Abstract:
A communications interface is used in a telecommunications network station which including a number of network elements, a controller for controlling the network elements and an internal bus interconnecting the controller and the network elements. The controller operates as a busmaster on the bus and each of the network elements operates as a slave on the bus. The communications interface has a pool of buffers for temporary message storage and a polling function for temporarily storing a message received from the bus in a buffer and/or for taking a message from a buffer for transmission over the bus. A binary sequence number is inverted for a reply if a received message is valid, otherwise it is not changed for the reply. A message is re-sent when the sequence number in a reply has not changed.
Abstract:
An electronic data transmission system has a low peak-to-average power ratio by including a transmitter circuit which receives an input signal and in response generates a distorted output signal. This distorted output signal is generated by amplifying the input signal with one particular gain when the input signal is at a maximum magnitude which gives the distorted output signal a corresponding maximum magnitude, and by amplifying the input signal with a larger gain when the input signal is in a predetermined range below the maximum magnitude. The distorted output signal travels over a communication channel to a receiver circuit, which regenerates the input signal by amplifying the distorted output signal with a gain that is the inverse of the gain by which the distorted signal is generated.
Abstract:
A digital base band section includes spread units for directly spreading input transmission data every channel by different spread codes to output spread signals, a summer for summing up the spread signals to output a multiplexed spread signal, a limiter for limiting an amplitude of the multiplexed spread signal not to exceed a predetermined value, and a roll-off filter limits a transmission spectrum by shaping a waveform of the transmission signal to output a digital base band signal to an analog base band/RF section, where it is converted into an analog base band signal by a digital-to-analog converter and a carrier is modulated to convert the analog base band signal into an RF signal in a modulator, which RF signal is amplified in a transmission power amplifier to transmit the amplified RF signal through a transmission antenna.
Abstract:
In order to maintain low-splatter in a peak-to-average reduction for a linear communication system, a method of windowed-clipping is used. When a sample of input signal is determined to be above a predetermined threshold, a signal peak is found and an attenuating window is centered at the peak. The attenuating window is applied to the input signal.
Abstract:
Selective processing of one or more packets to be transmitted from a wireless communication device to another wireless communication device is effective to reduce the peak to average power ratio (PAPR) of the transmission. The one or more packets are transmitted via two or more sub-bands of an available transmission medium. The number of coefficients or factors within that sequence corresponds to the number of sub-bands via which the one or more packets are to be transmitted. Also, a phase ramp or time-domain cyclic shift may be added to one or more of the packets after having undergone multiplication by one of the coefficients or factors within the sequence.

Abstract:
Embodiments of the present disclosure provide an estimation apparatus and compensation apparatus for clipping distortion of multicarrier signals and a receiver. The estimation apparatus includes: a first calculating unit configured to multiply an error signal of each subcarrier in all or part of subcarriers in received multicarrier signals by a conjugation of an error signal of a subcarrier neighboring or spaced apart from each subcarrier; a second calculating unit configured to calculate an average value of all results of multiplication; a third calculating unit configured to calculate parameters of the clipping distortion of the multicarrier signals according to the average value; and an estimating unit configured to estimate the clipping distortion of the multicarrier signals according to the calculated parameters of the clipping distortion. By calculating the parameters of the clipping distortion of the multicarrier signals according to the error signals of the subcarriers, the clipping distortion of the multicarrier signals may be accurately estimated and compensated, with the method of calculation being simple and the bit error rate being low.

Abstract:
The peak-to-average power ratio of an input signal can be reduced prior to amplification. This reduction in the peak-to-average power ratio can be accomplished without adding significant intermodulation distortion to the input signal. The resulting input signal can therefore have a peak-to-average power ratio that does not exceed the output backoff of the amplifier thereby preventing the amplifier from being operated in saturation and, as a result, minimizing the intermodulation distortion added by the amplifier. The peak-to-average power ratio of an input signal can be reduced using two stages of signal clipping. By employing two stages, the intermodulation distortion introduced to the input signal as it passes through the stages is minimized. Also, because this two-stage approach does not attempt to account for intermodulation distortion introduced by the downstream amplifier, it can be implemented without any prior knowledge of the amplifier's transfer function or any output monitoring scheme.
