摘要： 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.

摘要： Methods and systems to compute likelihood measures of demodulated, complex-coordinate data points, to and dynamically scale the likelihood measures as a function of a channel statistic, and to decode the data points from the scaled likelihood measures. Likelihood measures may be computed relative to all points, or a subset of points of a reference constellation, such as a subset of one or more nearest constellation points. Likelihood measures may be scaled as a function of a channel frequency response variance amongst a plurality of carriers, such as carriers of an OFDM signal, and/or as a function of a channel impulse response variance.

摘要： Apparatuses, systems, and methods that employ conditional probabilities to calculate phase errors are disclosed. For a received signal, the embodiments may develop several phase error estimates relative to each point of a constellation, the number and location of points of the constellation depending on the modulation technique of the received signal. In addition to calculating the phase error estimates, the embodiments may also calculate weights, or probabilities, associated with each of the estimates. The embodiments may use the estimates and the weights to calculate a composite phase error estimate. The composite phase error estimate may be used to correct the received signal and eliminate or reduce the impact of the phase error.

摘要： Embodiments of a broadcast receiver and method for optimizing a scale factor in a log-likelihood ratio (LLR) mapper are generally described herein. In some embodiments, the broadcast receiver includes an LLR mapper to generate LLRs from demodulated data samples, a low-density parity-check (LDPC) decoder to generate decoded data from the LLRs, and an LLR optimizer to dynamically select a scale factor for the LLR mapper based on a number of iterations for convergence of the LDPC decoder. In some embodiments, the LLR optimizer iteratively revises the scale factor during receipt of broadcast signals until the number of iterations of the iterative decoder is either minimized for convergence or minimized for convergence failures.
