Abstract:
Methods and systems are provided for adaptive guard interval (GI) combining. A signal carrying a symbol that is preceded by a guard interval (GI) that includes a portion of the symbol may be received, and a portion of the GI that is free from inter-symbol interference (ISI) may be determined. Only a part of the ISI-free portion of the GI may be selected. The selected part of the ISI-free portion of the GI may be less than a whole of the ISI-free portion. The selection may be configured based on a parameter that is applied to a function used in extracting the symbol. The parameter may be a timing adjustment, relative to a start of the symbol, applied to the function when extracting the symbol. Only the part of the ISI-free portion of the GI may then be extracted and combined with a corresponding portion of the symbol.

Abstract:
Methods and systems are provided for adaptive guard interval (GI) combining. When a signal carrying at least one symbol that is preceded by a guard interval that comprises a portion of the symbol is received, a portion of the guard interval that is free from inter-symbol interference (ISI) may be determined, and only a part of the ISI-free portion of the guard interval may be extracted. The part of the ISI-free portion of the guard interval may be selected based on timing adjustment, relative to start of the symbol, that is applied to a function used in extracting the symbol. The extracted part of the ISI-free portion of the guard interval may then be combined with a corresponding portion of the symbol. The extracting and/or combining may be performed after a determination that a delay spread is smaller than a predetermined channel delay.
