Abstract:
A variable bandwidth OFDM receiver and methods for receiving OFDM signals of different bandwidths are generally disclosed herein. The variable bandwidth OFDM receiver may be configured to receive signals over wider bandwidths by processing a resource block of subcarriers comprising a greater number of subcarriers, and receive signals over narrower bandwidths by processing a resource block of subcarriers comprising a lesser number of subcarriers. The resource blocks have a number of OFDM symbols in a time dimension to define a time slot, and each wherein the resource block comprises a minimum number of subcarriers for a narrowest bandwidth for a predetermined minimum bandwidth reception and a predetermined maximum number of subcarriers for a maximum bandwidth reception. In some embodiments, the variable bandwidth receiver may operate in accordance with an 3GPP LTE E-UTRAN standard.
Abstract:
In a multi-antenna, multicarrier transmitter, a multicarrier communication signal is generated by normalizing beamforming matrices based on an average subcarrier power loading for each of the transmit antennas. One or more spatial streams may be transmitted by two or more antennas.
Abstract:
A multi-antenna transmitter is configured for orthogonal frequency division multiplexed (OFDM) communications. The multi-antenna transmitter includes circuitry to receive an input bit sequence for code block segmentation including adding filler bits based on a selected code block size, a encoder to encode the bit sequence and an interleaver configurable to perform interleaving operations on blocks of bits of various code block sizes of the bit sequence. A controller is to select the code block size for the interleaver and OFDM transmitter circuitry to transmit OFDM symbols on subcarriers utilizing more than one antenna. The OFDM symbols are generated at least in part from the interleaved blocks.
Abstract:
In a multicarrier transmitter that transmits two or more spatial data streams, a bit distributor assigns encoded bits to the spatial data streams based on bit-loading capabilities of the streams and in a manner to intermix the bits among the spatial streams.
Abstract:
Transmission parameters for a multicarrier communication channel are selected by setting a power level for each subcarrier of an active set of subcarriers, and calculating the channel capacity based on the power levels and effective noise powers. The number of active subcarriers of the set is decreased, the power levels are reset and the channel capacity is recalculated until a final set of active subcarriers result that provide the highest channel capacity.
Abstract:
A multicarrier receiver generates a quantized transmit beamformer matrix ({tilde over (V)}) for each subcarrier of a multicarrier communication channel for use by a multicarrier transmitting station. The multicarrier receiver applies a corrected receiver beamformer matrix (ŨH) to received subcarriers signals generated by signals received from the transmitting station.
