Abstract:
A method and apparatus that reduces the amount of constellation rotation due to power amplifier (PA 125) insertion phase variation during activation (i.e., turn on) of a transmitter (100). This is accomplished by applying an instantaneous phase rotation (175) during the transmitter turn on at digital baseband (165, 170) to counteract and minimize unwanted phase variations.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to secret key generation and authentication methods that are based on joint randomness not shared by others (JRNSO), in which unique channel response between two communication terminals generates a secret key. Multiple network access points use a unique physical location of a receiving station to increase user data security. High data rate communication data is encrypted by generating a random key and a pseudo-random bit stream. A configurable interleaving is achieved by introduction of JRNSO bits to an encoder used for error-correction codes. Databases of user data are also protected by JRNSO-based key mechanisms. Additional random qualities are induced on the joint channel using MIMO eigen-beamforming, antenna array deflection, polarization selection, pattern deformation, and path selection by beamforming or time correlation. Gesturing induces randomness according to uniquely random patterns of a human user's arm movements inflected to the user device.
Abstract:
A digital baseband (DBB) radio frequency (RF) receiver (105) includes a digital high pass filter compensation (HPFC) module (205) used to suppress group delay variation distortion caused by using low cost analog high pass filters (HPFO) (175A, 175B, 185A, 185B) in the receiver. The digital HPFC module (205) reduces a cutoff frequency, established by the HPFs for the real and imaginary signal component frequency domain responses by providing a first compensation signal having a first predetermined value (K1). The digital HPFC module adjusts the gain of the high pass response of the real and imaginary signal component frequency domains by providing a second compensation signal having a second predetermined value (K2).
Abstract:
A method and system for determining at least one DC offset compensation value used to suppress carrier leakage occurring on real (184) and imaginary (186) signal paths in an analog radio transmitter when a significant temperature change (168) in the transmitter is detected. At least one DC offset signal having a level that corresponds to the at least one DC offset compensation value is provided to a digital DC offset compensation module which adjusts the DC level of at least one of the real and imaginary signal paths (184 and 186).
Abstract:
An analog/digital gain control device avoid some of the requirements associated with the nature of a closed-loop AGC circuits and which meets the remaining requirements without much difficulty uses an analog to digital conversion method that increases the number of effective ADC bits by compressing the baseband input analog signal using a logarithmic circuit. After the compressed analog signal is converted into a digital signal, a digital anti-log process or look-up table (LUT) is used to expand the digital signal back to the original linear scale. The word size of the output of the anti-log process is larger than the input word size due to the nature of the anti-log function. To reduce the word size of the digital signal an open loop normalization technique can be applied.
Abstract:
For direct up- or down-conversion between baseband and carrier frequency signals, each component of such a signal is supplied to a first mixer together with a local oscillator signal at one-half the carrier frequency and the output from that first mixer is supplied to a second mixer together with the same local oscillator signal, but at a phase which differs by 90 DEG from that of the local oscillator signal supplied to the first mixer.
Abstract:
In a digital Cartesian modulation transmitter, an encoder generates 1-bit logic signals from in-phase and quadrature signals. A single bit digital modulator multiplexes the 1-bit logic signals for Cartesian I/Q modulation. A digital upconverter (DUG) upconverts the multiplexed 1-bit logic signal. A digital power amplifier (DPA) generates a radio frequency (RF) signal based on the upconverted signal. In a digital polar modulation transmitter, an encoder converts a magnitude signal to a first 1-bit logic signal. A digital phase modulator modulates a carrier using a phase signal to generate a second 1-bit logic signal. A DUC upconverts the second 1-bit logic signal. A first-in first-out (FIFO) memory stores the first 1-bit logic signal. A combiner combines angle information contained in the second 1-bit logic signal with magnitude information contained in the first 1-bit logic signal stored in the FIFO memory. A DPA generates an RF signal based on the combined signal.
Abstract:
In order to compensate for performance degradation caused by inferior low-cost analog radio component tolerances of an analog radio, a wireless communication transmitter employs a control process to implement numerous digital signal processing (DSP) techniques to compensate for deficiencies of such analog components so that modern specifications may be relaxed. By monitoring a plurality of parameters associated with the analog radio, such as temperature, bias current or the like, enhanced phase and amplitude compensation, as well as many other radio frequency (RF) parameters may be implemented.
Abstract:
In a time-division duplex (TDD) system, a reliable initialization scheme that is applicable to an automatic gain controller (AGC) at a base station is implemented in various forms depending on the availability of certain information such as signal-to-interference ratio (SIR), spreading factors and other parameters. A more accurate estimation of the initial control word of a gain-adjustable amplifier for one or more time slots is implemented. The scheme is applicable to AGC initialization for each time slot of the TDD system, but is also applicable to other systems of transmission, without limitation.

A wireless network provides controlled wireless communications with multi-mode wireless WTRUs (33, 37). The wireless network has at least one base station (25) having a transceiver operating in an infrastructure communication mode withmulti mode WTRUs and a controller that transmits control signals via infrastructure communications with a WTRU that control peer-to-peer mode communications (40) of that WTRU with other WTRUs. A WTRU has transceiver components configured for selective operation in an infrastructure communication mode with a network base station and in a peer-to-peer communication mode with other WTRUs. The WTRU also has a transceiver controller configured to selectively control peer-to-peer mode communications with other WTRUs based on communication signals received in infrastructure communications with a network base station. Preferably, the transceiver controller is configured to control the transceiver components to switch between infrastructure communication mode and peer-to-peer communication mode based on(duality of Service criteria).
