摘要:
A gain controller for a wireless communication system sets the receiver gain during the initial time duration of a preamble, and for each subsequent symbol computes a new gain value, which is applied at the end of each symbol. An analog to digital converter resolution controller sets the resolution of the ADC to a high resolution during a preamble interval and a first symbol interval, and to a comparatively lower resolution thereafter until the end of the frame. When a new zone is entered, the first symbol of the new zone is sampled at a higher resolution than the subsequent symbols.

A channel smoothing filter with a finite impulse response (FIR) has a controller which reads parallel sample data out of an FFT memory in such a manner as to generate an even function, the sample data applied to a preamble equalizer accompanied by a preamble sign and zero, the preamble outputs coupled to three filter processors, each filter processor having four filter engines whose outputs are summed, the channel smoothing filter generating an a register output, the register input coupled to a summer which has as inputs: the first filter processor shifted by four, the second filter processor shifted by two, the third filter processor, and the register output. Coefficients for an edge filter and a central filter are provided in Zero Sign Shift (ZSS) format, and by selection of coefficients using a canonical signed digit (CSD) algorithm, no multipliers are required for the channel smoothing FIR filter.

A transmit filter for a stream of OFDM symbols has a remapper, Infinite Impulse Response (IIR) filter and a controller, the transmit filter operating on a stream of OFDM symbols. The transmit filter accepts symbols to be transmitted, the re-mapper re-orders them, the IIR filters the re-ordered stream, and a controller provides an output by rearranging the filtered symbols. The incoming symbol stream contains a series of symbols, each followed by a guard interval, where each guard interval has a first Tg symbol interval, and a second Tg symbol interval, the remapper generating a re-ordered stream having a first Tg symbol interval, a second Tg symbol interval and the symbol, the output of the IIR filter thereby generating a filtered first Tg symbol, a filtered second Tg symbol, and a filtered symbol, and the controller forms the transmit output by discarding the filtered first Tg symbol and outputting, in sequence, the filtered second Tg symbol, the filtered symbol, and a copy of the filtered second Tg symbol. The filtered second Tg symbol may be saved into a local buffer at the time it is initially output for use following the current symbol.

A wireless signal processor for use in identifying a maximum Carrier to Noise Interference Ratio (CINR) associated with a plurality of received OFDMA subcarriers has a candidate generator for forming a plurality of candidate values from a particular set of received subcarriers by forming candidate values based on the received subcarriers in combination with possible integer preamble offsets and possible preamble values. A candidate evaluator selects which of the possible preamble values and integer frequency offset values have the maximum CINR, and provides the maximum CINR with IFO and preamble index as outputs.

A filter for receiver and operative on a stream of OFDM symbols has a symbol timing identifier which indicates the time interval for each symbol and also indicates a non-truncation interval and a truncation interval of the stream of symbols. The stream of OFDM symbols is applied to an infinite impulse response (IIR) filter with a reset input for resetting internal registers such that during the non-truncation interval, the reset input is not asserted, and during the truncation interval of the stream of OFDM symbols, the reset input is asserted during the intervals between symbols, as identified by the symbol timing identifier.A transmit filter for a stream of OFDM symbols, each symbol being separated into a first Tg interval, a second Tg interval, a symbol interval, and a final Tg interval, the filter has a stream modifier which discards the first Tg interval, accepts said second Tg interval, accepts the symbol interval and discards said final Tg interval, presenting to an infinite impulse response filter, in sequence, the second Tg interval, the symbol interval and the second Tg interval.

A receive filter for a stream of OFDM symbols has an infinite impulse response (IIR) filter which receives packets having a preamble part followed by a data part, the data part having a succession of cyclic prefixes followed by OFDM symbols. The packet is provided to the IIR filter, and the registers of the IIR filter are reset before or during each cyclic prefix. The IIR filter may be formed from registers which are coupled to return a value to a predecessor register, or as an array of registers, such as in a BIQUAD configuration, where the registers are reset by a shared reset signal.
