    摘要: In accordance with a method for identifying a preamble sequence and for estimating an integer carrier frequency offset, a signal that comprises a preamble sequence from a set of possible preamble sequences is received. A reduced set of integer carrier frequency offset (CFO) candidates may be determined. Cross-correlation operations may be performed with respect to the received signal and multiple candidate transmitted signals. Each candidate transmitted signal may include one of the set of possible preamble sequences. In addition, each candidate transmitted signal may correspond to one of the reduced set of integer CFO candidates. Multiple correlation values may be determined as a result of the cross-correlation operations. The correlation values may be used to identify the preamble sequence and to estimate the integer CFO.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for decoding encoded data bits of a wireless communication transmission are provided. A set of a-priori bit values corresponding to known bit values of the encoded data bits may be generated. Decoding paths that correspond to decoded data bits that are inconsistent with the a-priori bit values may be removed from the possible decoding paths to consider, and decoding the encoded data bits by selecting a decoding path from remaining decoding paths of the possible decoding paths that were not removed. Multiple hypotheses, each corresponding to a different set of a-prior bit values may be evaluated, with the decoded data for a hypothesis selected based on the evaluation output for further processing.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for channel estimation in wireless communications are provided. After an initial channel estimation and an estimation of the effective channel length (ECL) are performed, a weighting based on the ECL may be applied in an effort to remove noise from the initial channel estimate and provide an estimated channel with increased accuracy. Different weightings may apply for different channel lengths. A threshold may be used during the ECL estimation, and the threshold may be predetermined or calculated in an effort to adapt to different channel environments.

    摘要: An apparatus and a method can improve the performance of a smart antenna system for signal processing in the frequency domain. The method includes: performing Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) on a plurality of incoming signals received through antennas according to a predetermined FFT window; detecting a boundary of an OFDM symbol and setting the FFT window with a margin as large as a predetermined FFT window offset with reference to the detected symbol boundary; receiving the FFT window offset and generating an FFT window calibration signal; and multiplying the FFT-processed incoming signals by the FFT window calibration signal. The method can improve the reception performance of a base station by compensating for the multi-path channel by using an RX FEQ coefficient obtained by a receiver of a terminal as an FEQ weight of a transmitter of the terminal. Further, the method can generate a uniform non-directional beam by generating a variable omni-directional beam pattern in a smart antenna system.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for combining retransmitted hybrid automatic repeat-request (HARQ) messages at different stages in an OFDM/OFDMA receiver are provided. A combination of different types of HARQ combiners may be designed into the receiver and selected on a per-channel basis. Proper selection of a HARQ combining scheme may reduce the required HARQ buffer size and may provide an increased combining gain when compared to conventional HARQ combining techniques. Furthermore, the HARQ combiner type may be dynamically selected through forward and reverse shifting between the different types of HARQ combining schemes in an effort to decrease the bit error ratio (BER) without saturating the HARQ buffer.

    摘要: Providing for reduced complexity or improved accuracy in de-mapping received wireless data streams for multi-channel wireless communication is described herein. By way of example, a low-complexity likelihood algorithm can be employed to de-map data bits from the wireless data streams. In one particular example, the likelihood algorithm can approximate a received bit with a subset of received wireless symbols correlated the bit, reducing algorithm complexity. In other examples, a limited set of received wireless symbols can be employed for the subset, further reducing algorithm complexity. According to at least one other example, logarithmic terms of the algorithm can be approximated with non-logarithmic functions, such as a look-up table, series expansion, polynomial approximation, or the like. These approximations can enhance symbol de-mapping accuracy while maintaining or improving processing overhead for a wireless receiver.
