  • Patent number: 8320353
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method and system for estimating an adaptive joint channel in a CDMA system based on TDD. The method includes the steps of a) receiving activity information of a mobile terminal; b) parsing the activity information, and transmitting a midamble sequence to the mobile terminal when a result of the parsing shows that the mobile terminal is in an ON state; c) conducting adaptive joint channel estimation by using the midamble sequence in the mobile terminal; and d) conducting adaptive joint detection by using a channel impulse response of the mobile terminal, obtained as a result of conducting the adaptive joint channel estimation. The method and system decreases the complexity in channel estimation and additionally increases the accuracy of channel estimation by reducing transmission power consumption and eliminating unnecessary interference.

  • Patent number: 7161917
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of allocating channel codes for synchronous uplinks in a mobile communication system using a plurality of scrambling codes for the uplinks. This channel code allocating method, when a call is requested, searches for scrambling codes having at least one unused channel code, selects a foremost scrambling code among the found scrambling codes, and allocates an unused channel code in the selected scrambling code to the requested call, and, when a call is released, checks the number of channel codes and a scrambling code used by the released call, searches for active calls using another scrambling code posterior to the scrambling code the released call has used and not more channel codes than the number of the channel codes the released call has used, and re-allocates the channel codes and the scrambling code used by the released call to at least one active call if found.
