    摘要: Systems and methods are provided for determining a channel quality indicator (CQI) in a transmission system associated with a diversity transmission scheme. A plurality of independent diversity branches are identified in the diversity transmission scheme. Each one of the independent diversity branches may correspond to a different portion of the effective channel and may include any suitable combination of frequency, time, and/or spatial components of the effective channel or of any wired or wireless paths or combinations of the same. An effective Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) value is computed for each one of the identified independent diversity branches. The computed effective SNR values are combined for the identified independent diversity branches to generate a CQI value.

    摘要: Systems and techniques for decoding are described. A described technique includes receiving coded bit streams that are differently encoded versions of an original bit stream, the coded bit streams including coded bits that are based on the original bit stream, where the coded bit streams have different encoding rates; identifying, within the coded bit streams, repeated coded bits of a coded bit of the coded bits that has been repeated N times; combining the coded bit streams to produce a combined bit stream by at least combining the repeated coded bits into a combined coded bit; determining, without multiplying by a normalization factor that is based on N, a bit metric for the combined coded bit that is a function of N; and decoding the combined bit stream by at least using the bit metric.

    摘要: Techniques are provided for detecting a coded signal in the presence of non-Gaussian interference. In an embodiment, a primary transmitter corresponds to a desired transmitter, and one or more secondary transmitters correspond to interfering transmitters. In an embodiment, received symbols, which include non-Gaussian interference and additive noise, are decoded to determine a set of message bits. In an embodiment, an estimate of the set of message bits may be determined using a minimum-distance detector or an optimal-ML detector, for example, depending on the signal-to-noise and/or signal-to-interference ratios at a receiver.

    摘要: Systems and methods are provided for channel estimation using linear phase estimation. These systems and methods enable improved channel estimation by estimating a linear channel phase between received pilot subcarrier signals. The estimated linear phase can then be removed from the received pilot subcarrier signals. After the estimated linear phase is removed from the received pilot subcarrier signals, a channel response can be estimated. A final estimated channel response can be generated by multiplying the results of the linear channel estimation by the estimated linear phase.

    摘要: Techniques are provided for detecting a coded signal in the presence of interference. In an embodiment, a primary transmitter corresponds to a desired transmitter, and one or more secondary transmitters correspond to interfering transmitters. Received symbols, which include interference and additive noise, are filtered to recover a set of original message bits. An estimate of the set of original message bits may be determined using an ordered successive interference cancellation (SIC) decoder that uses either a SIC detector or an AWGN-based detector, depending on the signal-to-interference ratio at a primary receiver.

    摘要: Systems and methods for detecting data in a multiple input/multiple output signal. The method includes receiving a first signal associated with a first data value and a second signal associated with a second data value. A distance value between the received second signal and each possible second data value is calculated. Coordinates for a hypothetical first signal in light of a first possible second data value are calculated, and the first coordinate value is quantized to a nearest constellation point. A distance value between the received second signal and each possible second data value is calculated using the calculated constellation points. A determination is made of a log-likelihood ratio based on the determined distance values.

A plurality of modified received signals are generated using the decoded information corresponding to the first layer and the plurality of received signals. Bit metric values are generated for a second layer using MIMO maximum likelihood (ML) demodulation and using the plurality of modified received signals and channel and modulation information for interfering signals. Information corresponding to the second layer is decoded using the generated bit metric values.

    摘要: Methods and systems are provided for searching for a codeword from a plurality of codewords in a codebook for use in precoding, for example, as used in a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) transmission system. Tree search and recursive algorithm techniques may be utilized to reduce the complexity and enhance the efficiency of the codebook search. Distance values may be determined between an optimal codeword and codewords in a codebook. The distance values may be accumulated for a group of the k-best codewords. Additionally or alternatively, a codeword from the codebook may be removed from consideration if the codeword meets a stop rule condition. A codeword may be selected from the codebook based on a minimum distance value from the optimal codeword.
