Abstract:
Certain aspects of a method and system for achieving space and time diversity gain are disclosed. Aspects of one method may include modifying a generalization code of at least one pilot channel, to measure signal strengths for each of a plurality of received multipath signals. A portion of the plurality of received multipath signals may be combined based on the measured signal strengths. The signal strengths of the plurality of received multipath signals may be measured on a primary pilot channel by assigning its generalization code to zero. The signal strengths of the plurality of received multipath signals on a secondary pilot channel may measured by assigning its generalization code to a non-zero value.
Abstract:
Wireless devices, transmitters, systems and methods are provided that have a narrow band signaling channel and a wide band channel, for example an OFDM channel. In order to save power, the wireless device is nominally powered down with the exception of a receiver specific to the narrow band signaling channel. Once instructed to do so over the narrow band signaling channel, the wireless device wakes up the rest of its wide band receive circuitry.

Abstract:
A method of transceiving data includes providing a wireless transceiver chip that supports multiple wireless standards for transceiving data packets, wherein a first wireless standard comprises a first modulation and demodulation scheme, and wherein a second wireless standard comprises a second modulation and demodulation scheme, and wherein the first modulation and demodulation scheme is incompatible with the second modulation and demodulation scheme; activating only one PHY layer of the wireless transceiver chip during the transceiving of the data packets; using a MAC layer of the wireless transceiver chip to specify whether the first or second wireless standard is to be used for a given transceiving of the data packets; and the PHY layer receiving instructions from the MAC layer regarding which wireless standard is to be used for the transceiving of the data packets using hardware that is shared by the PHY layer corresponding to both wireless standards.

Abstract:
The delay associated with performing interference cancellation in a multi-user receiver is reduced by enabling partial decoding. According to an embodiment, interference is canceled from a received signal having signal contributions from multiple users by partially decoding a first codeword obtained from the received signal and transmitted by a first user via a first signal. The first signal is reconstructed based on the partial decoding of the first codeword and canceled from the received signal to yield a reduced-interference signal. A second codeword obtained from the reduced-interference signal and transmitted by the first user or a second user via a second signal is at least partially decoded. In one embodiment, the first codeword is partially decoded by puncturing one or more coded bits of the first codeword and decoding the first codeword based on the one or more punctured coded bits and estimates of the remaining coded bits.
