Abstract

A base station ( 10 ) of a radio-operated telecommunications system is described, which is provided with a receiver for processing received information ( 11 ) and with at least one digital signal processor ( 12 ) for performing a symbol rate processing ( 14 ). The signal processor ( 12 ) is suitable for and provided for likewise performing at least parts of a chip rate processing ( 13 ).

Claims (24)

1. A base station of a radio-operated telecommunications system comprising:

a receiver processing received information; and

one or more digital signal processors, wherein each of said digital signal processors is configured to perform a symbol rate processing and at least parts of a chip rate processing.

2. The base station as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the signal processor is also configured to perform a task allocation for controlling the chip rate processing and the symbol rate processing.

3. The base station as claimed in claim 1 , the signal processor being designed such that firstly the chip rate processing and then the symbol rate processing can be performed.

4. The base station as claimed in claim 1 , wherein an array or group of digital signal processors is provided.

5. The base station as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the chip rate processing and the symbol rate processing can be distributed between sub-arrays or sub-groups of signal processors.

6. The base station as claimed in claim 1 , wherein at least one memory is provided which is suitable for and provided for the intermediate storage of the received information.

7. The base station as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the chip rate processing comprises a despreading of the received information and wherein the signal processor is configured to dispread the received information.

8. The base station as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the symbol rate processing comprises a decoding of the received information.

9. The base station according to claim 1 , wherein each of said digital signal processors is configured to perform the symbol rate processing comprising decoding the received information and at least said parts of the chip rate processing comprising despreading the received information.

10. The base station according to claim 9 , wherein said despreading comprises separating the received information based on sources of the received information and assigning the separated received information to a respective source.

11. A receiver for a base station of a radio-operated telecommunications system for processing received information with one or more digital signal processors, wherein each of said digital signal processors is configured for performing a symbol rate processing and at least parts of a chip rate processing.

12. A digital signal processor configured to execute symbol rate processing for a receiver of a base station of a radio-operated telecommunications system, wherein the signal processor is configured to perform at least parts of a chip rate processing.

13. A radio-operated telecommunications system comprising at least one of:

a base station having one or more digital signal processors, wherein each of the digital signal processors is configured to perform a symbol rate processing and at least parts of a chip rate processing;

a receiver processing received information having said one or more digital signal processors; and

said one or more digital processors.

14. The telecommunication system according to claim 13 , wherein the telecommunication system is a code division multiple access (CDMA) telecommunications system.

15. A process for operating a radio-operated telecommunications system, wherein information received by a base station is subjected to a symbol rate processing by one or more digital signal processors, wherein at least a part of the chip rate processing is performed by same processor from the digital signal processors.

16. The process as claimed in claim 15 , wherein firstly the chip rate processing and then the symbol rate processing is performed.

17. The process as claimed in claim 15 , wherein a task allocation for controlling the chip rate processing and the symbol rate processing is performed by the at least one signal processor.

18. The process as claimed in claim 15 , wherein an array or group of digital signal processors is provided, the chip rate processing and the symbol rate processing is distributed between sub-arrays or sub-groups of signal processors.

19. The process as claimed in claim 18 , wherein the distribution of the array or group of signal processors between the chip rate processing and the symbol rate processing is performed by the task allocation.
