摘要:
A radio communication system (100) implements a frequency reuse plan by sending a message (308) simultaneously with other messages in a plurality of cell clusters (202-208) utilizing the frequency reuse plan, which provides a message carrier-to-interference ratio (C/I) sufficient for reception of the message when a receiver (104) is adjusted in accordance with a periodically transmitted pilot symbol (402-408). The C/I is smaller than preferred for reception of the pilot symbol. The pilot symbol is periodically transmitting simultaneously with other pilot symbols in a time diverse manner such that pilot symbol transmissions for adjacent ones of the plurality of cell clusters occur in non-overlapping time slots, thereby generating the larger C/I preferred for reception of the pilot symbol. The pilot symbol and the message are received by the receiver, and the receiver is adjusted in accordance with the pilot symbol to demodulate the message.

A method and system for wireless communications between base and mobile stations use reference signals transmitted from base stations prior transmission of data signals. The reference signals are used to determine propagation characteristics of communication channels between the base and mobile stations and optimize, in real time, parameters of receivers of the mobile stations for processing the following data signals. Applications of the invention include wireless communication systems compliant with OFDMA, 3GPP LTE, RFN-OFDMA, OFDM, TDMA, and the like communication protocols.

A method for processing a plurality of symbol streams is provided. The method includes receiving a first symbol stream, wherein the first symbol stream has a corresponding first number of retransmissions. The method further includes receiving a second symbol stream, wherein the second symbol stream has a corresponding second number of retransmissions. The method further includes selecting the first symbol stream for decoding, if the first number of retransmissions is greater than the second number of retransmissions.
摘要:
A technique for calibrating a transceiver of a wireless communication device includes selectively coupling an output node of a transmitter of the transceiver to an input node of a receiver of the transceiver. A calibration signal is provided, from the output node of the transmitter, to the input node of the receiver. The calibration signal is down-converted, with the receiver, to provide a down-converted calibration signal. A discrete Fourier transform is performed on the down-converted calibration signal. Finally, one or more correction factors are determined based on an analysis of the discrete Fourier transform of the down-converted calibration signal. At least one of the correction factors is utilized to facilitate substantial cancellation of a direct current offset associated with the transceiver.
摘要:
Spread spectrum packet-switching radio devices (22) are operated in two or more ad-hoc networks or pico-networks (19, 20, 21) that share frequency-hopping channel and time slots that may collide. The frequency hopping sequences (54) of two or more masters (25) are exchanged using identity codes, permitting the devices to anticipate collision time slots (52). Priorities are assigned to the simultaneously operating piconets (19, 20, 21) during collision slots (52), e.g., as a function of their message queue size or latency, or other factors. Lower priority devices may abstain from transmitting during predicted collision slots (52), and/or a higher priority device may employ enhanced transmission resources during those slots, such as higher error correction levels, or various combinations of abstinence and error correction may be applied. Collisions are avoided or the higher priority piconet (19, 20, 21) is made likely to prevail in a collision.
摘要:
A technique for performing channel tracking and/or channel estimation in a wireless communication device includes receiving a reference signal and one or more non-error propagation physical channel signals. In general, the one or more non-error propagation physical channel signals must be correctly decoded before a data channel can be decoded. Channel tracking and/or channel estimation are/is then performed based on the reference signal and at least one of the one or more non-error propagation physical channel signals.
摘要:
A comparator (231) for determining a peak number, representing a maximum or minimum of a set of numbers, includes a multi-element comparator (232) for comparing different pages of the set of numbers in a page comparison mode to output a candidate set of winning numbers, and for automatically switching to a leaf/tree search of the candidate set of winning numbers in an element comparison mode. Operating in parallel with the multi-element comparator (232), an index generation unit (233) processes flag/sign bits from the multi-element comparator in conjunction with state machine control logic (230) to keep track of the index/indices for the peak value. Upon completion of final stage, the index generation unit returns the absolute index (235) of the peak value.
