摘要:
A method for generating a preamble of a data unit for transmission via a communication channel includes generating a first field of the preamble using one of a first sequence or a second sequence, such that the first sequence and the second sequence are complementary sequences such that a sum of out-of-phase aperiodic autocorrelation coefficients of the first sequence and the second sequence is zero; generating, using the other one of the first sequence or the second sequence, an indicator of a start of a second field of the preamble, the second field associated with channel estimation information, such that the indicator of the start of the second field immediately follows the first field; and generating the second field of the preamble.

A method for generating a preamble of a data unit includes generating a short training field (STF) of the preamble to include one of a repeating series of a sequences or a repeating series of b sequences, such that a and b are complementary sequences, a sum of out-of-phase aperiodic autocorrelation coefficients of a and b is zero, and where the STF is associated with at least synchronization information, and generating a long training field (LTF) of the preamble after the STF to include a′ sequences and b′ sequences, such that a′ is the sequence a cyclically shifted by zero or more positions, b′ is the sequence b cyclically shifted by zero or more positions, and where the LTF is associated with channel estimation information.

A system includes an encoding module, a symbol selection module, a subcarrier selection module, and a mapping module. The encoding module receives symbols for transmission over K subcarriers and T antennas, encodes the symbols using a space time code, and generates space time coded (STC) versions of the symbols, where K and T are integers greater than 1. The symbol selection module selects T adjacent ones of the symbols and selects STC versions of the T adjacent ones of the symbols. The subcarrier selection module selects one of the K subcarriers for transmitting the T adjacent ones of the symbols and the STC versions of the T adjacent ones of the symbols. The mapping module maps the T adjacent ones of the symbols onto the T antennas for transmission over the selected one of the K subcarriers, respectively, and maps the STC versions of the T adjacent ones of the symbols onto the T antennas for transmission over the selected one of the K subcarriers.

An Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) receiver is provided that receives a modulated OFDM signal through a channel. The OFDM receiver includes an RF downconverter that generates a downconverted modulated OFDM signal based on the modulated OFDM signal, an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) that generates digitized OFDM symbols based on the downconverted modulated OFDM signal, a carrier-phase correction module that generates time-domain symbols based on the digitized OFDM symbols, a fast Fourier transform (FFT) module that generates frequency-domain symbols based on the time-domain symbols, and an estimator module that receives the frequency-domain symbols and determines an integer carrier frequency offset (CFO) estimate and a channel estimate and that generates respective integer CFO estimate and channel estimate signals.

A receiver in an OFDM system may include a maximum likelihood (ML) estimator that estimates the integer part of the carrier frequency offset. The estimator may operate with or without pilot subcarriers. The estimator may calculate the integer frequency offset estimate based on the cyclic shift and phase shift of subcarriers between OFDM symbols.

Systems and methods are provided for transmitting information between an intended source and a receiver to minimize co-channel interference from at least one interfering source. Pilot subcarriers and data subcarriers may be broadcast from an intended source arid at least one interfering source. The pilot subcarriers may be shared across base stations or distributed among base stations in frequency, in time, or both. In addition, the frequency reuse factor of the pilot subcarriers may be different than the frequency reuse factor of the data subcarriers. A receiver receives a composite signal that corresponds with an intended signal from an intended source and an interfering signal from at least one interfering source. The portion of the received signal that corresponds to the intended signal may be recovered by the receiver based on the broadcast of the pilot subcarriers.

A receiver in an OFDM system may include a joint maximum likelihood (ML) estimator that estimates both time offset and frequency offset. The estimator may use samples in an observation window to estimate the time offset and frequency offset.

Systems and techniques for digital processing of FM stereo signals are described. A carrier signal such as a 38 kHz carrier may be recovered and used to process a difference signal such as a left minus right signal. The left minus right signal and a left plus right signal may be used to generate separate left plus right signals.
摘要:
Systems and methods are provided for decoding signal vectors in multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems, where the receiver has received one or more signal vectors based on the same transmitted vector. The receiver linearizes each received signal vector using one or more zero-forcing, MMSE, or other suitable linear equalizers. The components of the equalized signal vectors may be combined using maximum-ratio combining to form the components of a combined equalized signal vector. The components of the combined equalized signal vector may then be decoded individually using a linear decoder.
摘要:
Joint equalization and decoding techniques to eliminate the division operations in the Frequency domain Equalizer (FEQ) of an Orthogonal Frequency Division Modulation (OFDM) receiver by incorporating the magnitude of the channel impulse response estimates into the decision metrics in the decoder. This includes methods for both hard-decision symbol-by-symbol detection and soft-decision decoding using the Viterbi algorithm. Further, Channel State Information (CSI) is incorporated to improve the performance of the receiver. The disclosure also introduces a computationally efficient bit-by-bit piecewise approximation technique incorporating CSI to implement decoder decision metrics. Finally, an efficient implementation technique for multiple receiver antennae using Maximum Ratio Combining (MRC) and Viterbi decoding with CSI is disclosed.
