摘要:
Embodiments include processes, systems, and devices for reshaping virtual baseband signals for transmission on non-contiguous and variable portions of a physical baseband, such as a white space frequency band. In the transmission path, a spectrum virtualization layer maps a plurality of frequency components derived from a transmission symbol produced by a physical layer protocol to sub-carriers of the allocated physical frequency band. The spectrum virtualization layer then outputs a time-domain signal derived from the mapped frequency components. In the receive path, a time-domain signal received on the physical baseband is reshaped by the virtual spectrum layer in order to recompose a time-domain symbol in the virtual baseband.

An extended wireless access point may have many distributed radio units connected to associated processing units via a radio transmission network comprising commodity switches controlled by one or more network controllers. The one or more network controllers may use a load balancing algorithm to select a processing unit to process a signal received by a distributed radio unit. The radio units may receive a wireless signal, and generate compressed samples of the wireless signal for transport via the radio transmission network and processing by a selected processing unit. Similarly, a processing unit may generate and transmit via the radio transmission network compressed samples for decompression and transmission by a radio unit.
摘要:
Implementations for retransmitting erroneous portions within a transmission frame are described. A sender transmits a transmission frame and the receiver performs error detection on portions of the transmission frame in order to determine if any are received in error. The receiver sets up a feedback channel and transmits acknowledgements to the receiver to indicate that one or more portions have been received and to identify any portions that are received with errors. At least some of the acknowledgements are transmitted prior to receipt of the entire transmission frame. The sender retransmits any portions that are identified as being erroneous within the transmission frame.
摘要:
An extensive use of look-up table (LUT) and single instruction multiple data (SIMD) in different algorithms in a software-defined radio (SDR) system is described. In particular, the LUT is used during spreading modulation, mapping and spreading, scrambling, de-scrambling, soft demapping, and the like. The SIMD is executed by a multi-core processor during implementation of a “min” operation to find an optimal path in a Trellis diagram for a Viterbi decoder.

摘要:
A radio control board passes a plurality of digital samples between a memory of a computing device and a radio frequency (RF) transceiver coupled to a system bus of the computing device. Processing of the digital samples is carried out one or more cores of a multi-core processor to implement a software-defined radio.
摘要:
Described is a technology in which a Wi-Fi enabled mobile computing device conserves power by only selectively scanning to discover a potential access point for connecting. In one aspect, a cellular footprint, comprising the cellular tower identifier(s) and corresponding signal strength information, determines whether to perform or delay the Wi-Fi scan. The footprint may be used to detect mobile user location changes and compare with history, so as to delay scanning when the device has not sufficiently moved, or delay scanning when the history indicates little chance of a successful discovery/connection at the current location.
摘要:
A system and method for producing and receiving interactive broadcasting having a broadcast signal with a hypermedia channel and a logical multicast data channel. The logical multicast data channel has a broadcast signal markup stream (BSMS). The system users have a receiver with an interactivity module and a communication module. The BSMS allows user selectable objects to be displayed to users of the system. BSMS objects can be generated by combining speech recognition, language (and optionally video) processing, and keyword searches. By selecting objects various information relating to those objects may be displayed to users. A portion of the logical multicast channel may be employed to provide interactivity between users. A variation eliminates the BSMS either by employing a markup stream server to provide access links or by generating link content directly in the receiver by the same process.
摘要:
Described is using a graphic processing unit (GPU) as a programming platform to implement radio communication technologies. A software defined radio platform is implemented via a graphics processing unit (GPU). The GPU includes modules, corresponding to kernels, that process an incoming bitstream (e.g., from a CPU) into baseband signals for output by radio frequency hardware. Example modules include a PLCP module, a scrambler, an encoder, a puncturer, an interleaver, a mapper, a pilot insertion module, an OFDM module, and cyclic prefix and/or windowing modules. Other example modules/kernels convert a received baseband signal into a bitstream for consumption by a CPU or the like. In one example, an IEEE 802.11a transceiver is operated by the GPU-based software defined radio platform.
