    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To accomplish an equalizer in which pull-in is performed at a high speed and accuracy is improved even under a fast varying environment.
    SOLUTION: The present method is for optimizing an equalizer at a receiver in a communication system by training virtual parallel equalizers. Multiple configurations are applied for training an equalizer, and a performance measurement or estimate is determined. The performance measures of the multiple configurations are compared to determine the optimum configuration. The training and selection are performed at a sample rate sufficiently higher than the received sample rate as to allow optimization in between processing of data samples.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To avoid error propagation by compensating for slicer errors while using a correction term in hybrid decision feedback equalization. SOLUTION: Filter coefficients for an equalizer are selected so as to minimize the cost function related to an equalizer, including a correction term as a function of the energy of the filter coefficients. The equalizer includes a coefficient generator that are responsive to the correction term. A transmitted symbol from a received sample as a function of Signal-to-Interference and Noise Ratio (SINR) of the received sample is estimated. The received sample is quantized and mapped to a region of a grid overlaid on the transmitted symbol constellation. The region may correspond to a symbol estimate value or may be processed further to obtain a symbol estimate value. COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide multiple analog and digital downconversion. SOLUTION: In a carrier recovery method using multiple stages of carrier frequency recovery, a receiver uses multiple frequency generation sources to generate carrier signals used to downconvert a received signal. An analog frequency reference 114 having a wide frequency range and coarse frequency resolution is used in conjunction with a digital frequency reference 110 having a narrow frequency range and fine frequency resolution. The multiple carrier signals are multiplied by a received signal to effect a multi-stage downconversion, resulting in a baseband signal. A frequency tracking module 108 measures the residual frequency error present in the baseband signal. The measured residual frequency error is then used to adjust the frequencies of the carrier signals generated by the multiple frequency generation sources 114 and 110 through a processor.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce interference caused by concurrent broadcast transmissions from multiple transmitters.SOLUTION: Synchronized broadcast transmits the same broadcast content using the same waveform from multiple transmitters. The transmitters each apply the same spreading code for broadcast transmissions. In a spread-spectrum communication system having a time division multiplexed forward link, a synchronized broadcast transmission is inserted into a broadcast slot. An Orthogonal Frequency Divisional Multiplex (OFDM) waveform is used for the synchronized broadcast transmission. An OFDM receiver is then used to process the received synchronized broadcast transmission. A broadcast Pseudo-random Noise (PN) code is used for use by multiple transmitters. An equalizer is then used to estimate the synchronized broadcast transmission.
