## Title
Single user detection base station

## Abstract

A code division multiple access base station is used in receiving a plurality of data signals over a shared spectrum. Each received data signal experiences a similar channel response. A combined signal of the received data signals is received over a shared spectrum. The combined signal is sampled at a multiple of the chip rate. A channel response is estimated. A first element of a spread data vector is determined using the combined signal samples and the estimated channel response. A factor from the first element determination is used to determine remaining elements of the spread data vector. Data of the data signals is estimated using the determined elements of the spread data vector.

## Background
This application is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/052,943, Nov. 7, 2001, which claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 60/246,947, filed on Nov. 9, 2000, which applications are incorporated herein by reference.


BACKGROUND
The invention generally relates to wireless communication systems. In particular, the invention relates to data detection in a wireless communication system.
FIG. 1 is an illustration of a wireless communication system 10. The communication system 10 has base stations 121 to 125 (12) which communicate with user equipments (UEs) 141 to 143 (14). Each base station 12 has an associated operational area, where it communicates with UEs 14 in its operational area.
In some communication systems, such as code division multiple access (CDMA) and time division duplex using code division multiple access (TDD/CDMA), multiple communications are sent over the same frequency spectrum. These communications are differentiated by their channelization codes. To more efficiently use the frequency spectrum, TDD/CDMA communication systems use repeating frames divided into time slots for communication. A communication sent in such a system will have one or multiple associated codes and time slots assigned to it. The use of one code in one time slot is referred to as a resource unit.
Since multiple communications may be sent in the same frequency spectrum and at the same time, a receiver in such a system must distinguish between the multiple communications. One approach to detecting such signals is multiuser detection. In multiuser detection, signals associated with all the UEs 14, users, are detected simultaneously. Approaches for implementing multiuser detection include block linear equalization based joint detection (BLE-JD) using a Cholesky or an approximate Cholesky decomposition. These approaches have a high complexity. The high complexity leads to increased power consumption, which at the UE 141 results in reduced battery life. Accordingly, it is desirable to have alternate approaches to detecting received data.
SUMMARY
A code division multiple access base station is used in receiving a plurality of data signals over a shared spectrum. Each received data signal experiences a similar channel response. A combined signal of the received data signals is received over a shared spectrum. The combined signal is sampled at a multiple of the chip rate. A channel response is estimated. A first element of a spread data vector is determined using the combined signal samples and the estimated channel response. A factor from the first element determination is used to determine remaining elements of the spread data vector. Data of the data signals is estimated using the determined elements of the spread data vector.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT(S)
FIG. 2 illustrates a simplified transmitter 26 and receiver 28 using single user detection (SUD) in a TDD/CDMA communication system, although the single user detection approaches are applicable to other systems, such as frequency division duplex (FDD) CDMA. In a typical system, a transmitter 26 is in each UE 14 and multiple transmitting circuits 26 sending multiple communications are in each base station 12. The SUD receiver 28 may be at a base station 12, UEs 14 or both. SUD is typically used to detect data in a single or multicode transmission from a particular transmitter. When all the signals are sent from the same transmitter, each of the individual channel code signals in the multicode transmission experience the same channel impulse response. SUD is particularly useful in the downlink, where all transmissions originate from a base station antenna or antenna array. It is also useful in the uplink, where a single user monopolizes a timeslot with a single code or multicode transmission.
The transmitter 26 sends data over a wireless radio channel 30. A data generator 32 in the transmitter 26 generates data to be communicated to the receiver 28. A modulation/spreading sequence insertion device 34 spreads the data and makes the spread reference data time-multiplexed with a midamble training sequence in the appropriate assigned time slot and codes for spreading the data, producing a communication burst or bursts.
A typical communication burst 16 has a midamble 20, a guard period 18 and two data bursts 22, 24, as shown in FIG. 3. The midamble 20 separates the two data fields 22, 24 and the guard period 18 separates the communication bursts to allow for the difference in arrival times of bursts transmitted from different transmitters 26. The two data bursts 22, 24 contain the communication burst's data.
The communication burst(s) are modulated by a modulator 36 to radio frequency (RF). An antenna 38 radiates the RF signal through the wireless radio channel 30 to an antenna 40 of the receiver 28. The type of modulation used for the transmitted communication can be any of those known to those skilled in the art, such as quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK) or M-ary quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM).
The antenna 40 of the receiver 28 receives various radio frequency signals. The received signals are demodulated by a demodulator 42 to produce a baseband signal. The baseband signal is sampled by a sampling device 43, such as one or multiple analog to digital converters, at the chip rate or a multiple of the chip rate of the transmitted bursts. The samples are processed, such as by a channel estimation device 44 and a SUD device 46, in the time slot and with the appropriate codes assigned to the received bursts. The channel estimation device 44 uses the midamble training sequence component in the baseband samples to provide channel information, such as channel impulse responses. The channel impulse responses can be viewed as a matrix, H. The channel information is used by the SUD device 46 to estimate the transmitted data of the received communication bursts as soft symbols.
The SUD device 46 uses the channel information provided by the channel estimation device 44 and the known spreading codes used by the transmitter 26 to estimate the data of the desired received communication burst(s). Although SUD is explained using the third generation partnership project (3GPP) universal terrestrial radio access (UTRA) TDD system as the underlying communication system, it is applicable to other systems. That system is a direct sequence wideband CDMA (W-CDMA) system, where the uplink and downlink transmissions are confined to mutually exclusive time slots.
The receiver 28 receives using its antenna 40 a total of K bursts that arrive simultaneously, 48. The K bursts are superimposed on top of each other in one observation interval. For the 3GPP UTRA TDD system, each data field of a time slot corresponds to one observation interval.
For one observation interval, the data detection problem is viewed as per Equation 1.

r=H·d+n  Equation 1

r is the received samples. H is the channel response matrix. d is the spread data vector. The spread data matrix contains the data transmitted in each channel mixed with that channel's spreading code.

When the received signal is oversampled, multiple samples of each transmitted chip are produced resulting in received vectors, r1, . . . , rN, (48). Similarly, the channel estimation device 44 determines the channel responses, H1, . . . , HN, corresponding to the received vectors, r1, . . . , rN, (50). For twice the chip rate, Equation 1 becomes Equation 2.

r1 is the even samples (at the chip rate) and r2 is the odd samples (offset half a chip from the r1 samples). H1 is the channel response for the even samples and H2 is the channel response for the odd samples.

r1,r2 . . . rN are the multiple of the chip rate samples. Each offset by 1/N of a chip. H1, H2 . . . HN are the corresponding channel responses. Although the following discussion focuses on a receiver sampling at twice the chip rate, the same approaches are applicable to any multiple of the chip rate.

For twice the chip rate sampling, matrices H1 and H2 are (NS+W−1) by NS in size. NS is the number of spread chips transmitted in the observation interval and W is the length of the channel impulse response, such as 57 chips in length. Since the received signal has NS spread chips, the length of r1 and r2 is NS. Equation 2 is rewritten as Equation 4.

r1(i), r2(i), h1(i) and h2(i) is the ith element of the corresponding vector matrix r1, r2, H1 and H2, respectively.

One approach to determine the spread data vector is extended forward substitution, which is explained in conjunction with FIG. 4. For extended forward substitution, the received data vector is rearranged so that each even sample is followed by its corresponding odd sample. A similar rearrangement is performed on the channel response matrix, as shown in Equation 5a.

After the spread data vector is determined, each communication burst's data is determined by despreading, such as by mixing the spread data vector with each burst's code, (56).

The complexity in using the extended forward substitution approach, excluding despreading, is summarized in Table 1.

For a TDD burst type II, NS is 1104 and W is 57, solving for d using extended forward substitution 200 times per second requires 99.9016 million real operations per second (MROPS) for twice the chip rate sampling or 49.95 MROPs for chip rate sampling.
Another approach to estimate data is an approximate banded Cholesky approach, which is explained in conjunction with FIG. 5. A cross correlation matrix R is determined so that it is square, (NS by NS), and banded per Equation 11, (58).

R=HHH  Equation 11

(.)H indicates the hermetian function. H is of size 2(NS+W−1) by NS. Equation 11 is rewritten as Equation 12a for twice the chip rate sampling.

In general, the bandwidth of R is per Equation 14.

p=W−1  Equation 14

Using an approximate Cholesky approach, a sub-block of R, Rsub, of size Ncol by Ncol is used. A typical size of Rsub is 2W−1 by 2W−1, although other sized matrices may be used. The sub-block, Rsub, is decomposed using Cholesky decomposition per Equation 15, (60).

Rsub=GGH  Equation 15

The Cholesky factor G is of size Ncol by Ncol. An illustration of a 5×5 G matrix with W=3 is per Equation 16.

The spread data vector is determined using forward and backward substitution, (64). Forward substitution is used to determine y per Equation 18a for twice the chip rate sampling and Equation 18b for a multiple N of the chip rate sampling.

Gfully=H1Hr1+H2Hr2  Equation 18a

Gfully=H1Hr1+H2Hr2+ . . . +HNHrN  Equation 18b

Backward substitution is subsequently used to solve for the spread data vector per Equation 19.

GfullHd=y  Equation 19

After the spread data vector, d, is determined, each burst's data is determined by despreading, (66).
The complexity of approximate Cholesky decomposition, excluding despreading, for twice the chip rate sampling is per Table 2.

For a TDD burst type II, NS is 1104 and for W is 57, performing approximate banded Cholesky 200 times per second at twice the chip rate requires 272.56 MROPS. By contrast, an exact banded Cholesky approach requires 906.92 MROPS. For chip rate sampling, the approximate banded Cholesky approach requires 221.5 MROPS.
Another approach for data detection uses a Toeplitz approach, (Levinson-Durbin type algorithm), which is explained in conjunction with FIG. 6. The R matrix of Equation 12a and 12b is reproduced here.

The number of non-zero elements in the vector R6 is equal to the bandwidth, p, of the matrix R. When the inner product of R6HE6y(k) in Equation 27 and the inner product R6HE6d(k) in Equation 30 are calculated, only p (and not k) multiplications are required. For a the recursions of Equations 26 and 29, no computational reductions are obtained.
Table 3 shows the complexity in implementing the Toeplitz approach.

The total MROPs for the Toeplitz approach for a TDD burst type is 909.4656 MROPs for twice chip rate sampling and 858.4668 MROPs for chip rate sampling.

Another approach for data detection uses fast fourier transforms (FFTs), which is explained using FIG. 7. If chip rate sampling is used, the channel matrix H is square except for edge effects. Using a circulant approximation for the H matrix, a FFT of the received vector, r, and the channel vector, H, to obtain the data estimate is used.
For a multiple of the chip rate sampling, such as twice the chip rate, the H matrix is not square or circulant. However, a submatrix, shown by dotted lines, of the channel correlation matrix R=HH H matrix of Equation 13, (84), as shown for Equation 35a is circulant.

(R)1 is the first column of the R matrix expanded to a diagonal matrix. Although described using the first column, this approach can be modified to use any column of the R matrix, (86). However, it is preferred to use a column having the most non-zero elements of any column, such as R2, R1, R0, R1, R2. These columns are typically any column at least W columns from both sides, such as any column between and including W and NS−W−1. Equations 38 and 39 are used in a zero-forcing equalization approach.

(.)1 is the first column, although an analogous equation can be used for any column of R. F(.) denotes a fourier transform function. F(HHr) is preferably calculated using FFTs per Equation 45b.

F(HHr)=Nc[F(h1)F(r1)+ . . . +F(hN)F(rN )]  Equation 45b

Taking the inverse fourier transform F−1(.), of the result of Equation 45a produces the spread data vector, (88). The transmitted data can be recovered by despreading using the appropriate codes, (90).

The complexity of this FFT approach is shown in Table 4.

The FFT approach is less complex than the other approaches. However, a performance degradation results from the circulant approximation.
Another approach to use FFTs to solve for the data vector for a multiple of the chip rate sampling combines the samples by weighing, as explained using FIG. 8. To illustrate for twice the chip rate sampling, r1 is the even and r2 is the odd samples. Each element of r1, such as a first element r1(0), is weighted and combined with a corresponding element of r2, such as r2(0) per Equation 46.

reff(0)=W1r1(0)+W2r2(0)  Equation 46

reff(0) is the effectively combined element of an effectively combined matrix, reff. W1 and W2 are weights. For N-times the chip rate sampling, Equation 47 is used.

reff(0)=W1r1(0)+ . . . +Wnrn(0)  Equation 47

Analogous weighting of the channel response matrices, H1 to Hn, is performed to produce Heff, (92). As a result, Equation 3 becomes Equation 48.

reff=Heffd+n  Equation 48

The resulting system is an NS by NS system of equations readily solvable by FFTs per Equation 49, (94).

Using the inverse fourier transform, the spread data vector is determined. The bursts' data is determined by despreading the spread data vector using the bursts' code, (96). Although Equation 49 uses the first column of Heff, the approach can be modified to use any representative column of, Heff.
Another approach using FFTs uses zero padding, which is explained using FIG. 9. Equation 5 is modified by zero padding the data vector so that every other element, such as the even elements are zero, (98). The modified d matrix is d ̃. The H matrix is also expanded to form H ̃. H matrix is expanded by repeating each column to the right of that column and shifting each element down one row and zero padding the top of the shifted column. An illustration of such a system for twice the chip rate sampling, W=3 and NS=4 is per Equation 49a.

A column other than the first column may be used in an analogous FFT. Furthermore, since any column may be used, a column from the original channel response matrix, H or an estimated expanded column of the H ̃ derived from a column of H. Using every Nth value from d ̃, d is estimated. Using the appropriate codes, d is despread to recover the data, (102).
