摘要:
An apparatus for dynamic diversity signal reception based upon receiver-side link quality assessments includes two or more antennae. At least one switch is connected to the two or more antennae. A dynamic diversity controller is connected to the at least one switch. The dynamic diversity controller includes a link quality assessor to assess link quality and generate a link characterization value. A diversity configuration selector, responsive to the link characterization value, selectively activates the at least one switch to implement a dynamic diversity configuration. The link quality assessor includes a signal strength analyzer, a modem detector, and/or a MAC layer analyzer to assess the received signal and generate the link characterization value.

摘要:
A wireless communication technique enables equalization, soft demapping and phase error estimation functions to be performed jointly based on multiple observations of a transmitted symbol in wireless communication systems employing receive diversity. Multiple observations of a symbol are obtained from multiple antenna paths in a wireless receiver. Equalization, soft demapping and phase error estimation functions can be integrated within shared hardware, rather than distributed among separate hardware blocks, promoting reduced size, complexity and cost in a wireless receiver.

Demodulation techniques for a wireless communication system make use of a decision feedback equalization (DFE) technique to mitigate the effects of multipath channel characteristics on receiver performance. The techniques may be particularly useful in the demodulation of complementary code keying (CCK) symbols. A demodulator that performs such techniques may include a time-variant or time-invariant matched filter, a feedback intersymbol interference (ISI) canceller, a transform unit, a phase rotation estimator and corrector, a pattern-dependent bias canceller, and a maximum picker for symbol decisions. The transform unit may include a bank of correlators, or alternatively a fast Walsh transform unit.

Digital communication signals that encode information in the phase may be susceptible to phase error from many sources. A device corrects for carrier and sampling phase errors, as well as additive phase noise. A digital phase locked loop simultaneously tracks the carrier phase error and the sampling phase error, and corrects the signal in the frequency domain. The device may use the sampling phase error to advance or delay the sampling window used to convert the signal from the time domain to the frequency domain.

A digital front-end for a wireless communication system incorporates gain control, signal detection, frame synchronization and carrier frequency offset (CFO) estimation and correction features configured for use with multiple receive antennas. The digital front-end may be applied to a wireless communication system in which transmitted signals carry a repeated signal pattern, such as orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems. An example of a repeated signal pattern is the preamble of a signal transmitted according to the IEEE 802.11a wireless local area network (WLAN) standard. The signal detection, frame synchronization, and CFO estimation techniques make use of signals received from multiple antenna paths to provide enhanced performance. The gain control feature may be configured to adjust the gain in steps. The frame synchronization technique may operate as a function of gain control, handling the input signal differently before and after gain adjustment.

摘要:
An apparatus and method for updating a check node of a low-density parity check (LDPC) code in order to decode the LDPC code are provided. The method includes the operations of: (a) obtaining a first bit of a first minimum value among input values, the number of input values being equal to the number of degrees of the check node, by performing an AND operation on first bits of the input values, the first bits being most significant bits of the input values; (b) obtaining result values by switching and sequentially performing an XOR operation and an OR operation on the first bit of the first minimum value and each of the first bits of the input values; and (c) performing operations (a) and (b) on the result values set as input values and performing operations (a) and (b) a number of times corresponding to the number of bits of each input value, that is, repeating until last bits are set as input values, to thereby obtain the first minimum value, the last bits being least significant bits of the input values. Accordingly, the complexity of hardware is reduced, and super high-speed processing is possible.
