Abstract:
There is featured a Direct Mode (DM) communication method between two mobile terminals (MTs) in access point (AP) controlled WLAN systems. The DM connection scheme calls for establishing that an initiating MT and a remote MT are associated to the same AP; establishing that the remote MT supports a DM operation feature; sending, by the AP, address identifiers of the initiating and remote MTs to the remote and initiating MTs, respectively; and sending, to the AP, RSS measurements performed by the initiating and remote MTs of MT identifying messages sent to them by the remote and initiating MTs, respectively. DM communication between the two MTs continues with exchange of information to conclusion when a MT identifying message is satisfactorily received by both MTs and when a MT identifying message of either MT is not satisfactorily received, DM communication setup is terminated.
Abstract:
A method is for estimating drift between a first clock used in a digital transmission processing of a first Ultra Wide Band (UWB) pulse train signal and a second clock used in a digital reception processing of a second UWB pulse train signal resulting from a transmission of the first UWB pulse train signal. The method may include sampling the second UWB pulse train signal, and calculating trellis information representative of a trellis having reference paths respectively associated to different reference values of the drift and including sample transitions of a sampled third signal from the sampled second UWB pulse train signal. The method may further include processing the sampled third signal along the trellis for obtaining a path metric for each processed reference path, and selecting the processed reference path having a greatest path metric, the drift being the reference value associated to the selected processed reference path.

The block de-interleaving system includes an input for receiving a set of time-aligned blocks or interleaved data, physical memory unit, and a de-interleaving block for writing the blocks in the memory in a first predetermined manner and reading the blocks from the memory in a second predetermined manner to de-interleave the data of the blocks. The physical memory unit may include several different physical memories, and the de-interleaving block is adapted to completely write and read a block into and from one physical elementary memory.
Abstract:
Successive sequences of interleaved data samples extracted from a virtual memory having L0 columns and C0 rows are de-interleaved. The de-interleaving includes receiving each sequence of the interleaved data samples, and writing row by row the received sequences of interleaved data samples in a de-interleaving memory array having L rows and C columns, with L being greater or equal to L0 and C being greater or equal to C0. The data samples stored in the de-interleaving memory array are de-interleaved sub-array by sub-array. Each sub-array is a square cluster array having a number SQ of rows and columns. A cluster array is a row of the square cluster array comprising SQ data samples, with the number L of rows and the number C of columns of the de-interleaving memory array being multiples of the number SQ of rows and columns.

Abstract:
A method for de-interleaving S2 received sequences of interleaved received data samples respectively issued from S2 physical channels and to be associated with S1 output transport channels is provided. The S2 received sequences have been delivered, before transmission by a two-stage multi-interleaving device, from S1 initial sequences of ordered data samples respectively associated to S1 initial transport channels. The two-stage multi-interleaving device includes a first stage including S1 interleaving blocks respectively associated to the S1 initial transport channels, a second stage including S2 interleaving blocks respectively associated to the S2 physical channels, and an inter-stage of predetermined data-routing functions connected between the first and second stages.

Abstract:
A system and method is provided for estimating a sequence of N bits ({circumflex over (x)}0{circumflex over (x)}1 . . . {circumflex over (x)}N−1) corresponding to a received sequence of M digital data (r0r1 . . . rM−1). The method includes determining candidate sequences of MRS digital data from a reduced reference sequence space comprising 2NRS reduced reference sequences of MRS reference digital data (s0s1 . . . sMRS−1), MRS being less than M, and 2NRS being less than or equal to 2N. The method further includes making up each candidate sequence with remaining reference symbols to obtain at least one complete candidate sequence of M digital data, and determining the sequence of N bits ({circumflex over (x)}0{circumflex over (x)}1 . . . {circumflex over (x)}N−1) from the complete candidate sequences.
Abstract:
A ARQ actions taken in the data link layer control (DLC) in a wireless communications system for data transmission is implemented by using the HiperLAN/2 protocol that has a selective retransmission process to complete bitmaps when there are errors in data unit transmissions. More particularly it pertains to adaptive allocation of ARQ feedback bandwidth to economize on the use of bandwidth. This is achieved by informing the scheduler of the status of received and non-received data units at the receiver to allow adaptive ARQ feedback bandwidth during data transmission. The information about the status of data units at the receiver is provided by the ABIR flag contained in the ARQ feedback message. If there are many unacknowledged messages of,data units, the ABIR flag is set and the scheduler increases bandwidth to accommodate the traffic of retransmitted messages that were omitted. When the situation has returned to normal, that is, there are minimal messages waiting to be retransmitted the ABIR flag is set to null and no added bandwidth is assigned. This technique can be used also to find the lowest level of bandwidth by decreasing bandwidth until there is a backup in traffic of retransmissions and increasing bandwidth at that time.
