摘要： A method and apparatus for detecting symbols in a Multiple-Input Multiple-Output Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (“MIMO-OFDM”) system. A MIMO-OFDM receiver includes a first detector that estimates a symbol of a first MIMO-OFDM sub-carrier and a second detector that estimates a symbol of a second MIMO-OFDM sub-carrier. The second detector differs in complexity from the first detector. A detector control block is coupled to the detectors. The detector control block assigns the first detector to process the first MIMO-OFDM sub-carrier and assigns the second detector to process the second MIMO-OFDM sub-carrier. The detector control block computes a list metric for a sub-carrier. Based on the list metric the detector control block assigns a candidate symbol list length to the detector processing the sub-carrier. Alternately, the detector control block assigns one of a variety of detector types to a sub-carrier based on the sub-carrier list metric.

摘要： A method and system for performing Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (“MIMO”) detection that reduces complexity by decomposing MIMO detection problem into two less complex problems, Candidate List generation and Interference Cancellation (“CLIC”). Embodiments of the CLIC framework parse an N element channel output into a first set containing S elements and a second set containing N−S elements. A first list of candidate vectors is generated from the first set of elements. A set of interference cancelled elements is generated by using the first list of candidate vectors to cancel interference from the second set of elements. A second list of candidate vectors is generated from the set of interference cancelled elements. A minimum cost is computed for each bit of the candidate vectors and from the costs a log-likelihood ratio is computed.

摘要： A method and system for estimating noise variance. A method for noise variance estimation comprises receiving a first multi-sample symbol and receiving a second multi-sample symbol. The first multi-sample symbol is subtracted from the second multi-sample symbol to produce a set of noise samples. The set of noise samples is used to produce a noise variance estimate. The noise variance estimate is applied in various tasks (e.g. channel estimation, log-likelihood ratio computation, and/or minimum mean squared error equalization) to process data provided to a user.

摘要： Embodiments of the invention provide a system and method of hybrid automatic repeat-request (HARQ) processing. A viterbi decoder is coupled to and follows a descrambler. After the signal has been de-scrambled, it can be stored in a memory in case it needs to be recombined with another packet. This means that the log-likelihood ratios LLRs for each transmitted bit are stored in memory using a finite number of bits (for example, between 4 and 12 bits). If the packet that is currently being processed contains retransmitted information, then the de-scrambled output stored from a previous packet containing the same information can be loaded and combined with the current packet.

摘要： Embodiments provide a system and method for efficiently classifying different channel types in an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system. Embodiments quantify the frequency selectivity in a channel by measuring the variation in a particular channel statistic across sub-carriers in an OFDM system, involve minimal complexity in implementation, and can be used in a variety of scenarios. One embodiment is a method for classifying channels in an OFDM system, comprising measuring variation of at least one channel statistic across sub-carriers, quantifying the variation to determine a measurement value, and applying the measurement value to at least one threshold to classify the channel.

摘要： Embodiments provide systems and methods for improved multiple-input, multiple-output (MIMO) detection comprising generating at least one list of candidate vectors by employing lattice enumeration which approximates hyperellipsoid detection search space and calculating a reliability of the candidate vectors. At least one advantage to embodiments is that improved detection occurs because detection can be performed in a search space defined by the eigenvectors (which define the general shape of an ellipsoid/hyperellipsoid, depending upon number of dimensions) and eigenvalues (which provide the appropriate scaling in each direction of the eigenvectors) of the effective channel.

摘要： Embodiments provide systems and methods for a novel multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) equalization technique that produces a channel matrix that contains partly real coefficients and partly complex coefficients, referred to herein as a hybrid-MIMO equalization. MIMO detectors can exploit the hybrid-MIMO equalization to reduce complexity. Some embodiments provide systems and methods for equalizing a communication channel comprising receiving as an input a channel output vector, dividing the input into two vectors, a first vector that remains a complex number and a second vector that contains only real numbers, separating the second vector into its real and imaginary components, and regrouping the first and second vectors into a hybrid channel output vector that contains both real and complex coefficients.
