System and method for signaling control information in a multi-carrier communications system to transmit data. A preferred embodiment comprises demodulating a first carrier that is used for transmitting a control channel transmission, determining a second carrier that is used for transmitting a data channel transmission based upon the demodulated control channel transmission, and demodulating the second carrier to obtain the data channel transmission. Additionally, designs for multi-carrier receivers are provided.

A technique is provided for implementing adaptive thresholds associated with HS-SCCH detection schemes; and when applied to any HS-SCCH detection scheme, the resulting false alarm probability curves are more robust to amplitude variations of the different shared control channels. The technique has low computational complexity and low storage requirements for the estimator. Such lower complexity detection schemes have been found to outperform more complex schemes when adaptive thresholds are applied.

A communication system 100 allows for heterogeneous piconets/scattenets 100 where in multiple modes 110, 112 of transmission, one of Bluetooth 110 and one or more other modes of transmission 112 are possible. While at the same time maintaining synchronization between all the different modes of transmission 110, 112 in a given piconet and across a scatternet 100. This allows for a communication device that can communicate using a plurality of transmission modes depending on the communication needs of the device.
摘要:
A frequency hopping system such as a Bluetooth system (300) can reduce the number of RF channels it hops during a normal hopping sequence cycle providing for a Reduced Hopping Sequence (RHS). A communication unit operating in the system such as the Bluetooth master unit (302) determines if any of the RF channels has interference. If any of the channels has interference, the Bluetooth master sends a message to one or more slave units (304, 306) informing them of which channels will be removed from the hopping sequence due to potential interference problems. The units will then use the new RHS for their transmissions, thus avoiding the interference problems (e.g., both avoiding interference in the system's receivers and avoiding creating interference on frequencies that are already occupied by other neighboring systems).

摘要:
System and method for detecting transmissions from multiple users in a digital wireless communications system in the presence of interference. A preferred embodiment comprises derotating a received signal by a specified amount, determining channel estimates, which can include the determination of the number of users (interferers plus a desired user), and extracting information transmitted by the desired user from the received signal. Successive and parallel multiuser detection schemes are provided for extracting the information from the received signal.
摘要:
System and method for interference cancellation in a digital wireless communications system. A preferred embodiment comprises sampling a received signal wherein the received signal is real-valued, rotating the sampled received signal by a specified amount, extracting in-phase and quadrature phase streams from the rotated, sampled received signal, applying an interference suppression filter and combining the filtered streams. The output of the combining operation can be de-correlated (by whitening) if there is excessive correlation.

Automatic repeat request (ARQ) operations can be implemented in wireless communications by sending (2401) a plurality of data packets in a superpacket, and responding (2430) with an acknowledgement packet that indicates which packets of the superpacket require retransmission.
摘要:
A wireless receiver (UST). The receiver comprises at least one antenna (ATU) for receiving a plurality of frames (FR) in a form of a plurality of paths. Each of the plurality of frames comprises a plurality of time slots (SLN), and each of the plurality of time slots comprises a plurality of symbols. Further, each of the plurality of paths has a corresponding sample position, wherein the plurality of symbols comprise a primary synchronization code symbol (PSC). The receiver further comprises circuitry (52) for correlating a primary synchronization code across a group of the plurality of symbols, and circuitry for identifying a plurality of path positions within the group. Each of the plurality of path positions corresponds to a respective one of a plurality of largest-amplitude paths represented within the group as detected in response to the circuitry for correlating. Finally, the receiver comprises circuitry for combining (54, 58) the plurality of largest-amplitude paths in response to identification of those paths by the circuitry for identifying.
