Abstract:
The invention relates to a method and a receiver for clown-mixing a received signal in an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) system containing non-mirrored pilots to a baseband signal, comprising determining the down-mixing frequency based on a carrier frequency and a carrier frequency offset, wherein the carrier frequency offset is determined such that mirrored pilots are obtained in the baseband signal.
Abstract:
A receiver is operated so as to receive data conveyed on an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexed (OFDM) signal transmitted on a plurality of sub- carriers. Such operation includes ascertaining which of the plurality of sub- carriers have a channel quality that satisfies one or more criteria. Then, sub- carriers are selected based on whether they have the channel quality that satisfies mentioned one or more criteria. The receiver then fully processes data streams only from the selected sub- carriers, wherein fully processing data streams comprises sub-carrier channel estimation or sub-carrier equalization or both sub- carrier channel estimation and sub-carrier equalization.
Abstract:
A device may include a measurement receiver, a communication receiver, and a transmitter. The measurement receiver may include a receiver (RX) down-conversion component to receive an amplified signal from a low-noise amplifier of the communication receiver, selectively receive a signal from a first local oscillator associated with the communication receiver or a second local oscillator associated with the transmitter, and down-convert the amplified signal to baseband using the received signal from the first local oscillator or the second local oscillator. The measurement receiver may further include a delta- sigma analog-to-digital converter (ADC) to provide low quantization noise only for a particular frequency range to be measured, and a control component to configure the delta-sigma ADC to provide the low quantization noise at the particular frequency range.
Abstract:
A communication device has a plurality of concurrently operating transceivers, each operating in a respectively different one of a plurality of communication systems, wherein the plurality of concurrently operating transceivers includes a first transceiver and a second transceiver. Operation of the communication device includes the first transceiver ascertaining whether transmissions by the second transceiver are causing interference in a receiver of the first transceiver and if so, performing one or more interference response actions. The one or more interference response actions include ascertaining whether the interference is at an acceptable level and if so then taking no further interference response actions. If the interference is ascertained to be at an unacceptable level, an interference mitigation request is communicated to the second transceiver. The second transceiver can, for example, shift its use of frequencies to a region whereby the first transceiver's band select filter can sufficiently attenuate the second transceiver's signal.
Abstract:
A multi-branch OFDM receiver combines diversity signals received over different receiver branches using interference rejection combining. The receiver generates first channel estimates associated with a serving base station, second channel estimates associated with at least one non-serving base station, and a time offset between the serving base station and non-serving base station. The receiver computes a noise covariance matrix based on the second channel estimates and the time offset, and then combines the diversity signals received over different branches using the first channel estimates and the noise covariance matrix.

Abstract:
Ascertaining a signal power of an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) signal involves ascertaining a plurality of channel estimates from the OFDM signal. Compensating phase shift values for phase aligning the plurality of channel estimates are estimated and used to generate phase corrected channel estimates. The phase corrected channel estimates are coherently combined, thereby ascertaining the signal power of the OFDM signal. The compensating phase shift values may be based on a channel characteristic (e.g., delay spread) or may alternatively be hypothesized.

A device (100, 200) and a method is provided for processing a signal. The device comprises a filter unit 5 (101, 201); an FFT unit (102, 202) operatively connected to the filter unit and being located after the filter unit along a signal path for the signal; and a compensation unit (103, 203) operatively connected to the FFT unit and being located after the FFT unit in the signal path. The compensation unit is adapted to compensate for attenuation of the signal, which has been caused by the filter unit.
Abstract:
A method of detecting a spreading code of a received spread-spectrum signal, in particular a spreading code identifying a space vehicle of a GPS system. The method comprises correlating the received spread-spectrum signal with a reference signal to detect the presence of one of a number of reference spreading codes. The correlating further comprises differentiating at least one of the received spread-spectrum signal, the reference signal, and the correlation signal, the correlating resulting in a differentiated correlation signal.

A method of communicating messages among a number of radio communications devices via a communications medium, each of said messages comprising a message header and a message payload. The method comprises transmitting the message header of a first message, where the first message is to be transmitted from a first one of the number of radio communications devices to at least a second one of the number of radio communications devices, at a first power level high enough to enable each of the number of radio communications devices to receive the message header; transmitting the message payload of the first message at a second power level determined separately from the first power level to be high enough to enable the second radio communications device to receive the message payload.
