摘要:
Apparatus and methods are described to perform inter carrier interference (ICI) reduction or cancellation in an orthogonal frequency domain multiplexing (OFDM) receiver. A first and a second stage of ICI cancellation may be performed before inputting an estimated transmitted data carrier for forward error correction. Forward error correction may include a signal re-correction and reconstruction of the estimated transmitted data carrier prior to a further stage of ICI cancellation.

According to various embodiments, apparatus and methods disclosed herein may be implemented in a digital communication (wired or wireless) receiver, and relate to minimizing noise in an estimated channel frequency response at the receiver for the purposes of channel equalization. The disclosed apparatus and methods may include determining a channel impulse response based on an estimated channel frequency response. The estimated channel frequency response, the channel impulse response, or both may include noise. An impulse response mask may be determined based on the channel impulse response, and further applied to the channel impulse response to obtain a noise-reduced channel impulse response, which may be Fourier transformed to obtain a noise-reduced channel frequency response.

Methods and systems to resolve cyclic ambiguity of a scattered-pilot based channel impulse response as a function of transmission parameter signalling (TPS), such as in a single frequency network, including to zero-pad a first orientation of the channel impulse response to an interval of an effective symbol duration of the multi-carrier signal, compute a channel frequency response from the zero-padded first orientation of the channel impulse response, and correlate components of the channel frequency response corresponding to frequencies of TPS carriers with raw channel frequency response data of obtained from the TPS carriers. Frequency response components of multiple zero-padded orientations of the channel impulse response may be correlated with the raw TPS carrier data to identify an optimum orientation of the channel impulse response. Frequency response components of subsequent zero-padded orientations may be iteratively computed from components of preceding orientations.

A channel estimator for use in a DVB-T system is capable of high Doppler performance without incurring restrictive delay spread limitations, in a hardware efficient manner. A first channel impulse response is generated that has ambiguity due to under-sampling in the frequency domain. A filter is then used to filter scattered pilots to generate a mask that is capable of resolving the ambiguities. In at least one approach, a finite impulse response filter is used during the mask generation process to generate a snapshot of the channel frequency response in non-real time. In another approach, an infinite impulse response filter is used during the mask generation process to generate a channel frequency response in real time.

Methods and systems to identify a codeword associated with samples of a signal from spectral content of the samples, and to estimate a frequency offset from the spectral contents. The samples may correspond to a physical layer header of a data frame. Modulation may be removed from the samples in accordance with each of a plurality of modulation sequences, each sequence associated with a corresponding codeword. Power levels in spectral contents of the modulation-removed samples are examined to identify a peak power level indicative of a match between a modulation sequence and the samples. The corresponding codeword is identified as being associated with the header, and transmission parameters associated with the identified codeword are used to decode a corresponding frame. An estimated frequency offset may be determined from a frequency associated with the peak power level.
摘要:
A mobile channel estimation algorithm is disclosed, for use in a DVB-H coded OFDM demodulator. The mobile channel estimation algorithm estimates the mobile channel transfer function, overcoming many of the delay spread limitations without using time filtering and without having to collect many OFDM symbols. Once the channel estimate has been found for each symbol, equalization and inter-carrier-interference cancellation may be carried out relatively easily using known methods. The mobile channel estimation algorithm may be used in DVB-H as well as in other areas of OFDM.
