Abstract: An equalizer for a multi carrier signal for carrying out equalization adapted to each carrier or group of carriers, Fourier transforms the multi carrier signal, and obtains difference terms of the multi carrier signal. Both are input to an adaptive filter, to output equalized signals, wherein decimation is applied to at least some of the difference terms input to the filter. This is notable for enabling the complexity to be reduced for a given performance level. In particular since only non-zero filter taps need to be stored and updated, coefficient memory and coefficient calculation capacity can be reduced. Another way to reduce complexity involves measuring noise for at least some of the carriers, and dynamically adapting the size of the filter on a per carrier basis according to global optimizion euristic algorithms which adapt this filter size based on the comparison between this noise and an optimal performance figure achieved in a previous ISI-ICI free measurement phase.

Abstract: A baseband processor (20) for a Bluetooth device (80) processes packets according to a protocol stack, and uses a Bluetooth host controller interface (30) to receive packets having given priorities, from a higher protocol level or levels. Packet buffers (B1-Bn) are used to buffer the received packets, and the processor reorders the buffered packets according to their priorities, to output a prioritized stream of packets suitable for transmission by a radio part. By prioritising after the HCI interface, rather than before it, the QOS queues can be effectively located at a lower level in the stack. This means the decision made about the order of transmission of the packets, can take place later, meaning a higher probability that a high priority packet can "pass" queues of lower priority packets, and reach the air interface sooner. The reordering can involve a multiplexer (200) arranged to multiplex packets from multiplee packet buffers according to their priorities.

Abstract: A multicarrier transmission system uses a set of carriers spaced apart in frequency with a number of bits being assigned to each carrier. A transmitter (3) has a mapper (14) which maps a data signal to a parallel set of constellation values. A frequency domain-to-time domain transform stage (18) converts the set of modulated carriers to a time-domain signal. A peak detector detects when the time-domain signal exceeds a predetermined criterion. A constellation modifier (27) modifies the constellation value of at least one of the carriers to reduce the crest factor of the transmitted signal. A carrier is selected for modifying on the basis of a number of bits allocated to that carrier. The constellation modifier (27) can select an alternative constellation value by an iterative method or by calculation. The constellation modifier (27) can operate entirely in the time-domain.
