Abstract:
A system and method for time domain interpolation of signals for channel estimation. A method for computing channel estimates comprises storing symbols in a buffer, using time domain interpolation (TDI) for a first time to compute channel estimates for a set of sub-carriers of a symbol. The channel estimates are computed from the symbol and a first number of required symbols in the buffer. The method also comprises using TDI for a second time to compute channel estimates for the set of sub-carriers of a symbol. The channel estimates are computed from the symbol, a second number of required symbols in the buffer, and a buffered symbol used as a missing required symbol if the missing required symbol is not in the buffer.

Abstract:
A method of performing wireless communications. The method comprises, at a transmitting station, encoding a plurality of symbols into a frame. The method further comprises, from the transmitting station, transmitting the frame via a wireless communication to a receiving station. The frame comprises a plurality of sub-frames, wherein a first sub-frame in the plurality of sub-frames consists of a first number of symbols and a second sub-frame in the plurality of sub-frames consists of a second number of symbols. Finally, the first number differs from the second number.
Abstract:
A method of interference suppression is provided that includes receiving a first audio signal from a first audio capture device and a second audio signal from a second audio capture device wherein the first audio signal includes a first combination of desired audio content and interference and the second audio signal includes a second combination of the desired audio content and the interference, performing blind source separation using the first audio signal and the second audio signal to generate an output interference signal and an output audio signal including the desired audio content with the interference suppressed, estimating interference remaining in the output audio signal using the output interference signal, and subtracting the estimated interference from the output audio signal to generate a final output audio signal with the interference further suppressed.
Abstract:
A Hybrid IMMSE-LMMSE receiver processing technique predicts performance of and selects between iterative and non-iterative decoding of symbols based on an intelligent metric. Based on a pre-specified criterion, the receiver determines if a correct first-stage decision is made or not. If a correct decision is made, then it follows iterative processing like in BLAST. Alternatively, if a wrong decision is found to have occurred, the receiver resorts to LMMSE estimation processing.
Abstract:
In response to a first envelope within a kth frequency band of a first channel, a speech level within the kth frequency band of the first channel is estimated. In response to a second envelope within the kth frequency band of a second channel, a noise level within the kth frequency band of the second channel is estimated. A noise suppression gain for a time frame n is computed in response to the estimated speech level for a preceding time frame, the estimated noise level for the preceding time frame, the estimated speech level for the time frame n, and the estimated noise level for the time frame n. An output channel is generated in response to multiplying the noise suppression gain for the time frame n and the first channel.

A method and apparatus for cross-talk resistant adaptive noise cancellation. The method includes retrieving, via the processor, a primary signal and a reference signal, filtering the primary signal utilizing a filter H12(z) and estimating a cross-talk, filtering the reference signal utilizing a filter H21(z) and estimating the noise leakage of the reference signal, determining the difference between the noise leakage estimate from the primary signal and estimating a first post-filtering, determining the difference between the cross-talk estimate and the reference signal and estimating a second post-filtering, determining if the voice activity is detected in the primary signal, adapting filters H12 and H21 by de-correlation if the voice activity is detected, and adapting filter H12 by NLMS if the voice activity is not detected, limiting maximum filter change during different conditions for protecting filters H12 and H21 from diverging, maintaining filter stability by tracking absolute sum of the coefficients of the convolution of H12 and H21, obtaining a primary output and a reference output utilizing the first post-filtering and the second post-filtering, and utilizing the primary output and the reference output for cross-talk resistant adaptive noise cancellation.
