Abstract:
Systems and techniques relating to wireless communications are described. A described technique includes receiving, at a wireless communication device, a signal that is based on produced signals, the produced signals being produced via different respective constellations; detecting a first signal from the received signal based on a combined constellation of the respective constellations; removing a signal contribution of the first detected signal from the received signal to produce a modified received signal; and detecting a second signal from the modified received signal. Removing the signal contribution can include using a constituent constellation of the respective constellations, the constituent constellation being associated with the first detected signal.
Abstract:
In a method for decoding plurality of information streams corresponding to a plurality of layers, where the plurality of information streams have been transmitted via a multiple input multiple output (MIMO) communication channel, a plurality of received signals are processed to decode information corresponding to a first layer. A plurality of modified received signals are generated using the decoded information corresponding to the first layer and the plurality of received signals. Bit metric values are generated for a second layer using MIMO maximum likelihood (ML) demodulation and using the plurality of modified received signals and channel and modulation information for interfering signals. Information corresponding to the second layer is decoded using the generated bit metric values.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus are provided for receiving a first signal and generating an output signal indicative of radio data system (“RDS”) information. A receiver circuit of the invention can include mixer circuitry, lowpass filter circuitry, downsampler circuitry, and decoder circuitry. Advantageously, the receiver circuit can operate entirely within the digital domain, promoting interoperability with digital frequency modulation (“FM”) demodulator circuitry.
Abstract:
A physical layer device including a mapping module to map a plurality of data streams to a plurality of transmit antennas. Each transmit antenna is associated with a respective radio frequency channel. A first gain module communicates with a first transmit antenna, receives a first plurality of signals generated based on the plurality of data streams, and applies a first complex gain corresponding to the first transmit antenna to each of the first plurality of signals. A second gain module communicates with a second transmit antenna, receives a second plurality of signals generated based on the plurality of data streams, and applies a second complex gain corresponding to the second transmit antenna to each of the second plurality of signals. The second plurality of signals is different than the first plurality of signals. The second complex gain is different than the first complex gain.
Abstract:
A system including an input module, a first gain module, a second gain module, and a preamble estimation module. The input module is configured to receive an input signal from a station. The input signal includes (i) a first preamble sequence, and (ii) subcarriers. The first gain module is configured to, based on the input signal, generate first channel gain values. Each of the first channel gain values is for a respective one of the subcarriers. A second gain module is configured to, based on the first channel gain values, generate second channel gain values. A preamble estimation module is configured to estimate the first preamble sequence based on (i) the first channel gain values, and (ii) the second channel gain values.
Abstract:
In a method of demodulating a signal transmitted via a multiple input multiple output (MIMO) communication channel, a data symbol vector is received, the data symbol vector including a plurality of data symbols that are received via a plurality of antennas. The received data symbol vector corresponds to a transmitted data symbol vector including a plurality of transmitted data symbols. A plurality of candidate vectors are generated for the transmitted data symbol vector, the plurality of candidate vectors being less than all possible vectors for the transmitted data symbol vector. One candidate vector is selected from the plurality of candidate vectors such that the one candidate vector minimizes a distance value corresponding to a Euclidean distance between the received data symbol vector and a channel estimate matrix multiplied with the candidate vector.
