Abstract:
The device for decoding an incident FEC encoded packet of data within an ARQ scheme, comprises processing means for performing successive decoding processes of successive intermediate FEC code encoded packets related to said incident FEC code encoded packet, said processing means including a FEC decoder. Said processing means comprises determination means (DIL2, IM, SW1, SW2) for determining initial decoding conditions from the FEC code decoding result concerning the preceding intermediate FEC code encoded packet and from said current intermediate FEC code encoded packet, and said FEC decoder (FECD1) is adapted to perform the current FEC code decoding using said initial decoding conditions.
Abstract:
Method for blindly detecting a channel:, like e.g. a HSDPA high speed shared control channel, possibly intended for a designated user equipment among n channels (HS-SCCH1,...,HS-SCCHn) received in parallel by said designated user equipment during a given duration, each channel (HS-SCCH1,...,HS-SCCHn) received during said duration carrying encoded data masked with an identifier associated to a user equipment. The method comprises a selecting phase comprising a demasking step demasking the received masked encoded data of each channel with the identifier of said designated user equipment, a decoding step decoding the demasked encoded data of each channel to obtain a set of digital decoded data for each channel, a calculating step calculating, from each set of digital decoded data, a global information representative of a confidence in digital data received on the physical channel, and a detecting step detecting said channel using said global information.
Abstract:
The method comprises a step of dynamically determining a quality information representative of the conditions of the channel state estimation, and a step of dynamically comparing said quality information with a predetermined criteria for defining a binary result corresponding to good or bad estimation conditions. The turbo-code decoding step comprises dynamically selecting (SC) a Maximum a Posteriori algorithm in the logarithmic domain, called LogMAP algorithm in presence of good conditions, or an approximation of said Maximum a Posteriori algorithm in the logarithmic domain, called MaxLogMAP algorithm, in presence of bad conditions.
Abstract:
The device of slot synchronisation comprises reception means (BE) for receiving a synchronisation signal containing a synchronisation code ; a local memory (LM) containing a copy of the synchronisation code ; correlation means (CMF) for performing a correlation process of the received signal with said copy of the synchronisation code, for successively delivering groups of at the most N indexed samples respectively affected with N correlation values ; selection means (SEL) for selecting among said N samples of the first group a sub-group of N1 indexed samples according to a predetermined selection criteria ; accumulation means (AD) for accumulating over G groups, energy values corresponding to the correlation values of the N1 selected indexed samples, in order to obtain N1 accumulated energy values ; detection means (DM) for acquiring the slot timing by detecting one or more maxima among the N1 accumulated energy values.
