    Abstract: An apparatus for transmitting a bit in addition to a plurality of payload data symbols of a communication protocol is provided. The apparatus comprises an input interface configured to receive information about a bit value of the bit. Further, the apparatus comprises a transmission circuit configured to, if the bit value is a first value, transmit the plurality of payload data symbols at predetermined positions in a data signal as pulses of variable pulse length. The respective pulse length of each of the pulses is selected based on the symbol value of the payload data symbol represented by the respective pulse. If the bit value is a second value, the transmission circuit is configured to transmit a pulse exhibiting a pulse length being longer than a maximum payload data symbol pulse length defined in the communication protocol at the predetermined position of the pulse for the d-th payload data symbol of the plurality of payload data symbols, d=k+i if k+i≤z. d=([k+i] mod z) if k+i>z. k is the symbol value of the i-th payload data symbol of the plurality of payload data symbols, z is the number of possible symbol values of the payload data symbols defined in the communication protocol, and 1≤i≤z.

    Abstract: A radio-head apparatus can comprise memory to store dithering information of the apparatus. The radio-head can further include radio-head circuitry to generate a clock signal according to the dithering information and to provide a wakeup signal, subsequent to commencement of clock signal generation, to instruct a secondary RH to use the clock signal of the RH. The same wakeup signal is also used to synchronize the finite state machines of both RHs that govern and report the dithering information. Synchronization of the FSM allows estimation of information to be used in the secondary RH for compensation of the clock dithering applied in the primary RH. Other systems and apparatuses are described.

    Abstract: Logic for direct current (DC) estimation of a wireless communication packet. Logic may determine a first DC estimation based upon a first set of sequences in a preamble of the wireless communication packet. Logic may determine a second DC estimation based upon a second set of sequences in the preamble. Logic may select one of the DC estimations based upon a frequency-offset estimation. Logic may remove one of the DC estimations from the packet. Logic to null DC bins that result from a Fourier transform of the packet to mitigate transmitter DC bias. And logic to determine a correction for the packet based upon a difference between a predetermined guard interval value and a received guard interval value and to apply the correction to the packet.

    Abstract: A TDC circuit configured to receive a reference clock (REF) signal and a signal derived from a LO; generate a plurality of digital values indicative of a measured phase difference between the signal derived from the LO and the REF signal, wherein each of the plurality of digital values are determined from a unique set of a plurality of sets of TDC measurement component quantization levels; generate a combined series of quantization levels based on a combination of the plurality of sets of TDC measurement component quantization levels; and determine a combined digital value from the combined series of quantization levels and at least one of the plurality of digital values to generate an output of the TDC circuit. The combined series of quantization levels may be generated by summing simultaneously occurring levels of each of the plurality of sets of TDC measurement component quantization levels together.

    Abstract: For example, a phase shifter may include an input to receive an input clock signal having an input frequency and an input phase. For example, the phase shifter may include a quadrature phase-shift generator configured to generate a first signal and a second signal based on the input clock signal, the first and second signals having the input frequency, wherein a phase of the first signal is based on the input phase, wherein a phase of the second signal is shifted by a quadrature phase-shift relative to the phase of the first signal. For example, the phase shifter may include an output to provide an output based on the first signal and the second signal.
