摘要:
A MIMO receiver is provided with a preprocessor for performing QR decomposition of a channel matrix H wherein the factored reduced matrix R is used in place of H and Q*y is used in place of the received vector y in a maximum likelihood detector (“MLD”). The maximum likelihood detector might be a hard-decision MLD or a soft-decision MLD. A savings of computational complexity can be used to provide comparable results more quickly, using less circuitry, and/or requiring less consumed energy, or performance can be improved for a fixed amount of time, circuitry and/or energy. Where the MLD uses approximations, such as finite resolution calculations (fixed point or the like) or L1 Norm approximations, the reduced number of operations resulting from using the reduced matrix results in improved approximations as a result of the finite resolution operations. Other methods of reducing the channel matrix might be used for suitable and/or cumulative advantages.

摘要:
An ATM switching arrangement in which two types of cells are distinguished. A first type of cells is marked as low loss cells and a second type of cells is marked as low delay cells. In the switching arrangement a cell buffer (9) is subdivided into a first memory area (LL) for the low loss cells and a second area (LD) for the low delay cells. In the case of the cell buffer (9) being completely filled, low loss cells get read-in priority over low delay cells. In reading out from the cell buffer low delay cells take priority over low loss cells, unless the low delay area is empty. It is also possible to set a threshold value for the content of the low loss area; when the content of the low loss area exceeds the threshold value outputting of the low loss cells can then be started.
