    摘要: A system for detecting and avoiding interference with radar signals in wireless network devices is described. The receiver circuit of the device receives incoming 5 GHz traffic. Such traffic could comprise both WLAN traffic as well as radar signals from radar systems. The incoming packets are treated as an input event, and are screened to be examined as radar pulses. Radar pulses are identified using the length of the detected event. The radar pulses are examined using frequency domain analysis, and the packet train is examined to find gaps between radar pulses. The periodic nature of the packet is determined using frequency domain and time domain analysis to calculate the period of the pulse train. Particular intervals within the pulse train are analyzed using threshold numbers of periodic pulses within the interval and threshold power levels for the pulses. The calculated period information is used to identify the radar source and screen non-radar traffic.

    摘要: A system and method are disclosed for dynamic preamble detection. A subset of the bits comprising the synchronization portion of the preamble are decoded, de-scrambled, and analyzed to determine dynamically which preamble format is being used. The source data values for the synchronization bits for a first preamble format are different than the source data values for the synchronization bits for a second preamble format and the receiving system uses the difference to determine which preamble format has been used. The information concerning which format has been used may be used to extend a synchronization operation.

    摘要: A modified approach to detecting the start frame delimiter (SFD) is disclosed. A receiving system scans a decoded but not yet de-scrambled received signal for a scrambled version of the SFD associated with the preamble format being used. Using this approach, it is not necessary to use any bits intended for use in synchronization to initialize a de-scrambler so as to be able to de-scramble the SFD portion of the preamble for detection. The bits that otherwise would have been dedicated to initializing the de-scrambler may then be used for synchronization, as intended. Detecting fewer than all bits comprising a start frame delimiter is described. Bits not used for SFD detection may be used for other purposes, such as synchronization.

    摘要: A dual band radio is constructed using a primary and secondary transceiver. The primary transceiver is a complete radio that is operational in a stand alone configuration. The secondary transceiver is a not a complete radio and is configured to re-use components such as fine gain control and fine frequency stepping of the primary transceiver to produce operational frequencies of the secondary transceiver. The primary transceiver acts like an intermediate frequency device for the secondary transceiver. Switches are utilized to divert signals to/from the primary transceiver from/to the secondary transceiver. The switches are also configured to act as gain control devices. Antennas are selected using either wideband or narrowband antenna switches that are configured as a diode bridge having high impedance at operational frequencies on control lines that bias the diodes.

    摘要: An antenna switch diversity algorithm, and systems and methods to provide antenna diversity by implementing the algorithm in, for example, an IEEE 802.11a compliant environment, are presented. In accordance with the algorithm, one antenna of at least two antennas is designated as a default antenna at a communications device that sends and receives transmit and receive packets. The default antenna designation is changed depending on long-term and short-term learning processes implemented in, for example, software and hardware. The long-term and short-term learning processes analyze packet transmission and reception results of the antennas. The antenna switch diversity algorithm is applicable to multiple antennas.

    摘要: A system and method are described for reducing data transmission collisions in a shared transmission medium. In one embodiment, transmission priorities are set by means of priority-defining transmissions. In another embodiment, statistically equal access is assured by means of unique transmit start time slot pairs wherein the paired start time slots are substantially equally spaced in time from a center start time slot. In yet another embodiment, data transmission traffic analysis is used to set unique transmission start time slots or to select from pools of start time slots associated with classes of data to be transmitted, thus establishing relative preemption priorities. In still another embodiment, transmission begins in statically assigned start time slots that are subsets of an available array of transmission start time slots.

    摘要: An embodiment of the present invention provides an automatic gain control system for a wireless receiver that quickly differentiates desired in-band signals from high power out-of-band signals that overlap into the target band. The system measures power before and after passing a received signal through a pair of finite impulse response filters that largely restrict the signal's power to that which is in-band. By comparing the in-band energy of the received signal after filtering to the total signal energy prior to filtering, it is possible to determine whether a new in-band signal has arrived. The presence of this new in-band signal is then verified by a multi-threshold comparison of the normalized self-correlation to verify the presence of a new, desired in-band signal.

    摘要: A Viterbi decoding system interprets bits in received QAM constellations as many-valued parameters rather than binary valued parameters. It performs the Viterbi algorithm using these many-valued parameters to provide results superior to hard decision decoding. Rather than applying a hard 0-1 function to the QAM data, the system uses a non-stepped linear or curved transfer function to assign values to the bits. In another aspect, a system differentiates between data bits based on their estimated reliability, giving more emphasis to decoding reliable bits than unreliable bits using any of a variety of techniques. By differentiating between god and bad bits and de-emphasizing or ignoring unreliable bits, the system can provide a significant reduction in uncorrectable errors and packet loss.
