Abstract

A device and method for cancelling code interference in a receiver of a CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) communication system simultaneously using orthogonal codes and quasi-orthogonal codes are provided. In a receiver according to an embodiment of the present invention, a channel estimator (210) produces a channel estimation value of a pilot channel signal spread by an orthogonal code (216) through despreading (214). A quasi-orthogonal channel receiver (222, 224, 228, 268, 298) receives a channel signal spread by a quasi-orthogonal code, despreads (220) the channel signal, demodulates (204) the despread channel signal by use of the channel estimation value, and provides an output. An interference estimator (310) estimates an interference value of the pilot channel signal with the channel signal spread by the quasi-orthogonal code by obtaining a correlation value between the orthogonal code corresponding to a pilot channel and the quasi-orthogonal code corresponding to a quasi-orthogonal channel. An interference canceller (320) cancels the estimated interference from the output of the quasi-orthogonal channel receiver.

Description

DEVICE AND METHOD FOR CANCELLING CODE INTERFERENCE IN A CDMA COMMUNICATION SYSTEM
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a device and method for cancelling code interference in a CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) communication system, and more particularly, to device and method for cancelling mutual interference between orthogonal codes and quasi-orthogonal codes (QOCs) in a CDMA communication system where the orthogonal codes coexist with the quasi- orthogonal codes for channelization.
2. Description of the Related Art
In a CDMA communication system, orthogonal codes provide orthogonal channelization among all code channels, and the maximum number of available code channels is determined by the length of the longest orthogonal code. Walsh codes are typical orthogonal codes used in a CDMA system, and thus any reference to orthogonal codes herein below refers to Walsh codes. If an orthogonal channel with orthogonality is assigned as dedicated to a transmitter/receiver from a call setup to a call release, the number of available channels becomes limited and channels may not be available for assignment to every subscriber. To allow all subscribers to use the CDMA system, quasi-orthogonal codes are used due to their minimal loss of orthogonality relative to other codes, even though they lack full orthogonality.
A quasi-orthogonal code is generated by EX-ORing the longest orthogonal code used in the system with a quasi-orthogonal code mask as long as the longest orthogonal code in order to minimize orthogonality loss.

Basic orthogonal codes are defined as orthogonal codes EX-ORed with the quasi-orthogonal code masks to generate quasi-orthogonal codes and to indicate Walsh codes. The Walsh codes may be from different layers of different lengths only if they ensure orthogonal channelization among code channels. However, to make the best use of the correlation characteristics as given by Table 1 , it is preferable that the lowest-layer Walsh codes or longest Walsh codes be used as the basic orthogonal codes. Herein, the length of the basic orthogonal codes is defined as L.
FIG. 1 is a schematic block diagram of a transmitter in a CDMA communications system using the above quasi-orthogonal codes. Referring to FIG. 1. reference numerals 140 and 170 denote typical channel encoders and interleavers. Signal mappers 1 12, 142, and 172 change 0s and I s of input data to signal levels + 1 s and - I s, respectively. Demultiplexers 144 and 174 separate traffic channel data into I-channel data and Q-channel data for QPSK (Quadrature Phase Shift Keying) transmission. The demultiplexers 144 and 174 may be serial-to-parallel converters (SPCs). In the case of BPSK (Binary Phase Shift Keying) modulation of the traffic channel data, the demultiplexers 144 and 174 are omitted and data is sent on an I channel and a Q channel.
A Walsh code symbol W #0 generator 1 16 generates a Walsh code symbol W #0 as being a basic orthogonal code to spread a pilot channel. The pilot channel is used for channel estimation in a receiver. A mixer 1 18 multiplies the output of the Walsh code symbol W #0 generator 1 16 by the output of the signal mapper 112 for orthogonal spreading of the pilot channel signal, and feeds the orthogonally spread pilot channel signal to an adder 162. A Walsh code symbol W #A generator 146 generates a Walsh code symbol W #A as being a basic orthogonal code. Mixers 148 and 158 multiply the output of the Walsh code symbol W #A generator 146 by I channel data and Q channel data received from the demultiplexer 144 to produce a spread signal. Gain controllers 150 and 160 control the relative gain of a traffic channel relative to the pilot channel.
A Walsh code symbol W #a generator 176 generates a Walsh code symbol
W #a as being a basic orthogonal code. A quasi-orthogonal code mask M #m generator 186 generates a quasi-orthogonal code mask used to generate a quasi- orthogonal code from a basic orthogonal code. Mixers 178 and 188 multiply the outputs of the Walsh code symbol W #a generator 176 and the quasi-orthogonal code mask M #m generator 186, thereby producing a quasi-orthogonal code symbol Q[m] #a which belongs to a quasi-orthogonal code Q[m] and spreads the quasi- orthogonal code symbol Q[m] by multiplying the quasi-orthogonal code symbol Q[m] by the I channel and Q channel data received from the demultiplexer 174. Gain controllers 180 and 190 control the relative gain of the traffic channel spread by a quasi-orthogonal code relative to the pilot channel. Adders 162 and 192 add the I channel signals and Q channel signals, respectively, and output S_I[n] and S_Q[n]. A PN (Pseudo Noise) code generator 120generates two PN sequences PN_l[n] and PN_Q[n] for complex PN spreading. A complex PN spreader 130 performs the following complex PN spreading on the outputs of the adders 162 and 192 with the output of the PN code generator 120.
(S_I[n]+jS_Q[n])(PN_I[n]+jPN_Q[n])

The I channel signal (S_I[n] PN_I[n]-S_Q[n] PN_Q[n]) and the Q channel signal (S_I[n] PN_Q[n]+S_Q[n] PN_I[n]) of the complex PN spread signal are applied to the inputs of low pass filters (LPFs) 164 and 194, respectively. Amplifiers 166 and 196 adjust the magnitude of a transmit signal to an intended level. A carrier generator 122 generates a carrier needed to upconvert the frequency of the transmit signal to a high frequency. A 90° phase shifter 124 produces a 90°- phase difference between the I channel and the Q channel. Mixers 168 and 192 multiply the outputs of the amplifies 166 and 196 by the carrier for modulation of the transmit signal. An adder 126 adds the modulated I channel and Q channel signals and a transmission antenna 128 transmits the output of the adder 126.

A carrier generator 222 generates a carrier necessary to downconvert the frequency of the received signal to a baseband frequency. A 90° phase shifter 224 produces a 90° -phase difference between an I channel and a Q channel. Mixers 268 and 298 multiply the received signal by the carrier for demodulation, and LPFs 264 and 294 remove high frequency components generated during the demodulation and pass only baseband signals. Generally, a plurality of paths exist in which a signal transmitted from a transmitter can reach a receiver in the mobile radio environment. However, a signal reception mechanism is identical for each path.
Accordingly, a description of a signal reception mechanism will herein be described with reference to one path.
A PN (Pseudo Noise) code generator 220 generates PN sequences PN_I[n] and PN_Q[n] which are synchronized with the received signal through demodulation. A complex PN despreader 230 computes the low-pass-filtered signals and the PN sequences by the following arithmetic procedure:

A channel estimator 210 performs a channel estimation for each path using a pilot channel spread by a Walsh code symbol W #0. A Walsh code symbol W #0 generator 216 generates the Walsh code symbol W #0. A mixer 214 complex- multiplies the output of the complex PN despreader 230 by the output of the Walsh code symbol W #0 generator 216. An accumulator 212 accumulates the output of the mixer 214 for every predetermined time period to extract a channel estimation value. For this purpose, the accumulator 212 can be replaced with an LPF. The channel estimation value is used to demodulate a traffic channel. The traffic channel data is obtained by multiplying the output of the complex PN despreader 230 by a quasi-orthogonal code symbol Q[m] #a for the traffic channel.
A mixer 254 multiplies the output of a Walsh code symbol W #a generator 276 by the output of a quasi-orthogonal code mask M #m generator 286 to produce the quasi-orthogonal code symbol Q[m] #a, and then multiplies the quasi- orthogonal code symbol Q[m] #a by the output of the complex PN despreader 230. An accumulator 252 accumulates the output of the mixer 254 in data symbol units. A delay 250 delays the output of the accumulator 252 by the time required for the channel estimation in the channel estimator 210. A complex conjugator 206 generates the complex conjugate of the channel estimation value received from the channel estimator 210, for demodulation. A mixer 204 produces a demodulated signal by multiplying the complex conjugate of the channel estimation value by the output of the delay 250.
A combiner 202 combines demodulated multipath signals through the above reception mechanism. A deinterleaver and channel decoder 200 deinterleaves and channel decodes the output of the combiner 202.
The above conventional receiver experiences orthogonality loss between channels due to the coexistence of orthogonal codes with quasi-orthogonal codes. Accordingly, it is impossible to reduce mutual interference between the orthogonal codes and the quasi-orthogonal codes.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

To achieve the above objects, a receiver is provided in a CDMA communication system which simultaneously uses orthogonal codes and quasi- orthogonal codes. In a receiver according to an embodiment of the present invention, a channel estimator produces a channel estimation value of a pilot channel signal spread by an orthogonal code through despeading.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
Preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the attached drawings. Like reference numerals denote the same components in the drawings.
A receiver in the present invention cancels interference between orthogonal codes and quasi-orthogonal codes in a CDMA communication system by simultaneously using the orthogonal codes and the quasi-orthogonal codes. With the same transmit power for all transmitters in the CDMA system, reception quality can be improved, and maintained by reducing the transmit powers of the transmitters.
FIG. 3 is a block diagram of a receiver for cancelling interference of a pilot channel spread by an orthogonal code with a traffic channel spread by a quasi- orthogonal code according to a first embodiment of the present invention.
As described in the Background of the Invention section, the reception antenna 228 receives a modulated signal from a transmitter. The carrier generator 222 generates a carrier necessary to downconvert the frequency of the received signal to a baseband frequency. The 90° phase shifter 224 produces a 90°-phase difference between an I channel and a Q channel. The mixers 268 and 298 multiply the received signal by the carrier for demodulation, and the LPFs 264 and 294 remove high frequency components generated during the demodulation and pass only baseband signals.
Generally, a plurality of paths exist in which a signal transmitted from a transmitter can reach a receiver in the mobile radio environment. However, a signal reception mechanism is identical for each path.
Accordingly, a description of a signal reception mechanism will herein be described with reference to one path.
The PN code generator 220 generates PN sequences PN_I[n] and PN_Q[n] which are synchronized with the received signal through demodulation. The complex PN despreader 230 compute the low-pass-filtered signals and the PN sequences by the following arithmetic procedure:
(S_I[n] PN_I[n]-S_Q[n] PN_Q[n]) + j(S_I[n] PN_Q[n]+S_Q[n] PN_I[n]) (PN [n]+jPN_Q[n]) - (SJ[n]+jS_Q[n]) (PN [n]+jPN_Q[n]) (PN_I[n]+jPN_Q[n]) = S_I[n]+jS_Q[n]
The channel estimator 210 performs a channel estimation for each path using a pilot channel spread by a Walsh code symbol W #0. The Walsh code symbol W 5 #0 generator 216 generates the Walsh code symbol W #0. The mixer 214 complex- multiplies the output of the complex PN despreader 230 by the output of the Walsh code symbol W #0 generator 216. The accumulator 212 accumulates the output of the mixer 214 for every predetermined time period to extract a channel estimation value. For this purpose, the accumulator 212 can be replaced with an LPF. The 10 channel estimation value is used to demodulate a traffic channel. The traffic channel data is obtained by multiplying the output of the complex PN despreader 230 by a quasi-orthogonal code symbol Q[m] #a for the traffic channel.
The mixer 254 multiplies the output of the Walsh code symbol W #a generator 276 by the output of the quasi-orthogonal code mask M #m generator 286
15 to produce the quasi-orthogonal code symbol Q[m] #a, and then multiplies the quasi-orthogonal code symbol Q[m] #a by the output of the complex PN despreader 230. The accumulator 252 accumulates the output of the mixer 254 in data symbol units. The delay 250 delays the output of the accumulator 252 by the time required for the channel estimation in the channel estimator 210. The complex conjugator
20 206 generates the complex conjugate of the channel estimation value received from the channel estimator 210, for demodulation. The mixer 204 produces a demodulated signal by multiplying the complex conjugate of the channel estimation value by the output of the delay 250.
A mixer 310 produces the square of the channel estimation value by 25 multiplying the channel estimation value by the complex conjugate, to obtain the energy of the channel estimation value. The mixer 310 multiplies the product of the channel estimation and the complex conjugate by -C™α where C a is a correlation value between the Walsh code symbol W #0 and the quasi-orthogonal code symbol Q[m] #a. The output of the mixer 310 is an interference component of the channel using the Walsh code symbol W #0 with the traffic channel using the quasi- orthogonal code symbol Q[m] #a.
An adder 320 removes the estimated value of the interference from the demodulated traffic channel signal received from the mixer 204. Therefore, the adder 320 functions to cancel the interference of the pilot channel spread by the Walsh code symbol W #0 with the traffic channel spread by the quasi-orthogonal code symbol Q[m] #a, and an interference-free signal is applied to the input of a combiner 202.
The combiner 202 combines demodulated multipath signals through the above reception mechanism. A deinterleaver and channel decoder 200 deinterleaves and channel decodes the output of the combiner 202.
As described above, the mixer 310 multiplies the channel estimation value by its complex conjugate to produce the square of the channel estimation value output from the channel estimator 210 and then by - ^α , where CQ Ω is defined as follows:
Equation 1:
Figure imgf000016_0001
Then, the adder 320 removes the estimated value of the interference of the channel with the traffic channel from the demodulated traffic channel signal. The interference-free signal is input to the combiner 202 as in the prior art. In accordance with the first embodiment of the present invention, the receiver as shown in FIG. 3 estimates the interference of the channel with the channel using a quasi-orthogonal code and then cancels the estimated interference from the channel using the demodulated quasi-orthogonal code.
The receiver performs the overall procedure except for the above interference cancellation in the same manner as the receiver of FIG. 2.
FIG. 4 is a block diagram of a receiver for cancelling interference of a pilot channel spread by an orthogonal code with a traffic channel spread by a quasi- orthogonal code according to a second embodiment of the present invention. The receiver of FIG. 4 is the same as that of FIG.3 in structure and operation, except that the former includes a device 410 for deriving the square of a channel estimation value directly from the channel estimation value.
FIG. 5 is a block diagram of a receiver for cancelling interference of a channel spread by an orthogonal code with a traffic channel spread by a quasi- orthogonal code according to a third embodiment of the present invention. A description of the receiver shown in FIG. 5 will be given mainly regarding the cancellation of interference of the orthogonal code using the channel with the quasi- orthogonal code using the traffic channel. A description of the general operation of the receiver is omitted.
A fast Hadamard transformer 530 computes the output of the complex PN despreader 230 according to the following equation: Equation 2: w„ 0,0 w, ,0 w
Wn w 1,1 " i-1,1
(d0,d],- - -,dL_:) = (r0,r],- - -rL_ )
Wn • • •
0,1- 1 1. .-1 jy 1,-1,1-1
In the CDMA communication system, all of the basic orthogonal codes as defined by Equation 2 are not used. Hence, an output of the fast Hadamard transformer 530 for input of a Walsh code symbol which is not in use is induced from noise. This noise component has a smaller value than a Walsh code symbol in use. Therefore, a decider 520 compares the output of the fast Hadamard transformer 530 with a predetermined value θ and decides the former to be noise if the former is smaller than the latter. If the Walsh code symbol is smaller than the predetermined value θ, the value of the Walsh code symbol is determined to be zero, to thereby reduce the influence of the noise (if d( < 0 ,
Figure imgf000018_0001
Then, an operator 510 multiplies a vector of the output of the decider 520 by a vector of the product of (- 1 ) and a correlation value between the quasi-orthogonal code Q[m] #a for the traffic channel and its corresponding Walsh code using Equation 3:
Equation 3:
Figure imgf000018_0002
where m is a quasi-orthogonal code mask number, is a basic orthogonal code used to generate a quasi-orthogonal code, and L is the length of an orthogonal code.
The mixer 310 multiplies the complex conjugate of a channel estimation value received from the complex conjugator 206 by the output of the operator 510. The output of the mixer is an estimated interference value of a plurality of orthogonal code channels with a quasi-orthogonal code channel. Then, the adder 320 cancels the interference of the Walsh code using the channel with the quasi- orthogonal code using the traffic channel by adding the output of the mixer 310 and the demodulated traffic channel signal received from the mixer 204. The interference-free quasi-orthogonal code using the traffic channel signal is then applied to the input of the combiner 202.
FIG. 6 is a block diagram of a receiver for cancelling interference of a channel spread by a quasi-orthogonal code with a traffic channel spread by a Walsh code according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention.
The quasi-orthogonal code mask generator 286 of FIG. 5 is absent in the receiver of FIG. 6, which is intended to receive information of the Walsh code using the traffic channel. A fast Hadamard transformer 630 computes the output of the complex PN despreader 230 according to Equation 4:
Equation 4 :
Figure imgf000019_0001
As described with respect to FIG. 5, all of the quasi-orthogonal codes as defined in Equation 4 are not used by the CDMA communication system. Hence, an output of the fast Hadamard transformer 630 for input of a Walsh code symbol which is not in use is induced from noise. This noise component has a smaller value than a quasi-orthogonal code symbol in use. Therefore, a decider 620 compares the output of the fast Hadamard transformer 630 with a predetermined value θ and decides the former to be noise if the former is smaller than the latter. If the quasi-orthogonal code symbol is smaller than the predetermined value θ, the value of the quasi-orthogonal code symbol is determined to be zero, to thereby
reduce the influence of the noise (if d™ < 0 , d™ = 0 ).
Then, an operator 610 multiplies a vector of the output of the decider 620 by a vector of the product of (- 1) and a correlation value between a Walsh code symbol W # for the traffic channel and its corresponding quasi-orthogonal code using Equation 5:
Equation 5:
Figure imgf000020_0001
A plurality of quasi-orthogonal codes can be produced from one basic orthogonal code by use of different quasi-orthogonal code masks. The quasi- orthogonal codes can be used together with their respective corresponding orthogonal code in the system. If a plurality of quasi-orthogonal codes are used, the number of the above receiver mechanisms increases proportionally with the number of quasi-orthogonal code masks used. In this case, an adder 640 sums the products of (- 1 ) and estimated interference values of quasi-orthogonal code using channels with the traffic channel using the Walsh code symbol W #A. The mixer 310 multiplies the complex conjugate of the channel estimation value received from the complex conjugator 206 by the output of the adder 640. Here, the output of the mixer 310 is an interference component of channels using quasi-orthogonal codes with their corresponding channel using an orthogonal code. Then, the adder 320 cancels the interference of the quasi-orthogonal code using channel with the Walsh code symbol W #A using traffic channel by adding the output of the mixer 310 and the demodulated traffic channel signal received from the mixer 204. The interference-free traffic channel signal is then applied to the input of the combiner 202.
As described above, the receiver of the present invention detects interference of an orthogonal code with a quasi-orthogonal code or vice versa, which is caused by orthogonality loss among channels and removes the interference from a corresponding channel in a CDMA communication system where orthogonal codes coexist with quasi-orthogonal codes. Thus, with the same transmit power for all transmitters, a better reception quality can be obtained at the receiver. Further, the same reception quality can be achieved by reducing the transmit power of a transmitter.
While the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the specific embodiments, they are mere exemplary applications. Thus, it is to be clearly understood that many variations can be made by anyone skilled in the art within the scope and spirit of the present invention as defined by the claims.
