Abstract: In a wireless communication system, a chip time is selected in a complex pseudonoise (PN) sequence generator. For a next chip time following the selected chip time, a phase difference between a previous complex PN chip and a next complex PN chip is restricted to a preselected phase angle. In one embodiment, every other chip time is selected and the preselected angle is 90 degrees.

Abstract: In a digital preprocessing system for processing a digital signal for analog transmission, the digital signal is up-sampled to produce a digital up-sampled signal having signal components in a plurality of Nyquist bands including a first Nyquist band and a plurality of super-Nyquist bands at higher frequencies than the first Nyquist band, wherein the first Nyquist band includes a baseband signal component and a plurality of aliased signal components. Thereafter, one of the plurality of signal components in the first Nyquist band is selected from the digital up-sampled signal.

Abstract: A peak-reducing waveform is estimated and summed with a composite signal to reduce the peak-to-average power ratio of the composite signal. The estimate of the peak-reducing waveform is modified to have Walsh code components orthogonal to the assigned Walsh codes. An iterative process of estimating subsequent peak-reducing waveform is implemented to produce a peak-reducing waveform which, when summed with the composite signal, results in a composite signal having a peak-to-average ratio at a desired level and thus does not have the effects of remodulating the assigned Walsh codes. Constraints on the magnitude of the unassigned Walsh code components can be included for controlling the power level under the unassigned Walsh codes.

Abstract: A multi-channel digital transceiver (400) receives uplink radio frequency signals and converts these signals to digital intermediate frequency signals. Digital signal processing, including a digital converter module (426), is employed to select digital intermediate frequency signals received at a plurality of antennas (412) and to convert these signals to baseband signals. The baseband signals are processed to recover a communication channel therefrom. Downlink baseband signals are also processed and digital signal processing within the digital converter module (426) up converters and modulates the downlink baseband signals to digital intermediate frequency signals. The digital intermediate frequency signals are converted to analog radio frequency signals, amplified and radiated from transmit antennas (420).

Abstract: A method and apparatus for mitigating error in a received communications signal includes an error mitigator (35) of a communication unit (12) which receives and performs mitigation based on an error indication. In a first embodiment the error indication is a phase or non-used data symbol indicating error in ADPCM data, and mitigation includes changing certain nibble values to different predetermined values. In a second embodiment the error indication may include other parameters, e.g., a CRC frame error indicator, and an error estimator (34) determines a level of corruption in the ADPCM data. The error mitigator (35) applies a predetermined set of replacement values based on the indicated level of corruption and the mitigated data is subsequently decoded in an ADPCM decoder (26).
