    Abstract: An apparatus and method for enhanced downlink processing of received channels in a mobile communications system is described, containing a buffer for control data and traffic data, a demapper engine with at least two independently operating demappers for demapping the control and traffic data, a log-likelihood-ratio (LLR) buffer for supporting memory segments accessible by the demapper engine, a decoder engine containing decoders, each of the decoders operating on data from selected memo-ry segment(s) of the LLR buffer, and an arbitrator providing control of at least one of the demapper engine, LLR buffer, and decoder engine. At least one of the decoders is suited for decoding control data and another one of the decoders is suited for decoding traffic data. By partitioning the decoding as such, an increase in downlink throughput can be obtained.

    Abstract: A demodulation mask bitmap includes binary mask values. Each mask value corresponds to an input resource element to a demodulator. For each mask value of a first state, a demodulation engine of the demodulator is not clocked and the demodulator outputs a zero-valued resource element. For each mask value of a second state, the demodulation engine is clocked, the input resource element is demodulated, and the demodulator outputs a demodulated resource element. A demodulation mask bitmap is designed to mask pilot resource elements and corrupted resource elements. Power is conserved by not clocking the demodulation engine for corrupted and pilot resource elements. Subsequent LLR generation and decode operations are simplified. Decoder performance is improved because the decoder does not decode LLR values derived from corrupted resource elements and/or resource elements not relevant to the reconstruction of a communicated message.

    Abstract: Within a receiver, a channel estimation mechanism involves a hardware interpolator. In a first mode, narrowband pilot values are analyzed to generate channel parameters that are supplied to the interpolator such that the interpolator generates channel estimate values. The channel estimate values are used to demodulate a tile of a frame. In a second mode, broadband pilot values are supplied to an IFFT, thereby generating time domain values. After time domain processing, an FFT is employed to generate intermediate channel estimate values. These intermediate values are analyzed to determine channel parameters, which in turn are supplied to the hardware interpolator so that the interpolator generates a larger number of channel estimate values. After phase adjustment, the channel estimate values are used in demodulation. Use of the interpolator in the broadband mode allows the FFT employed to be of a smaller order, and to consume less power and/or processing resources.
