    摘要: A novel and useful apparatus for and method of packet detection and carrier frequency offset estimation. The packet detection mechanism is robust to channels and sustains reasonable miss-detect (and false alarm) rates at low SNR values. The mechanism uses a modified combined cross correlation and delay and correlate scheme. A delay and correlate scheme is used in order to handle the effects of multipath while swapping integration and multiplication to increase cross-correlation factors resulting in improved sensitivity in low SNR conditions. Correlation is divided into multiple chains to generate a plurality of partial correlations to observe short patterns in the spread sequence resulting in improved performance in long multipath channels.

    摘要: In at least some embodiments, a communication system includes a receiver having a local oscillator (LO) for each of a plurality of frequency bands. Each LO is controlled by a separate phase-locked loop (PLL) that tracks carrier frequency offset (CFO) using a common phase error (CPE). The CPE is selectively weighted based on at least one inter-band frequency correlation (IFC) coefficient.

    摘要: A spatial diversity receiver and method for determining a multichannel combined symbol timing marker that identifies an energy concentration for a combination of channel delay spreads in order to reduce the complexity of equalization. The receiver includes two or more receiver chains having spatially diverse antennas; a multichannel combined timer; and a multichannel combined equalizer for receiving wireless signals through two or more signal channels. The multichannel combined timer combines energies corresponding to the channel impulse response coefficients for all the channels for determining a series of multichannel combined metrics having associated index cursors, and then determines the multichannel combined symbol timing marker from the index cursor for the largest of the metrics. The symbol timing marker synchronizes the received symbols issued to the equalizer jointly to the energy concentration for the delay spreads combined for all the channels.

    摘要: A multiple access system for a network using multicarrier modulation. To contend for service a subscriber station selects an upcoming frame in whose contention window it will contend, selects a contention slot within the window, selects a contention channel corresponding to a subset of the carriers used by the network, and imposes a contention code differentially on the carriers in the contention channel.
