An apparatus and method for correlating a signal over a correlation interval while accommodating spreading code frequency offset is described. In one embodiment, the apparatus includes a plurality of correlators, where each correlator forms a correlation result corresponding to a unique code frequency offset hypothesis. Each correlator selects samples from a tapped delay line at a tap position moved along the delay line at a rate corresponding to the correlator unique code frequency offset hypothesis.

An emergency locating system can include emergency transceivers and rescue transceivers. The emergency transceivers can be capable of repeat transmission of a distress message using a variable power level and variable spreading factor. A receive transceiver can be capable of receiving the distress messages and sending a confirmation message to the emergency transceiver. The emergency transceiver can be capable of receiving the confirmation message and terminating transmission of the distress message.

Method and apparatus are disclosed for obtaining improved performance when using Forward Error Correction (FEC) with channels experiencing block fading or burst jamming over some number of contiguous symbols. One suitable application is when the channel is periodically obstructed due to the rotation of a propeller blade, resulting in a periodic block fading channel. During operation zero symbols are inserted into the received signal stream, prior to the FEC decoder at times that are estimated or otherwise determined to correspond to periods of jamming or severe fading. The zero symbols effectively “erase” the severely degraded symbols. The zero symbols are less detrimental to the FEC decoder than the severely degraded symbols, especially when the channel interleaving/de-interleaving operations result in the zero symbols being temporarily distributed over a large block of received symbols.

A system and method for detecting a spread spectrum encoded message within a received signal is described. The spread spectrum encoded message has an unknown code phase, unknown code frequency offset, and unknown carrier frequency offset. A plurality of code phase hypotheses, code frequency offset hypotheses, and carrier frequency offset hypotheses are searched in parallel. The unknown code phase, unknown code frequency offset, and unknown carrier frequency offset may also be estimated.
摘要:
A technique for resolving access contention in a parallel turbo decoder is described. The technique includes associating a plurality of buffer memories with the subdecoders so that accesses to banks of a shared interleaver memory can be rescheduled. Accesses can be rescheduled to prevent simultaneous accesses to a single bank of the shared interleaver memory based on an interleaver pattern.
