Abstract:
Transpositional Modulation, TM: The idea behind it can be seen as superimposing two different modulations in the same time/frequency resource. More in details: TM produces first a conventionally modulated (QAM, PSK... ) carrier signal, extracts its carrier, slightly modifies it so that the carrier wave also carries information at the pace of one bit per carrier wave period (more than 1 Gbit/s for LTE), and superimposes both signals for transmission. At the receiver, successive interference cancellation is performed: First conventionally modulated signal is detected, subtracted from received signal, and then TM signal is detected. The TM modulation implies third harmonic processing at the transmitter and receiver.
Abstract:
An apparatus including a processor configured to receive a digital communication signal having a plurality of transmitted layers. The processor is configured to determine an estimated channel matrix based on the digital communication signal, determine a first estimated transmitted symbol vector and a mean square error matrix based on a linear analysis of the received digital communication signal. A first set of bit LLR are determined based on a LMMSE type detector and a second set of bit LLR are determined based on a novel simplified tree search process. The two sets of bit LLR are then combined and used to detect the data in the received communication signal. The simplified tree search process uses a specially formed channel shortening process to determine a set of shortened channel correlation matrices that allow the second set of bit LLR to be determined using an alternative marginalized tree search process.

A method and a system for calculating a JCMA constellation for use in a JCMA communication system where the method includes a step of using maximum sum-rate mutual information criterion to select an optimal JCMA constellation for the number of transmitters N, SNR and modulation schemes used by the transmitters.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus to adaptively puncture bits within QAM modulated data symbols transmitted in a communication system in order to effect a signaling channel. The method and apparatus utilize inherent characteristics of a particular mapping scheme for the QAM constellation to selectively puncture particular bits within a data symbol with signaling information and predetermined binary values to selectively increase the log-likelihood ratio gains of those particular bits punctured with the signaling information (206). The log-likelihood ratios are used to obtain the signaling information (210, 212, 214, 216) and, thus, increasing the gain of the log-likelihood ratios affords greater reliability for the signaling information without increasing the required system resources.
Abstract:
A transmitter (10) is provided with a distribution preserving Tomlinson coder (25) which predistorts shaped data signals (20) such that the power of each data signal exiting the coder is substantially similar to the power of the data signal entering the coder and such that upon transmission of the predistorted data signal over a channel (40), the effect of ISI of the channel is substantially removed. The transmitter is primarily intended for coded modulation systems utilizing a ''coset'' code, and the predistortion is preferably accomplished according to a linear function (1), where rk is a data signal entering the coder, a1 and b1 are the coefficients of polynomials relating to the channel impulse response, xk is the predistorted data signal exiting the coder, and sk is chosen to cause the signal power of xk on average to approximately equal the signal power of rk on average. Different methods for so choosing sk are disclosed. Receivers (50) which cooperate with the provided transmitters (10) are also provided.
Abstract:
Aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for receiving and detecting short multi-user feedback in null data packets (NDPs). An example method generally includes receiving a first packet from a first wireless device, the first packet transmitted using resources spanning at least 106 tones and allocated to the first wireless device for conveying feedback bits, and detecting the feedback bits based on a difference in receive energy on different sets of tones.
Abstract:
A radio base station and method are provided for use in a radio communications system that conducts radio communications over a radio interface using basic physical channels. Each basic physical channel defines a time slot and a radio frequency for transmission. Radio communication is established between a radio base station and multiple user equipments (UEs) over the same basic physical channel. Subchannels are provided in the same basic physical channel to simultaneously support three or four full rate UE communications, seven or eight half rate UE communications, or other combinations. A first baseband transmitter chain is configured so that it can map full rate data corresponding to first and second full rate UE communications (or equivalent) as adaptive quadrature phase shift keying, AQPSK. A second baseband transmitter chain is configured so that it can map full rate data corresponding to a third and/or fourth full rate UE communication (or equivalent) as phase shifted signals onto a third of the three subchannels.

Abstract:
First and second data is transmitted simultaneously by modulating a first set of signal constellation points, corresponding to the first data, with second data thereby creating a second set of constellation points. The second set of constellation points comprises two subsets corresponding to two values of the first data. The constellation points are selected such that the minimum distance between the first and second subsets is not less than the minimum distance between the constellation points of the first set of constellation points.
Abstract:
In certain types of transmission system using nQAM it may be desirable to use a control channel superimposed on a nQAM data channel. In such circumstances it is very desirable to be able to separate control channel data from user data without using a higher level protocol layer. For applications in multi-carrier systems with variable bit-loading it is particularly desirable that the control channel data be separable from user data when the value of n, i.e. the bit-loading, or constellation identifier are unknown. Binary data is transmitted using nQAM modulation. The binary data comprises both user data and control data. This means that a control channel is superimposed on a user data channel within the same nQAM constellation. Separation of said control data is facilitated by arranging control data points to have either unique phase, or unique amplitude, values. These unique values are not employed for user data points.
