Abstract:
An OFDM receiver includes a sampling circuit configured to sample an incoming signal received through a transmission channel and an estimation circuit configured to receive samples of the incoming signal and to estimate transmission channel response and eventual differences of synchronization offsets introduced at a receiver side. An equalizer may be coupled to the estimation circuit and configured to compensate an effect of the transmission channel response and of the differences of synchronization offsets on the received samples and to generate equalized samples. An OFDM detector may be configured to generate a stream of demodulated digital symbols based upon the equalized samples.
Abstract:
A method of transmitting symbols of a digital transmission constellation from a set thereof, ordered from a smallest to a greatest number of bits per symbol, may include identifying a first constellation from the set that is configured to communicate with a threshold error rate and has a greatest signal-to-noise ratio smaller than a signal-to-noise ratio of a received signal. The method may also include identifying a second constellation from the set that corresponds to a constellation with a number of bits per symbol immediately greater than the first constellation. The method may further include determining first and second probabilities of use of the first and second constellation that would generate an expected number of erroneous bits corresponding to the threshold error rate. The method may further include transmitting a symbol with a constellation selected randomly between the first and second constellation according to the first and second probabilities, respectively.
Abstract:
There is described a method for estimating the signal-to-noise ratio for a packet transmission and reception system of signals with a known sequence, with M-DPSK modulation. The method comprises the division of N known symbols ( a k ) and of N samples of the received signal ( r ( t )) at the output of the channel into B blocks of L length with B and L positive integer numbers and B greater than one and wherein B is expressed by B = N - L L - O + 1 ≥ N L wherein O indicates the overlapping factor of consecutive blocks having length L and the calculation of the estimation of the signal-to-noise ratio by means of the equation: SNR = L - 1 B ⋅ L ∑ b = 0 B - 1 1 L ∑ k = l b l b + L - 1 r k a k * 2 1 B ∑ b = 0 B - 1 1 L ∑ k = l b l b + L - 1 r k 2 - 1 B ∑ b = 0 B - 1 1 L ∑ k = l b l b + L - 1 r k a k * 2 - 1 L wherein l b = b • (L - O) + l where l is the index denoting the position of the first known symbol of the sequence of length N in the packet, r k is the sample of the received signal at the output of the channel correspondent to the known transmitted symbol, a k is the M-DPSK modulated known transmitted symbol, a * k is the complex conjugated of the M-DPSK modulated known transmitted symbol and SNR indicates the estimation of the signal-to-noise ratio.
