  • Publication number: 20140241403
    Abstract: A method for performing joint detection includes adjusting a ranking order of codes in a matched filtering result, and a ranking order of column vectors in a system submatrix according to the power. The joint detection is performed using an adjusted matched filtering result and an adjusted system submatrix, and acquires demodulated signals corresponding to the codes. The codes that have high power will be demodulated first. This ensures accuracy of demodulation, inhibits erroneous propagation effect, and improves accuracy of the joint detection.

  • Publication number: 20140226633
    Abstract: This invention relates to a method and an apparatus for code activation, and a computer program and a storage medium thereof. A combined channel impulse response for each code is calculated based on a channelization code, a scrambling code and a channel impulse response corresponding to the code; a statistical result of the correlations between each interference code and all user codes is obtained; an active interference code number is determined; the determined number of interference codes, are activated, wherein a selection of which interference codes to activate is based on the statistical result. In some embodiments of this invention, the interference codes having a close correlation with the user codes may be selected to be activated, thereby the performance of joint detection is improved. In some embodiments of this invention, the complexity of the subsequent joint detection will be remarkably reduced on the premise of ensuring the performance of the joint detection.

  • Publication number: 20140044103
    Abstract: The present invention provides a code channel activation method, a code channel activation device, a computer program and a storage medium, so as to solve the problem in the prior art that performance loss of a receiver will be caused when performing code channel activation. The method comprises calculating correlation between interference code channels on which code channel activation is to be performed and a user code channel, and correlation between the user code channels, to obtain correlation results; and performing code channel activation according to the correlation results. According to the present invention, the code channel activation is performed according to the correlation between the code channels. As a result, it is able to reserve the code channels with more information, thereby to prevent the performance loss of the receiver.
