    摘要: Method and apparatus to enable I/O agents to perform atomic operations in shared, coherent memory spaces. The apparatus includes an arbitration unit, a host interface unit, and a memory interface unit. The arbitration unit provides an interface to one or more I/O agents that issue atomic transactions to access and/or modify data stored in a shared memory space accessed via the memory interface unit. The host interface unit interfaces to a front-side bus (FSB) to which one or more processors may be coupled. In response to an atomic transaction issued by an I/O agent, the transaction is forked into two interdependent processes. Under one process, an inbound write transaction is injected into the host interface unit, which then drives the FSB to cause the processor(s) to perform a cache snoop. At the same time, an inbound read transaction is injected into the memory interface unit, which retrieves a copy of the data from the shared memory space. If the cache snoop identifies a modified cache line, a copy of that cache line is returned to the I/O agent; otherwise, the copy of the data retrieved from the shared memory space is returned.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for combining retransmitted hybrid automatic repeat-request (HARQ) messages at different stages in an orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM)/orthogonal frequency-division multiple access (OFDMA) receiver are provided. The type of HARQ combiner used for a particular channel may depend on a number of selection criteria including the modulation order of the transmission, the number of bits needed for the combined signals, and the headroom in the HARQ buffer. For some embodiments, a combination of different types of HARQ combiners may be designed into a receiver and selected on a per-channel basis. Proper selection of a HARQ combining scheme may reduce the required HARQ buffer size and may provide an increased combining gain when compared to conventional HARQ combining techniques.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for combining retransmitted hybrid automatic repeat-request (HARQ) messages divided into coding blocks in an orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM)/orthogonal frequency-division multiple access (OFDMA) receiver are provided. According to such a coding-block-based HARQ combining scheme, the quality of each coding block may be compared to a threshold to determine whether the decoded bits or the HARQ combined signal should be saved for each coding block for subsequent HARQ iterations. In addition to reducing the required HARQ buffer size while preserving the combining gain, coding-block-based HARQ combining may also provide fast decoding and reduced power consumption when compared to conventional HARQ combining techniques.

A combination of different types of HARQ combiners may be designed into the receiver and selected on a per-channel basis. Proper selection of a HARQ combining scheme may reduce the required HARQ buffer size and may provide an increased combining gain when compared to conventional HARQ combining techniques. Furthermore, the HARQ combiner type may be dynamically selected through forward and reverse shifting between the different types of HARQ combining schemes in an effort to decrease the bit error ratio (BER) without saturating the HARQ buffer.
