    摘要: A multiple access slotted wireless communication system comprising a plurality of terminals and a multi-access receiver is described. The multi-access receiver can decode multiple transmissions in each slot of a frame from terminals in its field of view. Each terminal has an active state for transmitting and an inactive state. After receiving acknowledgement of a successful transmission by the terminal, the terminal enters the inactive state for at least a transmission delay time. This may be the remaining time that the terminal is in the field of view of the multi-access receiver. This may be achieved by the terminal using a probability of transmission to determine whether or not to transmit in the next frame. The terminal may also be configured to select the slot in a frame, and this may be based upon information such as which slots were acknowledged. The receiver may use compression to transmit acknowledgement messages.

    摘要: The invention relates to method and apparatus for improving the performance of communication systems using Run Length Limited (RLL) messages such as the existing Automatic Identification System (AIS). A binary data sequence is Forward Error Correction (FEC) coded and then the sequence is compensated, for example by bit-erasure, so that either bit-stuffing is not required, or a bit stuffer will not be activated to ensure that the coded sequence meets the RLL requirement. Various embodiments are described to handle different architectures or input points for the FEC encoder and bit erasure module. The bit erasure module may also add dummy bits to ensure a RLL compliant CRC or to selectively add bits to a reserve buffer to compensate for later bit stuffing in a header. Additional RLL training sequences may also be added to assist in, receiver acquisition.

    摘要: The invention is an iterative signal processing arrangement having one or more pairs of first and second signal processing components. These pairs are in iterative configuration with each of the first signal processing components having as its input one or more received signals dependent upon one or more transmitted signals. For each said signal processing component pair the output of said first signal processing component is an estimate of a characteristic of a selected transmitted signal based on the current and one or more previous input signals received by said first signal processing component. This estimate is input to said corresponding second signal processing component which provides a further estimate of said selected transmitted signal. The outputs of all said second components of respective pairs are input to their corresponding first components in a succeeding iteration cycle.

    摘要: A multiuser communication system comprises multiple transmitters and a multiuser receiver that detects multiple transmissions via iterative soft interference cancellation. An initial acquisition module and single user decoder module are also described. The multiuser receiver acquires and subtracts known users in the residual signal before acquiring new users in the residual signal, which is performed iteratively until no new users are detected or a stopping criterion is met. To aid receiver acquisition, the transmitters insert discrete tones into the transmitted signals. These allow the multiuser receiver to obtain initial estimates of the frequency, time, gain, and/or phase offset for each user. To improve the quality of cancellation the receiver refines estimates of gain, time, frequency and phase offsets for each user after each iteration, and calculates time varying SINR estimates for each user. The multiuser receiver may be satellite based, may be a distributed receiver, or process users in parallel.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus for use in communication systems using recursive modulation schemes with a Low Density Generator Matrix code (including an irregular repeat accumulate (IRA) code) are described that have reduced complexity and thus reduced cost compared to prior art systems. A communication system is described in which the transmitter concatenates a low density generator matrix code with an accumulator followed by a recursive modulator in order to eliminate the use of an interleaver, and in which the receiver combines the decoder for the accumulator and the soft demodulator into a single joint decoder in order reduce the number of components and complexity. Another variation is also described in which the transmitter is further simplified by eliminated the accumulator altogether, and in which the receiver is further simplified by replacing the joint decoder with a soft demodulator prior to the LDGM soft decoder.

    摘要: A communication system for sending small data message is disclosed in which a user node receives data from a remote application program which is sent as a message to a central application program executing on a central hub. The user nodes sends the message to an access node using a first radio interface and the access nodes forward the message to a gateway node which relays the message to the hub over a second radio interface. The system also includes composite nodes which either implement access node and gateway node functionality, or switch operational modes between access nodes and gateway node functions. The mode switching can be triggered based on proximity to access nodes, or by instructions from a hub. The gateway nodes can implement a message storage function, and can be implemented as software defined radios.

    摘要: Methods and systems are described which provide solutions for determining how to allocate terminals to slots in order to maximize communication system performance in the case where there is no feedback channel between a multiuser satellite receiver and terminals within the field of view. Terminals operate independently of each other and choose transmission slots based upon the geographic position of the terminal. Terminals can be programmed with a slot selector to choose slots according to some deterministic or non deterministic function of the current position. A slot plan database may be used to assist in efficient slot selection. Regular and irregular grid based allocation methods are described, that reduce the likelihood that too many terminals transmit using the same slot within the field of view. Satellite induced Doppler effects can be utilized be further increase slot re-use and to improve allocation of slots so that the receiver sees an approximately uniform distribution of frequencies over the frequency band to improve system throughput. The approaches described herein greatly reduce or eliminate the probability of failure at the receiver, which has numerous implementation advantages such as reduced cost, complexity, and power consumption.
