Abstract:
A method of decoding a received systematic code encoded block corresponding to an original block of information, wherein the received systematic code encoded block may include soft systematic values, may include detecting an error condition in the received systematic code encoded block. The method may also include decoding the received systematic code encoded block for retrieving the original block of information if the error condition in the received systematic code encoded block is detected and processing the soft systematic values to retrieve the original block of information instead of the decoding if the error condition in the received systematic code encoded block is not detected.
Abstract:
Method for transmitting information in a multi-band OFDM system, comprising delivering according to a given communication standard an initial data stream (IDS), splitting (11) said initial data stream into a chosen number of elementary data streams and simultaneously transmitting (12) said elementary data streams according to said communication standard on said communication medium (MD) within different respective sub-bands (SBi). These sub-bands all blong to the same band group. Proposal based on the MBOA standard.

Abstract:
A wireless device belongs to a wireless communication system and exchanges information within at least one band of frequencies. A method includes detecting a presence of at least one victim device operating within the at least one band of frequencies. The first wireless device is provided with an antenna array, and the detecting step includes analyzing an environment of the wireless device through the antenna array, and if the at least one victim device is detected, reducing interference by controlling the antenna array to steer the antenna beam toward an area located outside a vicinity of the potential victim device to exchanging information within the at least one band of frequencies with at least a second wireless device located in the area.
Abstract:
A device for decoding an incident FEC encoded packet of data within an ARQ scheme. The device includes a processor or processing means for performing successive decoding processes of successive intermediate FEC code encoded packets related to the incident FEC code encoded packet. The processor or processing means includes a FEC decoder. The processor or processing means included a determination unit or determination means for determining initial decoding conditions from the FEC code decoding result concerning the preceding intermediate FEC code encoded packet and from the current intermediate FEC code encoded packet, and the FEC decoder is for performing the current FEC code decoding using the initial decoding conditions.
Abstract:
A method for blindly detecting a transport format of a convolutional encoded signal is provided. The transport format is unknown and belongs to a set of MF predetermined reference transport formats. The method includes decoding the convolutional encoded signal using a Maximum-a-Posteriori algorithm. The decoding includes considering the MF possible reference transport formats and delivering MF corresponding groups of soft output information, calculating from each group of soft output information a calculated cyclic redundancy check (CRC) word, and comparing the calculated CRC word with the transmitted CRC word. Groups are selected which the calculated CRC word is equal to the transmitted CRC word, and an actual transport format of the convolutional encoded signal is selected from at least one soft output information among last ones of each selected group.
Abstract:
The electrical consumption of a cellular mobile telephone is reduced by using fractional-division phase-locked loops receiving a frequency reference from a fairly inaccurate quartz oscillator. Electrical consumption is also reduced by switching the output of the oscillator onto the input of the processing stage when the transmission/reception stage is inactive. The fractional-division phase-locked loops can then be deactivated.
Abstract:
A remote terminal includes a receiver stage for receiving a transmitted signal and for delivering an analog signal. The remote terminal further includes an analog/digital converter for converting the analog signal to a digital signal, and a processing stage for processing the digital signal. The analog/digital converter is a delta-sigma converter having adjustable parameters, and the processing stage includes a tuning circuit for adjusting these parameters on the fly as a function of the transmission standard, of the actual rate of transmission of the useful data, and of the actual conditions of reception.

Abstract:
To control a decoding latency, larger blocks are nonequally segmented into smaller ones. The decoding process starts directly after reception of the first small block. The latency is defined by the latency of the last small block decoding. Changing the number of iterations during the turbo-code decoding also permits control of the decoding latency.
