Abstract:
A method for determining a frequency error over at least one frequency search space for a received signal, the method including the steps of: calculating a first noise estimation for a first frequency offset in a frequency search space; calculating at least a second noise estimation for a second frequency offset in the frequency search space; and determining a minimum noise estimation from the calculated noise estimations, wherein the frequency error is the frequency offset corresponding to the minimum noise estimation.
Abstract:
A wireless communication unit provides (10) a first signal as received from a first portion (11) of a single antenna and provides (13) a second signal as received from a second portion of the antenna, which in a preferred embodiment can comprise a feedline (12). The two signals contain information that is cross-coupled with respect to one another as a function, at least in part, of the structure of the antenna. A digital processing platform (34) de-couples (17) these signals to permit recovery of the original payloads. In one embodiment similar approaches are used to facilitate cross-coupling of signals and transmission of such cross-coupled signals from different portions of a single antenna structure. In another embodiment, both transmission and reception are facilitated by a common platform.
Abstract:
A receiver (300) configured for: a) receiving (410) a first OFDM symbol and generating a plurality of demodulated symbols (306) for the first OFDM symbol: b) generating (420) decoder output code symbols (326) corresponding to a subset of the plurality of demodulated symbols; c) determining (430) that a set of (he decoder output code symbols (326) make up a set of reference symbols corresponding to at least a portion of the subset of the plurality of demodulated symbols (306); d) generating (440) the set of reference symbols; e) generating (450) a set of channel estimates (362) based on the set of reference symbols and the at least a portion of the subset of the plurality of demodulated symbols, for use in decoding a current OFDM symbol; and f) repeating steps b- e until a channel estimate for each demodulated symbol corresponding to the first OFDM symbol has been generated.
Abstract:
In a QAM communications system, a novel synchronizing sequence of symbols added to the information channel simplifies acquisition of timing and synchronization by a receiver. Such synchronization vectors provide signals for improved AFC control signal generation.
Abstract:
A transceiver compatible with both wide channel constant envelope 4 level FSK FM modulation and narrow channel pi /4 differential QPSK linear modulation allows compatible interaction between modified constant envelope and non-constant envelope transmitters. All Nyquist filtering occurs in the transmitters, and none in the receiver.

Abstract:
A quad 16 QAM transmission and reception methodology wherein a time domain pilot reference is advantageously associated therewith. There may be one or more such pilot references for each packet of multiple 16 QAM pulses. Depending upon the embodiment, each 16 QAM pulse can include a time domain pilot reference, or an estimated pilot reference for that pulse can be determined either by reference to pilot references in other pulses sharing the same packet, or by reference to pilot references for other previously received 16 QAM pulses corresponding to that same pulse.
