摘要:
A system including an estimation module, a processing module, and a control module. The estimation module is configured to generate a first set of channel estimates for a plurality of subcarriers of a received signal. The processing module is configured to generate a second set of channel estimates for the plurality of subcarriers, in which the second set of channel estimates are generated based on the first set of channel estimates. The control module is configured to estimate a preamble sequence in the received signal based on each of (i) the first set of channel estimates and (ii) the second set of channel estimates.

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.

Techniques are provided for transmitting and receiving a mother code in an incremental redundancy hybrid automatic repeat-request protocol. A set of information bits corresponding to a message is encoded and interleaved to produce the mother code. Each bit position of the mother code is mapped to an output symbol, and each output symbol is mapped to an antenna for transmission. One or more transmissions are performed, where each transmission includes puncturing the mother code by selecting one or more symbols from the output symbols, and transmitting each symbol in the one or more symbols on an antenna corresponding to that symbol. The mother code is decoded, in part, by determining combinable bits contained within a set of received symbols and computing one or more log-likelihood ratio values corresponding to each symbol in the set of received symbols.

In a technique for communication with a station on a wireless network, the technique includes forming a plurality of narrow-band beams, each having a different angular direction from an antenna of a base station and collectively distributed over a beamspace to form a pseudo-omni-directional beam pattern. That beamspace may span an entire spherical region or a portion thereof, for example, when the narrow-band beams are broadcast over a sector of an entire spherical region. The technique may assign each of the plurality of narrow-band beams to a different frequency band (such as a different channel band or sub-channel) on the wireless network. The technique may simultaneously broadcast the plurality of narrow-band beams in a time-varying manner such that the angular direction of each of the plurality of narrow-band beams varies with time, where that variation may be random or ordered.

In a method for synchronizing a receiver to a synchronous signal, in a signal having been processed based on an automatic gain control (AGC) with a varying gain, a symbol is detected. An estimated beginning of a subsequent frame is determined based on the detected symbol. A gain of the AGC is fixed for a period during which the estimated start of the subsequent frame is processed by the AGC. A transform of the signal is analyzed to determine if the estimated start of the subsequent frame corresponds to an actual start of the subsequent frame. If the estimated start of the subsequent frame does not corresponds to the actual start of the subsequent frame, the gain of the AGC is allowed to resume varying and, a further symbol in the signal is detected, the signal having been processed based on the varying gain of the AGC.

In a method for synchronizing a receiver to a synchronous signal, a plurality of potential symbols are detected in a signal, the signal having been processed based on automatic gain control (AGC) with a varying gain. Next frame potential symbols corresponding to potential symbols in the plurality of potential symbols are determined, the next frame potential symbols being in frames subsequent to the frames in which the corresponding potential symbols are located. A gain of the AGC is fixed for each corresponding symbol interval during which a next frame potential symbol is operated on by the AGC. In between next frame potential symbols, the AGC is allowed to vary. Next frame potential symbols are analyzed after a transform is calculated to determine if any correspond to a start of a frame.

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.

A receiver in an OFDM system may include a multi-mode estimator to estimate symbol timing offset for different performance measures. In addition to a maximum likelihood estimation mode, the estimator may have a minimum failure probability estimation mode, a minimum mean square error estimation mode, and a minimum modified mean square error estimation mode.

摘要:
A system comprises a receiver module that receives a signal that is modulated using coherent orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) modulation. A signal to noise ratio (SNR) module communicates with the receiver module and generates a SNR estimate based on the OFDM signal. An estimator module communicates with the SNR module and estimates carder frequency offset (CFO) based on the SNR estimate. System for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) signals such as frequency differential demodulation and time differential demodulation are also described.
