ABSTRACT:
A practical way to enhance signal quality (carrier to interference. C/I) in both up and downlink of wireless point to multi-point CDMA service implements basic radio direction finding techniques to allow for optimal diversity combining in an antenna array employing large number of elements. This approach is facilitated through the use of very small bit counts arithmetic and capitalizing on finite alphabet signal structure (Walsh symbols, for example in IS-95 CDMA) or a known training sequence. Alternate implementations can use floating point data representations. The method facilitates ASIC implementation, thereby enabling distributed processing to achieve the required computation practicality. The method utilizes the uplink channel data to determine the downlink spatial structure (array beams) to enhance downlink C/I and hence, increase downlink capacity. The preferred embodiment is optimized to IS-95 , however, any signal that has either a finite alphabet or a training sequence built in can utilize the same idea. The use of the known signal structure facilitates simple array response vector determination and eliminates the necessity for covariance matrix calculation and analysis. Hence, this approach can be utilized for GSM and TDMA wireless air-interfaces as well.
