    Abstract: A demodulation mask bitmap includes binary mask values. Each mask value corresponds to an input resource element to a demodulator. For each mask value of a first state, a demodulation engine of the demodulator is not clocked and the demodulator outputs a zero-valued resource element. For each mask value of a second state, the demodulation engine is clocked, the input resource element is demodulated, and the demodulator outputs a demodulated resource element. A demodulation mask bitmap is designed to mask pilot resource elements and corrupted resource elements. Power is conserved by not clocking the demodulation engine for corrupted and pilot resource elements. Subsequent LLR generation and decode operations are simplified. Decoder performance is improved because the decoder does not decode LLR values derived from corrupted resource elements and/or resource elements not relevant to the reconstruction of a communicated message.

    Abstract: Techniques for increased finger demodulation capability in a hardware efficient manner are disclosed. In one aspect, I and Q samples are shifted into a parallel-accessible shift register. A plurality of chip samples are accessed from the shift register and operated on in parallel to produce a multi-chip result for a channel each cycle. These multi-chip results can be accumulated and output to a symbol-rate processor on symbol boundaries. The scheduling of shift register access, computation, and accumulation can be scheduled such that the hardware is time-shared to support a large number of channels. In another aspect, time-tracking of a large number of channels can be accommodated through channel-specific indexing of the contents of the shift register file. These aspects, along with various others also presented, provide for hardware efficient chip rate processing capability for a large number of channels, with a high degree of flexibility in deployment of those channels.

    Abstract: Systems and techniques are disclosed relating to wireless communications. These systems and techniques involve wireless communications wherein a device may be configured to recover an information signal from a carrier using a reference signal, detect a frequency error in the information signal; and periodically tune the reference signal to reduce the frequency error. To prevent GPS performance degradation during LO tuning, a tuning indicator signal may be generated and provided to the GPS receiver to disable GPS operation.

    Abstract: A reference signal management (RSM) program executing on a mobile device detects multiple reference signals, allocates those reference signals into groups, and performs reference signal management functions using information conveyed in the reference signals. The RSM program detects both broadband and narrowband reference signals and maintains updated groups of reference signals that are transmitted from access points with independent configurations or different radio technologies. Battery power of the mobile device is efficiently used to manage reference signals in heterogeneous network environments by preventing unnecessary handoffs, overhead downloads, access probes and new registrations. Reference signals are managed from both synchronous and asynchronous sectors and in idle mode as well as in connected state mode. The RSM program performs functions such as managing handoffs between access points, managing an idle mode of the mobile device, managing an active group of the detected reference signals, and collecting overhead parameters for the mobile device.

    Abstract: Techniques for transmitting data in a communication system are described. A packet may be partitioned into multiple subpackets, and each subpacket may be encoded separately. The subpackets may be mapped to resources assigned for transmission of the packet, with at least one subpacket being mapped to a subset of the assigned resources. The assigned resources may include multiple tiles, with each tile corresponding to a block of time frequency resources. The subpackets may be mapped to the tiles such that (i) the subpackets are mapped to equal number of tiles to achieve similar decoding performance, (ii) each subpacket is mapped to at least NMIN tiles, if available, to achieve a certain minimum diversity order for the subpacket, and/or (iii) each subpacket is mapped to a subset of the multiple tiles, if possible, so that the subpacket can be decoded without having to demodulate all of the tiles.

    Abstract: Techniques for inner/outer loop tracking that is stable and provides desirab le loop convergence characteristics are disclosed. In one aspect, the contribution from any one inner loop to the tracking function of the outer loop (260) is limited, to prohibit any one received signal component from dominating the outer loop. In another aspect, the rate of outer loop trackin g variation is controlled to provide inner and outer loop stability. Various other aspects are also presented. These aspects have the benefit of providin g stable inner and outer loop control, as well as efficient convergence and tracking by the various loops, resulting in reduced frequency error and improved communication performance.
