Abstract
A method and system for processing multiple instances of data using noise energy based gain control is described. A signal is transmitted from a base station and is received along with associated noise energy by a subscriber unit. The non-orthogonal noise energy associated with a signal transmitted to a subscriber unit is measured, and the gain of that signal is adjusted such that the non-orthogonal noise energy is set to a predetermined level. If multiple instances of the signal are received by the subscriber unit, the signals are isolated and the non-orthogonal noise associated with each signal is measured separately. In the preferred embodiment the non-orthogonal noise measurement is performed by demodulation of a low energy channel within a forward link signal processed in accordance with code division multiple access signal processing techniques. A reference value is then divided by the result of this demodulation to calculate a control signal which is used to adjust the gain of a signal associated with a second, higher energy, channel within the forward link signal. The reference value may generated via the use of stored information, or via measurement of another signal that …
