Abstract:
A receiver (200) for receiving for receiving encoded data transmitted simultaneously as a plurality of M different sequences of transmitted symbols from different transmit antennas using a plurality of m modulation levels, where M and m are integers and each of the transmitted symbols represents a plurality of bits of the encoded data, comprises a demodulator (210) arranged to provide N received symbol combinations by receiving at a plurality of N receive antennas (202, 204), where N is an integer, the plurality of M different sequences of transmitted symbols, wherein each received symbol combination comprises M simultaneously received ones of the transmitted symbols. An equalizer (230) is arranged to generate from the N received symbol combinations M pre-processed signals by performing interference cancellation, in which interference cancellation a different symbol of the respective received symbol combination is a wanted signal and the other symbols of the respective received symbol combination are interfering signals. The equalizer (230) is also arranged to generate from each of the M pre-processed signals a list of up to m initial candidate symbol combinations by, for each of the up to m initial candidate symbol combinations, selecting a first initial symbol indicative of a different one of the m modulation levels and selecting M−1 further initial symbols. The equalizer (230) is further arranged to generate from the lists of initial candidate symbol combinations an initial estimate of the transmitted symbols. A decoder (260) is arranged to decode bits represented by the initial estimate of the transmitted symbols.
Abstract:
A method of driving a mobile communication terminal in a cellular network, includes monitoring with a control unit of the mobile communications terminal, reception power levels between the mobile communication terminal and cellular network base stations at a predefined monitoring rate for each base station. Timing information values for a number of base stations are intermittently monitored by the control unit. Drift of the timing information values for at least two of the base stations is monitored and significant motion of the mobile communication terminal is deemed detected if at least one of the timing information values indicates a drift equal to or exceeding a given timing drift threshold. The predefined reception power level monitoring rate is reduced to a reduced reception power level monitoring rate for at least a number of the base stations as long as the motion of the mobile communication terminal is not significant.
