A METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SCALING PARAMETER ESTIMATION IN PARAMETRIC GENERALIZED RAKE RECEIVERS

摘要

wireless communication receiver such as a receiver that includes a wireless communication transceiver is implemented in a base station or a mobile station of a wireless communication network, includes a parameter G-RAKE receiver circuit and method that computes the scaling parameter by parameter transmission interval. In one embodiment, the measured impairment correlation (impairment correlation) is obtained for each transmission slot is used to estimate the instantaneous value of the scaling parameter. The moment one or both of the values are then the restrictions of the one or more defined limits. In other embodiments, a plurality of transmission slots is used to increase the possible number of measurements used to estimate the scaling parameter, this parameter constraints are optionally applied. Additional embodiments are used to iteratively solve for the method and / or one of the parameters, and the result is used to obtain the other parameter (s). These embodiments can be improved through the use of one or more error correction / detection information of.
