    Abstract: Certain embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method and an apparatus for peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) reduction of a transmission signal in a single carrier frequency division multiple access (SC-FDMA) system. The method may utilize a permutation of a time domain signal, and/or a permutation of a frequency domain signal or a permutation of a signal transformed by a unitary matrix. The apparatus may include an M-point DFT or some other MxM unitary matrix, N-point IDFT, interpolation and frequency conversion units, and a pair of possibly different permutation matrices of size MxM, where M can be less or equal than N.

    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 selecte d from the received signal has the conjugate symmetric property.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus for decoding encoded data bits of a wireless communication transmission are provided. A set of a-priori bit values corresponding to known bit values of the encoded data bits may be generated. Decoding paths that correspond to decoded data bits that are inconsistent with the a-priori bit values may be removed from the possible decoding paths to consider, and decoding the encoded data bits by selecting a decoding path from remaining decoding paths of the possible decoding paths that were not removed. Multiple hypotheses, each corresponding to a different set of a-prior bit values may be evaluated, with the decoded data for a hypothesis selected based on the evaluation output for further processing.

    Abstract: In accordance with a method for processing a received orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) signal that comprises a duplicated signal, sub-carriers within the OFDMA signal may be arranged into a duplicated format. The OFDMA signal may be equalized and combined after the sub-carriers have been arranged into the duplicated format. The equalizing and combining may be performed in accordance with a maximum ratio combining (MRC) scheme. The OFDMA signal may be demapped after the equalizing and combining is performed.
