Abstract:
A method of data encoding is disclosed. A communications device receives a set of information bits to be encoded into a codeword (c), which includes the set of information bits and a set of parity bits. A first bit value is assigned to a first parity bit in the set of parity bits. The remaining parity bits are then encoded based, at least in part, on the first bit value assigned to the first parity bit. The device may encode the remaining parity bits using the set of information bits and a parity check matrix (H) for a low density parity check (LDPC) code. The device may also generate a new parity check matrix (H0) based on linearly independent rows of the parity check matrix H, and iteratively evaluate each of the remaining parity bits based on the equation: H0c=0. The device may then determine whether the encoded codeword c is a valid codeword given the LDPC code, and change one or more bit values of the codeword if c is not a valid codeword.
Abstract:
A method of error correction using low density parity check (LDPC) codes is disclosed. A communications device receives a codeword and detects one or more bit errors in the received codeword using an LDPC code. The device then generates a corrected codeword based, at least in part, on a set of unsatisfied check nodes of the LDPC code. The device may determine that the one or more bit errors are associated with an absorption set of the LDPC code. The device may also determine a plurality of candidate codewords based on the set of unsatisfied check node and select the corrected codeword from the plurality of candidate codewords. Each of the plurality of candidate codewords may represent a valid codeword associated with the LDPC code.

A method of MIMO signal transmission on a cable is disclosed. The cable includes at least a first inner conductor, a second inner conductor, and an outer conductive shield. A first data signal is transmitted using the conductive shield and the first inner conductor. A second data signal is transmitted using at least the second inner conductor. The first and second data signals may be transmitted concurrently. For some embodiments, the second data signal may be transmitted using the first and second inner conductors. Thus, the second data signal may be a differential signal. For other embodiments, the first data signal may be transmitted using the conductive shield and the first inner conductor, and the second data signal may be transmitted using the conductive shield and the second inner conductor.

Methods and apparatus of wireless communication at a user equipment comprise compressing an uplink data packet. The methods and apparatus further comprise transmitting the uplink data packet on an uplink dedicated transport channel (DCH) to a network entity a plurality of times within a time duration allowed for transmission of the uncompressed uplink data packet. Moreover, the methods and apparatus comprise receiving a downlink acknowledgement message from the network entity corresponding to the uplink data packet. Additionally, the methods and apparatus comprise terminating transmission of the uplink DCH by transmitting bits of zero power for a remainder of the time duration on the DCH based on receiving the downlink acknowledgement message.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for demapping a double squared quadrature amplitude modulated (DSQ) symbol is disclosed. One or more first log likelihood ratios (LLRs) are determined, for a first subset of constellation points of a corresponding DSQ constellation, using an LLR approximation. One or more second LLRs are determined, for a second subset of constellation points of the DSQ constellation, using a lookup table. The DSQ symbol is then demapped to one of a plurality of constellation points of the DSQ constellation based on the first and second LLRs. For some embodiments, the first subset of constellation points may correspond with an inner region of the DSQ constellation and the second subset of constellation points may correspond with an outer region of the DSQ constellation.
Abstract:
A receiver is disclosed that includes a slicer having an input to receive a sequence of symbols exhibiting inter-symbol-interference (ISI). The slicer determines a state associated with each symbol based on a threshold. A feedback equalization unit is coupled to the slicer to apply equalization to the symbol fed to the slicer input based on prior detected symbol states. A Least-Mean-Square (LMS) unit cooperates with the slicer and feedback equalization unit to estimate a channel impulse response based on the equalized symbols. The LMS unit feeds the estimated channel impulse response to a Maximum-Likelihood-Sequence-Estimation (MLSE) unit to generate an estimated sequence of bits based on the estimated channel impulse response.
