Abstract:
A method and apparatus for communications channel symbol recovery that improves equalizer performance adds together the log-likelihood ratios (LLRs) of different decision delays rather than using LLRs corresponding only to a single decision delay. A low complexity method comprises, determining an initial coarse delay and a set of fine delays (1003), estimating a training sequence and filter taps set for each fine delay (1007), determining an error function for each fine delay (1009), and linearly combining the filter taps (1013) for determining the symbol estimates (1017).
Abstract:
A method of modulation detection. A signal is received (710). A first decision statistic can be generated based on the received signal (720). The received signal can be transformed (725). A second decision statistic can be generated based on the transformed received signal (735). A selected modulation type can be determined based on comparing the first decision statistic with the second decision statistic (740).
Abstract:
A method for reducing interference in a desired signal in a GSM communication system uses a finite-impulse-response filter for alternate linear equalization. The method includes a first step (300) of inputting a burst of data of a received waveform including interference from a channel of the communication system. A next step (302) includes training the finite-impulse-response filter with a set of symbols of specific quadrature phase, known a priori, in the burst of data of the received waveform. For example known real only and imaginary only symbols are alternatively selected from a midamble of the data burst. A next step (304) includes operating on the received waveform with the finite-impulse-response filter to alternately linearly equalize the burst of data to provide an estimate of the desired signal.

Each of the base transceiver stations is configured to provide a downstream baseband digital signal to the switch and to receive an upstream baseband digital signal from the switch, wherein each downstream baseband digital signal and upstream baseband digital signal is a digital representation of the RF channel at baseband of the respective base transceiver station. The switch is configured to route each of the downstream baseband digital signals to a respective subset of the remote units as one or more downstream serial data streams and to route each of the upstream baseband digital signals from one or more upstream serial data streams to a respective subset of the base transceiver stations.
Abstract:
One embodiment is directed to a distributed antenna system comprising a host unit and at least one remote antenna unit that is communicatively coupled to the host unit. The host unit is configured to communicate a downstream transport signal from the host unit to the remote antenna unit. The remote antenna unit to which the downstream transport signal is communicated uses the downstream transport signal to generate a downstream radio frequency signal for radiation from an antenna associated with the remote antenna unit. The remote antenna unit is configured to communicate an upstream transport signal from the remote antenna unit to the host unit, wherein the upstream transport signal is generated from a received upstream radio frequency signal received at the remote antenna unit. The remote antenna unit is configured to perform self-interference suppression processing in an upstream signal path using, as an input thereto, a feedback signal derived from the downstream radio frequency signal radiated from the antenna. Other embodiments are disclosed.
