摘要:
In one embodiment, a timing-offset estimator calculates a correlation value for each sample of an OFDM signal having a cyclic prefix for each OFDM symbol. The correlation value is provided to a tapped delay line that applies a separate weight to each of 2V correlation values, where V is the length of the cyclic prefix and the weights are based on a triangular weighting scheme that increases linearly from the first value, peaks at the Vth value, and decreases linearly to the 2Vth value. A stream of combined, squared correlation values is generated by combining and squaring the 2V weighted correlation values for each sample of the OFDM signal. For each cyclic prefix of the OFDM signal, a timing-offset estimate is determined based on a detected peak value in the stream of combined, squared correlation values. A timing-offset estimator with triangular weighting scheme may be implemented using recursive processing.

Methods and apparatus are disclosed for processing received data in a multiple input multiple output (MIMO) communication system. A multiple antenna receiver can distinguish a MIMO transmission from other transmissions based on the detection of a predefined symbol following a legacy portion of a preamble. A preamble comprises a legacy portion and an extended portion. The legacy portion is comprised of a first long preamble followed by a first signal field and may be processed by both multiple antenna receivers and legacy receivers. The extended portion comprises the predefined symbol following the first signal field from the legacy portion. If the predefined symbol is a second long preamble, a MIMO transmission is detected by performing a correlation on the preamble to detect the second long preamble. If the predefined symbol is a second long signal field, a MIMO transmission is detected by performing a cyclic redundancy check to detect the second long signal field.

In one embodiment, the present invention generates a single rotation angle that may be used to maximize diversity of a quasi-orthogonal space-time block code that encodes groups of four data symbols. Two rotation angles corresponding the first two data symbols in a group are set to zero, and two rotation angles corresponding to the second two data symbols in a group are set to a single initial value. A codeword distance matrix is determined for each possible combination of codewords and erroneously decoded codewords that may be generated using the initial rotation angle, and the minimum of the determinants of these matrices is selected. This process is repeated to generate a plurality of minimum determinants, and, for each iteration, a different single rotation angle corresponding to the second two data symbols is used. Then, a single rotation angle is selected that corresponds to the maximum of the minimum determinants.

Methods and apparatus are provided for communicating data in a multiple antenna communication system having N transmit antennas. According to one aspect of the invention, a header format includes a legacy preamble having at least one legacy long training field and an extended portion having at least N additional long training fields on each of the N transmit antennas. The N additional long training fields may be tone interleaved across the N transmit antennas and are used for MIMO channel estimation. The extended portion may include a short training field for power estimation. The short training field may be tone interleaved across the N transmit antennas and have an extended duration to support beam steering.

Methods and apparatus are provided for improved efficiency in an extended multiple antenna communication system. A multiplier is employed on the number of points in the FFT that is greater than the multiplier on the frequency (bandwidth) of the legacy 802.11 a/g system. In one exemplary implementation, a 256 point FFT is employed in 40 MHz (with a 4N multiplier on the number of possible tones and a 2N multiplier on the frequency). While the efficiency for the OFDM symbol is improved, additional overhead is required in the preamble training (the length of the preamble is proportional to the number of tones in the FFT). Thus, a number of preamble constructs are provided that couple the improved efficiency with shorter preambles. In addition, an improved tone design provides additional efficiency gains.

Electronic devices may be provided that contain wireless communication circuitry. The wireless communication circuitry may include radio-frequency transceiver circuitry coupled to antennas. An electronic device may include a baseband processor and other storage and processing circuitry that implements protocol stacks for handling multiple radio access technologies. The storage and processing circuitry may use the transceiver circuitry to convey data using a first radio access technology while periodically interrupting the conveying of the data to monitor a paging channel using a second radio access technology. In performing the paging channel monitoring operations, the storage and processing circuitry may enforce a time limit that ensures that operations using the first radio access technology are not disrupted more than desired.
