    摘要: Complex-valued waveform samples in time-domain, frequency-domain and spatial-domain are organized into a plurality of dimensions. A vector of complex-valued samples is extracted from a multidimensional sample buffer. An input transform is applied to a vector of complex-valued samples to produce two vectors of real-valued samples. Each real-valued sample vector is processed to produce a two-dimensional codebook matrix and to generate a vector of indices into the columns of the generated codebook. The two indices vectors are merged to produce an encoded index stream. The encoded index stream along with the two codebooks is used to produce real-valued sample vectors. An output transform is applied to two real-valued sample vectors to produce a vector of complex-valued samples.

    摘要: A plurality of radar sensors and radio units are controlled and processed by a signal processing unit (SPU). Each radar sensor receives configuration, control, power management, and calibration messages along with compressed data stream for transmission from the SPU over a multi Giga-bit interface (MGBI). Each radar sensor transmits status messages and compressed received data stream to the SPU over an MGBI. The SPU performs radar signal processing and tracking upon decompressing the data stream received from the radar sensor. Each radio unit receives configuration, control, power management, and calibration messages along with compressed frequency-domain waveform samples for each transmitter antenna port and for each component carrier configured by the SPU over an MGBI. Each radio unit transmits status messages along with compressed calibration data and compressed frequency-domain waveform samples for each receive antenna port and for each component carrier configured by the SPU over an MGBI. The SPU decompresses the frequency-domain waveform samples, and performs radio baseband signal processing including channel estimation, transmit beamforming, and receive beamforming. The SPU establishes and maintains time synchronization with each radar sensor and radio unit connected to it over an MGBI.

    摘要: Radar signal processing is performed using a plurality of signal processing units onboard a radar sensor unit. One of the signal processing units is designated as the primary processor whereas the remaining signal processing units are designated as secondary processors. Secondary processors, based on their configuration and capability, perform a subset of radar signal processing tasks. Secondary processors transmit a compressed bit stream of their partially processed results to the primary processor. The primary processor decompresses the bit streams received from a plurality of secondary processors, incorporates the partially processed results from a plurality of secondary processors with its locally processed results, performs final detections, and sends the final detections to a remote processor. When secondary processors perform detections in range, Doppler, and angle domains, and sends those to the primary processor, the primary processor employs consensus detection to produce final detections.

    摘要: Multi-channel compressed analog-to-digital (ADC) samples along with compressed calibration data received from the radar unit are de-compressed on the centralized signal processing unit prior to calibration compensation and DC-offset removal. Time-domain samples on each antenna channel are processed into range-domain samples and range-Doppler samples using windowing and FFT operations. For each range-domain sample, angle-domain samples are generated by performing windowing and angle-domain FFT operation over antenna channels. Joint object detection is performed separately on de-compressed ADC samples, range-domain samples, range-Doppler samples, or range-angle samples to provide detection metrics and confidence levels for each detected object.

    摘要: The first and second nodes in a wireless network estimate first and second channel response. The first node quantizes the first channel response to produce a first bit sequence, and a feed-forward message, which is transmit as a feed-forward message to the second node. The second node quantizes the second channel response using the feed-forward message to produce and an estimate of the first bit sequence, a second bit sequence and a feed-back message, which is transmitted to the first node. Then, the first and second nodes delete bits in the respective bit sequences using the feed-back and feed-forward message to generate first and second private keys with low bit mismatch rate.

    摘要: A set of data symbols is selected from a set of modulation constellation, and a sample-mean of the set of data symbols is determined. Each data symbol is first shifted by the sample-mean to obtain a shifted data symbol, and then the shifted symbol is multiplied by a first constant to obtain a scaled data symbol. A second constant is added to the scaled data symbol to obtain a mapped data symbol. The sample-mean is multiplied by a third constant to obtain a sample-mean mapped symbol. The set of mapped data symbols and the sample-mean mapped symbol are then transmitted as a resource block.

    摘要: Interference in a received orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbol, modulated according to selected constellation points sk, is reduced. The symbol includes a set of pilot signals and a set of data signals yk, where k is a number of consecutive subcarriers used for the pilot and the data signals. The pilot signals are thresholded to detect interfering pilot signals, which are then erased. Channels Ĥk are estimated using remaining pilot signals. The set of data signals are decoded based on the estimated channels Ĥk, and, for each bit bi in the set of data signals, a logarithmic likely ratio (LLR) log ⁢ ∑ s k : b i = 0 ⁢ 1  y k - H ^ k ⁢ s k  2 ∑ s k : b i = 1 ⁢ 1  y k - H ^ k ⁢ s k  2 is determined.

    摘要: A method estimates the time-of-arrival (ToA) of signals received via multipath channels. The received signal of a number of trials is first passed through a band-pass filter and then sampled. The presence of a channel tap within a time window is estimated by comparing a threshold to a largest eigenvalue of the covariance matrix of a time window. The signal samples are used to calculated a band region of a complete covariance matrix. After the band region has been updated for all signal samples, the covariance matrices for a moving window can be extracted from the band region. The ToA is estimated as the ending time of the leading window, which is the earliest window, such that the largest eigenvalue is larger than a given threshold.

    摘要: Time-varying and frequency-selective channels in an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) network are estimated by first storing, in a buffer at a receiver, a received signal corresponding to a set of pilot tones of a set of OFDM symbols. The pilot tones are predetermined and inserted in frequency subcarriers and time slots of the OFDM symbol. A covariance matrix of the received signal is estimated. A diagonal matrix is estimated based on the covariance matrix and a variance of noise in the received signal. The diagonal matrix indicates delays of non-zero paths in a time domain. A channel impulse response (CIR) for each OFDM symbol is estimated using the diagonal matrix, and the received signal. Then, the CIR is transformed to the frequency domain to obtain the channel frequency response (CFR).
