Abstract: A receiver for Filter Bank Multicarrier frequency spread signals such as FBMC, FBMC/OQAM, OFDM, comprises a linear phase rotation module adapted to introduce a linear phase rotation to a received time domain signal, a discrete Fourier transform and a Finite Impulse response digital filter. The coefficients of the digital filter define a shift of the frequency response of the prototype filter of the receiver, and the coefficients of the digital filter are fixed so as to compensate the linear phase rotation introduced by the filter. The frequency shift introduced may be equal to the reciprocal of a power of two of the modulation sub carrier spacing.

Abstract: The invention concerns a wavelength tunable semiconductor laser comprising a laser gain section (510) optically coupled to an underlying optical waveguide (520). According to an embodiment of the invention, a first and a second passive microring resonators (530, 560) having a whistle geometry, are arranged on both sides of the laser gain section and evanescently coupled with the optical waveguide (520). Highly reflective broadband mirrors (541, 571) are provided at the free ends of optical waveguide branches (240, 270) tangentially connected to the microring resonators. The first and second passive microrings resonators provide an optical feedback to the laser gain section and allow to select the desired wavelength. The laser structure can be implemented according to a III-V/Si technology.

Abstract: A method of designing a digital filter for example for use in an FBMC/OQAM telecommunications system, with a target overlapping factor and meeting a specified signal to interference ratio is described, whereby a candidate filter design defined by an impulse response, satisfying the Nyquist criterion and having an overlapping factor higher than the target is selected, and the time and frequency coefficients of its impulse response inverted to define a new filter design; andtruncating the impulse response defining said new filter design to the minimum number of coefficients achieving said specified signal to interference ratio.

Abstract: A method for managing a group of electrical energy consuming devices allows reducing the electrical consumption cost for some devices when the supply of electricity to said devices can be deferred. The method is particularly suitable for flexible power supply devices, and, in particular, when at least one of the devices is an electric vehicle that is connected in order to charge batteries of said vehicle.

Abstract: There is provided a decoder for decoding a data signal received through a transmission channel in a communication system, the decoder (310) comprising a symbol estimation unit (311) configured to determine estimated symbols representative of the transmitted symbols carried by the received signal, the estimated symbols being determined from nodes of a decoding tree based on a weight metric associated with each of the node. The decoder further comprises a termination alarm monitoring unit (312) for monitoring a termination alarm depending on the current decoding computation complexity, the termination alarm being associated with a metric parameter, the symbol estimation unit being configured to reduce the weight metric of each node of the decoding tree by a quantity corresponding to a function of the metric parameter associated with the termination alarm, in response to the triggering of the termination alarm.

Abstract: A method for locating at least one receiver in a positioning system. The system includes: at least two generators, each generator emitting, on a single carrier, at least two signals that each have a different code, and a receiver configured to detect the signals emitted by the generators. In the method: the receiver measures, for each generator, the phase difference between both signals emitted by the generator, and at least one geometric size, representing the position of the receiver in relation to the generators, is calculated on the basis of the measurements of the phase difference in order to locate the receiver in the positioning system.
