Problems solved by technology

These boundaries do not represent the precise range of their associated antennae, of course, and are not always regular in shape or consistent in size.
The number of mobile stations that can operate in a given area is therefore limited by the number of unique encoding sequences available, rather than the number of frequency bands.
This approach is not always taken, however.
As a result, the pulse-shaping filters in these systems introduce unabated ISI that degrades the ability of the receive side to accurately estimate the channel and detect the transmitted symbols.

Embodiment Construction

[0030]FIGS. 1 through 7, discussed herein, and the various embodiments used to describe the present invention are by way of illustration only, and should not be construed to limit the scope of the invention. Those skilled in the art will understand the principles of the present invention may be implemented in any similar radio-communication device, in addition to those specifically discussed herein.

[0031] The present invention is directed to a system and method for communication in a radio telecommunication network, and is of particular advantage when applied to a multi-carrier code division multiple access (MC-CDMA) system that includes a pulse-shaping filter on the transmit side. FIG. 3 is a flow diagram illustrating a relevant portion of the process of signal transmission in such a system. At START, it is assumed that the information to be transmitted has been encoded and modulated. The modulated symbols are then spread (step 305) using an appropriate spreading code and provided...

Abstract

A apparatus and method for improved performance in radio telecommunications systems, and in particular multi-carrier code division multiple access (MC-CDMA) networks that employ pulse-shaping filters on the transmit side of a radio link. In order to more accurately transmit a radio signal bearing a symbol sequence, the modulated and spread information stream is upsampled using a technique that involves inserting zeros in the frequency domain. A corresponding downsampling procedure on the receive side permits reconstruction of the transmitted symbols. A new channel estimation algorithm may also be used, and the improved channel estimation advantageously employed to obtain more faithful symbol detection.

Description

CLAIM OF BENEFIT (35 U.S.C. § 119(e)) [0001] This Application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 60 / 398,418, filed Jul. 25, 2002, which is incorporated by reference herein.FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0002] The present invention relates generally to radio telephony, and more specifically to a method and apparatus for using improved sampling and channel estimation techniques to improve the performance of wideband MC-CDMA radio telecommunication systems that use pulse-shaping filters. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0003] Radio telephony, generally speaking, involves the use of portable radios for telephone communication by a user through a radio telecommunication network. The network connects a large number of network subscribers with each other and, usually, with subscribers of other networks as well. Connections between calling and called parties are made using a network infrastructure that includes information channels and switching devices to route calls to the approp...
