Abstract: Symbols are to be recovered from signals received in a shared spectrum. Codes of the signals received in the shared spectrum are processed using a block Fourier transform (FT), producing a code block diagonal matrix. A channel response of the received signals is estimated. The channel response is extended and modified to produce a block circulant matrix and a block FT is taken, producing a channel response block diagonal matrix. The code block diagonal matrix is combined with the channel response block diagonal matrix. The received signals are sampled and processed using the combined code block diagonal matrix and the channel response block diagonal matrix with a Cholesky algorithm. A block inverse FT is performed on a result of the Cholesky algorithm to produce spread symbols. The spread symbols are despread to recover symbols of the received signals.

Abstract: A method of data estimation for a Time Division Duplex (TDD) Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) system or any other system using an extended algorithm (EA) in preference to a truncated algorithm (TA). The EA avoids implementation errors by choice of proper extended matrices, and accepts the use of one piece of hardware. The EA also obviates loss of multiple signals in the tail part of each data field, and avoids errors due to transformation of a Toeplitz matrix to a circulant matrix.
