Systems (100) and methods for co-channel separation of communication signals. The methods involve: simultaneously receiving a plurality of communication signals transmitted at disparate relative Doppler frequencies from different locations within a multi-access system; performing matched filtering operations to pre-process each of the plurality of communication signals so as to generate pre-processed digitized samples using a priori information contained in pre-ambles (302, 304) of messages present within the plurality of communication signals; using estimated signal parameters to detect the plurality of communication signals from the pre-processed digitized samples; and demodulating the plurality of communication signals without using a Viterbi decoder.

A sphere decoder based turbo equalizer is described. A method comprises assorting in a first vector Quadrature Amplitude Modulation,QAM,symbols on a particular tree level based on first distance properties, assorting in a second vector QAM symbols on the particular tree level based on second distance properties, selecting the QAM symbol with the minimum second distance property in the second vector, wherein said selecting comprises labeling the selected QAM symbol as protected, identifying the selected QAM symbol in the first vector assorted by distance properties, pruning the first vector by eliminating all QAM symbols having a larger first distance property compared to the selected QAM symbol, wherein said pruning is restricted to QAM symbols not being labeled as protected, and repeating the steps d-e selecting the QAM symbol with the next minimum second distance property.
摘要:
A communication device is configured adaptively to process a receive signal based on noise that may have adversely affected the signal during transition via communication channel. The device may be configured to identify those portions of the signal of the signal that are noise-affected (e.g., noise-affected sub-carriers of an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) signal), or the device may receive information that identifies those portions of the signal that are noise-affected from one or more other devices. The device may be configured to perform the modulation processing of the received signal to generate log-likelihood ratios (LLRs) for use in decoding the signal. Those LLRs associated with noise-affected portions of the signal are handled differently than LLRs associated with portions of the signal that are not noise-affected. The LLRs may be scaled based on signal to noise ratio(s) (SNR(s)) associated with the signal (e.g., based on background noise, burst noise, etc.).
