    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: 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.
