摘要:
In embodiments, user equipment (UE) is configured to acquire automatic gain control (AGC) of an analog RF front end by maintaining a plurality of M×N AGC loops in which the output of the power detector drives input of a gain state machine after a predetermined delay. Each of the loops corresponds to a different periodic set of tasks of (1/M) subframe in length. In each of the loops, the gain is determined by a power measurement taken ((M×N)+1) tasks ago. A synchronization signal, such as a Primary Synchronization Signal, occurs early in Time Division Duplex (TDD) subframes that follow selected downlink subframes. The periodicity of the selected subframes is N. This allows the UE to converge on proper AGC gain for downlink subframes through a relatively short search, such as a binary search. The UE can then decode the synchronization signal and acquire network timing.

A multi-stage interference suppression receiver includes a short equalizer section configured to operate on a first portion of a received signal received over a channel to produce a first equalized signal and a first estimate of the channel, a channel estimator section configured to operate on the first equalized signal to produce a second equalized signal, the channel estimator section comprising a linear estimator and a non-linear estimator, a long equalizer section configured to operate on a second portion of the received signal to produce a first estimate of symbols in the received signal and a second estimate of the channel and an interference canceller section configured to operate on the first estimate of symbols in the received signal to generate a second estimate of symbols in the received signal based on, at least in part, the second estimate of the channel.

In embodiments, a fast Fourier transform (FFT) engine includes a series of stages, each stage containing a butterfly and a data normalization device configured to scale output of the stage's butterfly. The scaling factors are adjusted, for example, periodically or on as-needed basis, so that the dynamic range of the butterflies and the buffers is increased for a given bit-width, or the bit-width of these devices is decreased for the same dynamic range. Additionally, bit-width of other buffer(s) is decreased because of the scaling of the data.
摘要:
A method for sending an acknowledgment message in a wireless communication system is disclosed. A first signal is received before receiving a second signal from a transmitter. Decoded first data is extracted from the first signal. A third signal is produced by encoding and modulating the decoded first data. The second signal is demodulated to produce second symbols. The third signal and the second symbols are correlated.

An improved processing engine for performing Fourier transforms includes an instruction processor configured to process sequential instruction software commands and a Fourier transform engine coupled to the instruction processor. The Fourier transform engine is configured to perform Fourier transforms on a serial stream of data. The Fourier transform engine is configured to receive configuration information and operational data from the instruction processor via a set of software tasks.
摘要:
An apparatus and method for enhanced downlink processing of received channels in a mobile communications system is described, containing a buffer for control data and traffic data, a demapper engine with at least two independently operating demappers for demapping the control and traffic data, a log-likelihood-ratio (LLR) buffer for supporting memory segments accessible by the demapper engine, a decoder engine containing decoders, each of the decoders operating on data from selected memory segment(s) of the LLR buffer, and an arbitrator providing control of at least one of the demapper engine, LLR buffer, and decoder engine. At least one of the decoders is suited for decoding control data and another one of the decoders is suited for decoding traffic data. By partitioning the decoding as such, an increase in downlink throughput can be obtained.
摘要:
Systems and methods for computing log likelihood ratios in a communication system are described. A demodulated symbol may be received. A set of scalars may be determined based on a modulation order, a signal-to-noise ratio for the symbol, and a bit of the symbol. At least one log likelihood ratio for the bit may be approximated using a piecewise linear process based on the scalars and the symbol.
