摘要:
A data transmitter for transmitting a data packet to a data receiver via a communication channel includes a generator for generating the data packet and a transmitter for transmitting the data packet. The generator for generating the data packet is configured to generate a data packet having a first data block and a second data block and a predefined first reference sequence and second reference sequence for synchronizing the data receiver, wherein the first reference sequence is longer than the second reference sequence, and wherein in the data packet, the second data block is located between the first reference sequence and the second reference sequence, and the first reference sequence is located between the first data block and the second data block. The transmitter for transmitting the data packet is configured to transmit the data packet to the data receiver via the communication channel.

A receiver and method for receiving and processing a sequence of transmitted symbols in a digital communication system utilizing soft pilot symbols. A set of soft pilot symbols are transmitted with higher reliability than the remaining symbols in the sequence by modulating the soft pilot symbols with a lower order modulation such as BPSK or QPSK while modulating the remaining symbols with a higher order modulation such as 16 QAM or 64 QAM. The receiver knows the modulation type and location (time/frequency/code) of the soft pilot symbols, and demodulates them first. The receiver uses the demodulated soft pilot symbols as known symbols to estimate parameters of the received radio signal. Unlike traditional fixed pilots, the soft pilots still carry some data. Additionally, the soft pilots are particularly helpful in establishing the amplitude reference essential in demodulating the higher order modulation symbols.

A receiver receives a repeating or periodic signal and, based on the signal, estimates a carrier frequency offset for the receiver. Based on the signal and the estimated carrier offset, an I/O mismatch for the receiver is estimated and compensation for the estimated I/O mismatch is performed. After compensating for the estimated receiver I/O mismatch, the carrier frequency offset is re-estimated.
摘要:
Determining a frequency offset of a received signal utilizing two or more multipath components of the received signal is provided herein. By way of example, the received signal can be correlated with a synchronization sequence in a time domain or a frequency domain, resulting in separation of the two or more multipath components of the received signal. Analysis of at least one of the multipath components can provide a frequency offset of the received signal. Furthermore, by analyzing the multipath components, estimation of the frequency offset can be improved as compared with single-signal analysis techniques.

In a multivalue modulation type with one pilot symbol inserted for every 3 or more symbols, signal points of each one symbol immediately before and after a pilot symbol are modulated using a modulation type different from that for pilot symbols. In this way, it is possible to suppress deterioration of the accuracy in estimating the reference phase and amount of frequency offset by pilot symbols and improve the bit error rate characteristic in the signal to noise ratio in quasi-coherent detection with symbols whose symbol synchronization is not completely established.

A method is provided for estimating a propagation channel composed of successive symbols of a multicarrier signal, each comprising at least one reference pilot and a plurality of data-carrying frequencies. Such a method comprises, in particular, at least one step consisting of correcting the at least one reference pilot on the basis of a first estimation of a propagation channel, in order to provide a second, more precise estimation of the channel.

A method is provided for frequency acquisition, particularly for initial frequency acquisition, pursuant to a known synchronization sequence for synchronizing a mobile communications device having a local oscillator with previously known transmit frequencies of a base station that transmit in a known channel raster with defined frequency points within a band, wherein the method includes the steps of determining the inband power of the known synchronization sequence via a sensor by scanning a frequency band, performing coarse determination of the local power maximum of the inband power and, thus, of the received carrier frequency over the scanned frequency band, producing a presumed channel frequency at which the base station is transmitting on the basis of knowledge of the channel raster of the transmit frequencies of the base station, performing fine determination of the received carrier frequency by comparison with the known synchronization sequence, and correcting the frequency deviation of the local oscillator from the transmitted carrier frequency.
摘要:
A transmitter, channel coder, and method for coding and transmitting a sequence of symbols in a digital communication system utilizing soft pilot symbols. In one embodiment, the transmitter transmits a set of soft pilot symbols with higher reliability than the remaining symbols in the sequence by modulating the soft pilot symbols with a lower order modulation such as BPSK or QPSK while modulating the remaining symbols with a higher order modulation such as 16 QAM or 64 QAM. The transmitter shares the modulation type and location (time/frequency/code) of the soft pilot symbols with a receiver. Unlike traditional fixed pilots, the soft pilots still carry some data. Additionally, the soft pilots are particularly helpful in establishing the amplitude reference essential in demodulating the higher order modulation symbols. In another embodiment, soft pilot symbols are inserted by low-level puncturing of channel encoded bits and replacing the punctured bits with known bit patterns.
