Abstract:
Through the identification of different packet-types, packets can be handled based on an assigned packet handling identifier. This identifier can, for example, enable forwarding of latency-sensitive packets without delay and allow error-sensitive packets to be stored for possible retransmission. In another embodiment, and optionally in conjunction with retransmission protocols including a packet handling identifier, a memory used for retransmission of packets can be shared with other transceiver functionality such as, coding, decoding, interleaving, deinterleaving, error correction, and the like.
Abstract:
System and methods for reducing false alarm in the presence of random signals are disclosed. Various embodiments are operable to receive via a data interface a data block having at least one frame, normalize soft bits of the data block and re-encode decoder output bits of the data block, calculate a normalized correlation metric from the normalized soft bits and re-encoded bits of the data block, compare the normalized correlation metric to a threshold, and reject the data block when the normalized correlation metric is below the threshold.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method are provided for stopping iterative decoding in a channel decoder of a mobile communication system. Constituent decoding of received signals is performed and decoded signals are output. Hard decision processes for the decoded signals are performed and hard-decided signals are output. The hard-decided signals are cyclic redundancy check (CRC) encoded, and a determination is made as to whether the parities are identical and iterative decoding is stopped according to a determination result.
Abstract:
An object of the present invention is to provide a CRC circuit with more simple structure and low power consumption. The CRC circuit includes a first shift register to a p-th shift register, a first EXOR to a (p-1)th EXOR, and a switching circuit. A data signal, a select signal, and an output of a last stage of the p-th shift register are inputted to the switching circuit, and the switching circuit switches a first signal or a second signal in response to the select signal to be outputted.
Abstract:
A first data packet is received within an integrated circuit device and stored within a first memory thereof starting at a first address that is determined by the size of one or more previously received data packets. An error descriptor value is updated within a second memory of the integrated circuit device, the error descriptor including an error field that indicates an error that is associated with the first data packet, an address field that indicates the first address within the first memory and a length field that indicates a range of storage locations to which the error applies. A multiple-bit error value is generated based, at least in part, on the error descriptor, each bit of the multiple-bit error value corresponding to a respective storage location within a storage row of the first memory. The state of one or more bits within the storage row of the first memory are changed based, at least in part, on the multiple-bit error value.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for configuring a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) generation circuit to perform CRC on a data stream are disclosed. The method includes storing a generator polynomial associated with a CRC equation in a register, where the generator polynomial has a length capable of varying such that the length has any value less than or equal to a number of bits associated with a CRC generation circuit. A bit position of the CRC generation circuit that corresponds to the length of the generator polynomial is selected by using a first multiplexer to generate a feedback value. The CRC generation circuit is programmed to calculate a CRC checksum based on the generator polynomial stored in the register and the feedback value from the selected bit position.

A communication apparatus includes a plurality of descramblers for subjecting a second header portion of a received frame to descrambling processing using pseudo-random sequences that differ from one another; a plurality of syndrome arithmetic units for performing a syndrome calculation, which is in accordance with a cyclic redundancy check code, with respect to headers descrambled by respective ones of the plurality of descramblers, and an error correction unit for selecting a header that has been descrambled by one descrambler among the plurality of descramblers as a receive header, in accordance with syndrome values calculated by respective ones of the plurality of syndrome arithmetic units.
Abstract:
An erasure information table includes one element for each column of a data frame, stored in an IP datagram buffer 66 and in an RS data buffer 67, instead of an element for each element of that column. Thus, CRC checking is performed against datagrams, instead of individual elements, of a received data frame, and effective error correction can be carried out by a Reed Solomon decoder 69. The effectiveness of the error correction is decreased since errors will be indicated as being present when actually an error is present in another row. The amount of memory needed to store the erasure information though is reduced. In another embodiment (Figures 9 and 10), a linked list includes an element for each series of datagrams which have the same error status (i.e. reliable or unreliable). Each element includes the start address of the first datagram in that sequence and indicates the error status. Different lists may be used for application data and for parity data.
