    摘要: Method for computing likelihoods in a process for reconstructing decoded information words from vectors of observations received from a wireless channel and generated from vectors of transmission symbols using a plurality of Alamouti matrix based Differential Space Time Block Codes coder. The method comprises applying an iterative reconstruction process, comprising, in a current iteration: receiving a vector of observations; determining, at least one vector of approximated scaling factors to be applied to the vector of observations; determining for each vector of approximated scaling factors a vector of approximated scaled equivalent channel models; and, computing likelihoods in the form of values representative of joint probabilities of obtaining the vector of observations knowing a vector of modulated symbols and a model of the wireless channel using each determined vector of approximated scaling factors and each determined vector of approximated scaled equivalent channel models.

    摘要: A technique, as well as select implementations thereof, pertaining to dual receive processing in wireless communications is described. The technique may involve receiving, by a plurality of receive processing modules, an incoming signal from an antenna to provide a plurality of processing results. The technique may also involve generating, by a determination mechanism, a determination output based on the plurality of processing results. The determination output may include either one or more decoding metrics based on a respective processing result from one of the plurality of receive processing modules or a weighted combination of more than one respective processing result from more than one receive processing module of the plurality of receive processing modules. The technique may further involve decoding, by a decoder, the determination output to provide a decoded signal.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus for efficient demapping of constellations are described. In an embodiment, these methods may be implemented within a digital communications receiver, such as a Digital Terrestrial Television receiver. The method reduces the number of distance metric calculations which are required to calculate soft information in the demapper by locating the closest constellation point to the received symbol. This closest constellation point is identified based on a comparison of distance metrics which are calculated parallel to either the I- or Q-axis. The number of distance metric calculations may be reduced still further by identifying a local minimum constellation point for each bit in the received symbol and these constellation points are identified using a similar method to the closest constellation point. Where the system uses rotated constellations, the received symbol may be unrotated before any constellation points are identified.
