Abstract:
A receiver in a MIMO-OFDM system may process OFDM symbols received on a number (MR) of receive antennas. The system may utilize a MIMO-OFDM frame format that includes additional long training OFDM symbols, for training additional antennas and for link adaptation, and a header with an additional SIGNAL symbol to indicate MIMO-OFDM-specific information.

Abstract:
A measurement signal, the measurement signal indicative of a bias in a signal received via a communication channel, is generated. A detection signal, the detection signal indicative of presence of an unmodulated radio frequency (RF) carrier prior to a communication frame in the signal received via the communication channel, is generated using the measurement signal.
Abstract:
A device can include a module configured to: receive one or more frames, at least one frame including a training sequence; determine a fine frequency offset using the training sequence; and perform frequency offset compensation on the at least one frame using the fine frequency offset.
Abstract:
A physical layer (PHY) packet aggregation technique may be used to reduce the percentage of PHY overhead in data transmission in order to achieve better PHY efficiency and higher throughput. Higher layer packets in an upper layer data queue may be fragmented into appropriate small-size sub-packets, which include a body encapsulated by a MAC header and an FCS field. The sub-packets are then concatenated to form the data field of an aggregated PHY packet. Since each of the sub-packets contains its own MAC (Media Access Control) header and FCS (Frame Check Sequence) field, the receiver can identify and flag erroneous sub-packets on an individual basis. The receiver may transmit a block ACK, which includes the acknowledgement status for each of the sub-packets in the aggregated PHY packet, to the transmitter. The transmitter may resend only the erroneous sub-packet(s).
Abstract:
Apparatus, systems, and methods implementing techniques for reducing the variation of a DC offset are described. An input signal is amplified to produce an intermediate signal. The intermediate signal is processed to produce a feedback signal and an output signal, where the output signal has a DC offset that varies with a varying parameter of the circuitry used to process the intermediate signal. Variation of the DC offset of the output signal is reduced using the feedback signal. In one implementation, the circuitry used to process the intermediate signal is a variable-gain amplifier circuit, and the DC offset of the output signal varies with a gain of the variable-gain amplifier.
Abstract:
A transceiver including: an antenna configured to a receive a first signal transmitted on a radio frequency channel; and a peak-to-sidelobe ratio determination unit configured to generate a second signal based on a ratio, in which the ratio is based on a peak value and a sidelobe value, and the peak value and the sidelobe value are determined based on a non-correlated version of the first signal. The transceiver further includes a carrier sense unit configured to, based on the second signal, generate a third signal indicating (i) whether the radio frequency channel is busy or (ii) whether the first signal is valid.
Abstract:
Techniques for and apparatus capable of implementing packet detection and signal recognition in wireless communications systems are disclosed. In particular, the disclosed techniques and apparatus incorporate at least one of relative energy detection operable on assessment of a relative energy threshold for an inbound signal borne across an RF channel, carrier sense operable upon on assessment of at least one of a peak-to-sidelobe ratio and peak-to-peak distance defined by the inbound signal, and comparison operable upon demodulated data corresponding to the inbound signal as compared to predetermined preamble data. Clear channel assessment is performed based on determinations undertaken by one or more of the aforementioned relative energy detection, carrier sense and comparison operations.

Abstract:
A method and circuit for indicating signal faults in wireless transmissions, particularly, a carrier leak, includes an input to receive a wireless signal, a bias detector that detects a bias in a portion of the signal and outputs a bias value indicative of the bias, an evaluator configured to compare the bias value to at least one allowable transmission signal value, and output a signal when the bias value is outside the allowable transmission signal value, and an output, responsive to the evaluator, to indicate a carrier leakage in the wireless signal. A buffer may be provided between the input and the evaluator. The sensitivity of the circuit may be adjusted and a protocol determination may be made.
