Abstract:
For controlling the decoding latency, larger blocks are non equally segmented into smaller ones. The decoding process can start directly after reception of the first small block. And the latency is defined by the latency of the last small block decoding. Changing the number of iterations during the turbo-code decoding permits also to control the decoding latency.

Abstract:
A first wireless device (WAP1) belongs to a wireless communication system and is adapted to exchange information within at least a first band of frequencies. The method comprises detecting the eventual presence of at least one potential victim device (XDVC) operating within the first band of frequencies and reducing the interferences with said at least one potential victim device. Said first wireless device is provided with an antenna array (ANRR), and said detecting step comprises analyzing on said first wireless device the environment of the wireless device through said antenna array, and if said at least one potential victim device (XDVC) is detected, said interference reducing step comprises controlling the antenna array for steering the antenna beam towards an area located outside of the vicinity of said potential victim device for eventually exchanging information within said first band of frequencies with at least a second wireless device (WAP2) located in said area. The main embodiment uses Ultra Wide Band transmission known as UWB.

It further comprises detecting (16) eventual interferences within said incident signal, said interferences detecting being performed in the frequency domain on a second signal obtained from said first signal.
Abstract:
Method for blindly detecting a channel:, like e.g. a HSDPA high speed shared control channel, possibly intended for a designated user equipment among n channels (HS-SCCH1,...,HS-SCCHn) received in parallel by said designated user equipment during a given duration, each channel (HS-SCCH1,...,HS-SCCHn) received during said duration carrying encoded data masked with an identifier associated to a user equipment. The method comprises a selecting phase comprising a demasking step demasking the received masked encoded data of each channel with the identifier of said designated user equipment, a decoding step decoding the demasked encoded data of each channel to obtain a set of digital decoded data for each channel, a calculating step calculating, from each set of digital decoded data, a global information representative of a confidence in digital data received on the physical channel, and a detecting step detecting said channel using said global information.
Abstract:
The method comprises a step of dynamically determining a quality information representative of the conditions of the channel state estimation, and a step of dynamically comparing said quality information with a predetermined criteria for defining a binary result corresponding to good or bad estimation conditions. The turbo-code decoding step comprises dynamically selecting (SC) a Maximum a Posteriori algorithm in the logarithmic domain, called LogMAP algorithm in presence of good conditions, or an approximation of said Maximum a Posteriori algorithm in the logarithmic domain, called MaxLogMAP algorithm, in presence of bad conditions.
