Definitions
- the invention generally relates to the field of signal processing for wireless communications. More specifically the invention is related to interference cancellation in single- and multi-mode communication systems.
- multiple-access schemes are used to specify how multiple users or multiple signals share a specified time and frequency allocation.
- Spread-spectrum techniques may be used to allow multiple users and/or signals to share the same frequency band and time interval simultaneously.
- Time division multiple access (TDMA) and frequency division multiple access (FDMA) assign unique time or frequency slots to the user.
- Code division multiple access (CDMA) assigns a unique code to differentiate each signal and/or user.
- the codes are typically designed to have minimal cross-correlation to mitigate interference. However, multipath effects introduce cross correlations between codes and cause CDMA systems to be interference-limited.
- a transmitter may transmit a plurality of signals in the same frequency band by using a combination of scrambling codes and/or spreading (i.e., orthogonalizing) codes.
- each transmitter may be identified by a unique scrambling code or scrambling-code offset.
- scrambling may denote encoding data with a W-CDMA scrambling code or encoding data with short pseudo-noise (PN) sequences, such as used in CDMA2000 and IS-95 systems.
- PN pseudo-noise
- a single transmitter may transmit a plurality of signals sharing the same scrambling code, but may distinguish between signals with a unique orthogonalizing spreading code.
- Spreading codes as used herein, encode the signal and provide channelization of the signal.
- orthogonal variable spreading factor (OVSF) codes are used to spread data for multiple access.
- CDMA2000 and IS-95 employ Walsh covering codes for multiple-access spreading.
- Co-channel interference may include multipath interference from the same transmitter, wherein a transmitted signal propagates along multiple paths that arrive at a receiver at different times.
- Cross-channel interference may include interference caused by signal paths originating from other transmitters.
- Interference degrades communications by causing a receiver to incorrectly detect received transmissions, thus increasing a receiver's error floor. Interference may also have other deleterious effects on communications. For example, interference may diminish capacity of a communication system, decrease the region of coverage, and/or decrease data rates. For these reasons, a reduction in interference can improve reception of selected signals.

- Multi-mode transceivers support more than one transmission protocol.
- a wireless handset may support CDMA, Global Standard for Mobile Communication (GSM), and an OFDM wireless local area network protocol.
- GSM Global Standard for Mobile Communication
- a wireless handset may support a variety of implementations of a particular transmission protocol. Since different communication systems may employ different parameters for designing multiple-access channels, the nature of interference between systems can vary greatly.
- a multi-mode transceiver may employ a wide variety of interference-mitigation strategies.
- a multi-mode transceiver may employ a single interference-mitigation technique adapted to each mode.
- Embodiments of the present invention provide for interference cancellation in a multi-mode receiver configured to operate in a variety of communication systems.
- An interference cancellation system may include a channel decomposition module, a baseband receiver, and an interference canceller.
- the interference canceller may include one or more signal processing components that are configurable for processing signals from different communication systems.
- the interference canceller may include one or more signal processors that are not configurable, but rather perform common operations for each of the multi-mode signals.
- Embodiments of the invention are applicable to a broad range of receivers in which an actual or virtual decomposition of received signals into Rake-like channels precedes interference cancellation.
- a first step may include obtaining channel estimates that identify and/or model multipath components. For example, time-domain or frequency-domain signals may be used to identify complex gains (including delays) for a plurality of multi path components.
- a filter having complex coefficients may be provided to synthesize multipath.
- An optional step may include extracting transmission-source information (such as source-specific scrambling codes) if transmissions from two or more sources are received.
- the channel estimates and initial symbol estimates of the transmitted signals may be used to synthesize at least one multi path component from at least one source.
- a canceller (such as a subtractive canceller or projection operator) may process the synthesized signal to remove one or more interference signals (e.g., multipaths from one or more sources) from one or more predetermined Rake fingers.
- the projection canceller may provide an optional signal-selection process to produce a linear combination of at least one interference-cancelled signal and at least one uncancelled signal, such as to produce a signal output having an SINR greater than (or at least equal to) the at least one uncancelled signal. Since the projection canceller may be located anywhere within the receiver chain, the synthesis step is configured in accordance with the location of the projection canceller.

- 1. Field of the Invention
- The invention generally relates to the field of signal processing for wireless communications. More specifically the invention is related to interference cancellation in single- and multi-mode communication systems.
- 2. Discussion of the Related Art
- In order to efficiently utilize time and frequency in a communication system, multiple-access schemes are used to specify how multiple users or multiple signals share a specified time and frequency allocation. Spread-spectrum techniques may be used to allow multiple users and/or signals to share the same frequency band and time interval simultaneously. Time division multiple access (TDMA) and frequency division multiple access (FDMA) assign unique time or frequency slots to the user. Code division multiple access (CDMA) assigns a unique code to differentiate each signal and/or user. The codes are typically designed to have minimal cross-correlation to mitigate interference. However, multipath effects introduce cross correlations between codes and cause CDMA systems to be interference-limited.
- Multiple-access coding specified by TDMA, FDMA, or CDMA standards provides channelization. In a typical CDMA wireless telephony system, a transmitter may transmit a plurality of signals in the same frequency band by using a combination of scrambling codes and/or spreading (i.e., orthogonalizing) codes. For example, each transmitter may be identified by a unique scrambling code or scrambling-code offset. For the purpose of the exemplary embodiments of the invention, scrambling may denote encoding data with a W-CDMA scrambling code or encoding data with short pseudo-noise (PN) sequences, such as used in CDMA2000 and IS-95 systems.
- A single transmitter may transmit a plurality of signals sharing the same scrambling code, but may distinguish between signals with a unique orthogonalizing spreading code. Spreading codes, as used herein, encode the signal and provide channelization of the signal. In W-CDMA, orthogonal variable spreading factor (OVSF) codes are used to spread data for multiple access. CDMA2000 and IS-95 employ Walsh covering codes for multiple-access spreading.
- While CDMA signaling has been useful in efficiently utilizing a given time-frequency band, multipath and other channel effects cause these coded signals to interfere with one another. For example, coded signals may interfere due to similarities in codes and consequent correlation. Loss of orthogonality between these signals results in interference, such as co-channel and cross-channel interference. Co-channel interference may include multipath interference from the same transmitter, wherein a transmitted signal propagates along multiple paths that arrive at a receiver at different times. Cross-channel interference may include interference caused by signal paths originating from other transmitters.
- Interference degrades communications by causing a receiver to incorrectly detect received transmissions, thus increasing a receiver's error floor. Interference may also have other deleterious effects on communications. For example, interference may diminish capacity of a communication system, decrease the region of coverage, and/or decrease data rates. For these reasons, a reduction in interference can improve reception of selected signals.
- Multipath and other forms of interference inherently limit the performance and capacity of other types of transmission protocols. For example, Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) and Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) may be interference-limited both in uplink and downlink communications.
- Multi-mode transceivers support more than one transmission protocol. For example, a wireless handset may support CDMA, Global Standard for Mobile Communication (GSM), and an OFDM wireless local area network protocol. Furthermore, a wireless handset may support a variety of implementations of a particular transmission protocol. Since different communication systems may employ different parameters for designing multiple-access channels, the nature of interference between systems can vary greatly. Thus, a multi-mode transceiver may employ a wide variety of interference-mitigation strategies. Alternatively, a multi-mode transceiver may employ a single interference-mitigation technique adapted to each mode.
- Embodiments of the present invention provide for interference cancellation in a multi-mode receiver configured to operate in a variety of communication systems. An interference cancellation system may include a channel decomposition module, a baseband receiver, and an interference canceller. The interference canceller may include one or more signal processing components that are configurable for processing signals from different communication systems. Furthermore, the interference canceller may include one or more signal processors that are not configurable, but rather perform common operations for each of the multi-mode signals.
- Although there are many benefits and applications with respect to particular embodiments of the invention, one notable benefit of at least some of the preferred embodiments is a higher received Signal-to-Interference-and-Noise-Ratio (SINR). Embodiments of the invention are applicable to a broad range of receivers in which an actual or virtual decomposition of received signals into Rake-like channels precedes interference cancellation.
- In one embodiment of the invention, similar steps are provided for processing signals in any of a variety of wireless transceiver chains. A first step may include obtaining channel estimates that identify and/or model multipath components. For example, time-domain or frequency-domain signals may be used to identify complex gains (including delays) for a plurality of multi path components. A filter having complex coefficients may be provided to synthesize multipath.
- An optional step may include extracting transmission-source information (such as source-specific scrambling codes) if transmissions from two or more sources are received. The channel estimates and initial symbol estimates of the transmitted signals may be used to synthesize at least one multi path component from at least one source. A canceller (such as a subtractive canceller or projection operator) may process the synthesized signal to remove one or more interference signals (e.g., multipaths from one or more sources) from one or more predetermined Rake fingers. The projection canceller may provide an optional signal-selection process to produce a linear combination of at least one interference-cancelled signal and at least one uncancelled signal, such as to produce a signal output having an SINR greater than (or at least equal to) the at least one uncancelled signal. Since the projection canceller may be located anywhere within the receiver chain, the synthesis step is configured in accordance with the location of the projection canceller.
- Embodiments of the invention may be employed in a multi-mode receiver configured to process multiple transmission protocols (e.g., CDMA, TDMA, OFDM, etc.). Embodiments disclosed herein may be advantageous in multi-mode receivers employing multiple variations, or modes, of CDMA (e.g., cdmaOne, cdma2000, 1xRTT, cdma 1xEV-DO, cdma 1xEV-DV, cdma2000 3×, W-CDMA, Broadband CDMA, Universal Mobile Telephone System (UMTS), and/or GPS). Embodiments disclosed herein may be advantageous to systems employing multiple modes of OFDM (e.g., IEEE 802.11 a/g/n, IEEE 802.16, IEEE 802.20, multi-band OFDM, spread-OFDM, MC-CDMA, frequency-hopped OFDM, and DMT). However, the invention is not intended to be limited to such systems.
- Receivers and cancellation systems described herein may be employed in subscriber-side devices (e.g., cellular handsets, wireless modems, and consumer premises equipment) and/or server-side devices (e.g., cellular base stations, wireless access points, wireless routers, wireless relays, and repeaters). Chipsets for subscriber-side and/or server-side devices may be configured to perform at least some of the receiver and/or cancellation functionality of the embodiments described herein.
- Although particular embodiments are described herein, many variations and permutations of these embodiments fall within the scope and spirit of the invention. Although some benefits and advantages of the preferred embodiments are mentioned, the scope of the invention is not intended to be limited to particular benefits, uses, or objectives. Rather, embodiments of the invention are intended to be broadly applicable to different wireless technologies, system configurations, networks, and transmission protocols, some of which are illustrated by way of example in the figures and in the following description of the preferred embodiments.

FIG. 1 illustrates one of many possible multi-mode receiver embodiments of the invention that include achannel decomposition module 101, abaseband receiver 102, and an interference canceller 103. Thebaseband receiver 102 and the interference canceller 103 are configured to process received signals transmitted in accordance with a first transmission protocol (i.e., a first mode). - The
baseband receiver 102 may be regarded as comprising anupstream baseband processor 121 and adownstream baseband processor 122. Baseband receiver components preceding (i.e., upstream from) the interference canceller 103 in the receiver chain may be referred to as components of theupstream baseband processor 121. Baseband receiver components following (i.e., downstream from) the interference canceller 103 may be referred to as components of thedownstream baseband processor 122. - Embodiments of the invention may provide for some flexibility in denoting which signal-processing modules belong to the
upstream baseband processor 121 and which are components of thedownstream baseband processor 122. A seconddownstream baseband processor 104 may optionally be included. Alternatively, the interference canceller 103 output may be coupled back to thedownstream baseband processor 122. - An output from the
upstream baseband processor 121 may be coupled to the interference canceller 103. Alternatively, the interference canceller 103 may be coupled between theupstream baseband processor 121 and thedownstream baseband processor 122. Coupling of the interference canceller 103 to thebaseband receiver 102 may denote which signal-processing modules are included in theupstream baseband processor 121, and consequently, which are included in thedownstream baseband processor 122. Theupstream baseband processor 121 may be configured to perform one or more baseband signal processing operations on a received baseband signal for producing an estimated information signal. The estimated information signal may include a data-symbol estimate, a code-chip estimate, or a sample estimate depending on where the interference canceller 103 is coupled to thebaseband receiver 102. - In a multi-mode receiver, the
baseband receiver 102 is configurable to process signals transmitted according to a second transmission protocol (i.e., a second mode). Thus, the interference canceller 103 may be similarly configurable for processing received signals according to the second transmission protocol. Thebaseband receiver 102 and the interference canceller 103 may be configured to process signals corresponding to additional transmission protocols, or modes. Furthermore, thebaseband receiver 102 and the interference canceller 103 may be configured to process signals corresponding to multiple variations, or modes, of a transmission protocol. - In an exemplary embodiment of the invention, the
baseband receiver 102 may comprise a Rake, an equalizer, and a means to select between the Rake and the equalizer to optimize signal processing. Thus, the term multi-mode may be used to express that at least one alternative signal-processing technique may be employed by a receiver for receiving a signal. - In an exemplary embodiment, the interference canceller 103 may include an
interference selector 111, asynthesizer 112, achannel emulator 113, an upstream baseband processor 114, and acancellation operator 115. Theinterference selector 111 may be coupled to the receive baseband processor and configured for selecting subchannels that are likely to contribute interference to at least one signal of interest. Theinterference selector 111 may produce at least one selected interference symbol. Thesynthesizer 112 is configured to generate a synthesized interference signal from at least one selected interference symbol. Thechannel emulator 113 is configured to produce an estimated interference signal from the synthesized interference signal. - The upstream baseband processor 114 may be coupled to the
channel emulator 113 and configured to produce an estimated received interference signal from the estimated interference signal. Alternatively, theupstream baseband processor 121 may be reused instead of employing a separate processor (i.e., the baseband processor 114). Both the received baseband signal and the estimated interference signal may undergo substantially identical signal-processing operations until they encounter thecanceller 115. Thus, the particular signal-processing operations performed by the downstream baseband processor 114 depend on where in thebaseband receiver 102 the interference cancellation is placed. - The
cancellation operator 115 may comprise a projection operator configured for orthogonally or obliquely projecting a signal in the baseband receiver onto an interference subspace of the estimated received interference. However, other types of cancellation, such as subtractive cancellation, may be performed. Some embodiments of the invention may provide for scale-invariant subtraction. Following cancellation, the interference-cancelled signal, an uncancelled signal, or a combination of the interference-cancelled and uncancelled signals may be selected for further processing. Any of various signal-quality measures, such as coherence or SINR, may be used in the selection process. The selected signal may be provided with further processing to produce hard-decision or soft-decision estimates of the data. Multiple soft-decision estimates may be combined via any of various combining techniques that are well known in the art, including Maximal Ratio Combining (MRC), Equal Gain Combining (EGC), Minimum Mean Squared Error Combining (MMSEC), Minimum Variance Unbiased Combining (MVUC), and Selection Combining - Each interference-cancellation system may include an output-signal selection module (not explicitly shown) configured to select between the resulting interference-cancelled signal and the uncanceled signal input to the interference-cancellation system. In some cases, interference cancellation may result in a less-desirable signal (e.g., a signal having a lower SINR) than the original signal input. Thus, it may be advantageous to select the signal having the highest SINR rather than assuming that interference cancellation always yields an improved signal. Alternatively, a linear combination of interference-cancelled and uncancelled signals may be produced.
- Various components of the interference canceller 103 may be adaptable for switching between a plurality of transmission protocols. For example, the
synthesizer 112 may perform signal-processing operations that are similar to those performed by a transmitter. Thus, thesynthesizer 112 may be configured to generate signals in accordance with two or more transmission protocols. Since different receiver baseband processing operations may be performed with respect to different transmission protocols, the upstream baseband processor 114 may be configurable for performing different signal-processing operations in accordance with the transmission protocol of the received signals. - The
projection operator 115 may be adaptable to different transmission protocols. Theprojection operator 115 processes in-phase (I) and quadrature phase (Q) samples, chips, or symbol vectors and/or matrices. However, the bit widths, chip periods, or vector or matrix sizes may vary with respect to the types of transmission protocol employed. Furthermore, any other components of the interference canceller 103 may be configurable to operate with respect to multiple transmission protocols. - The
channel emulator 113 may track signals detected by thechannel decomposition module 101 that are identified as strong sources and/or strong multipath components. In embodiments comprising Rake fingers, different Rake fingers may work together to receive a predetermined signal of interest. Alternatively, each Rake finger may process its own signal of interest. In one embodiment of the invention, thechannel emulator 113 may be configured to impart a delay to a synthesized signal in order to synchronize the synthesized signal with another component of the received baseband signal. - In an exemplary embodiment of the invention, the
baseband receiver 102 may comprise a Rake (not shown), an equalizer (not shown), and a means (not shown) for selecting between the Rake and the equalizer to optimize signal processing. Embodiments described herein may be subject to adaptations and permutations that fall within the spirit and scope of the claimed invention. In one embodiment of the invention, interference cancellation may be performed after Rake and/or equalization processing. In an alternative embodiment, interference cancellation may be provided prior to Rake and/or equalizer processing. - In one embodiment, at least one of a received baseband signal, an equalized received baseband signal, and a Rake-processed received baseband signal may be selected for interference cancellation. In another embodiment, at least one of an interference-cancelled signal and an uncancelled signal may be selected for further receiver processing following interference cancellation. In this case, the uncancelled signal may comprise at least one of an equalizer output and a Rake receiver output.

FIG. 2 illustrates a method embodiment of the invention configured to cancel interference at any of various points within a CDMA receiver. The figure demonstrates baseband processing employed in a CDMA system and is used for illustrative purposes. Those skilled in the art will recognize that other components, such as radio frequency (RF) processing components in the CDMA transceiver may be included. - A CDMA transmitter (not shown) typically formats data, and then performs Walsh coding (Wr), scrambling (P[n]), parallel-to-serial conversion (P/S), and pulse-shape filtering (G) prior to coupling into a communication channel represented by a channel operator (H) 212. A received signal coupled from the
communication channel 212 is processed by a receiver pulse-shaping filter (G ) 214 and then split into a plurality M of multipath signals from at least one source. A channel decomposition module, such as a Rake receiver that includes M Rake fingers, is configured to decompose the communication channel into a plurality of channel components (i.e., multipath signals). For any k ε {1, 2, . . . , K}, where K denotes the number of active subchannels or users, the outputs αk 1[n], . . . , αk M[n] of the Rake fingers 1 through Mat symbol period n are typically combined in order to increase the SNR of at least one signal of interest. - In one exemplary embodiment, each of the M Rake fingers includes a baseband receiver comprising a delay compensator (eST
m ) 216.1-216.M, a chip-rate sampler (J-) 218.1-218.M, a serial-to-parallel converter (S/P) 220.1-220.M, a descrambler (P [n]) 222.1-222.M, a demultiplexer (Wr H) 224.1-224.M, an optional channel compensator (H) (not shown), and a traffic Walsh selector (ek H) 226.1-226.M. The baseband receiver may be considered to include the receiver pulse-shaping filter (G ) 214. - During ordinary operation, a Rake finger (e.g., the first Rake finger) typically employs receiver-function blocks 216.1, 218.1, 220.1, 222.1, 224.1, and 226.1 to produce a first Rake-finger output ak [n] for Walsh channel k at symbol period n in Rake finger 1. Outputs from different Rake fingers (e.g., αk 1[n], . . . , αk M[n]) are typically combined in a maximal ratio combiner (not shown), which combines sub channel estimates for each multipath. Other types of optimal combiners may also be used for combining the outputs of the fingers, combining the outputs of multiple receiver antennas, and/or combining the outputs of fingers in multiple receiver antennas.
- In an exemplary embodiment of the invention, each demultiplexer 224.1-224.M may comprise a matrix Walsh operator for simultaneously despreading all subchannels, rather than a vector Walsh operator that is typically used for despreading only one user subchannel. Furthermore, embodiments of the invention provide for processing each multipath signal with additional receiver functions configured to perform interference cancellation. For example, each multipath signal may be processed with a plurality of projection operators, such as projection operators 240.1-240.M, 242.1-242.M, and 244.1-244.M located at various points along the Rake finger receive chain.
- The baseband receiver may be regarded as comprising an upstream baseband processor and a downstream baseband processor. Baseband receiver components preceding (i.e., upstream from) a particular one of the projection operators 240.1-240.M, 242.1-242.M, and 244.1-244.M in the receiver chain may be referred to as components of the upstream baseband processor. Baseband receiver components following (i.e., downstream from) a particular one of the projection operators 240.1-240.M, 242.1- 242.M, and 244.1-244.M in the receiver chain may be referred to as components of the downstream baseband processor.
- The projection operators 240.1-240.M, 242.1-242.M, and 244.1-244.M produce an interference-cancelled version of the multipath signal. The interference-cancelled signal or the uncancelled multipath signal may be inserted back into its corresponding Rake finger at the input to the downstream baseband processor. It should be noted that modules 240.1-240.M, 242.1-242.M, and 244.1-244.M may be replaced by subtractive interference cancellation operators. A multipath signal may also be coupled out of its respective Rake finger at any of a plurality of locations within the Rake finger for constructing the projection operators 240.1-240.M, 242.1-242.M, and/or 244.1-244.M.
- A plurality of interference selectors 228.1-228.M may be configured to identify and select one or more interfering (e.g., MAI) subchannels in each Rake finger's multipath signal. The output of each interference selector 228.1-228.M may comprise at least one interfering data symbol corresponding to at least one interfering sub channel. In an exemplary embodiment of the invention, interference selectors 228.1-228.M may receive the outputs of the projection operators 224.1-224.M, respectively. The projection-operator outputs are set to zero (or discarded) if they fail to meet a quality criterion, such as coherence and/or SINR. In an alternative embodiment, projection-operator outputs may be combined prior to being compared with a threshold. Thus, the interference selectors 228.1-228.M may be replaced by a single block configured to perform generalized MRC over subchannels and multipaths. In yet another embodiment, a linear combination of cancelled and uncancelled signals may be produced.
- In each multipath, the at least one interfering data symbol is re-modulated 204.1-204.M by its original sub channel (e.g., Walsh code), re-scrambled 206.1-206.M, and parallel-to-serial converted 208.1-208.M to produce a simulated transmit version of an interference signal in at least one particular multipath signal. Each synthesized interference signal is match-filtered 229.1-229.M prior to being delayed 230.1-230.M by an amount equal to the channel delay experienced by the interference signal when it arrived at its original Rake finger.
- The matched filters 229.1-229.M may comprise any interpolating filter that approximates the combined effects of a transmit filter G and receiver matched-filter
G . An exemplary embodiment may employ a linear interpolator to approximate composite effects of the transmitter, channel path, and receiver. An exemplary embodiment uses a raised-cosine pulse-shaping filter with the standard-specific roll-off factor for the transmit/receive filters. For embodiments that employ an equalizer, the interpolating filter may be expressed byG ĤG, where Ĥ denotes the equalizer function. The matched filters 229.1-229.M may be considered part of at least one of a set of signal processing operations, including synthesis, channel emulation, and a second upstream baseband processing operation. - After the delay 230.1-230.M, each interference signal is coupled to a different Rake finger. For example, selected interference signals originating from the first Rake finger are delayed by τ1 and coupled into the Mth Rake finger. Similarly, selected interference signals originating from the Mth Rake finger are delayed by τM and coupled into the first Rake finger. The couplings between the first and Mth Rake fingers are shown for illustrative purposes only. One skilled in the art will recognize that embodiments of the invention are intended to be configurable with respect to many different coupling schemes between a plurality of Rake fingers. When processing more than two paths, an additional combiner block (not shown) may be provided for combining all interference signals relative to a path of interest. For example, when processing interference signals relative to a first Rake finger, the outputs of the delays 230.2-230.M may be processed (e.g., combined) before coupling into the first Rake finger. A channel emulator may include the delays 232.1-232.M or the combination of delays 230.1-230.M and 232.1- 232.M.
- One or more selected interference signals for the Mth Rake finger may be coupled into projection operator 240.M, 242.M, and/or 244.M. In the case wherein projection operator 240.M is employed, the interference signals are coupled directly into the projection operator 240.M following delay 230.M. A second upstream baseband processor associated with the projection operator 240.M may include matched filter 229.M and/or delay 230.M. The projection operator 240.M may produce an interference-cancelled signal by projecting the first multipath signal onto a subspace that is substantially orthogonal to an interference subspace determined from the Mth Rake finger's selected interference signals. An alternative means for cancelling interference from the received baseband signal may be configured to perform any of various interference cancellation techniques, including variations of the projection techniques described herein, as well as other cancellation techniques that are well known in the art.
- A decision device 241.M may select either the interference-cancelled signal, the first multi path signal, or a linear combination thereof, by providing a comparison of the signals with respect to one or more signal quality measures. For example, the decision device 241.M may select a signal having the highest coherence or SINR. An output from the decision device 241.M is coupled back into the first finger at approximately the same location that the first multipath signal was diverted out of the first finger.
- In the case where the projection operator 242.M is employed, the interference signal is processed by a second upstream baseband processor comprising a delay compensator 232.M, a chip-rate sampler 234.M, a serial-to-parallel converter 236.M, and a descrambler 238.M prior to being coupled into the projection operator 242.M. Similarly, the first multipath signal is processed by the delay compensator 216.1, the chip-rate sampler 218.1, the serial-to-parallel converter 220.1, and the descrambler 222.1 prior to being diverted from the first Rake finger into the projection operator 242.M. The projection operator 242.M produces an interference-cancelled signal by projecting the processed first multipath signal onto a subspace that is substantially orthogonal to an interference subspace determined from the Mth Rake finger's selected interference signals. A decision device 243.M selects between the processed first multipath signal and the interference-cancelled signal produced by the projection operator 242.M. Alternatively, the decision device 243.M may produce a linear combination of an uncancelled signal and an interference-cancelled signal. The decision device 243.M couples its selection back into the first Rake finger at the demultiplexer 224.1.
- In the case wherein the projection operator 244.M is employed, the interference signal is processed by a second upstream baseband processor comprising delay compensator 232.M, chip-rate sampler 234.M, serial-to-parallel converter 236.M, descrambler 238.M, and a demultiplexer 239.M prior to being coupled into the projection operator 244.M. Similarly, the first multipath signal is processed by the demultiplexer 224.1 prior to being diverted from the first Rake finger into the projection operator 244.M. The projection operator 244.M produces an interference-cancelled signal by projecting the processed first multipath signal onto a subspace that is substantially orthogonal to an interference subspace determined from the Mth Rake finger's selected interference signals.
- In order to effectively cancel ISI and other interference, the projection operator 244.M may be configured to cancel interference from a sequence of symbol vectors, rather than just an instantaneous symbol vector. A decision device 245.M selects between the processed first multipath signal, the interference-cancelled signal produced by the projection operator 244.M, or a linear combination of the two. The decision device 245.M couples its selection back into the first Rake finger at the traffic Walsh channel selector 226.1. Channel compensation (not shown) may be provided prior to combining (not shown) with like Walsh channels from other finger outputs.
- Although
FIG. 2 illustrates transceiver-chain functionality with respect to a single source (e.g., a base station), the invention may be adapted to systems having multiple sources. Furthermore, since many receiver operations are commutative, the order of receiver operations may include alternative configurations. Selectors 226.1-226.M may be replaced by MRC combiners of raw signals (i.e., received baseband signals) and projection-cancelled signals. Various components shown herein may be consolidated into a single component. Similarly, certain components may be added and/or removed according to particular transceiver designs and communication protocols without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. - Exemplary embodiments of the invention may be configured to process time-division multiplexed signals, such as in a CDMA EV-DO system. For example, the data-formatting block 202 and the Walsh coder 204 may be configured to process multiple data streams. The symbol vector is time multiplexed prior to scrambling 206. EV-DO transmissions typically comprise a pilot, a MAC, and at least one traffic symbol sequence. The pilot is assigned Walsh Code 0, the preamble consists of bi-orthogonally modulated data, the MAC comprises symbols on a set of
- Walsh codes of length 64, and the traffic comprises symbols on all 16-length Walsh codes. Therefore, each projection operator 244.m and decision device 245.m may be configured to separately process each EV-DO channel (including traffic, MAC, and pilot channels) to provide separate projection and selection operations for sample-, chip-, or symbol-level cancellation.

FIG. 3A shows a transmitter part of a W-CDMA system employing open-loop transmit-diversity (OLTD). An exemplary embodiment of the invention is configured to operate in a W-CDMA system that uses Alamouti space-time coding with two transmit antennas to increase network capacity. However, embodiments described herein may be configured to operate in other types of multi-antenna systems designed for transmit and/or receive diversity. - A data source 301 provides multiple data symbols to primary and secondary transmit-diversity systems 331 and 332. Since the Alamouti scheme employs a 2×2 matrix coding technique, each of a pair of space-time (ST) encoders 303.1 and 303.2 is provided a pair of data symbols. Both space-time encoders 303.1 and 303.2 are typically provided with identical pairs of data symbols. Space-time coded symbols are coupled into Walsh encoders 304.1 and 304.2, which process all active user and common channels except pilot and control channels to produce a plurality of Walsh channels. Pilot-signal modules 305.1 and 305.2 provide the Walsh channels with P-CPICH and S-CPICH pilot channels, respectively. Gold-code scramblers 306.1 and 306.2 scramble the Walsh and pilot channels. Synchronizers 307.1 and 307.2 time-multiplex a synchronization channel (SCH) and a scrambled primary common control physical channel (P-CCPCH). The resulting time-multiplexed signal is added to signal outputs from the Gold-code scramblers 306.1 and 306.2, which are transmitted into a communication channel after processing by pulse shaping filters 308.1 and 308.2 and RF front-end processors (not shown).
- An exemplary channel model is illustrated wherein a primary transmit channel includes two multipath delays 309.11 and 309.12 and associated gains 339.11 and 339.12 having values h11 and h12, respectively. Similarly, a diversity channel includes two multipath delays 309.21 and 309.22 with associated gains 339.21 and 339.22 having values h21 and h22, respectively.
- A receiver shown in
FIG. 3B is configured to receive a signal according to the exemplary channel model. After RF processing (not shown), the resulting baseband signal is processed by areceiver filter 310 matched to the transmit filters 308.1 and 308.2. Each multipath component/diversity path may be processed in an associated Rake finger 341-344. Each finger 341-344 may include a delay compensator 311.1-311.4, a chip-rate sampler 312.1-312.4, a de-scrambler 313.1-313.4, a Walsh-Hadamard despreader (such as a fast Walsh transform) 314.1-314.4, an optional space-time decoder 315.1-315.4 (for processing diversity paths in the case wherein Alamouti space-time codes are employed), and a Walsh traffic-channel selector 316.1-316.4. The output from each finger 341-344 may be provided with channel compensation before being processed by anoptimal combiner 317.

FIG. 3C illustrates a receiver equipped to cancel interference in a signal received by a first Rake finger 341. A received baseband signal may be processed by a receiver matchedfilter 310 before undergoing channel decomposition, which separates the received baseband signal into multipath components that are processed by a plurality of Rake fingers. In this exemplary embodiment, an interference-cancellation module 323.1 (such as a projection canceller) is employed by the first finger 341. In alternative embodiments, interference cancellation may be performed for each of the plurality of Rake fingers. - A baseband receiver may include delay compensators 311.2-311.4, chip-rate samplers 312.2-312.4, descramblers 313.2-313.4, and FWTs 314.2-314.4. The baseband receiver also comprises components 311.1, 312.1, 313.1, 314.1, 315.1, and 316.1 of the first finger 341. The received baseband signal is coupled into the interference-cancellation module 323.1 that is upstream to Rake finger 341 processing. In this case, the receiver matched
filter 310 may be regarded as an upstream baseband processor, whereas the first finger 341 may be regarded a downstream baseband processor. - Signal outputs from the Walsh-Hadamard transforms 314.2-314.4 are coupled into a plurality of interference-selection blocks (e.g., MAI-selection blocks 320.2-320.4) configured to identify and select subchannels that are likely to contribute multiple-access interference to at least one signal of interest. In this particular embodiment, space-time decoding is not performed prior to interference synthesis. The outputs of the interference-selection blocks 320.2-320.4 are used by synthesizers 331.2, 332.1, and 332.2 to synthesize transmitted interference signals.
- Synthesizer 331.2 is functionally similar to the primary transmit-diversity system 331, and synthesizers 332.1 and 332.2 are functionally similar to the secondary transmit-diversity system 332.
- Signal outputs from the synthesizers 331.2, 332.1, and 332.2 are processed by channel emulators 329.12, 329.21, and 329.22, respectively, which compensate for delay induced by the multi path channel to produce estimated interference signals. A
combiner 321 produces a linear combination of the estimated interference signals. A second upstream baseband processor includes areceiver filter 322 matched to transmit filter 308.1 and/or 308.2. The estimated interference signal is filtered byfilter 322 before being coupled to the interference-cancellation module 323.1 along with the received baseband signal output fromfilter 310. Thefilters combiner 317 may receive inputs from one or more Rake fingers, such as finger 341. - In some embodiments of the invention, functional blocks may be combined. Other variations and permutations may be implemented without departing from the intended scope and spirit of the invention. Alternative embodiments may consolidate multiple transmit or receive elements into a single element. In some embodiments, interfering subchannels may be selected using optimally combined data. In such cases, space-time encoders may be included in the loop. Furthermore, channel gain compensation and emulation may be provided in the synthesis loop.
- A preferred embodiment of the invention may be configurable for a plurality of different communication formats employed in a multi-mode transceiver. For example, receiver and synthesizer components in an interference-cancellation system may adapt their signal processing operations depending on the type of transmission protocol employed.
FIG. 3C illustrates a case in which W-CDMA is employed. However, appropriate signal-processing modifications to some of the receiver components (e.g., 313.1-313.4, 314.1-314.4, and 331.2-331.4) may be made to adapt the signal processing to alternative transmission protocols. -
FIG. 4 illustrates how an embodiment of the present invention may be configured for a receiver in a system employing guard bands and cyclic prefixes, such as systems conforming to IEEE 802.16, 802.11b, and 802.11g standards. The receiver shown inFIG. 4 is configured to receive a transmission from acommunication channel 409 and process a received baseband signal with a baseband OFDM receiver. An upstream baseband processor includes a receiver pulse-shapingfilter 411 matched to a transmitter pulse-shaping filter (not shown). A downstream baseband processor includes a cyclic-prefix remover 412 for discarding a predetermined signal interval in each received symbol to mitigate ISI, a serial-to-parallel converter (S/P) 413, a Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) 414, and an optional sub channel equalizer (EQ) 415. - An interference selector 416 may employ statistical signal processing techniques to identify active subchannels and discard data symbol estimates corresponding to poor subcarrier-channel conditions. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the interference selector 416 may compare soft-decision symbol estimates for each subchannel to a set of thresholds including a lower threshold and an upper threshold. Symbols that do not fall within the two thresholds may be discarded to ensure that subchannels of interest are relatively free of the effects of fading and interference. In one embodiment, the thresholds may be determined via measured channel conditions and/or pilot-signal strength. In another embodiment, subchannels may be selected until a quality measure for interference cancellation is met.
- A physical channel estimator, such as a physical channel identification module 430, may be configured to process outputs from the
OFDM receiver apparatus 401 for providing an equivalent multipath profile. For example, the physical channel identification module 430 may process received preamble symbols or other received signals having known characteristics for determining the complex frequency response of the channel and/or an equivalent multipath profile. - Selected data symbols (and their associated sub channel information) are passed to a
synthesizer 402 configured to synthesize one or more selected interference signals. Thesynthesizer 402 essentially mimics a baseband transmitter. However, thesynthesizer 402 may employ a channel emulator (not shown) that uses the multipath profile produced by the physical channel identification module 430 to emulatechannel 409 distortions in the synthesized interference. An inverse FFT (IFFT) 417 and a parallel-to-serial converter (P/S) 418 produce a digital sequence corresponding to selected data symbols mapped onto predetermined frequency subchannels (i.e., subcarriers). A cyclic prefix may be added 419 to the digital sequence, which is then processed by a transmitter pulse-shapingfilter 420. A second upstream baseband processor includes a receiver pulse-shaping filter 421 for processing the synthesized interference. - Alternatively, a single interpolating filter (not shown) may be employed instead of
separate filters 420 and 421. - In one exemplary embodiment of the invention, an interference signal synthesized by the
synthesizer 402 and the received baseband signal are coupled to a plurality of receiver blocks (such as receiver block 403) wherein each receiver block is associated with a particular multipath delay. For example, M receiver blocks may be used for M identified strong multipath components. Each received baseband signal that is coupled into receiver block 403 is first sampled according to symbol boundaries corresponding to a particular multi path component identified by the physical channel identification module 430. - For each identified multipath component, one or more interfering subchannels may be removed from a signal of interest. A resulting interference-cancelled signal is demodulated, and demodulated signals from the plurality of receiver blocks may be combined in a coherent combiner 450. The combiner 450 may employ preamble symbol strengths on the subcarriers in each finger as a combining criterion.
- One or more interference-cancellation modules (such as projection modules 441-444) are provided for cancelling interference in the received baseband signal. In a first exemplary embodiment, the estimated interference and the received baseband signal are processed by
projection module 441. Theprojection module 441 may optionally provide channel emulation to the estimated interference prior to interference cancellation. - According to one embodiment of the invention, the received baseband signal may be sampled with respect to a multi path delay selected by the physical channel identification module 430. Similarly, the interference signal may be provided with channel emulation and sampled with the same delay as the received baseband signal. The received baseband signal and the interference signal are then coupled to the
projection module 441, which projects the interference substantially out of the received baseband signal. Theprojection module 441 may select as its output the resulting interference-cancelled signal, the received baseband signal, or a linear combination of the two. The selected output signal is processed by a cyclic-prefix remover 432, an S/P module 433, and anFFT 434 before being combined with other signals (e.g., interference-cancelled signals and/or received baseband signals) in the combiner 450. The cyclic-prefix remover 432, S/P module 433,FFT 434, and combiner 450 may be regarded as downstream baseband processing components. - In an alternative embodiment, the upstream baseband processor and the second upstream baseband processor include cyclic-
prefix removers 432 and 422, respectively. Following cyclic prefix removal, the estimated interference and the received baseband signal are coupled toprojection module 442. Theprojection module 442 may optionally provide the estimated interference signal with channel emulation prior to interference cancellation. The S/P module 433 and theFFT 434 process the projection module's 442 output (which may comprise either or both the received baseband signal with its cyclic prefix removed and an interference-cancelled signal produced by the projection module 442) prior to combining 450. The S/P module 433, theFFT 434, and the combiner 450 may be regarded as downstream baseband processing components. - In another embodiment, the upstream baseband processor comprises the cyclic-
prefix remover 432 and the S/P module 433, and the second upstream baseband processor comprises the cyclic-prefix remover 422 and the S/P module 423. TheFFT 434, and the combiner 450 may be regarded as downstream baseband processing components. Theprojection module 443 may optionally provide the interference signal with channel emulation prior to interference cancellation. The projection module's 443 output is then processed by theFFT 434 prior to combining 450. - In yet another embodiment of the invention, an upstream baseband processor comprising the cyclic-
prefix remover 432, the S/P module 433, and theFFT 434 prior tointerference cancellation 444 may process the received baseband signal. A baseband receiver comprising the cyclic-prefix remover 422, the S/P module 423, and the FFT 424 may process the estimated interference. - In one embodiment, the output of the interference selector 416 may optionally be coupled directly to the
projection module 444 instead of being processed by thesynthesizer 402 and receiver components 422-424. Such processing may be performed, for example, when the multipath delay is some integer multiple of the chip period oversampling factor multiplied by the inverse of the sampling rate, or equivalently, an integer multiple of the data-symbol duration divided by the FFT length. Thus, signal-processing parameters (such as the sampling rate and the FFT length) may be adapted in response to measured multipath profiles in order to simplify the receiver system and/or improve receiver performance. - Similar simplifications may be used to eliminate components shown herein when cancellation is performed downstream in the receiver chain. The output of the
projection module 444 may be sent directly to the combiner 450. The output of the combiner 450 is typically followed by additional baseband processing modules (not shown), including deinterleaving, despreading, descrambling, and channel decoding. - In an exemplary embodiment of the invention, interference estimates from a first multipath signal may be used to cancel interference in a received baseband signal processed with respect to a second multipath signal. For example, a projection operator configured to project out interference in a first multipath component of a received baseband signal may use interference estimates determined from one or more multipath components other than the first component.
- Embodiments of the invention may be useful for reducing the cyclic prefix or guard interval used in multi carrier systems. Some embodiments may be used for mitigating inter-channel interference due to Doppler shifts in Doppler-spread channels. Receiver embodiments may also find utility in exploiting transmitted energy in the cyclic prefix of a conventional multicarrier signal. While symbol-level cancellation is well known for mitigating ISI in an
- OFDM system, some embodiments of the present invention provide for chip- or sample-level cancellation. The term “sample level” denotes that multiple time-domain samples per chip are processed in a canceller.

FIG. 5 shows an embodiment of the invention adapted to cancel interference in a receiver configured to process signals in a GSM system. In GSM, co-channel interference arises when adjacent base stations use the same frequency subchannel to transmit to subscribers. In an exemplary embodiment, transmitted data symbols α1 and α2 intended for different users are transmitted in the same subchannel by adjacent base stations. The transmissions corresponding to α1 and α2 undergo different channel effects, which are represented by channel blocks H1 and H2, respectively. - Signals received by an interference receiver 501 are down-converted into received baseband signals. The interference receiver 501 is configured to select one or more interference signals that may interfere with at least one signal of interest. In this case, symbol α1 is a symbol of interest and symbol α2 is an interfering symbol. The interference receiver 501 demodulates the selected interference symbol H2α2, which is coupled to a
transmission synthesizer 502. - The interference receiver 501 may be configured to determine channel information from known training sequences in the transmission. For example, mid-ambles (which are typically used in GSM transmissions) may be correlated with training sequence codes (TSC) to obtain channel information. A GSM user may be assigned one of eight possible TSCs.
- In one embodiment of the invention, the interference receiver 501 may comprise an advanced receiver capable of suppressing multipath interference. The receivers 501 and/or 503 may optionally exploit spectral inefficiencies of transmissions employing real constellations (e.g., GMSK, PAM, BPSK) by combining the real and imaginary channels, each of which is modulated with the same real symbol. Methods and architectures for providing first-order estimates of the signal are well known in the art and may be used for interference detection as well. For example, one may use equalizers and pre-whitening filters for accurate first-order estimates. However, the complexity of such filters may be reduced if only a coarse first-order estimate is required.
- The
transmission synthesizer 502 GMSK modulates and pulse shapes the selected interference. Thetransmission synthesizer 502 may optionally include a channel emulator (not shown). Synthesized signals produced by thetransmission synthesizer 502, as well as the received baseband signal, are coupled into acancellation receiver 503. Thecancellation receiver 503 may be configured to orthogonally or obliquely project the received baseband signal onto a subspace corresponding to the selected interference. Either an interference-cancelled signal produced by thecancellation receiver 503 or the uncancelled signal (i.e., the received baseband signal) may be selected based on measured SINR or some other signal-quality parameter. Alternatively, thecancellation receiver 503 may output a linear combination of the interference-cancelled signal and the uncancelled signal. The projection canceller may be replaced by a subtractive canceller. - The method and system embodiments described herein merely illustrate particular embodiments of the invention.
