Abstract: The invention discloses an antenna arrangement and a method of designing the same, the antenna arrangement being tuned to radiate in a plurality of bands. The antenna arrangement comprises a first conductive element which has a compact linear 2D or 3D form factor. It also comprises leaves attached to the first conductive element, the position, dimension, form factor and orientation of which are defined based on their impact on frequency shifts of the fundamental and harmonic modes, so that the antenna arrangement radiates at a plurality of predefined frequencies. The design method uses maps of hot areas where the sensitivity to the parameters defined for the leaves is maximal. Advantageously, the design method is performed in a manner which uses an orthogonality of the impacts of the parameters of the leaves vis-à-vis the different radiating modes. The antenna arrangement is compact and well adapted to applications to the IoT and consumer communication devices.

Abstract: A receiver for Filter Bank Multicarrier frequency spread signals such as FBMC, FBMC/OQAM, OFDM, comprises a linear phase rotation module adapted to introduce a linear phase rotation to a received time domain signal, a discrete Fourier transform and a Finite Impulse response digital filter. The coefficients of the digital filter define a shift of the frequency response of the prototype filter of the receiver, and the coefficients of the digital filter are fixed so as to compensate the linear phase rotation introduced by the filter. The frequency shift introduced may be equal to the reciprocal of a power of two of the modulation sub carrier spacing.

Abstract: A method of designing a digital filter for example for use in an FBMC/OQAM telecommunications system, with a target overlapping factor and meeting a specified signal to interference ratio is described, whereby a candidate filter design defined by an impulse response, satisfying the Nyquist criterion and having an overlapping factor higher than the target is selected, and the time and frequency coefficients of its impulse response inverted to define a new filter design; andtruncating the impulse response defining said new filter design to the minimum number of coefficients achieving said specified signal to interference ratio.

Abstract: The invention discloses an antenna arrangement of a bonsai type, where not only the resonating frequencies may be adjusted, but also the bandwidth around some or all resonating frequencies. This is achieved by adding new branches to the trunk of the bonsai antenna arrangement. The positions and lengths of the branches are defined as a function of the frequencies around which the bandwidth should be adjusted. The antenna arrangement may be inscribed in a 3D compact volume of a specific form factor. It may also be inscribed in a planar structure. The antenna arrangement may be produced at a low cost. It may be used in a variety of applications, including communications in WiFi or other standards of multimedia content that need defined bandwidths for instance to comply to a predetermined quality of service.

Abstract: An encoder architecture for UF-OFDM is provided, in which samples are first processed sub-band wise, and then resorted for sub-carrier-wise processing. The sub-carrier processing may comprise separate processing for the two extremity parts of the base band signal corresponding to the transient state of the UF-OFDM data stream and for a core part of the base band signal corresponding to the non-transient state of the UF-OFDM data stream, and then concatenated to obtain a UF-OFDM data stream. In certain embodiments a first extremity part of the base band signal corresponding to the transient state of the UF-OFDM data stream is calculated directly, and the other extremity part inferred from the core part and the first extremity part. The core and extremity part processors may be implemented with filters adapted to multiply each sample by a respective filter coefficient. Modifying these coefficients can introduce a frequency shift or convert the encoder for OFDM encoding.

Abstract: Power allocation in NOMA systems for example on the basis Proportional Fairness calculations depends on knowledge of user throughput on a specified sub-band, which implies that users have already been allocated to particular sub-bands. Meanwhile, maximum throughput can generally be achieved where there is the greatest possible difference in transmission power for the users on a given sub-band, so that optimal allocation of users to sub-bands requires knowledge of the power available for each user. A mechanism is proposed based on iteratively applying a waterfilling algorithm to distribute power across a progressive subset of sub-bands to provisionally distribute the power budget across that subset of sub-bands, where at each iteration the water filling algorithm is carried out for each possible combination of users assignable to the newly considered sub-band using a floor for that sub band proportional to the reciprocal of the square of the highest channel gain value of any user in that combination, and calculating a throughput for that combination with the corresponding power attribution, whereby the combination retained for the next iteration (with an additional sub-band) is whichever gives the highest throughput. This process is thus repeated until users are assigned to all sub-bands, whereupon power allocations from the last iteration are definitive.
