Abstract:
The invention relates to method for decoding a sequence of physical signals, according to which the Viterbi algorithm is carried out twice. When the Viterbi algorithm is carried out for the second time, reliability values for the signal values detected in the first run are iteratively determined on the maximum likelihood path in the following manner: a subsection of the trellis is selected and at least one further path in the subsection of the trellis is determined that ends in the terminal subsignal of the maximum likelihood path; a reliability value is determined for every signal value on the maximum likelihood path; every signal value on the further path is compared with the signal value on the maximum likelihood path and the reliability value or the minimum from the reliability value and the reliability value of the terminal subsignal is selected according to a predetermined criterion.
Abstract:
The invention concerns a transceiver device for use in mobile radio telephony comprising a microprocessor (DSP), at least a task-specific processor (P1, P2, P3) and an interface processor (2). The task-specific processor (P1, P2, P3) can be configured, by transmitting appropriate configuration instructions, from the microprocessor, via the interface processor (2), so as to enable control of a basic function executed by the task-specific processor (P1, P2, P3), through configuration parameter modifications.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a turbo decoder which is provided for decoding a data signal (D) transmitted over a disturbed channel and which comprises a symbol estimator (MAP_DEC). Said estimator comprises a computing means which, by using the knowledge of the fault protection code used on the side of the transmitter, calculates transition metric values, forward and reverse recurrence metric values, and which calculates the output values (LLR) therefrom. The computing means comprise at least one hardware calculating module (RB1/2/3), which is constituted of at least one combinatory logic, for generating at least one type of said values.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for deinterlacing a data signal that has been interlaced in blocks, in accordance with a predefined interlacing specification. According to said method, deinterlacing target addresses are calculated with regard to a first predetermined segment of the data symbols to be deinterlaced and are stored in a target address memory. The relevant segment of the data symbols is then deinterlaced using the calculated target addresses. Said two steps are subsequently repeated until the entire data block is deinterlaced segment-by-segment.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a turbo decoder which is provided for decoding a data signal (D) transmitted over a disturbed channel and which comprises a symbol estimator (MAP_DEC) and a digital signal processor (DSP). Inside a calculating loop of the iterative turbo decoding, the symbol estimator (MAP_DEC) conducts two symbol estimations and the DSP conducts an interleaving procedure and a deinterleaving procedure. A bi-directional interface (FMI) is provided for the transmission of data between the symbol estimator (MAP_DEC) and the DSP.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a device for carrying out search procedures, comprising a memory for storing a digital receive data sequence and a memory in which a predetermined correlation data sequence is stored. A correlator device comprises a first section (A1) in which partial sequences of the receive data sequence are correlated with partial sequences of the correlation data sequence. In the second section (A2), an adjustable number (K) of partial sequence correlation results (OUT1) are added up to produce an accumulated correlation result (OUT2).
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for synchronising a mobile radio receiver with a radio signal time-slot structure. According to said method, a first partial section (A1) of a received time-slot synchronisation code sequence, said section having been detected during a first time-slot period (T1) and a second partial section (A3) of a received time-slot synchronisation code sequence, said section having been detected during a second time-slot period (T2) are correlated with the known time-slot synchronisation code sequence which has been transmitted from the base station. The temporal position of the time-slots is determined from the two sets of correlation results which have been received.
Abstract:
The synchronization method provides synchronization of a radio receiver with a transmitter by correlation of the signal received from the transmitter with a known sequence in a first selection step and comparison of the correlation result with a threshold value, for providing a number of possible synchronization time points, from which the actual synchronization time point is determined in a second selection step. The threshold value used in the first selection step is adapted in dependence on parameters measured during the correlation. An Independent claim for a method for synchronization of a receiver with a transmitter periodically transmitting a known sequence is also included.
