Method of determining an acquisition indicator bit in a communication system
View Patent ↗A method of determining an acquisition indicator bit AI s at a receiver in a communication system which includes receiving multiplexed acquisition indicator bits y=B×AI+n, where B is the signature matrix known at both base station and the receiver, AI is all the acquisition indicator bits and n represents noise. Next, an estimated value of the acquisition indicator bit AÎ ML (s) as a function of ∑ j B T ( s , j ) × y ( j ) is calculated, where B T (s,.) is the s-th row vector of the transposed matrix B T for acquisition indicator bit AI s . Finally, the acquisition indicator bit AI s is set as follows: AI s =−1, if AÎ ML ( s )< R AI s =0, if R≦AÎ ML ( s )< U AI s =1, if AÎ ML ( s )≧ U, where R and U are decision thresholds.
