    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: A method for combining signals coming from multiple diversity sources may include performing maximal-ratio combining (MRC) based equalization and combining for receiver antenna diversity. The method may also include performing MRC-based equalization and combining for repetition diversity. The method may also include performing MRC-based equalization and combining for duplication diversity. The MRC-based equalization and combining for receiver antenna diversity, the MRC-based equalization and combining for repetition diversity, and the MRC-based equalization and combining for duplication diversity may each be performed separately.

    Abstract: In accordance with a detection method in a wireless communication system, an initial hypothesis for a starting position of a desired signal within a received wireless communication signal may be determined. The desired signal may have a conjugate symmetric property. At least one correlation value may be determined based on the initial hypothesis. The at least one correlation value may indicate the extent to which at least one sample sequence selected from the received signal has the conjugate symmetric property.
