摘要:
In accordance with a detection method in a wireless communication system, an initial hypothesis for a starting position of a desired signal within a received wireless communication signal may be determined. The desired signal may have a conjugate symmetric property. At least one correlation value may be determined based on the initial hypothesis. The at least one correlation value may indicate the extent to which at least one sample sequence selected from the received signal has the conjugate symmetric property.

Techniques for initial wireless network synchronization by a mobile station are provided. For certain embodiments, the techniques may involve a joint search for the cell identification (ID-cell index) and the coarse carrier frequency offset (CFO) estimation. For certain embodiments, the techniques may be based on hard correlation and binary differential despreading that substantially simplifies computational complexity compare to known techniques that independently search for the ID-cell index and perform CFO estimation.

A method and apparatus for combining retransmitted hybrid automatic repeat-request (HARQ) messages divided into coding blocks in an orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM)/orthogonal frequency-division multiple access (OFDMA) receiver are provided. According to such a coding-block-based HARQ combining scheme, the quality of each coding block may be compared to a threshold to determine whether the decoded bits or the HARQ combined signal should be saved for each coding block for subsequent HARQ iterations. In addition to reducing the required HARQ buffer size while preserving the combining gain, coding-block-based HARQ combining may also provide fast decoding and reduced power consumption when compared to conventional HARQ combining techniques.

Certain embodiments of the present disclosure provide techniques for channel estimation without resorting to the channel second-order statistics. Methods and systems are proposed for improving the performance of an un-constrained least squares channel interpolator by using available side information of the channel, such as signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), Doppler frequency and/or delay spread.
摘要:
An apparatus and a method can improve the performance of a smart antenna system for signal processing in the frequency domain. The method includes: performing Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) on a plurality of incoming signals received through antennas according to a predetermined FFT window; detecting a boundary of an OFDM symbol and setting the FFT window with a margin as large as a predetermined FFT window offset with reference to the detected symbol boundary; receiving the FFT window offset and generating an FFT window calibration signal; and multiplying the FFT-processed incoming signals by the FFT window calibration signal. The method can improve the reception performance of a base station by compensating for the multi-path channel by using an RX FEQ coefficient obtained by a receiver of a terminal as an FEQ weight of a transmitter of the terminal. Further, the method can generate a uniform non-directional beam by generating a variable omni-directional beam pattern in a smart antenna system.

摘要:
A “post-squaring” detection algorithm, and related devices, that may reduce the complexity of maximum likelihood detection (MLD) schemes while preserving their performance is provided. Rather than search for optimum metrics (such as minimum distance metrics) based on squared norm values, a search may be based on un-squared norm metrics, and the squaring may be postponed, for example, until subsequent log-likelihood ratio (LLR) computation. For certain embodiments, approximations of un-squared norm values may significantly reduce computation complexity.
摘要:
Certain embodiments of the present disclosure allow a receiver to utilize both a minimum mean square error (MMSE) detection algorithm and a maximum likelihood (ML) detection algorithm. The receiver may control, based on various conditions, a mode selection signal to select between output generated with the MMSE detection algorithm and the ML detection algorithm. By sharing logical components, certain embodiments may allow a receiver to implement both ML and MMSE detection algorithms with minimal computational overhead when compared to implementing a single one of the decoding algorithms.
摘要:
Certain embodiments utilize raw signals to estimate channel quality, as contrasted to utilizing equalized signals or after channel estimation. For example, signal quality may be estimated by calculating powers of pilot sub-carriers and null sub-carriers of the raw signals. To mitigate channel effect, certain embodiments utilize first and/or second order differentiation schemes.
