Abstract:
The equaliser (8) of a radio receiver generates reliability information (q) indicating the probability that a received data symbol (z) depends on a given transmitted value. Said reliability information (q) is determined for each received data symbol (z) by means of trellis-state transitions according to a given metric, whereby trellis-based symbols and decision feedback symbols are used. State-independent symbols previously determined by means of a hard decision are used as decision feedback symbols.
Abstract:
A method for channel equalisation of received data, transmitted via a transmission channel H, comprises the following steps: receiving (S1) the received data in a received data packet; determining (S2) the channel parameters of the transmission channel (H) from the received data Xk and storing the channel parameters in a data field D; calculating (S3) the filter set coefficients (p) of a pre-filter (P) and the equalisation set coefficients (g) of an equaliser by a Givens rotation of the data field (D); setting (S4) the pre-filter (P) and the equaliser with the calculated coefficients (p, g); and equalisation (S5) of the received data by means of the adjusted pre-filter (P) and the adjusted equaliser.
Abstract:
In a radio receiver, an equalizer generates reliability information in the form of soft decision information indicating probabilities that a data symbol received by the radio receiver is based on a specific transmitted value. A bit error rate estimator obtains bit error rate information regarding the bit error rate of the received signal, corresponding to the received data symbols, by evaluating the reliability information.
Abstract:
Both computer procedures are repeated. Results of the second procedure form inputs for the first, using the following stages. The data flow is divided into processing sections (I1, I2, I3, I4, r1, r2, r4, r4; a1, a2, ap). The first computer procedure is carried out for a specific processing stage (r1; a1) and (b2) overlapping in time with execution of the first computer procedure, execution of the second computer procedure for another processing stage (I2; a2). An Independent claim is included for corresponding decoding equipment.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a Viterbi equalizer for equalizing a data signal, which has been transmitted via a disturbed channel. Said equalizer has at least one Add-Compare-Select (ACS) unit, which carries out an ACS operation for each channel state in a time interval k. The equalizer also comprises a unit (CAL1, CAL2) for precalculating and saving metrics increments, said unit precalculating the increments with reference to all transitions from a predeterminable state in the time interval k to the states in time interval k+1 that can be attained by the transitions and stores them in an output memory (ASP), so that they are available for retrieval by the ACS unit.
Abstract:
A Viterbi equalizer for equalization of a data signal transmitted via a channel that is subject to interference has at least one add-compare-select unit (ACS), which carries out an ACS operation for each channel state in a time step k. Furthermore, the equalizer has a unit for calculating metric increments in advance and for storing the metric increments. The calculation unit calculates in advance the metric increments relating to all the transitions from a state which can be predetermined in the time step k to the states which can be reached by the transitions in the time step k+1. The metric increments are retained in an output memory such that they can be called up for utilization in the ACS unit.
Abstract:
An equalizer of a radio receiver for generating reliability information (q) that specifies probabilities of a received data symbol (z) being based on a particular transmitted value. The reliability information (q) is determined for each received data symbol (z) by evaluating trellis state transitions through use of a particular metric, both trellis-based symbols and decision-feedback symbols being evaluated. The decision-feedback symbols used are state-independent symbols that have previously been decided by means of a hard decision.
Abstract:
Reliability information (q) indicating the probabilities that a data symbol (z) received by the radio receiver (7) is based on a certain transmitted value (c) in the form of soft decision information is generated in said radio receiver (7) by an equalizer. Bit error rate information (p) regarding the bit error rate of the receive signal corresponding to the data symbols (z) received is obtained by a bit error rate estimator (15) by evaluating the reliability information (q).
