Channel fluctuation values on propagation paths of modulated signals transmitted from a plurality of antennas are estimated, an eigenvalue of a channel fluctuation matrix created with the above-mentioned channel fluctuation values as elements is found in order to relate antenna received signals to modulated signals, and using that eigenvalue, receiving antenna selection, combining of modulated signals, and weighting processing on soft decision decoded values, are performed, and modulated signals are demodulated. By this means, it is possible to perform demodulation processing based on the effective reception power of a modulated signal (that is to say, the essential reception power, of the reception power obtained by a receiving apparatus, that can be effectively used when demodulating a modulated signal), enabling the precision of demodulation of modulated signals to be improved.

Also, the actual method of optimizing the receiver performance is novel compared to the prior art in that the gain settings and the baseband filter order (stages to be used) will be optimized based on the nature of the interference as determined by the power detector measurements.

Принадлежит: Qualcomm Inc

A wireless terminal determines the transmission power used for its dedicated control channel at a point in time, and generates a power report indicating a ratio of a maximum wireless terminal transmit power to the transmit power of the dedicated control channel at the point in time. The power report provides a measure of available transmit power for wireless terminal use for other purposes, e.g., uplink traffic channels, after taking into consideration the transmit power used for the dedicated control channel. The point in time has a known time offset from the start of a communications segment in which the power report is transmitted. This allows the base station receiving dedicated control channel uplink signals from the wireless terminal to measure the received signals, receive and process the communicated power report, and correlate information to be used for accurate wireless terminal closed loop power control.
