    摘要: A detector system employing a Viterbi algorithm includes an apparatus and method which constructs a double-state trellis structure for determining a most likely received symbol sequence with respect to an observed sequence of channel output samples. In the double state trellis, pairs of states are identified having equivalent branch metric values which also have a same decision during a path select, thus allowing these pairs of states to share a compare operation of a previous state metric. Consequently, to calculate an updated or current state metric value, an add, compare and select (ACS) circuit may compare only the previous state metric values to determine a minimum value for a transition between two states while combining each previous state metric value with its corresponding branch metric to provide an updated or current state metric value.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus for spatial multiplexing in a closed-loop Multi Input Multi Output (MIMO) system are provided. In a method of operating a receiver in an MIMO system, a signal transmitted by a transmitter is received. Blockwise-Orthogonalized Spatial Multiplexing (B-OSM) is performed on the received signal. Feedback information determined by performing the B-OSM on the received signal is fed back to the transmitter.

    摘要: A maximum a posteriori (MAP) processor employs a block processing technique for the MAP algorithm to provide a parallel architecture that allows for multiple word memory read/write processing and voltage scaling of a given circuit implementation. The block processing technique forms a merged trellis with states having modified branch inputs to provide the parallel structure. When block processing occurs, the trellis may be modified to show transitions from the oldest state at time k−N to the present state at time k. For the merged trellis, the number of states remains the same, but each state receives 2N input transitions instead of the two input transitions. Branch metrics associated with the transitions in the merged trellis are cumulative, and are employed for the update process of forward and backward probabilities by the MAP algorithm. During the update process, the read/write operation for an implementation transfers N words of length N for each update operation, but the frequency (and hence, number) of update operations is reduced by a factor of N. Such voltage scaling and multiple word memory read/write may provide reduced power consumption for a given implementation of MAP processor in, for example, a DSP.

    摘要: The present invention is a method and system for generating soft outputs by taking advantage of the fact that, in PR channels, there exists a set of error event sequences that occurs more often than others. This results in a soft output extractor with significantly lower complexity than the prior art SOVA system. Minimum distance error event sequences are identified and soft information or bit reliabilities are extracted from the PR channel based on the identified sequences. The soft information is then used by an iterative error control decoder correct errors more efficiently.
