摘要:
A method and a receiver system for subcarrier-specific frequency offset correction including frequency offset estimation, updating and compensation. The method includes initial frequency offset estimation in time domain using packet preamble, frequency offset compensation during channel estimation symbols using the initial frequency offset estimate, and frequency offset update tracking during header and data part both being performed in the frequency domain. The initial frequency offset estimation includes using a sum over a number of time lagged autocorrelation results, corresponding to a number of the last consecutive symbols of the preamble part of the packet with the autocorrelations being the result of a sum over a window of cross-correlations between the incoming signal and the respective packet synchronization sequence. The receiver includes receiver blocks for initial frequency offset estimation, frequency offset compensation, frequency offset update tracking and obtaining a current frequency offset estimate.
摘要:
A rate adaptation scheme for a wireless transmission system. An information message encoded at a mother rate code is punctured to achieve an adapted rate approximate a selected code rate. The adapted code rate is such that all of the bits transmitted by multi bit symbols, such as OFDM symbols, are used to transmit information of the information message. The use of zero pad bits, or pad bits which cannot provide information regarding entirety of the information message is thereby reduced.
摘要:
Method and system for extracting soft estimates of DCM or 16-QAM modulated symbols that are received from a noisy channel. Optimal soft demapping rules are approximated using equations that are division-free and eliminate the need for implementing exponential and logarithmic functions that are inconvenient for hardware implementation.
摘要:
A method and system for removing frequencies interfering with a UWB OFDM receiver from transmission frequencies of the UWB communication. A sensing mechanism is added to the receiver that develops an energy histogram for the frequencies in a received signal and develops a tone mask for masking the interfering frequencies. The tone mask is applied after a mapping stage in the transmitter of the UWB communication and removes the interfering frequencies from the transmitted signal. Various criteria based on energy averaging are used to identify and null and remove the interfering frequencies.

摘要:
A method for determining antenna usage in a multiple input multiple output (MIMO) wireless communication system. The method includes exchanging information between terminals concerning the number of transmit antennas and number of receive antennas. In some embodiments antenna usage is based on the number of transmit antennas, the number of receive antennas, and an indication of channel quality. In some embodiments less than all of the available antennas, particularly transmit antennas, are used at a given time, with unused transmit antennas varying over time.
摘要:
Frame synchronization methods and systems suited for packet communications systems, and particularly time frequency hopping packet communication systems, are disclosed. Frame synchronization is performed by performing a first correlation on information of received symbols and performing a second correlation on results of the first correlation. In systems with repeating synchronization information modulated by a cover sequence, the results of the second correlation may be used to determine symbol numbering of symbols in a packet.

An apparatus for and a method of performing packet detection in a receiver is provided. The apparatus is configured to determine a measure of a correlation between information of one or more received symbols and synchronization information. The apparatus is also configured to determine a measure of an energy value of one or more of the received symbols. The apparatus is also configured to determine if a packet has been detected based on the measure of the correlation and the measure of the energy value of the one or more received symbols.
摘要:
Systems and methods for packet detection for frequency hopping networks. Multiple receiver chains are set to different frequencies to check for packets at the different frequencies, at least until receipt of a preamble sequence in a packet is received. After detection of a packet at least some of the receiver chains are used to process received signals according to a frequency hopping pattern.
