    Receiver and Receive Method {RECEIVER AND RECEPTION METHOD}
    [2] In a wireless system, such as a cellular wireless system, the conditions under which radio waveforms propagate typically continue to change, which causes variations in time and space in the wireless signal, i.e., fading. Changes that occur in the impulse response of the channel can be caused by physical changes in the medium (e.g. variations in the refractive index of the medium due to temperature, pressure and partial pressure of water vapor) or changes in the geometry of the connection (hence in the movement or connection of the transmitter or receiver) May be caused by
    [3] Fast fading of a signal, a form of signal fading, is caused by the multipath propagation characteristics of a cellular wireless environment, where the signal propagates through several different routes between the transmitter and receiver. Such channels may be referred to as Rayleigh fading channels (containing only multipath-propagating signal components) or Rice fading channels (receiving signals are also stable, i.e., direct propagation or strong mirror-reflected). ) Portion).
    [4] At the receiver, the multipath-propagating signal components have different phases due to different propagation paths. The RAKE receiver uses these signal components with different phases. The combination of signal components received by different fingers allows to maximize the energy of the received signal. The rake receiver typically includes several fingers, the delays of which are set to correspond to the delays of the different signal components measured, for example, from the impulse response of the channel. The delay setting method of the rake receivers is called a code phase acquisition or code acquisition method and a code tracking method. Typically, code acquisition is performed first, followed by code tracking, in which the delay values set during code phase acquisition are adjusted. Patent publications FI982856 or WO00 / 41327 disclose prior art methods for rake receiver code phase acquisition, which are hereby incorporated by reference.
    [5] Rake receivers are used, for example, in Universal Mobile Telecommunications Systems (UMTS), which are wideband data transmission systems, where frequency resources are allocated using code division multiple access (CDMA). In a wideband system, the narrowband user data signal is modulated relatively broadly by a spreading code that is wider than this data signal. In the UMTS system, several users transmit simultaneously on a single frequency channel and separate the data signals from each other based on a pseudo-random spreading code at the receiver.
    [6] One spreading code usually contains one long pseudo-random bit sequence. The bit rate of the spreading code is much higher than the bit rate of the data signal, and the latter spreading code bits are called chips to distinguish data bits and data symbols and spreading code bits. Each user data symbol is multiplied by a spreading code chip. The narrowband data signal is then spread to the frequency band used by the spreading code. The spreading code may be one or more data bits long.
    [7] In a CDMA system, the rake receiver synchronizes with the spreading code sequence specific to the signal component. Then, to perform code phase acquisition and code tracking, the spreading code generator of the receiver typically synchronizes according to delay values obtained from the maximum point of the impulse response. The problem with synchronization, or delay setting, is that code phase acquisition and code tracking must take up a large amount of computational capacity due to the number of samples. Furthermore, when the impulse response has a wide maximum power range, not distinct peaks, i.e. in a "fat finger" situation, it is based on the impulse response determined from the signal component received by one finger according to the prior art. Synchronization is difficult to achieve, and usually some of the energy of the signal to be received is lost.
    [1] The present invention relates to a receiver and a method of receiving using multipath-propagated signal components of a signal to be received in order to maximize the signal energy to be received.
    [15] The invention is now described in more detail in conjunction with the preferred embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings.

This is accomplished by a method of code tracking rake receiver fingers, in which delay values are set for the rake receiver fingers.

    [12] Preferred embodiments of the invention are disclosed in the dependent claims.
    [13] The concept of the present invention is to combine the samples, power or amplitude taken near the impulse response maximum points of each rake finger with different sets of measurements, thereby synchronizing each rake receiver finger individually. In the following, the principles of the invention will be explained in more detail by one embodiment, with three samples (early samples, on-time samples, late samples) If taken and the number of receiver fingers is four, this gives 3 4, i.e. 81 different measurement sets. One set of measurements with the highest set of measurements, that is, one set of measurements with the largest amplitude added from the samples. Then, in the selected amplitude sample combination, if the amplitudes of the fingers 1 and 2 are rate samples and the amplitudes of the fingers 3 and 4 are early samples (the inaccuracy of the timing is equal to the length of the spreading code chip). Or greater than this), the code phase of the fingers 1 and 2 is delayed and the fingers 3 and 4 are kept in such a way as to keep the minimum delay distance between the fingers so that the diversity gain is not reduced. The code phase of is advanced. The above examples are not intended to limit the application of the present invention but to illustrate the present invention only.
    [14] The method and system of the present invention provide several advantages. The delay setting of the rake receiver fingers will be faster, and computational capacity will be saved because only a few, for example, three samples are used to determine the impulse response of the channel. In addition, if the impulse response includes a wide maximum power range rather than distinct maximum points, the Rake fingers may be better by using an impulse response measurement result set determined based on the multipath-propagation signal components received by the various fingers. It can be synchronized in an optimal manner. That is, signal energy received from the wireless channel can be maximized. The method further includes maintaining the delay of the different fingers at least a minimum delay distance from each other, in which case the diversity gain will not be lost.
    [21] The following embodiments describe preferred embodiments of the present invention in a UMTS (Universal Mobile Communication System) system, but the present invention is not limited thereto.
    [22] 1 exemplarily illustrates a structure of a mobile telephone system. The main parts of the mobile telephone system are the core network (CN), the UMTS terrestrial radio access network (UTRAN) and the user equipment (UE). The interface between the CN and the UTRAN is called Iu, and the air interface between the UTRAN and the UE is called Uu.
    [23] The UTRAN includes radio network subsystems (RNS). The interface between RNSs is called Iur. One RNS includes one radio network controller (RNC) and one or more nodes (B). The interface between the RNC and one B is called Iub. In the figure, C denotes the coverage area of the node B, ie the cell.
    [24] The description shown in FIG. 1 is quite general, and FIG. 2 shows a more detailed embodiment of a cellular wireless system. 2 includes only the most relevant blocks, it will be apparent to one skilled in the art that a typical cellular wireless network further includes other functions and structures, which need to be described in more detail herein. none. The details of the cellular wireless system may differ from those disclosed in FIG. 2, and this difference is not relevant to the present invention.
    [25] Typically, a cellular wireless network is therefore fixedly located in a fixed network infrastructure, such as a vehicle or portable terminals, such as the network portion 200, a mobile phone or portable computer capable of communicating with a wireless telecommunication system. User equipment 202 that can move from place to place. The network unit 200 includes base transceiver stations 204. The transceiver base station corresponds to Node B of the previous figure. Several transceiver base stations are also controlled in a centralized manner by the wireless network controller 206 connected to them. The transceiver base station 204 includes transceivers 208 and one multiplexer unit 212.
    [26] The transceiver base station 204 further includes a control unit 210, which controls the operation of the transceivers 208 and the multiplexer 212. The multiplexer 212 is used to arrange the traffic and control channels used by the multiple transceivers 208 in a single transport connection 214. The transport connection 214 constitutes an interface Iub.
    [27] The transceivers 208 of the transceiver base station 204 are connected with the antenna unit 218 to establish a two-way wireless connection 216 with the user device 202. The structure of the frames transmitted to the bidirectional radio connection 216 is specified by a system designation, which is called the air interface Uu.
    [28] The wireless network controller 206 includes a group switching field 220 and a control unit 222. The group switching field 220 is used to switch voice and data and combine signaling circuits. The wireless network subsystem 224 includes the transceiver base station 204, and the wireless network controller 206 further includes a transcoder 226. Usually the transcoder 226 is as mobile service switching center as possible because voice can be transmitted in cellular wireless network mode between the transcoder 226 and the radio network controller 206 using as little transmission capacity as possible. (MSC) close to 228.
    [29] The transcoder 226 uses different digital voice encoding modes used between a public switched telephone network (PSTN) and a wireless telephone network to compatible encoding modes, for example from a fixed network mode to another mode of a cellular wireless network. And also reverse. The control unit 222 performs call control, mobility management, collection and signaling of statistical data.
    [30] FIG. 2 further shows a mobile service switching center (MSC) 228 and a gateway mobile service switching center (GMSC) 230, which GMSC 230 represents a mobile telephone system and the outside world, in this case a public switched telephone network. (PSTN) 232 is responsible for the connection.
    [31] The flowchart of FIG. 3 shows method steps for code tracking. The method begins at block 300. At block 302, the rake receiver fingers are code tracked using prior art methods, preferably by determining the highest values of the impulse response of the received signal with the accuracy allowed by the selected method.
    [32] At block 304, a series of samples are taken from the received signal, preferably near the peak of the impulse response of each finger. Preferably, the samples are amplitude values or power values. The samples can be taken, for example, at intervals of one sample time or multiple sample times. The number of samples may vary depending on the application. However, since all receiver fingers take the same number of samples, subsequent comparison steps provide accurate results. By weighting the receiver fingers differently, different samples may be taken from different fingers. The number of possible samples is three, in which case one sample is taken at any point in time at which it is assumed that there is a maximum point of the impulse response based on the code acquisition. This sample is referred to herein as an on-time sample. The second sample is taken earlier than, for example, one sampling moment, which is referred to herein as an early sample. The third sample is taken later than, for example, one sampling moment and is referred to herein as a rate sample. The difference between the sampling moments of the series of samples may be greater than one sampling moment, in which case missing samples are obtained by interpolation.
    [33] At block 306, sample values measured at different fingers are combined with the measurement sets. Preferably, all possible sample value combinations are generated. In the case of including the above three samples and four receiver fingers, an exemplary embodiment of measurement sets comprises the following measurement sets: early sample (first finger), early sample (second finger), on; A time sample (third finger) and a rate sample (fourth finger) or a rate sample (first finger), an early sample (second finger), a rate sample (third finger) and an on-time sample (fourth) Samples). Different sample values are preferably combined by addition, but other combining methods may be used.
    [34] At block 308, the measurement sets are compared with each other, ie, the sum of the amplitudes or the sum of the powers of the different measurement sets calculated at block 306, for example. As a result, the set having the highest value, ie, the sum of the largest amplitude or the sum of the powers, is selected from the set of measurements. According to the second embodiment, the set with the highest value is selected from among the sets of measurements that satisfy the minimum delay distance condition for the fingers. The minimum delay distance indicates the smallest delay difference between the different fingers, whereby the different fingers synchronize with the different signal components and can be set appropriately in each application.
    [35] Block 310 illustrates that the selection is performed as a result of the comparison based on the basic units of the selected set of measurements, ie, the sampling moments of the different samples. If the sample is earlier than the on-time sample determined based on the code acquisition, advance the sampling or code phase of the particular finger for the next sample (block 312). On the other hand, if the sample is later than the on-time sample determined based on the code acquisition, delay the sampling or code phase of the particular finger for the next sample (block 314). If the minimum delay distance condition is not satisfied with the selected set of measurements, the sampling moment or code phase is changed only within the limits defined by the minimum delay condition.
    [36] When the sampling moment deviates by one spreading code bit, i.e., less than the period of the chip, from the on-time sampling moment determined based on code acquisition, the sampling moment is moved. On the other hand, when the sampling moment deviates by at least one spreading code bit, i.e., the period of the chip, in the on-time sampling moment determined based on the code acquisition, the code phase of the code generator is shifted.
    [37] Next, an embodiment of synchronizing a sampling moment or code phase will be described. For example, in the selected measurement set, which may be a combination of amplitude samples, if the amplitude of fingers 1 and 2 are rate samples and the amplitude of finger 3 is an early sample (the inaccuracy of timing is a spreading code Equal to or greater than the length of the chip), the code phase of the fingers 1 and 2 is delayed and the code phase of the finger 3 is advanced. While adjusting the delays of the fingers, it should be noted that the minimum delay distance between the fingers must be maintained so that the diversity gain is not reduced.
    [38] Arrow 316 indicates that the method can be repeated starting with code capture. The code acquisition and possibly the impulse response estimate required for the code acquisition can be repeated, for example, at certain intervals or when the quality of the received signal is too low.
    [39] Arrow 318 represents the repeatability of the code tracking method. Code tracking allows you to extend the interval at which code capture is repeated.
    [40] The method ends at block 320.
    [41] 4 exemplarily shows a rake receiver code tracking unit. The rake receiver described in this embodiment includes three correlator fingers 404, 406 and 408. The number of fingers may differ from the illustrated embodiment. Differently delayed, each signal component received by antenna or antenna array 400, filtered by radio frequency section 402 and downconverted to baseband is applied to its own receiver finger. The described receiver further includes a diversity combiner 412, which combines differently delayed signal components of different fingers. In the exemplary solution of this figure, the control unit 414 includes a code tracking mechanism that controls code delays and sampling moments.
    [42] Signals 416, 418 and 420 deliver the samples taken at each finger to the control unit. If necessary, signals 422, 424 and 426 convey a code tracking control signal to each finger to control the code delays or sampling moments.
    [43] Next, an embodiment of the structure of the rake finger for code tracking will be described with reference to FIG. The receiver is a spread spectrum receiver that receives a DS (direct sequence) signal, ie a direct spread signal.
    [44] In the receiver finger of the disclosed embodiment, three samples are taken from the signal component. However, it should be noted that the number of samples may differ from the illustrated embodiment. To the sampling means 508, 510 and 512 is applied a complex wideband signal which is typically baseband and preferably decimated by taking one sample from each chip. Based on code phase acquisition, the sampling means 510 is assumed to be on-time. That is, a certain sampling moment is determined for the sampling means 510, so that sampling occurs at a point in time that was determined as the probability of occurrence of one of the peaks of the impulse response based on code phase acquisition. The sampling moment of the sampling means 508 is preferably delayed by one sampling moment compared to the sampling moment of the sampling means 510, and the sampling moment of the sampling means 512 is preferably the sampling means 510. Advances by one sampling moment compared to the sampling moment of This provides three samples, which are referred to herein as early samples, on-time samples, and rate samples.
    [45] To despread the narrowband signal from the received signal, the sampled signals are multiplied by the spread code sequence generated by the code generator 500. For each sample, ie early, on-time or rate sample, the spreading code delay can be determined separately. The embodiment of FIG. 5 also shows integrated-and-dump filters 524, 526 and 528, where the signal is integrated at some moment, for example symbol time, and the result is output. The integrator is reset to zero, and the integral is restarted. The filters 524, 526, and 528 may also be implemented using low pass filters.
    [46] Next, in the solution disclosed in FIG. 5, pilot symbols are separated from the signals by demultiplexers 532, 534 and 536. The pilot symbols are then multiplied by the complex conjugates of the pilot symbols formed at block 546 at multipliers 540, 542 and 544 and in time slots at blocks 550, 552 and 554. In other words, the pilot symbols are filtered by a matching filter to determine the multipath delay profile of the radio channel. In addition, the multipath delay profile can be averaged. Envelope detectors 556, 558, and 560 are used to determine the amplitude or power of the complex signal. Instead of an envelope detector, a square-law detector may be used.
    [47] In blocks 562, 564, and 566, integration is performed to remove noise. The three samples acquired, namely early, on-time and rate samples, are applied to the control unit 414, which controls the samples obtained from all receiver fingers, in the embodiment of FIG. Combine the amplitude or power values of the samples determined by the envelope detector or square-law detector with different sets of measurements, compare these sets to select the largest set, and based on the selected set, different receiver fingers Is responsible for providing synchronization commands to the servers. For example, as in the embodiment of this figure, three samples are taken, and the number of receiver fingers is also assumed to be three. This gives 3 3 or 27 different measurement sets. One measurement set of one of the above measurement sets having the highest value, that is, one measurement set having the largest amplitude added from the samples, is selected. If the amplitude of the fingers 1 and 2 in the selected amplitude sample combination is the rate samples and the amplitude of the finger 3 is an early sample (the inaccuracy of the timing is equal to or greater than the length of the spreading code chip), The code phase of fingers 1 and 2 is delayed and the code phase of finger 3 is advanced. While adjusting the delays of the fingers, it should be noted that the minimum delay distance between the fingers must be maintained so that the diversity gain is not reduced.
    [48] According to a second embodiment, the largest set of measurements is selected from the set of measurements that satisfy the minimum delay distance condition.
    [49] Based on the pilot symbols, the channel estimator 568 estimates the quality of the wireless channel. Conditional estimation is used to remove symbol phase rotation caused by the wireless channel from data symbols.
    [50] Sampling means 514 is used to sample the data signal. The data signal is also wideband, so it is smoothed by means 522 and 530. In multiplier 548, the data symbols are multiplied by the channel condition estimate, after which the data bits are not particularly relevant to the present invention. It is delivered to decoding means not shown.
    [51] It should be noted that the code tracking method described can be applied without using a pilot signal, so that the information necessary to synchronize the sampling moment or code phase is obtained by processing the data signal with respect to the pilot signal in a manner corresponding thereto.
    [52] The functional blocks of the user device described above, such as a code tracking control unit, can be implemented in a number of ways in software executed by a processor or hardware implementation, such as, for example, discrete components and logic made using an ASIC (Custom Integrated Circuit). Can be implemented.
    [53] Although the present invention has been described above with reference to the embodiments according to the accompanying drawings, it is clear that the present invention can be modified in many ways without being limited thereto and within the scope of the inventive idea disclosed in the appended claims.
