摘要:
A method of data transmission over guard sub-carriers is provided in a multi-carrier OFDM system. Adjacent radio frequency (RF) carriers are used to carry radio signals transmitted through adjacent frequency channels. A plurality of guard sub-carriers between adjacent frequency channels are aligned and identified for data transmission in a pre-defined physical resource unit. The identified guard sub-carriers do not overlap with normal data sub-carriers of the radio signals transmitted through the adjacent frequency channels. At least one of the identified guard sub-carriers is reserved as NULL sub-carrier. A flexible multi-carrier transceiver architecture is also provided in a multi-carrier OFDM system. Different multi-carrier and/or MIMO/SISO data transmission schemes are implemented by adaptively reconfigure same hardware modules including common MAC layer module, physical layer entities, and RF entities. Furthermore, the flexible multi-carrier transceiver architecture can be used to support data transmission over guard sub-carriers.

A receiver for receiving a target signal complying with a specific communication specification comprising a specific spectrum characteristic includes a detecting module for detecting a packet of an input signal, a transforming unit for transforming the packet from a time domain to a frequency domain to derive a spectrum characteristic of the input signal, and a determining unit for determining whether the input signal is the target signal according to the spectrum characteristic of the input signal. Therefore, the proposed receiver is able to reduce packet miss rate and false alarm rate while robust to a severe channel condition, and achieve fast and accurate signal quality detection.

A frame synchronization method is disclosed. The method comprises correlating a stream with a pattern to generate a correlated result c(t). A first peak and a second peak are selected from the correlated result c(t), wherein the first peak is the peak with highest amplitude, and the second peak is the peak occurring later than the first peak with the second highest amplitude. The peak ratio of the two peaks is computed, and the position of the frame boundary is determined according to the ratio.

A communication device and a method of processing input data. The communication device, processing input data constituting at least one of data packet comprises a detection unit, an Automatic Gain Controller (AGC), a signal processor, a demodulator, a pre-detection module, and a Baseband module. The detection unit receives the input data to perform the packet detection. The Automatic Gain Controller, coupled to the detection unit, generates an adjusted data and a gain control parameter once packet is detected. The signal processor, coupled to the AGC, performs the data signal processing includes at least one of analog to digital transformation processing, radio frequency processing and baseband processing, and detects at least one of the desired signal, noise and interference. The demodulator, coupled to the signal processor, demodulates the processed data into a processed data according to at least one processing function of noise reduction, interference reduction, and signal compensation. The pre-detection module, coupled to the demodulator, determines whether a potential error has occurred in the demodulated input data by a pre-detection method prior completing retrieval of the data packet for performing a packet-based error check sequence, and performs a selection to decide whether the components need to be terminated and which of the components need to be terminated if there is a potential error occurred on the demodulated input data. The Baseband module, coupled to the demodulator, performs a packet-based error check on the data packet upon completing retrieval of the data packet if there is no potential error occurred on the demodulated input data.
