摘要:
Adaptation is introduced into allocation of uplink and downlink subframes in wireless communication systems that support full-duplex and half-duplex mobile terminals, thus reducing interference between mobile terminals. In an exemplary method for allocating uplink and downlink timeslots in a wireless communication system supporting full-duplex and half-duplex mobile terminals, a base station determines that a mobile terminal is capable of only half-duplex operation and allocates one or more uplink subframes and one or more downlink subframes to the first mobile terminal, for each of a plurality of frames, so that none of the allocated uplink subframes overlaps in time with an allocated downlink subframe. The allocation of uplink subframes and downlink subframes is varied between consecutive ones in at least a first series of frames according to a pre-determined pattern. In some embodiments, the method further includes transmitting an allocation message to the first mobile terminal, designating the pre-determined pattern.

Decoding a received Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplex (OFDM) signal that occupies a first set of subcarriers in a radio frequency spectrum includes ascertaining an interference model that represents interference occurring in the first set of subcarriers caused by a transmitted OFDM signal that occupies a second set of subcarriers in the radio frequency spectrum. A set of scaled soft values is produced that represents information conveyed by the received OFDM signal over the first set of subcarriers, wherein each scaled soft value in the set of scaled soft values corresponds to a respective one of the subcarriers in the first set of subcarriers, and wherein a scaling amount applied to each of the scaled soft values is based on a corresponding level of interference in said respective one of the subcarriers as indicated by the interference model. A decoding process is performed that generates detected data from the scaled soft values.

A half-duplex mobile terminal having first and second receiver branches connected, during a receive mode, to respective antennas, is disclosed. One of the antennas is selectively connected to the first receiver branch or to a transmitter circuit. The first antenna is connected to the first receiver branch during a first interval, during which interval data is detected using outputs from both the first and second receiver branches. The first antenna is disconnected from the first receiver branch at the end of the first interval, and, during a second interval immediately following the first interval, data is detected using the output of the second receiver branch. A portion of the incoming transmission that arrives during the transition between the receive mode and transmit mode in a half-duplex transceiver is thus received and detected, improving performance of the half-duplex transceiver.

摘要:
A processing device (40) for processing an analog complex input signal generated by downconversion of an aggregated-spectrum radio-frequency signal in a radio-receiver (10), wherein the complex input signal comprises a plurality of sub bands (S1-S4) scattered across a total frequency band (4) of the complex input signal. The processing device (40) comprises a plurality of processing paths (P1-PN). wherein each processing path (P1-PN) is adapted to process an associated sub band (S1-S4). Each processing path comprises a complex mixer (CM1-CMN) adapted to frequency translate the complex input signal, and an analog channel-selection filter (CSF1-CSFN) arranged to filter an output signal of the complex mixer (CM1-CMN) and pass the frequency translated associated sub band (S1-S4). A control unit (60) is adapted to receive control data indicating frequency locations of the sub bands (S1-S4) and, for each processing path (P1-PN). control the local oscillator signal of the complex mixer (CM1-CMN) of the processing path (P1-PN) based on the frequency location of the associated sub band (S1-S4) and the passband of the channel-selection filter (CSF1-CSFN) of the processing path (P1-PN), such that the frequency-translated associated sub band (S1-S4) appears within a passband of the channel-selection filter (CSF1-CSFN) of the processing path (P1-PN). The distortion monitored in the unused paths may be used to improve the performance of the used paths.

摘要:
A combination of a phase shifter, a measurement receiver, and an offset estimator enable the d.c. offset in the transmit path of a quadrature transmitter to be distinguished from the d.c. offset in the measurement receiver. The measurement receiver performs a first measurement on the transmit path output with a “normal” phase shift of 0 degrees and 90 degrees for in-phase (I) and quadrature (Q) components, and a second measurement with a “special” phase shift for the I and Q components. In one embodiment, the “special” phase shift for the I and Q components is 180 degrees and 270 degrees, respectively.
