摘要:
Embodiments of the invention provide a system and method of hybrid automatic repeat-request (HARQ) processing. A viterbi decoder is coupled to and follows a descrambler. After the signal has been de-scrambled, it can be stored in a memory in case it needs to be recombined with another packet. This means that the log-likelihood ratios LLRs for each transmitted bit are stored in memory using a finite number of bits (for example, between 4 and 12 bits). If the packet that is currently being processed contains retransmitted information, then the de-scrambled output stored from a previous packet containing the same information can be loaded and combined with the current packet.

Systems and methods for providing multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) detection, comprising a leaf node predictor for receiving a processed communications stream, computing at least one channel metric corresponding to the communications stream for a given channel realization, and generating at least one parameter corresponding to at least one predicted best leaf node candidate for the given channel realization. A MIMO engine receives the at least one parameter and enumerates at least one list of candidate vectors corresponding to the leaf nodes specified by the generated at least one parameter. Some embodiments simulate a MIMO detector over many channel realizations, track channel metric and parameter values used for each channel realization resulting from such simulating, and store, in a look-up table, best values of the tracked values used for a particular channel metric.

Embodiments provide a transform-based method for representing steering matrices in transmit beamforming for a multiple-input multiple-output orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (MIMO-OFDM) system. Beamforming embodiments generate a transform-based representation of steering matrices for at least a subset of sub-carriers for which channel information is known. In some embodiments, a beamformer is able to receive transform matrices information for at least a subset of channel sub-carriers, and generate corresponding channel sub-carrier steering matrices. Some embodiments of a beamformee are able to map at least a subset of channel sub-carrier steering matrices to corresponding transform matrices information prior to transmitting the transform matrix information to a beamformer. Other embodiments of a beamformer are able to receive channel information for at least a subset of sub-carriers of a channel, and compute a transform-based representation of a steering matrix for each sub-carrier for which channel information is known.

A Multiple-input Multiple-Output (MIMO) receiver is provided. The MIMO receiver comprises a parameterized sphere detector having two search modes. During a first search mode, the parameterized sphere detector enumerates a number of best candidate vectors up to a fixed parameter value. During a second search mode, the parameterized sphere detector enumerates additional candidate vectors using a greedy search until a predetermined number of candidate vectors have been enumerated.
摘要:
The present invention provides a versatile system for selectively spreading carrier data across multiple carrier paths within an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) system, particularly an ultra-wideband (UWB) system. The present invention provides a data input, which passes data to a randomizer. The data then passes to a convolutional code function, the output of which is punctured by puncturing function. An interleaver function receives the punctured code data, and cooperatively operates with a mapper element to prepare the coded data for pre-transmission conversion by an IFFT. The mapper element comprises a dual carrier modulation function, which associates and transforms two punctured code data elements into a format for transmission on two separate signal tones.
摘要:
An apparatus and method for transmitting and receiving a bit stream. On the transmission side, coded bits (Y.sub.t) and an interleaved version of the coded bits (X.sub.t) are separately modulated and transmitted. On the reception side, a priori output probabilities produced by a probability generator (34) are combined (112) and then input to a SISO decoder (111). Combined a posteriori output probabilities (115) produced by the SISO decoder are split (113) and then fed back to the probability generator.
摘要:
A method of wireless handover in a broadcast network (FIGS. 5 and 8) is disclosed. A wireless receiver (FIG. 4) receives a first signal (N) from a first transmitter (f1). The receiver measures a signal strength (RSSI) of the first signal. The strength of the first signal is compared to a first threshold (T0). The receiver receives a second signal (N+3) from a second transmitter (f3) in response to the step of comparing. The first and the second signals are sent to an application processor (120). The wireless receiver continues to receive the first and second signals until the application processor terminates receiving one of the first and second signals.
摘要:
A Hybrid IMMSE-LMMSE receiver processing technique predicts performance of and selects between iterative and non-iterative decoding of symbols based on an intelligent metric. Based on a pre-specified criterion, the receiver determines if a correct first-stage decision is made or not. If a correct decision is made, then it follows iterative processing like in BLAST. Alternatively, if a wrong decision is found to have occurred, the receiver resorts to LMMSE estimation processing.
