Abstract: A method is described for estimating channel impulse responses of a mobile radio channel. The estimation of the channel impulse responses is accessed with a broad bandwidth by a code division multiplexing method, and with a synchronization channel via which sequences are continuously transmitted to mobile radio receivers. The sequences are provided for synchronization of each mobile radio receiver, are transmitted via the synchronization channel, and are known to each of the mobile radio receivers. The transmitted sequences have pilot symbols for identifying the synchronization channel, and the pilot symbols are transmitted at points that are known to the receivers within a time slot. When searching for and identifying the synchronization channel, the pilot symbols and, possibly, further symbols and sequences which are known in the receivers, are evaluated to estimate the delay times and the complex amplitudes, of the mobile radio channel responses.

Abstract: Mobile radio receivers in a mobile radio system are synchronized. A first synchronization channel is provided, which has a first frequency and via which a code which is known to all the mobile radio receivers and to all the base stations of the mobile radio system is transmitted with a signal. The transmission from a base station to a mobile radio receiver delays the signal by an unknown time period and the first frequency is displaced by the transmission to a second frequency. The method includes a correlation and sampling of the received signal, digital filtering of the correlated and sampled signal, squaring of the filtered signal, determination of the maximum signal level of the squared signal, estimation of the unknown time period with the maximum signal level, despreading of the received signal with the known code, taking into account the just-estimated time period, and fine-tuning of the second frequency to the first frequency.

Abstract: In a method for producing a channel-coded and subscriber-coded message signal, a coding device receives a message signal represented by a sequence of data symbols. The message signal is channel-coded using a channel code and is subscriber-coded using a specific subscriber code selected from a number of available subscriber codes. The specific subscriber code is selected from the subscriber codes available in a memory ME taking account of the error protection level of the channel-coded and subscriber-coded message signal to be transmitted, that is, such that an overall code formed from the channel code and the selected, specific subscriber code has a maximum Hamming distance.

Abstract: A method and a device for generating a rate compatible code are described. In the method, a serial-concatenated code at a code rate that can be predetermined is generated. A message signal is partially coded by a first coding stage. A second coding stage is provided on the output side of the first coding stage. The code rate of the coded message signal can be set in a manner which can be predetermined by a controllable puncturer which is disposed in the signal path between the first coding stage and the second coding stage.

Abstract: A method for equalizing and decoding an error-protected data signal transmitted via a radio channel is described. According to the method, an equalized data signal is calculated at the receiving end in a demodulator with a first channel estimator. The equalized data signal is decoded by a decoder to determine a decoded output signal. The equalized data signal is transmitted to a second channel estimator, which repeatedly detects second channel parameters of the radio channel. The parameters are transmitted to the decoder which uses them as calculation parameters during decoding.

Abstract: A circuit configuration has a radio-frequency section with a receiving mixing stage, and has a signal processing circuit with an A/D converter, a digital filter and a frequency estimator. The frequency estimator continuously determines a first frequency correction control signal, which is representative of a frequency offset between the frequency of an IF received signal and a frequency which is characteristic of a pass band of the filter. The first frequency correction control signal is used for readjustment of the mixing frequency.

Abstract: In a method for data transmission on transmission channels in a digital transmission system, turbo coding is carried out in a turbo coder at a transmitter end for channel coding, and turbo decoding with soft-decision output signals is carried out in a turbo decoder at the receiver end. In order to improve the quality of service, the quality of service is determined from the variances of the soft-output signals at the turbo decoder, and the coding rate is set by adaptation of the puncturing such that a predetermined quality of service is obtained. Alternatively, the number of decoding iterations is set as a function of the quality of service. If a MAP symbol assessor is used at the receiver end, the variances &sgr;2LLR of the soft-decision output signals from the turbo decoder are determined, and the bit error rate is calculated from the variances &sgr;2LLR as a measure of the quality of service.
