摘要:
In one or more embodiments, a method of processing a soft value sequence according to an iterative soft-input-soft-output (SISO) algorithm comprises carrying out sliding-window processing of the soft value sequence in a first iteration using first window placements and in a second iteration using second window placements, and varying the window placements between the first and second iterations. In at least one embodiment, a communication receiver circuit is configured to carry out iterative SISO processing, wherein it processes a soft value sequence using sliding windows, and wherein it varies window placements between one or more iterations. The communication receiver circuit comprises, for example, all or part of a turbo decoding circuit or other type of iterative block decoding circuit, an equalization and decoding circuit, a soft demodulation and decoding circuit, a multi-user detection and decoding circuit, or a multiple-input-multiple-output detection and decoding circuit.

A method and apparatus for decoding turbo encoded data. A first turbo decoding iteration is performed to produce a most likely sequence of symbols, each symbol having an amplitude value and a positive or negative sign. The sequence of symbols is error checked, and if an error is detected, the apparatus forms a next most likely sequence by reversing the positive or negative sign of the symbol having the smallest amplitude. If an error is again detected, additional sign reversals are performed on symbols with larger amplitudes, and on multiple symbols. Each modification is error checked. If none of the modifications produce an error-free sequence, and a maximum number of modifications are performed, the apparatus performs another turbo decoding iteration to produce another sequence of symbols. The process is then repeated until an error-free sequence is produced or a maximum number of iterations are performed.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for communicating a message from a transmitting station to a remote receiving station by adaptively selecting a retransmission protocol from two or more retransmission protocols based on at least one changing transmission variable is described herein. The transmitting station transmits a first version of the message in a first transmission. When the previous transmission was unsuccessful, a controller adaptively selects either the first version of the message or a second version of the message in accordance with the selected protocol.

A receiver reduces interference in a received symbol of interest attributable to an interfering symbol using knowledge of the symbol spreading codes. The receiver comprises a plurality of correlators generating despread values for the received symbol of interest and the interfering symbol, and a combiner to combine the despread values using combining weights calculated based on spreading code correlations between spreading codes for the received symbol of interest and the interfering symbol.

A wireless communication receiver improves signal impairment correlation estimation in MIMO/MISO systems by considering different transmit power allocations and different transmit antenna power distributions in its impairment correlation calculations. The receiver may be implemented in according to a variety of architectures, including, but not limited to, Successive Interference Cancellation (SIC) Generalized RAKE (G-RAKE), Joint Detection (JD) G-RAKE, and Minimum Mean Squared Error (MMSE) G-RAKE. Regardless of the particular receiver architecture adopted, the improved impairment correlations may be used to calculate improved (RAKE) signal combining weights and/or improve channel quality estimates for reporting by receivers operating in Wideband CDMA (W-CDMA) systems transmitting HSDPA channels via MIMO or MISO transmitters. A transmitter may be configured to facilitate impairment correlation determinations by wireless communication receivers operating in MIMO/MISO environments, by signaling one or more values, e.g., data-to-pilot signal transmit power ratios and/or transmit antenna power distributions for the data and pilot signals.

Estimating an error rate for received communications can include iteratively processing each of a plurality of received symbol sequences to provide a respective plurality of data sequences, and providing a number of iterations performed to provide each of the plurality of data sequences. An error rate for the received communications can then be estimated based on the number of iterations performed to provide each of the plurality of data sequences. Related receivers and communications devices are also discussed.

A method of transmitting control information from a wireless communication terminal to an access network includes generating control information comprising a plurality of control bits. The method also includes encoding the control bits using a block code that outputs an encoded bit sequence comprising encoded bits b(0), b(1), . . . , b(19) and dividing the encoded bits into a first group and a second group. The first group includes the encoded bits {b(0), b(1), b(2), b(3), b(4), b(6), b(7), b(8), b(13), b(19)} and the second group includes the encoded bits {b(5), b(9), b(10), 6(11), b(12), b(14), b(15), b(16), b(17), b(18)}. The method further includes transmitting the first group of encoded bits on a first set of carriers and transmitting the second group of encoded bits on a second set of carriers having different frequencies from the first set of carriers.

摘要:
A UE in a wireless communication network transmits succinct, direct channel state information to the network, enabling coordinated multipoint calculations such as joint processing, without substantially increasing uplink overhead. The UE receives and processes reference symbols over a set of non-uniformly spaced sub-carriers, selected according to a scheme synchronized to the network. The frequency response for each selected sub-carrier is estimated conventionally, and the results quantized and transmitted to the network on an uplink control channel. The non-uniform sub-carrier selection may be synchronized to the network in a variety of ways.
摘要:
In a receive node of a wireless network, an iterative multi-user multi-stage interference cancellation receiver is used. After each stage of interference cancellation, interference characteristics change. An adaptive strategy is used in which after each stage of interference cancellation, impairment covariance is parametrically updated and combining weights of the receiver are adapted to reflect the updated impairment covariance.
