A method for power estimation in DS-CDMA schemes employing non-coherent detection is disclosed. By buffering channel complex amplitudes and, subsequent to non-coherent detection of a received symbol, coherently averaging the complex amplitudes retrieved, an accurate power estimate is achieved. By further estimating the Doppler frequency in an alternate embodiment, an even better estimate can be achieved. The amplitude of the channel can be regarded as constant over a longer time period than merely one symbol and the coherent averaging generates more accurate power estimates than that achieved by non-coherent averaging. By estimating the Doppler frequency and only averaging coherently over a period no longer than the coherence time an even better estimate is achieved. The variance of the estimates is decreased and the effect of biasing is increasingly limited.

L'invention concerne un procédé de calcul de puissance au moyen d'une logique AMCR à séquence directe utilisant une détection non cohérente. Pour faire un calcul précis de la puissance, on met les amplitudes complexes du canal en mémoire tampon, et on calcule de manière cohérente la moyenne des amplitudes complexes récupérées, ceci, après détection non cohérente d'un symbole reçu. Pour obtenir une mesure encore plus précise, on effectue un nouveau calcul de la fréquence Doppler selon une autre réalisation. L'amplitude du canal peut être considérée comme constante sur une période plus longue que celle d'un simple symbole, le calcul cohérent de la moyenne générant des mesures de puissance plus précises que celles obtenues par le calcul non cohérent de la moyenne. Pour obtenir une mesure encore plus précise, on calcule la fréquence Doppler et la moyenne uniquement de manière cohérente sur une période ne dépassant pas la période de cohérence. En faisant baisser la variance des résultats obtenus, on limite de plus en plus l'effet de la polarisation.
