Publication number: 20070116103Abstract: A searcher uses an input signal, and for example, a matched filter to generate a first set of candidate paths. A selector uses the input signal and the first set of candidate paths to generate a second set of paths. The second set of paths is used to configure the fingers of a RAKE receiver. According to one aspect of the invention, the first set of candidate paths contains M paths, and the second stage uses M correlators to generate a set of M correlation values. The second stage uses the M correlation values to select N paths that are used to configure the N fingers of the RAKE receiver. According to another aspect of the invention, the first set of candidate paths contains M paths, and the second stage uses a multiple of M correlators to track the M paths and generate a set of M estimates. The second stage uses the M estimates to select N paths that are used to configure the N fingers of the RAKE receiver.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 24, 2007Publication date: May 24, 2007Applicant: TELEFONAKTIEBOLAGET L M ERICSSON (PUBL)Inventors: Roozbeh Atarius, Torsten Carlsson, Hakan Eriksson, Kjell Gustafsson, Torgny Palenius, Christer Ostberg

Patent number: 7065130Abstract: A method and system enables matched filters of a CDMA system to be simplified using a two stage search. A course stage and a fine stage jointly produce the location(s) of received signal path-rays. In a first stage, an oversampled digital signal is decimated, and the decimated signal is applied to a matched filter to eventually produce an approximate location. In a second stage, the oversampled signal is shifted based on the determined approximate location and then correlated to a generated code, and a more-exact location is selected from the outputs of the correlations. Alternatively, a shifted version of the generated code is correlated to the oversampled signal, and the more-exact location is selected from the outputs of those correlations.Type: GrantFiled: October 2, 2000Date of Patent: June 20, 2006Assignee: Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson (publ)Inventors: Roozbeh Atarius, Håkan Eriksson, Torgny Palenius, Christer Östberg, Torsten Carlsson, Kjell Gustafsson

Publication number: 20020183086Abstract: A technique for improving open loop power control in spread spectrum telecommunications systems is disclosed. In a preferred embodiment, the technique is realized by transmitting at least one first access channel probe for a first message from a mobile station to a base station, wherein the transmission power level of each access channel probe in the at least one first access channel probe is increased until a base station acknowledgment is received for a specific access channel probe of the at least one first access channel probe at a first transmission power level. The first transmission power level is then stored at the mobile station.

Patent number: 6373882Abstract: The present invention provides a system and method for reducing the power consumed by a RAKE receiver. In exemplary embodiments of the present invention, an environment variation estimator is implemented in a CDMA mobile station. The environment variation estimator is connected to the searcher of the RAKE receiver and provides an estimate of the rate at which the mobile station's environment is changing. By providing an estimate of the rate of change of the mobile station's environment, the duty cycle of the searcher can be optimized, thereby reducing the overall power consumed by the receiver. By also providing the estimate to the RAKE fingers, channel tracking can be improved.Type: GrantFiled: November 6, 1998Date of Patent: April 16, 2002Assignee: Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson (publ)Inventors: Roozbeh Atarius, Torsten Carlsson, Håkan Eriksson, Kjell Gustafsson, Torgny Palenius, Christer Östberg

Patent number: 6091963Abstract: The present invention relates to a receiver device comprising a receiver (104) adapted to receive radio signals in two frequency bands (FB1, FB2). The radio signals in one of the frequency bands (FB1) constitute communication signals for a radio system (AMPS, NMT) having a certain channel spacing, whereas the radio signals of the second frequency band (FB2) constitutes communication signals for a second radio system (PCS1900, DCS1800, GSM) having a second certain channel spacing. The receiver (104) comprises two inputs (108, 11) each intended for a radio system having different frequency bands and channel spacing. For radio signals occurring on one input (108), mixing is performed from the RF range directly to the baseband frequency range. For radio signals occurring on the second input (108) the mixing from the radio frequency range to the baseband frequency range is carried out through an intermediate frequency range.Type: GrantFiled: January 14, 1998Date of Patent: July 18, 2000Assignee: Telefonaktiebolaget LM EricssonInventors: Jacob Mannerstr.ang.le, Martin Isberg, Bjorn Lindquist, Torsten Carlsson, Hans Hagberg, Peter Jakobsson, Lars Kunkel, Kjell Gustafsson

Patent number: 6029052Abstract: A multiple-mode receiver incorporating direct conversion (processing received signals using intermediate frequencies within the same frequency range as the received signal bandwidth) rather than superheterodyne circuitry, allowing receiver hardware components to be re-used rather than replicated for each band. Various embodiments are disclosed in which low pass filters, mixers, quadrature generators, oscillators, and amplifiers are re-used.Type: GrantFiled: July 1, 1997Date of Patent: February 22, 2000Assignee: Telefonaktiebolaget LM EricssonInventors: Martin Isberg, Bjorn Lindquist, Peter Jakobsson, Jan Celander, Kjell Gustafsson, Lars-Peter Kunkel, Torsten Carlsson, Jacob Mannerstr.ang.le

Patent number: 5579347Abstract: A digitally compensated direct-conversion receiver includes devices for generating digital samples of a base-band in-phase signal and a base-band quadrature signal and for detecting the presence of a second-order product signal produced by an amplitude-modulated interfering signal. Also, the apparatus comprises a device for digitally compensating the digital samples by removing the second-order product signal, thereby producing compensated digital samples. In one method of digitally compensating samples of an information signal quadrature-modulating a carrier signal, estimated samples of a second-order product from a switched carrier signal are formed by averaging the digital samples during two time periods and by determining a time of ramps in the in-phase and quadrature signals that occur between the time periods due to the interfering signal. The digital samples may be differentiated and the results smoothed in determining the time of the ramps.Type: GrantFiled: December 28, 1994Date of Patent: November 26, 1996Assignee: Telefonaktiebolaget LM EricssonInventors: Bjorn Lindquist, Martin Isberg, Heino Wendelrup, Martin Sallenhag, Kjell Gustafsson
