摘要:
A method and apparatus for managing communications in a wireless communication system such as a WiFi system, at an access point, are provided. Various measurements such as number of devices connected to the access point and using a wireless channel, number of devices not connected to the access point but contending for a wireless channel, proportion of time a wireless channel is in use, transmission quality of a wireless channel, interference due to wireless activity according to a process other than the protocol of the communication system, and interference due to wireless activity according to a different process, are made. Based on the measurements, decisions of how to partition a portion of spectrum into a number of channels as well as the number of channels, or decisions of whether to enable or disable such channels or portions of spectrum, are made.
摘要:
Automatic Gain Control (AGC) system for multi-channel signals attenuates an incoming multi-channel signal by providing a gain. The system further adjusts each individual channel, of the multi-channel signal, by supplying a second gain if needed. The AGC system is designed to ensure a received signal power is at an optimal level for analog to digital conversion or any other form of signal processing. The system also enables elimination of mid-packet gain adjustments.
摘要:
Gain variations during a packet can lead to significant performance degradation in communications systems that use high order quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM). A method and the associated apparatus track such variations in an OFDM system and completely eliminate any performance degradation. Gain estimation and compensation is employed with the use of pilot subcarriers in the payload of an OFDM data packet. Estimated pilot magnitude ratios are averaged, throughout the processing life of a packet, to yield accurate gain estimations. A gain compensation factor is used to adjust data carriers. An exclusion method is also employed to eliminate pilot carriers which contribute to noise.
