    Abstract: A method and apparatus for combining retransmitted hybrid automatic repeat-request (HARQ) messages at different stages in an OFDM/OFDMA receiver are provided. A combination of different types of HARQ combiners may be designed into the receiver and selected on a per-channel basis. Proper selection of a HARQ combining scheme may reduce the required HARQ buffer size and may provide an increased combining gain when compared to conventional HARQ combining techniques. Furthermore, the HARQ combiner type may be dynamically selected through forward and reverse shifting between the different types of HARQ combining schemes in an effort to decrease the bit error ratio (BER) without saturating the HARQ buffer.

    Abstract: An embodiment of the present invention is a modified inverted-F antenna for wireless communication. The antenna circuit includes a dielectric substrate having a first surface, a radiating stub on the first surface of the dielectric substrate, and a first ground plate on the first surface of the dielectric substrate to couple to ground. The first ground plate includes one or more grounded capacitive stubs spaced apart from the radiating stub. The one or more grounded capacitive stubs tune performance parameters for the antenna circuit.

    Abstract: In accordance with a method for diversity combining in an orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) system, repetition diversity equalization and combining may be performed with respect to received OFDMA signals. In addition, receiver antenna diversity equalization and combining may be performed with respect to the received OFDMA signals. The repetition diversity equalization and combining and the receiver antenna diversity equalization and combining may be performed in accordance with a maximum ratio combining (MRC) scheme.

    Abstract: In accordance with a method for processing a received orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) signal that comprises a duplicated signal, sub-carriers within the OFDMA signal may be arranged into a duplicated format. The OFDMA signal may be equalized and combined after the sub-carriers have been arranged into the duplicated format. The equalizing and combining may be performed in accordance with a maximum ratio combining (MRC) scheme. The OFDMA signal may be demapped after the equalizing and combining is performed.
