Definitions

  • the present invention relates to methods and apparatus for cancelling inter- symbol interference (ISI) in coded spread spectrum communication systems.
  • a communication resource is divided into code-space subchannels, which are allocated to different users.
  • a plurality of subchannel signals received by a wireless terminal may correspond to different users and/or different subchannels allocated to a particular user.
  • a single transmitter broadcasts different messages to different receivers, such as a base station in a wireless communication system broadcasting to a plurality of mobile terminals
  • the channel resource is subdivided in order to distinguish between messages intended for each mobile.
  • each mobile terminal may decode messages in its allocated subchannel(s) from the superposition of received signals.
  • a base station typically separates received signals into subchannels in order to differentiate between users.
  • received signals are superpositions of time- delayed and complex-scaled versions of the transmitted signals.
  • the multiplicity of time-delayed paths effectively causes the transmitted waveform to spread out in time en route to the receiver.
  • Several types of interference can arise in multipath channels. Intra-channel interference occurs when multipath delay causes leakage between subchannels. For example, forward-link subchannels that are orthogonal at the transmitter may not be orthogonal at the receiver. Leakage due to multipath delay can also occur within a subchannel when multiple symbols are transmitted sequentially (such as in a multi-shot transmission), as the modulated waveforms for different symbol intervals overlap each other at the receiver.
  • ISI inter- symbol interference
  • Interference can degrade communications by causing a receiver to incorrectly decode received transmissions, thus increasing a receiver's error floor. Interference may also have other harmful effects on communications. For example, interference may diminish the capacity of a communication system, decrease the region of coverage, and/or decrease maximum data rates. For these reasons, a reduction in interference can improve reception of selected signals while addressing the aforementioned limitations due to interference.
