second controller 49 has an input connected to an output of the second detector 48 and plural outputs each connected to a respective one of the switches 39 to 44.
  • the second controller 49 controls the switches 39-44 in response to the SIR estimation signals in the second detector 48.
  • the second controller 49 compares the SIR estimation signal, as determined over the relatively short period of time, for a finger 31 to 36, compares it to a predetermined threshold, and opens the corresponding switch 39 to 44 if the threshold is not exceeded, and closes it otherwise.
  • the same occurs for each of the other fingers 31 to 36, its respective switch 39 to 44 being controlled on the basis of the SIR estimated at the output of its respective accumulator. This allows a finger 31 to 36 to continue to track a ray as long as the average SIR of that ray remains sufficiently high, yet prevents that finger contributing to the signal provided at the output 47 if the short term SIR of that ray is not sufficiently high.
  • the first and second detectors 45, 48 may share common hardware and/or software.
  • the first and second controllers 46, 49 similarly may share common hardware and/or software.
  • the detectors 45, 48 may estimate or detect signal power or some other suitable parameter.
  • Figure 4 shows part of the finger 31. Reference numerals are retained from Figure 3 for like elements.
  • the finger 31 comprises a mixer 51, an accumulator 52, a de-multiplexer 53, a pseudo-random sequence generator 54 and an OVSF code generator 55. Pseudo-random noise codes generated by the generators 54 and 55 are mixed together by a second mixer 56, the result being applied to an input of the mixer 51.
  • the de-multiplexer 53 has a first output connected to the combiner 38 via, in sequence, an amplitude adjuster 57, a carrier phase adjuster 58 and the switch 39.
  • a second output of the de-multiplexer 53 is connected to the second detector 48, which is an SIR detector.
  • the de-multiplexer 53 is arranged to pass signals received at its input to the second detector 48 when the time multiplexed pilot signal is being received, and to pass these signals to the amplitude adjuster 57 at all other times. In this way, the SIR detector 48 receives and estimates the SIR only of pilot signals. SIR estimation signals resulting therefrom are passed to the second controller 49, which compares the SIR estimation signals to a threshold signal received at a threshold input 59.
  • the threshold signal is a constant value signal corresponding to the threshold 21 of Figure 2.
  • the controller 49 closes the switch 39 when the SIR estimation signals exceed the threshold signal during a pilot signal transmission period.

Un doigt continue à suivre une composante du signal reçu en fonction d'un paramètre, par exemple, sa puissance moyenne, mais modifie la contribution de ce doigt à la sortie du récepteur en peigne en fonction de ce paramètre ou d'un autre paramètre du signal sur une durée plus courte que la durée utilisée comme base de la décision de poursuite.
