Abstract:
In a packet transmission system, especially wireless transmission system, where data is transmitted in packets at different error protection levels and where the error protection level of one packet (= the succeeding packet) may differ from the error protection level of a preceding packet without providing code termination between the said preceding and the said succeeding packet the performance may degrade in case a different error protection level is used by the preceding packet and the succeeding packet. The invention proposes in these cases to insert a supplementary packet between the preceding and the succeeding packet whereby the error protection level of the supplementary packet is higher than the lowest error protection level that is used either by the preceding or the succeeding packet.

Abstract:
The invention relates to a method and a device for controlling frequency selection within a wireless communication system in response to radar-like interference signals. The method comprises continuously or quasi-continuously monitoring and assessing a plurality of frequencies with respect to a radar-like interference signal and allocating a quality parameter to each assessed frequency, the quality parameter indicating the probability that the frequency is occupied. The method further comprises selecting one or more frequencies in dependence on the allocated quality parameters and subsequent frequency monitoring.
Abstract:
A receiver and a method are applied in a wireless communication system for detecting interference with a coexisting radar system. A signal received from an antenna is fed through an analog part and a subsequent digital part of said receiver. The receiver has an element with a-priori known attenuation values for a predefined set of frequencies, a first branch-off element for deriving a first detection signal from the signal before the element and a second branch-off element for deriving a second detection signal from the signal after the element. The receiver processes the first and the second detection signal such that a difference between the first and second detection signal is comparable with a threshold value, where the threshold value depends on the a-priori known attenuation values of the element. Depending on the comparison result, a frequency is identified as interfering or not a co-existing radar system.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method of multiplexing data words in a multicarrier transmit diversity system. The method comprises the step of generating a plurality of data blocks, each data block comprising data words and each data word containing data symbols derived from a data signal, the step of determining for one or more data blocks in dependence on at least one transmission constraint if the data words of said one or more data blocks are to be multiplexed in the time domain or in the frequency domain and the step of multiplexing the data words of the data blocks in accordance with the determination result.
Abstract:
In order to correct frequency deviations of signals in a multicarrier system, such as a OFDM-system, the present invention provides a frequency tracker and a method to operate the same. The frequency tracker is based on a decision directed digital phase locked loop exhibiting a predictive character. On the basis of an estimated phase offset for a received signal (signal component, signal symbol) a predicted phase offset is calculated and applied to the signal (signal component, signal symbol). Further, received signals (signal components, signal symbols) are sampled and for each sample a sample phase offset to be corrected is calculated in dependence to the related estimated phase offset to incorporate the predictive character. In particular, the predicted sample phase offsets are calculated as a function of a corresponding predicted phase offset and a measure being indicative of a distance, in the time domain, between a corresponding phase reference point for the predicted phase offset and a phase reference point defined for a specific part of the received signal, preferably for a preceding preamble signal.

Abstract:
A radio receiver system ( 30 ) comprises a radio receiver ( 41 ), a receiver sample clock ( 60 ), which is used for sampling a modulated base-band signal; and a timing correction unit ( 100 ). The timing correction unit ( 100 ) performs, in the frequency domain, a timing drift compensation between a transmitter sample clock ( 66 ) and the receiver sample clock ( 60 ). In one example context of implementation, the plural modulated radio frequency carriers have been modulated using Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM).
