Definitions
- the subject technology relates generally to communications systems and methods, and more particularly to systems and methods that perform a magnitude and phase analysis on a set of paths received in a communications channel - a threshold component automatically selects a subset of the paths thus facilitating enhanced communications performance over RAKE-based estimators.
- a user with a remote terminal such as a cellular phone communicates with other users over transmissions on forward and reverse links with one or more base stations.
- the forward link refers to transmission from the base station to the remote terminal
- the reverse link refers to transmission from the remote terminal to the base station.
- the total transmit power from a base station is typically indicative of the total capacity of the forward link since data may be transmitted to a number of users concurrently over a shared frequency band.
- a portion of the total transmit power may be allocated to each active user such that the total aggregate transmit power for all users is less than or equal to the total available transmit power.
- RAKE is not an acronym and derives its name from inventors Price and Green in 1958.
- RAKE is not an acronym and derives its name from inventors Price and Green in 1958.
- RAKE receivers employ several base band correlators to individually process several signal multi-path components in a concurrent manner. The correlator outputs are then combined to achieve improved communications reliability and performance.
- both the base station and mobile receivers use RAKE receiver techniques for communications.
- Each correlator in a RAKE receiver is deemed a RAKE-receiver finger.
- the base station combines the outputs of its RAKE- receiver fingers non-coherently, whereby the outputs are added in power.
- the mobile receiver generally combines its RAKE-receiver finger outputs coherently, where the outputs are added in voltage.
- mobile receivers typically employ three RAKE-receiver fingers whereas base station receivers utilize four or five fingers depending on the equipment manufacturer.
- RAKE based estimators are commonly employed for channel estimation in single-carrier systems.
- RAKE "fingers” are assigned to the dominant paths in the channel.
- the channel magnitude for each finger is then typically computed by correlation with an appropriately delayed version of a pilot PN sequence, wherein the sequence refers to a pair of modified maximal length PN (Pseudorandom Noise) sequences utilized to spread quadrature components of a channel.
- An averaging filter can be employed on this channel estimate to trade-off channel estimation accuracy with Doppler tolerance, wherein the filter generally applies a finger management algorithm for assignment, de-assignment, and tracking, of the respective signal components processed at the RAKE fingers.
- channel coherence time (inverse of the Doppler frequency) is the amount of time taken to propagate one wavelength and is given by the equation c/(fv), where c is the speed of light, f the carrier frequency and v the speed of the receiver when in motion ⁇ e.g., cell phone traveling in a car).
- the time taken for the path location ⁇ i.e., the propagation time) to change by one chip is given by c/(Bv), where B is the bandwidth of the system ⁇ i.e., the inverse of the chip duration).
- B is several orders of magnitude smaller than f, and hence the path location generally moves much slower than the path magnitude.
- taps are components of a delay line model that represent signal propagation of a received signal in a frequency-selective communications channel such as employed in a RAKE receiver.
- the finger-management algorithm described above attempts to determine the most significant paths from among a set of paths (typically 4-5).
- chip-spaced taps in the receiver generally do not correspond directly to the channel paths and can also change as fast as the Doppler frequency. Since the finger management algorithm is not designed to track paths that change location at such speeds in view of the above assumptions, significant degradations result. These degradations include well-known problems in channel estimation schemes including fat path and finger merge problems that are the result of this assumption.
- Systems and methods are provided that facilitate wireless communications between wireless devices, between stations for broadcasting or receiving wireless signals, and/or combinations thereof.
- signal path components which may be spaced over time are received at a destination such as cell phone or base station, for example.
- the respective path components arrive at a receiver having varying signal magnitudes.
- a path analyzer (or analyzers) employs various signal processing techniques to analyze and determine the signal magnitudes. For instance, such analysis can include determining signal strength, signal power, average power, Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) and so forth for the respective path components in a communications channel.
- SNR Signal-to-Noise Ratio
- a threshold component is employed to select a subset of the signal path components for communications in view of single or multiple threshold values in order to optimize communications performance (e.g., determine a subset of the strongest signal paths by automatic comparison to a threshold value).
- the optimization includes trading off accuracy of received information versus Doppler tolerance.
- algorithm performance can be dynamically or manually adjusted to trade off accuracy of communication as the travel velocity of a communications receiver is increased. This mitigates problems associated with conventional Rake-based estimators that rely on predetermined chip-spaced models and thus do not properly track path components as velocity conditions change.
- the threshold setting is employed to trade off the probability of deleting true channel taps versus the benefit of removing noise taps, wherein the filter length trades off Doppler performance versus accuracy on static channels.
- processing components do not attempt to assign fingers to significant paths in the channel as performed by conventional Rake-based estimators. Rather, path magnitudes are determined for every delay (in chip multiples) in a predetermined range. The range may be fixed or may vary depending on the expected delay spread of the channel.
- a "thresholding" algorithm can then determine which of these paths are significant (e.g., which paths or path has the highest average power). This algorithm may be based on retaining a fixed number of strongest paths, or on retaining paths that are above a certain energy threshold, or other consideration. It is noted, however, that thresholding decisions can be performed as fast as desired in order to tradeoff communications accuracy with higher Doppler tolerance.
- independent thresholding decisions can be made for every instance of a channel estimate. This feature is enabled since substantially all channel taps for processing path delays are available at substantially all time instants - which is in contrast to being limited to a certain number of predetermined fingers as with conventional systems.
- a method to process wireless signal components for a single carrier system includes receiving multiple signal path components over multiple communications taps and measuring signal strength of the signal path components from outputs of the communications taps. The method automatically selects a subset of the communications taps in view of the signal strength to facilitate wireless communications.
- a communications system is provided. The system includes at least one path analyzer to determine path magnitudes with respect to a set of channel paths. A threshold component selects a subset of the channel paths based in part on the path magnitudes, wherein the subset of channel paths are employed for single carrier wireless communications.

- Fig. 1 illustrates a system for selecting a channel subset of channel path components 110 in accordance with a path magnitude analyzer 120 and a threshold component 130.
- the path components 110 which are spaced over time are received at a destination such as cell phone, base station, computer, or other device, for example.
- the respective channel path components 110 are transmitted over a wireless communications channel 140 and arrive at a receiver 150 having varying signal magnitudes.

- Performance adjustments 170 can be performed automatically from sensors and control loop procedures and/or manually from user interface components which are described in more detail below with respect to Fig. 8.
- processing components adapted do not attempt to assign fingers to significant paths in the channel as performed by conventional Rake-based estimators. Rather, channel path magnitudes 110 are determined for every delay (e.g., in chip multiples) in a pre-determined range (e.g., determine all path magnitudes for taps 8 through 16). The range may be fixed or may vary depending on the expected delay spread of the channel 140.
- a "thresholding" algorithm in the threshold component 130 can then determine which of these paths are significant (e.g., which paths or path has the highest power above a threshold power setting). This algorithm may be based on retaining a fixed number of strongest paths, or on retaining paths that are above a certain energy threshold, or other consideration.
- Fig. 2 illustrates a receiver 200 with one or more path measuring components for analyzing signal path components. At 210, signal paths associated with a communications channel are processed by a receiver 220.
- the signal paths 210 can be spread over time with modulation components at a transmitter ⁇ e.g., not shown) and combined at the receiver to determine transmitted information.
- modulation can include encoded information such as Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) codes or other encoding format.
- Spreading of the signal paths can also occur due to fading which can cause multi-path signal components to occur at 210.
- Many propagation characteristics of the signal paths vary with differing frequencies. For instance, as a mobile communications station moves through a cell, multi-path signals abruptly add to and subtract from each other.
- Various taps 230 can be provided to process signal paths 210. Such taps 230 can be modeled as delays in a transmission line, wherein the signal path components 210 are received by the respective taps at different points in time and subsequently combined to form a composite signal that can be decoded for information contained therein.
- one or more signal magnitude components 240 can be provided to measure various aspects of the signal paths 210. Such measurements can include voltage measurements, current measurements, and/or the phase angle relationships between voltage and current. Analog and/or digital sampling can occur to facilitate determinations or measurements of such parameters as peak voltage or current, peak power, SNR, average power, RMS power, power factor, phase estimates, and so forth.

- a single measuring component could be employed to perform measurements, wherein respective outputs from the taps were switched into the measurement component with a switching element such as an analog or digital multiplexer, for example.
- Gain estimates can be determined by the gain estimator 300 in accordance with one or more pilot symbols 310.
- a threshold component 320 can process the path to select a subset of channel paths as will be described in more detail below with respect to Figs. 4 and 5.
- Time-domain filtering may optionally be performed on the channel response estimates for multiple symbols 310 to obtain a higher quality channel estimate. The time-domain filtering may be omitted or may be performed on frequency response estimates if desired.
- Fig. 4 illustrates a threshold component 400 for selecting a channel subset from a plurality of analyzed signal path magnitudes 410 which were previously described with respect to Fig. 2 above.
- the threshold component 300 includes a comparator function 420 that determines whether or not a respective signal magnitude exceeds or falls below a threshold. This is illustrated at 430, wherein a threshold value (or values) are input by the comparator function 420.
- the threshold value 430 can be analog or digital in nature depending on the nature of the comparator function 420. For example, if the comparator is an analog comparator sampling for voltage, then the threshold value 430 can be a corresponding voltage employed for determining whether or not a signal is above or below the threshold value.
- the threshold value can be a digital code or codes that describe a threshold for comparison (e.g., all sampled signal paths below a given digital value are rejected as candidates).
- a path selector 440 e.g., digital/analog switch or process receives path magnitude output 410 from taps or other areas in a receiver circuit, wherein the path magnitudes are compared in bulk or individually by the comparator function 420. Those signal paths exceeding the threshold value 430 can be selected at 450. Alternatively, those paths falling below the threshold value 430 can be rejected.
- Fig. 5 illustrates thresholding options 500 for selecting a channel subset.
- a thresholding algorithm 510 selects a subset of path magnitudes from a complete set of taps that model a wireless channel. This can include employment of single or multiple thresholds at 520 and 530, respectively.
- a threshold is used to determine whether a given element/tap has sufficient energy and should be retained or should be zeroed out. This process is referred to as "thresholding”.
- the threshold can be computed based on various factors and in various manners.
- the threshold can be a relative value (i.e., dependent on the measured channel response) or an absolute value ⁇ i.e., not dependent on the measured channel estimate).
- a relative threshold can be computed based on the ⁇ e.g., total or average) energy of the channel impulse response estimate.
- the use of the relative threshold ensures that (1) the thresholding is not dependent on variations in the received energy and (2) the elements/taps that are present but with low signal energy are not zeroed out.
- An absolute threshold can be computed based on the noise variance/noise floor at the receiver, the lowest energy expected for the received pilot symbols, and so on. The use of the absolute threshold forces signal path elements to meet some minimum value in order to be retained.
- the threshold can also be computed based on a combination of factors used for relative and absolute thresholds. For example, the threshold can be computed based on the energy of the channel estimate and further constrained to be equal to or greater than a predetermined minimum value.
- the thresholding is performed on all tap elements of using a single threshold 520.
- the thresholding is performed on all P elements using multiple thresholds at 530.
- a first threshold may be used for the first L elements
- a second threshold may be used for the last P-L elements.
- the second threshold may be set lower than the first threshold.
- the thresholding is performed on only the last P-L elements of and not on the first L elements. Thresholding is well suited for a wireless channel that is "sparse".
- a sparse wireless channel has much of the channel energy concentrated in few taps. Each tap corresponds to a resolvable signal path with different time delay.
- a sparse channel includes few signal paths even though the delay spread ⁇ i.e., time difference) between these signal paths may be large.
- the taps corresponding to weak or non-existing signal paths can be zeroed out, if desired.
- Figs. 6 and 7, illustrate processes 600 and 700 for wireless signal processing. While, for purposes of simplicity of explanation, the methodologies are shown and described as a series or number of acts, it is to be understood and appreciated that the processes described herein are not limited by the order of acts, as some acts may occur in different orders and/or concurrently with other acts from that shown and described herein. For example, those skilled in the art will understand and appreciate that a methodology could alternatively be represented as a series of interrelated states or events, such as in a state diagram. Moreover, not all illustrated acts may be required to implement a methodology in accordance with the subject methodologies disclosed herein.
- Fig. 6 is a flow diagram illustrating a path analysis and thresholding process 600 for selecting a communications channel subset from a plurality or fixed range of signal paths spread over time.
- signal paths from a communications are input at a receiver for further processing.
- the receiver can be associated with substantially any type of device such as a cell phone, personal computer, hand held computer, or at other points in the transmission process such as at a base station.
- one or more tap outputs which receive the signal paths are measured for path magnitudes. As noted above, this can include energy estimates, power estimates, gain estimates, SNR estimates, power factor estimates, phase estimates, and so forth.
- FIG. 7 is a flow diagram illustrating a dynamic selection process 700 for selecting a channel subset.
- the feedback can be employed to monitor such parameters as signal to noise ratio (SNR) and Doppler frequency, for example.
- SNR signal to noise ratio
- Doppler frequency for example.
- SNR signal to noise ratio
- one manner for changing thresholding parameters can be as a function of the observed SNR (measured from the pilot taps) and the maximum Doppler for which the system is designed.
- Another example includes an algorithm ⁇ e.g., typically based on channel estimation) that would coarsely determine the observed Doppler.
- the feedback can also include monitoring user interface adjustments for changes in operating parameters or monitoring sensors such as a velocity sensor or an accelerometer to determine changes in speed of a mobile communications device.
- the feedback from 710 is processed according to the various principles and components discussed above. This can include employment of taps, filters, digital signal processors, threshold algorithms, analog components, measuring components, comparators, and so forth to perform signal magnitude processing and subset selection.
- a determination is made as to whether or not to perform a dynamic threshold change which controls the amount of path subsets selected. For instance, if a change in velocity is detected, threshold variables can be automatically raised or lowed as part of a closed-loop control process in order to trade off channel accuracy versus Doppler tolerance. If thresholds do not change at 730, the process proceeds back to 710 to monitor system and/or user actions. If the thresholds change at 730, new path magnitudes are determined at 740 based on the detected change. For instance, if a user changes an adjustment on a user interface (e.g., cell phone menu), thresholds can be adjusted accordingly based on received commands from the user.

- the system 1000 may be designed to support one or more CDMA standards such as (1) the "TINEIA-95-B Mobile Station-Base Station Compatibility Standard for Dual-Mode Wideband Spread Spectrum Cellular System” (the IS-95 standard), (2) the documents offered by a consortium named “3rd Generation Partnership Project” (3GPP) and embodied in a set of documents including Document Nos. 3G TS 25.211, 3G TS 25.212, 3G TS 25.213, and 3G TS 25.214 (the W-CDMA standard), and (3) the documents offered by a consortium named "3rd Generation Partnership Project 2" (3GPP2) and embodied in a set of documents including Document Nos.
- CDMA such as (1) the "TINEIA-95-B Mobile Station-Base Station Compatibility Standard for Dual-Mode Wideband Spread Spectrum Cellular System” (the IS-95 standard), (2) the documents offered by a consortium named “3rd Generation Partnership Project” (3GPP) and embodied in a set of documents including Document Nos.
- C.SO024, C.SO026, C.P9011, and CP9012 (the cdma2000 standard).
- these are converted by standards bodies world- wide (e.g., TIA, ETSI, ARIB, TTA, and CWTS) into regional standards and have been converted into international standards by the International Telecommunications Union (ITU). These standards are incorporated herein by reference.
- Fig. 11 is a simplified block diagram of an embodiment of subscriber unit 1002 and a base station 1004, which are capable of implementing various embodiments described herein.
- voice data, packet data, and/or messages may be exchanged between a subscriber unit 1002 and a base station 1004.
- Various types of messages may be transmitted such as messages used to establish a communication session between the base station 1004 and the sub-scriber unit 1002 and messages used to control a data transmission (e.g., power control, data rate information, acknowledgment, and so on).
- voice and/or packet data e.g., from a data source 1210
- messages e.g., from a controller 1230
- TX transmit
- the transmit data processor 1212 includes a code generator that implements the one or more coding schemes. Output digits of the code generator are commonly termed chips. A chip is a single binary digit. Thus, a chip is an output digit of the code generator.
- Each coding scheme may include any combination of cyclic redundancy check (CRC), convolutional, Turbo, block, and other coding, or no coding at all.
- voice data, packet data, and messages are coded using different schemes, and different types of message may also be coded differently.
- the coded data is then provided to a modulator (MOD) 1214 and further processed (e.g., covered, spread with short PN sequences, and scrambled with a long PN sequence assigned to the user terminal).
- the coded data is covered with Walsh codes, spread with a long PN code, and further spread with short PN codes.
- the spread data is then provided to a transmitter unit (TMTR) 1216 and conditioned (e.g., converted to one or more analog signals, amplified, filtered, and quadrature modulated) to generate a reverse link signal.
- TMTR transmitter unit
- Transmitter unit 1216 includes a power amplifier 1316 that amplifies the one or more analog signals.
- the reverse link signal is routed through a duplexer (D) 1218 and transmitted over an antenna 1220 to base station 1004.
- the transmission of the reverse link signal occurs over a period of time called transmission time.
- Transmission time is partitioned into time units.
- the transmission time may be partitioned into frames.
- the transmission time may be partitioned into time slots.
- a time slot is a duration of time.
- data is partitioned into data packets, with each data packet being transmitted over one or more time units.
- the base station can direct data transmission to any subscriber unit, which is in communication with the base station.
- frames may be further partitioned into a plurality of time slots.
- time slots may be further partitioned. For example, a time slot may be partitioned into half-slots and quarter-slots.
- the modulator 1214 includes a peak- to-average reduction module that reduces the peak-to- average power ratio of the reverse link signal.
- the peak-to-average reduction module is located after the spread data is filtered.
- the peak-to-average reduction module is located within the transmitter 1216.
- the peak-to- average reduction module is located between the modulator 1214 and the transmitter 1216.
- the reverse link signal is received by an antenna 1250, routed through a duplexer 1252, and provided to a receiver unit (RCVR) 254, which conditions (e.g., filters, amplifies, downconverts, and digitizes) the received signal and provides samples.
- a demodulator (DEMOD) 1256 receives and processes (e.g., despreads, decovers, and pilot demodulates) the samples to provide recovered symbols.
- Demodulator 1256 may implement a rake receiver that processes multiple instances of the received signal and generates combined symbols.
- a receive (RX) data processor 1258 then decodes the symbols to recover the data and messages transmitted on the reverse link.
- the recovered voice/packet data is provided to a data sink 1260 and the recovered messages may be provided to a controller 1270.
- the processing by demodulator 1256 and RX data processor 1258 are complementary to that performed at subscriber unit 1002.
- Demodulator 1256 and RX data processor 1258 may further be operated to process multiple transmissions received over multiple channels, e.g., a reverse fundamental channel (R-FCH) and a reverse supplemental channel (R-SCH). Also, transmissions may be received concurrently from multiple subscriber units 1002, each of which may be transmitting on a reverse fundamental channel, a reverse supplemental channel, or both.
- R-FCH reverse fundamental channel
- R-SCH reverse supplemental channel
- voice and/or packet data e.g., from a data source 1262
- messages e.g., from controller 1270
- TX transmit
- MOD modulator
- TMTR transmitter unit
- the forward link signal is received by antenna 1220, routed through duplexer "218, and provided to a receiver unit "222.
- Receiver unit 1222 conditions (e.g., downconverts, filters, amplifies, quadrature demodulates, and digitizes) the received signal and provides samples.
- the samples are processed (e.g., despreaded, decovered, and pilot demodulated) by a demodulator 1224 to provide symbols, and the symbols are further processed (e.g., decoded and checked) by a receive data processor 1226 to recover the data and messages transmitted on the forward link.
- the recovered data is provided to a data sink 1228, and the recovered messages may be provided to controller 1230.
