PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a digital signal processor which enhances performance and availability. SOLUTION: A DSP includes a set of three data buses over which data may be exchanged with a register bank 120 and three data memories 102, 103 and 104. The register bank 120 may be used that includes registers accessible by at least two processing units 128 and 130. An instruction fetch unit 156 may include that receives instructions of variable length stored in an instruction memory 152. The instruction memory 152 may be separated from the set of three data memories 102, 103 and 104. COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and an apparatus for efficient use of communication resources for processing a plurality of data frames in a communication system. SOLUTION: A data frame is partitioned into a plurality of portions of data symbols. A plurality of channel elements is assigned to demodulate data symbols of the plurality of portions of data symbols. Channel elements are assigned to the data frame at high data rate more than to the data frame at low data rate. COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
The punctured pilot channel comprises information symbols of uncertain sign punctured into a sequence of pilot channel symbols of predetermined sign. The apparatus includes an information sign demodulation circuit for determining the sign of the information symbols in response to the pilot channel symbols. A continuous pilot generator generates a non-punctured pilot channel of predetermined sign from the information symbols and the pilot channel symbols. In a first embodiment, the information sign demodulator further comprises a dot product circuit for calculating a dot product of the pilot channel symbols and the punctured information symbols, and a threshold comparator for comparing the dot product to a predetermined threshold.
Abstract:
Techniques for coherent demodulation in the presence of phase discontinuities is described. In the exemplary embodiment, times when phase discontinuities occur are known apriori by a receiver in which demodulation is being performed. In an alternate embodiment, the discontinuity location is signaled to the receiver in advance by the transmitter which generates the signals being demodulated. A pilot signal is prepared for optimal coherent demodulation by the use of two filters: one capable of withstanding the effects of phase discontinuity; a second providing superior filtering performance than the first so long as phase discontinuities are not present. Both filters are simultaneously operated. However, the superior performing filter is selected for use in demodulation whenever possible.

A circuit for digital signal processing calls for the use of a variable length instruction set. An exemplary DSP includes a set of three data buses (108, 110, 112) over which data may be exchanged with a register bank (120) and three data memories (102, 103, 104). A register bank (120) may be used that has registers accessible by at least two processing units (128, 130). An instruction fetch unit (156) may be included that receives instructions of variable length stored in an instruction memory (152). The instruction memory (152) may be separate from the set of three data memories (102, 103, 104).

Abstract:
A novel and improved method and apparatus for coherent demodulation in the presence of phase discontinuities is described. The pilot signal is prepared for optimal coherent demodulation by the use of two filters: one capable of withstanding the effects of phase discontinuity; a second providing superior filtering performance than the first so long as phase discontinuities are no t present. Both filters are simultaneously operated. In the exemplary embodime nt of the present invention, a sliding window filter (410) is employed for the superior performing filter absent phase discontinuity and a block filter (44 0) is employed for use when phase discontinuities are present.
