摘要:
The invention proposes a way of inserting an analog test signal during normal reception into analog blocks of an OFDM receiver in such a way that the reception is either not corrupted at all, or only very little. This is achieved either by inserting the analog test signal in time or frequency where it does not corrupt the received signal, or by accounting for the interfering analog test signal in the decoding process.

Methods for calculating a delay spread estimate in an OFDM-receiver are described, along with computer program products and electronic apparatuses for performing the methods. The methods comprise determining a position of an FFT-window in relation to one or more OFDM-symbols of a received OFDM-signal and using the determined position to obtain a first OFDM-symbol from the received OFDM-signal. An FFT is applied to the first OFDM-symbol to produce an FFT-output signal. A frequency dependent phase rotation component of the FFT-output signal is determined and removed from the FFT-output signal. A number of zero-crossings of at least one of a real component and an imaginary component of a transfer function of a channel, over which the received OFDM-signal has been transmitted, derived from the FFT-output signal where the frequency dependent phase rotation component has been removed is determined, and a delay spread estimate is calculated based on the determined number of zero-crossings.

A first transceiver is operated in a first frequency band in the presence of a second transceiver operating in a second frequency band. Operation includes ascertaining an interference level at the first transceiver due to the second transceiver. A coexistence strategy for the second transceiver is dynamically selected by selecting a frequency division strategy if the ascertained interference level is less than a threshold level and selecting a time division strategy if the ascertained interference level is above the threshold level. The second transceiver is then caused to operate in accordance with the dynamically selected coexistence strategy.

An arrangement for estimating IQ-imbalance of a received OFDM-signal is disclosed. The arrangement comprises an FFT-unit (410) adapted to transform the received OFDM-signal to a frequency domain. The frequency domain comprises a plurality of sub-carrier frequencies, and the transformed received OFDM-signal comprises pilot symbols on one or more sub-carrier frequencies and symbols other than pilot symbols on one or more other sub-carrier frequencies. The arrangement also comprises channel estimation circuitry (430, 445), and an IQ-imbalance estimation unit (440) adapted to estimate the IQ-imbalance based on at least one of the pilot symbols, a determined estimated channel value for the sub-carrier frequency of the at least one pilot symbol, an estimate of the transmitted information symbol on the corresponding mirror sub-carrier frequency associated with the at least one pilot symbol and an estimated channel value for the corresponding mirror sub-carrier frequency associated with the at least one pilot symbol. Wherein the corresponding mirror sub-carrier frequency comprises a symbol other than a pilot symbol. A corresponding method and a computer program product are also disclosed.

A method and apparatus for compensation of noise in a received signal includes receiving a received signal comprised of a sum of a transmitted signal and a disturbance signal in a demodulator, summing the received signal and a compensation signal to produce a demodulation signal, determining a transmitted symbol based upon the demodulation signal, determining an error signal by calculating a difference between the demodulation signal and the determined transmitted symbol, and determining the compensation signal from the error signal using a model-based disturbance suppression control process. In at least one embodiment, the model-based disturbance suppression control process is a linear disturbance model control process.

Methods for positioning an FFT-window in an OFDM-receiver are disclosed as well as electronic apparatuses and computer program products for performing the methods. The method comprises determining a position of the FFT-window in relation to one or more OFDM-symbols of a received OFDM-signal, using the position of the FFT-window to obtain a first OFDM-symbol from the received OFDM-signal, and applying an FFT to the first OFDM-symbol to produce an FFT-output signal. The method also comprises determining a frequency dependent phase rotation component of the FFT-output signal, and removing the determined frequency dependent phase rotation component from the FFT-output signal to obtain a compensated FFT-output signal. A delay spread estimate is calculated based on at least one of the FFT-output signal and the compensated FFT-output signal, and the position of the FFT-window is adjusted based on at least the determined frequency dependent phase rotation component and the calculated delay spread estimate.
摘要:
A communication device has a first transceiver that operates in a first communication system in the presence of a second transceiver that operates in a second communication system that is unrelated to the first communication system. A scheduler of packets for transmission by the first transceiver uses information about when the second communication system will be transmitting a signal that will interfere with reception by the first transceiver, and schedules data for which re-transmission is not essential in those time slots in which an implicit NACK is expected due to the second transceiver's operation.

A gain control circuit adjusts the signal level of a received signal responsive to the bandwidth a received signal and/or the delay spread of the channel in which the signal has propagated. The bandwidth and delay spread are evaluated to estimate the amount of signal variation that is expected due to fast fading. Adjustments to the signal level are then made to avoid clipping while at the same time ensuring that the dynamic range of a receiver component is efficiently utilized.
