This disclosure relates to method, device and system for measuring signal quality in a communication system. An access point receives an uplink signal from a transmitter. The uplink signal contains a data portion and a result of a hash function. The uplink signal is received at a time based on a slot start time and a random timing offset and is received while a portion of a second signal is received from a second transmitter. The access point measures a noncoherent energy metric for the uplink signal. The access point computes a local result of the hash function using the data portion. The uplink signal is then discarded if the result of the hash function matches the local result of the hash function but the noncoherent energy metric is below a threshold value.

This disclosure relates to method, device and system for compensating for information not received in a communication system. An encoded signal is created from a source signal using a forward error correction technique. A first predetermined part of the encoded signal is transmitted. A second predetermined part of the encoded signal is transmitted. Transmission of the second predetermined part of the encoded signal is terminated after a determination of a successful decoding of the encoded signal is made.

A system and method to adjust the symbol constellation used to de-map a signal in an optical coherent communications system. A feedback de-mapper adjustment module is configured to compare average Error Vector Magnitude and Bit Error Ratio to a pre-defined table to determine when a constellation de-mapper mismatch occurs. The feedback de-mapper adjustment module then rotates the de-mapper constellation in order to compensate for phase drift.

The invention relates to a method of non-coherent decoding an encoded CPM signal received by a wireless receiver, and a CPM decoder implementing the method, wherein the signal is generated by a transmitter using a serial concatenation of an outer encoder, an interleaver and an M-ary CPM modulator, and may have a frequency-hopping RF carrier. In a preferred embodiment, the method includes iteratively decoding the received signal by first recursively finding a sub-set of dominant sequences of CPM symbols that maximize a path metric for one hop interval using a non-coherent CPM detector, determining on the basis of this sub-set a sequence of soft inner bits, decoding these soft inner bits with an outer decoder, and using extrinsic information for the soft inner bits provided by the outer decoder to iteratively update the sub-set of dominant sequences of CPM symbols in the inner CPM detector.

An apparatus for demodulating an analogue input signal comprises a hard limiter stage (4) for converting the signal to a two level signal, A digital down converter/low pass filter stage (6) converts the signal to a base band signal, and a symbol synchronization stage (8) extracts symbol timing. An instantaneous phase detector (10) calculates the instantaneous phase of the one or more symbols associated with the input signal. If the input signal has been modulated according to a pi/4DQPSK, pi/2DBPSK, GMSK, or a GFSK modulation scheme, a differential detector (12) determines a difference in the phase between adjacent symbols, a coarse frequency offset compensation stage (14) applies a compensation signal to compensate for frequency offset, and a frequency offset estimation stage (16) updates this compensation signal. A demapper (18) generates a demodulated output signal after compensation by the frequency offset compensation stage.

Methods, apparatus, and systems for alternating quadratures differential binary phase shift keying (AQDBPSK) modulation and demodulation radically increase overall energy efficiency of a communication system due to the combined effect of efficient utilization of transmitter power, high noise immunity of modulation and demodulation, fast synchronization, and simple implementation. Efficient utilization of transmitter power is achieved because radical reduction of side lobe regeneration provided by AQDBPSK allows operation of all amplifiers of the transmitter analog signal path, including power amplifiers, in energy efficient nonlinear mode (for example, they can operate as class C amplifiers) without causing interchannel interference. AQDBPSK radically reduces side lobe regeneration by limiting phase transitions between adjacent in time modulator output symbols to ±90° and smoothly executing the transitions. High noise immunity of AQDBPSK is achieved due to transmitting modulator input data by binary 0° and 180° phase differences between adjacent in time same parity modulator output symbols and optimal noncoherent demodulation of the received same parity symbols. Use of noncoherent demodulation reduces synchronization time, and fast synchronization substantially lowers energy consumption during burst transmissions. Proposed methods of modulation, noncoherent demodulation, and synchronization can easily be realized using the simplest digital signal processing operations and the simplest digital circuits. These methods can also be implemented in a universal reconfigurable digital modem. This enables significant reduction of power consumption in real world applications. In addition, entirely digital realization of the proposed methods, apparatus, and systems make them resistant to all destabilizing factors and simplifies their practical implementation; and fast and reliable synchronization increases time allocated for data transmission when transmission time is limited.

A system for estimating the modulation index and frequency offset of a CPM signal. An estimator filters the received signal and utilizes a training sequence to determine the modulation index and frequency offset of the CPM signal. The estimator can also include a post-processing step to eliminate all or part of a bias that might be created by the estimator.

The invention relates to a method and an arrangement for controlling the frequency of a radio-receiver which receives signal-sequences which have been subjected to interference and which include a synchronizing-sequence and a data-sequence. A signal-sequence is converted into signal-points intended for analysis. A Viterbi-analyzer is adapted to the prevailing interferences with the aid of the synchronizing-sequence. The data-sequence is Viterbi-analyzed through a large number of calculating stages to determine the bit-sequence of the data-sequence. A bit-sequence is extracted during the Viterbi-analysis, with a time-delay, subsequent to effecting a few calculating stages, and a corresponding extracted signal-point is calculated. The analysis-intended signal-point corresponding to the extracted signal-point is divided, time-delayed, and phase-compared with the extracted signal-point. Corresponding phase-comparisons are made with respect to consecutive signal-points in the data-sequence, and the angular magnitudes obtained in the phase-comparison are low-pass filtered and integrated to form an angle-shift signal (V). The analysis-intended signal-points are displaced angularly by the angle-shift signal (V) prior to the Viterbi-analysis.

The present invention relates to a QPSK modulator or demodulator for modulating two different input bit streams with a subharmonic pump carrier signal to produce an appropriately encoded QPSK output signal. The subharmonic pump carrier signal used is a submultiple of a predetermined microwave or millimeter-wave carrier frequency. The QPSK modulator or demodulator is capable of being fabricated on a planar substrate using appropriate stripline filters and a mixer diode in each of an in-phase and quadrature signal path. A fin line arrangement, also capable of fabrication on the substrate, can be used to introduce an appropriately phased subharmonic pump carrier signal into each of the in-phase and quadrature signal paths before each mixer diode. Each mixer diode mixes the associated data bit stream and one of the two appropriately phased pump carrier signals to produce separate output signals which modulate along separate orthogonal axes, which output signals are combined to produce the QPSK modulator output signal.
