    Abstract: An apparatus can include transceiver circuitry to receive an input signal from a target apparatus. The apparatus can further include a processing circuitry to determine position information of a source object and a target object. Based on the position information, the processing circuitry can calculate a relative velocity and determine a Doppler shift or carrier frequency offset in the input signal based on the relative velocity. The processing circuitry can adjust a local oscillator frequency based on a Doppler measured using the position information in an initial link acquisition phase. The processing circuitry can track the Doppler continuously over a range of tens of gigahertz accounting for Doppler phase ambiguities, and correct for a tracked Doppler shift by partially adjusting a local oscillator frequency and by correcting a residual Doppler shift digitally.

    Abstract: Bayesian Inference based communication receiver employs Markov-Chain Monte-Carlo (MCMC) sampling for performing several of the main receiver functionalities. The channel estimator estimates the multipath channel coefficients corresponding to a signal received with fading. The symbol demodulator demodulates the received signal according to a QAM constellation, so as to generate a demodulated signal, and estimate the transmitted symbols. The decoder reliably decodes the demodulated signals to generate an output bit sequence, factoring in redundancy induced at a certain code rate. A universal sampler may be configured to use MCMC sampling for generating estimates of channel coefficients, transmitted symbols or decoder bits, for aforementioned functionalities, respectively. The samples may then be used in one or more of the receiver tasks: channel estimation, signal demodulation, and decoding, which leads to a more scalable, reusable, power/area efficient receiver.
