摘要:
Method for computing and transmitting channel quality information in a multi-carrier communications system. A preferred embodiment comprises receiving a transmission from a transmitter, wherein the transmission occurs over a plurality of carriers, measuring a channel condition for each carrier in a plurality of carriers, computing a channel quality indicator based upon the measured channel condition, and providing the channel quality indicator to the transmitter. The channel quality indicator can be used at the transmitter to schedule transmissions to various users in the multi-carrier communications system to maximize utilization of the carriers as well as overall network performance.
摘要:
A system and method for Viterbi decoding on encrypted data is disclosed. At the receiver, maximum likelihood decoding is performed based on received input in the encryption domain. When selecting a path from one stage of a Viterbi decoding trellis to the next, a local metric may be associated with each of the possible paths based on Euclidean distance between a received symbol and a path state. The path state is determined by encrypting the binary path state. An overall metric is associated with each state equivalent to a sum of local path metrics along a survivor path of selected paths. At the end of the Viterbi decoding trellis, a decoded and decrypted bit sequence is obtained by tracing back in a conventional manner.
