Abstract:
A communication device determines that a data rate of a data packet exceeds a threshold, and in response, lowers a processing speed of an equalizer device to prevent a buffer from overflowing. The buffer stores outputs generated by the equalizer device. A forward error correction code decoder device of the communication device processes outputs of the equalizer device corresponding to the data packet to generate decoded information corresponding to the data packet. The communication device transmits an acknowledgment packet to acknowledge the data packet such that transmission of the acknowledgment packet begins within required time period, defined by a communication protocol, after an end of the data packet.
Abstract:
In accordance with the teachings described herein, system and methods are provided for a GPS PRN code interpolation scheme with a reduced memory requirement. An example GPS receiver system may include a memory, a local PRN code generator, and an interpolator. The memory may be used to store GPS PRN code received from a global positioning satellite. The local PRN code generator generates a replica PRN code having a repeating code that includes at least a first epoch and a second epoch. The interpolator determines an offset point in the first epoch of replica PRN code and interpolates the replica PRN code at a predetermined sample rate to generate an interpolated replica PRN code for use in correlating with the GPS PRN code.

Abstract:
Systems, methods, and other embodiments associated with unified control of timing recovery and packet processing are described. According to one embodiment, a method for performing unified control of timing recovery and packet processing is provided. The method includes sampling a received signal according to an ADC timing signal to produce a sequence of samples. The received signal corresponds to a packet and was transmitted according to a transmit timing signal. The method includes determining a phase offset between the ADC timing signal and the transmit timing signal and identifying, based, at least in part, on the phase offset, a data portion of the sequence of samples that contains data encoded in the received signal. A re-generated sample sequence that adjusts the data portion based on the phase offset is calculated.
Abstract:
In a method for detecting a duplicate packet in a signal, the signal is received at a communication device. A carrier sense (CS) operation is performed, for each of a plurality of frequency bands, on the received signal. Performing a CS operation includes performing a respective autocorrelation on the received signal in a respective one of the plurality of frequency bands. A clear channel assessment (CCA) operation is performed, for each of the plurality of frequency bands, on the received signal. Performing a CCA operation on the received signal includes measuring a respective amount of energy in a respective one of the plurality of frequency bands. Whether the received signal corresponds to a packet duplicated in each of the plurality of frequency bands is determined based on the CS operations and the CCA operations.
Abstract:
A system includes a memory with columns and rows. A sampler samples a first portion of a signal during first periods to obtain sets of samples, respectively. The sets of samples include a first set having first samples and a second set having second samples. A first controller writes each set in the sets of samples in a respective one of the columns. The first controller writes: the first samples in a first column such that each of the first samples is stored in a respective one of the rows; the second samples in a second column such that each of the second samples is stored in a respective one of the rows; and the second samples in the second column subsequent to writing the first samples in the first column. A second controller reads third samples stored in a first row and fourth samples stored in a second row.

A radiofrequency system includes a plurality of transceivers providing a plurality of channels, and circuitry configured to perform off-channel functions. A first subset of channels performs radiofrequency communication functions, and a second subset of channels provides signals for the off-channel functions. The first subset of channels may be provided by a first subset of transceivers, and the second subset of channels may be provided by a second subset of transceivers. A spectrum sensing unit may select between the first subset of transceivers and the second subset of transceivers. The circuitry configured to perform the off-channel functions may use the second subset of the plurality of channels to perform neighborhood discovery. The circuitry configured to perform the off-channel functions may scan available communications channels for interference, storing identifications of interference-free channels, and, upon detection of interference on a channel in use, may select one of the interference-free channels.

Systems and methods described herein provides a method for dynamically allocating an iteration number for a decoder. The method includes receiving, at an input buffer, an input signal including at least one data packet. The method further includes calculating a first iteration number for decoding the at least one data packet. The method further includes monitoring at least one of available space of the input buffer and available decoding time for the at least one data packet. The method further includes dynamically adjusting the first iteration number to a second iteration number based on the available space or the available decoding time to continue decoding the at least one data packet.
Abstract:
Embodiments described herein provide systems for processing high efficiency SIGB (HE-SIGB) symbols and extracting resource unit (RU) information in down link orthogonal frequency division multiple access (DL-OFDMA) and multi-user multiple input multiple output (DL-MUMIMO) communication. An HE-SIGB symbol is processed based on an RU size mapping table. An RU counter is used to process entries in the RU size mapping table and determine the RU size and starting tone index of the intended RU. The RU parameters extracted from the HE-SIGB symbol are used to decode data symbols in the DL-OFDMA or DL-MUMIMO packet. Pilot tone indices of the intended User block and adjacent pilot tone indices are determined for improved carrier phase error estimation.
