Abstract:
A technique wherein when signals, the modulation schemes of which are different, are to be combined, performing the peak suppression using amounts of the respective modulation schemes can effectively reduce the PAPR of a resulting combined signal. A peak suppressing method for use in a peak suppressing circuit, which combines input signals of different modulation schemes in a time domain to provide a combined signal, comprises detecting, as a peak, that portion of the combined signal which excesses a threshold value to generate a peak signal in accordance with the peak; converting the peak signal into a frequency domain signal and then dividing it into signals originating from the input signals to use these input-signal-originated signals as respective suppression signals; and adding, to the input signals, the suppression signals having different suppression amounts for the respective modulation schemes, thereby performing the peak suppression.

In a frequency-division multiplexing transmission apparatus for transmitting data in a frequency spectrum specific to a mobile station, a chip-dividing unit divides each symbol of a transmission-symbol sequence into chips; a first phase rotation unit performs π/2 phase rotation for the odd-numbered chips of the divided chips; a chip-repetition and rearrangement unit compresses the time domains of each chip of the chip sequence after phase rotation, then repeats the chips a specified number of times and rearranges the chips of the obtained repetitive-chip sequences so that they have the same arrangement as the original chip sequence; a second phase rotation unit performs phase rotation that changes at a speed specific to a mobile station for each chip of the rearranged repetitive-chip sequence; and a transmission unit transmits said phase-rotated chips.
Abstract:
A radio receiver includes a branching unit, a first gain-control system, a second-gain control system, and a signal processing unit. The branching unit branches a radio signal received by the radio receiver into two signals. The first-gain control system performs a gain control of a pilot signal in one of branched signals, and the second gain control system performs a gain control of a data signal in another of the branched signals. The signal processing unit synchronizes frames in the received radio signal. The signal processing unit outputs a gain signal to each of the first gain-control system and the second gain-control system. The first gain-control system and the second gain-control system perform the gain controls based on the gain signal.
Abstract:
Provided is a transmitter 1 for processing signals to be transmitted. The transmitter 1 reduces the peak power generated in a transmission signal, effectively, even in case a plurality of peaks exist, for example, in the transmission signal at positions (or times) close to each other. In the transmitter 1, coefficient generating means 35-39 and D1-DM detect the peaks of the levels of the transmission target signals, and generate a peak suppression coefficient for suppressing those detected peaks altogether on the basis of the peaks. Transmission target signal level suppressing means 40, 33 and 34 suppress the levels of the transmission target signals with the peak suppression coefficient generated.
Abstract:
There is a problem that a delay is caused in signal processing by exercising control so as to cause amplitude peaks in a transmission signal to fall in a prescribed range. A transmission apparatus for conducting wireless communication makes a decision whether a specific pattern which causes a peak exceeding a predetermined amplitude range to be generated in frequency characteristics of a transmission signal is included in a transmission code sequence for forming the transmission signal. And the transmission apparatus selects filter coefficients which prescribe a band limiting factor for the frequency characteristics of the transmission signal, on the basis of a result of the decision, and conducts filtering on the transmission code sequence by using the selected filter coefficients.

Techniques to reduce signal amplitude peak-to-average ratio (PAR) in a wireless communications system are described. The apparatus may include a signal conditioning module to receive a baseband signal. The signal conditioning module may split the baseband signal along multiple paths, delay one or more of the paths, and combine the multiple paths to form a conditioned signal having lower signal amplitude PAR than the baseband signal. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
