摘要:
A radio control board exchanges data with a radio frequency (RF) front end using a messaging protocol over an interface that includes separate data and control channels. Training data can also be passed over the interface for tuning the clock phase.
摘要:
An analysis application is adapted to be executed on a computing device for collecting data for analysis from a software-defined radio implemented on the same computing device or on a separate computing device for testing measurement and analysis of wireless standards, radio configurations, communication protocols and other radio technologies.
摘要:
A computing device configured for wireless communication may effectively control adaptation to channel conditions. The device may be configured to identify and classify conditions impacting performance of a channel so that appropriate adaptations may be made. Interference may be detected by correlating received signal strength and packet errors. High received signal strength correlated to a high packet error rate may signify presence of a source of interference. Once a source of interference is detected, other criteria may be used to determine the nature of the interference so that an adaptation that is minimally disruptive of applications can be selected. Additionally, channel degradation may be predicted by monitoring trends in error rates, including Forward Error Correction rates, and adaptation may be used before packet error rates exceed an unacceptable level.

Embodiments include processes, systems, and devices for reshaping virtual baseband signals for transmission on non-contiguous and variable portions of a physical baseband, such as a white space frequency band. In the transmission path, a spectrum virtualization layer maps a plurality of transmission components associated with a transmission symbol produced by a physical layer protocol to sub-carriers of the allocated physical frequency band. The spectrum virtualization layer then outputs a physical transmission symbol composed of time-domain samples derived from the mapped frequency components and a cyclic prefix. In the receive path, a time-domain symbol received on the physical baseband is reshaped and equalized by the virtual spectrum layer in order to recompose a time-domain samples of a transmission stream in the virtual baseband.

摘要:
Embodiments include processes, systems, and devices that allow a white space base station to request available frequency ranges for white space transmission in a local area. A white space finder service models a primary user device's transmission signal propagation area using terrain data associated with the local area of the primary user device. The white space finder service also determines, based on the location of the white space base station and the modeled propagation area, one or more locally available, non-interfering frequency ranges and provides them to the white space base station. The white space base station compares the provided frequency ranges to policies and selects one or more of the available frequencies that accommodate the policies. The white space base station also maps the transmission frequency ranges to virtual frequency ranges for transmission by a software-defined radio employing spectrum virtualization.

摘要:
An uncontrolled spatial multiple access system and method facilitating spatial multiple access for multiple devices in a wireless local-area network (WLAN). Embodiments of the system and method increase throughput of the wireless network by facilitating concurrent encoded frame transmission. Decoding of the quasi-overlapped frames is achieved using a chain decoding technique that takes data streams (or signals) containing the quasi-overlapping encoded frames and isolates each encoded frame so that the frame can be decoded. Quasi-overlapped frames means that the frames are overlapped in the body of the frame but not at the preamble (or headers) of the frames. Embodiments of the chain decoding also use interference nullifying and interference cancellation to enable concurrent quasi-overlapping transmission. A carrier counting multiple access technique of embodiments of the system and method allow wireless networks to retain their asynchronous nature while supporting spatial multiple access and maintain backwards compatibility with the IEEE 802.11 standard.
摘要:
Techniques and systems that improve throughput between a pair of nodes by using two multi-hop paths of one-way flows regardless of the one-way flows interfering with each other are described herein. These techniques enable nearly full-rate data flow through frame transmissions, even though these frame transmissions can interfere with substantially concurrent relay transmissions. In some implementations, relays on the two paths forward mixed frame signals to the next hop without trying to decode the mixed frame signals of interfered frames. The destination successfully recovers the useful information from the mixed frame signals by canceling out interference based on previously received frames.
