Abstract:
A method and apparatus for correcting direct current (DC) offset errors of a received signal in a direct conversion receiver (DCR) are provided. DC offset correction algorithms are incorporated into the DCR, each algorithm being optimized for a particular receive signal operating environment. The DC offset correction algorithms remove DC offset errors in baseband In-phase and Quadrature-phase signals received within the direct conversion receiver baseband signal path. Individual DC offset correction algorithms are selected for use as determined by a signal quality estimator component. A DC offset correction component of the direct conversion receiver determines an appropriate DC offset correction algorithm suited for a particular operating environment. A criterion for a signal quality estimate is set to control transitioning between DCOC algorithms. A dual threshold strategy may be adopted to transition between one DC offset correction algorithm and another DC offset correction algorithm to provide hysteresis.
Abstract:
A received synchronization pattern is compared against first and second know n synchronization patterns. If the received pattern is substantially similar t o the first known pattern, the payload is processed as voice; and if the received pattern is substantially similar to the second known pattern, the payload is processed as non-voice. Alternatively, a target synchronization pattern dependent on an operating mode is selected. The received pattern is compared against the target pattern. If the received pattern is substantiall y similar to the target pattern, the payload is processed; otherwise, the burs t is discarded. In yet another alternative, the received pattern is compared against first and second known synchronization patterns having a common length. If the received pattern is substantially similar to the first known pattern, a first operating mode is selected, and if the received pattern is substantially similar to the second known pattern, a second operating mode i s selected.
Abstract:
In a wireless communication system with an air interface comprising a plurality of bursts, a plurality of bursts is defined. Each burst comprises a field (300) embedded within the burst. The field (300) is one of a synchronization field (300') and a signaling field (300''). When the field (300) is a synchronization field (300'), a position of at least one subsequent burst comprising the signaling field (300'') is defined, and a position of at least one subsequent burst comprising the synchronization field (300') is defined.
Abstract:
In an outbound transmission ( 300 ), an address of a first subscriber unit assigned to transmit in a first inbound slot is identified. With one bit in the outbound transmission ( 300 ), an additional inbound slot the first subscriber unit is assigned to transmit is identified.

Abstract:
A method for the selection of forward error correction (FEC)/ constellation pairings (800) for digital transmitted segments based on learning radio link adaptation (RLA) including formatting a packet transmission having a predetermined number of information bits (801). The packet is then split into a plurality of segments (803) where an RLA is used (805) to determine the optimum format of the packet. The plurality of segments is then sent to a channel encoder for FEC encoding and symbol mapping (807) at a rate selected by the RLA. The segments are then formatted into packet blocks (809) and transmitted in blocks that form a time slot at a constant symbol rate.
