摘要:
A Hybrid IMMSE-LMMSE receiver processing technique predicts performance of and selects between iterative and non-iterative decoding of symbols based on an intelligent metric. Based on a pre-specified criterion, the receiver determines if a correct first-stage decision is made or not. If a correct decision is made, then it follows iterative processing like in BLAST. Alternatively, if a wrong decision is found to have occurred, the receiver resorts to LMMSE estimation processing.
摘要:
A resynchronization method for use in a data communication system having a first device configured to transmit data at a symbol rate to a second device. The second device includes a Reed Solomon (RS) decoder having a RS lock indicator and a Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG) Protocol Interface (MPI) having a MPI lock indicator, wherein the RS and the MPI lock indicators are monitored. Four different states, defined by the values of the RS and MPI lock indicators, determine whether the data communication system will wait for the RS decoder and the MPI hardware block to resynchronize, whether an intermediate-subset of the channel acquisition algorithm is performed or whether the entire channel acquisition algorithm is performed. The method for resynchronization described herein recovers synchronization within a predetermined time without the layers above the physical link layer having knowledge.
摘要:
A device and a method of characterizing a communications channel. The method includes transmitting a first part of a packet preamble using two or more antennas and transmitting a second part of the packet preamble using the two or more antennas. Each antenna transmits an orthogonal encoding of the second part of the packet preamble. The method also includes transmitting a packet header using the two or more antennas and transmitting a packet payload using the two or more antennas. Each antenna transmits an orthogonal encoding of the packet header. The packet payload may be encoded across the transmissions of the two or more antennas.
摘要:
An apparatus (100) for computing the absolute value of a complex number includes separate squaring units (110, 115) for the real and imaginary parts. A square root unit (130) extracts the square root of the sum (120) of these squares, which is absolute value of the complex number. Each squaring unit includes one unsigned multipliers for respective least significant and two signed multipliers for respective most significant bits and a cross term. The products are aligned by shifting and summed. The square root unit employs identical processing elements, each considering two bits of the input and forming one root bit and a remainder. Each processing element compares two intermediate test variables, and selects a “1” or “0” for the root bit and the next remainder based upon this comparison. A chain of processing elements enables computation of the root to the desired precision. Alternatively, the same processing elements may be used in a recirculating manner.

In a wireless MIMO system with interference cancellation, compensate for decision errors in the cancelled symbols by adjustments to the scaling of the soft estimates with additive interference-proportional to estimates of the decision error probability.

For use with a multiple-input, multiple-output (MIMO) transmitter, a signal field controller, a method of controlling signal fields and a MIMO transmitter incorporating the controller or the method. In one embodiment, the controller includes: (1) a primary signal field mode indicator configured to cause a primary signal field to indicate a presence of a supplemental signal field and provide the primary signal field to the MIMO transmitter for transmission thereby and (2) a supplemental signal field generator coupled to the primary signal field mode indicator and configured to provide a supplemental signal field to the MIMO transmitter for further transmission thereby only when the primary signal field indicates the presence.
摘要:
A method of determining CPS data in an OFDM-based, wireless communication system resolves the phase angle difference between training tones in a burst without CPS data and training tones in a burst with CPS data and then demodulates the resulting difference phase angles to determine the CPS data. The method achieves timing correction/compensation in CPS decode operations associated with OFDM-based, wireless communication systems.
