Abstract:

A frame timing synchronization technique for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems is presented. First, a coarse synchronization technique generates a coarse frame timing estimate. The coarse synchronization technique applies a sliding window differentiator to the output of a conventional auto-correlator to mitigate the plateau effect associated with conventional auto-correlation techniques. Second, a fine synchronization technique generates a fine frame timing estimate. The fine synchronization technique uses the coarse frame timing estimate to reduce the number of cross-correlation calculations. Additionally, the fine synchronization technique acquires a fine frame timing estimate based on a signal-to-interference ratio (SIR) metric, which is more robust to multi-paths and pseudo multi-paths caused by cyclic delay diversity (CDD) schemes than conventional cross-correlation synchronization techniques. A fine-tuning technique generates a desired frame timing estimate by searching a first signal path in a searching window around the fine frame timing estimate to further refine frame timing synchronization.

Abstract:

A multiple-input multiple-output multi-band OFDM transmission system () employs a data interleaving arrangement that is backwards compatible with specifications for a legacy interleaver. In one embodiment, an input data stream is parsed into two or more separate data streams by a round robin parser () and each of the separate data streams is shifted by a corresponding number of symbols and then interleaved by a legacy interleaver (). In another embodiment, data for a plurality (N*i) of symbols is split into N sequential groups of data, each group corresponding to one of N MIMO spatial streams, each stream including data for i symbols. Each group is then interleaved by a legacy interleaver (). In a third embodiment, an input data stream is interleaved by a scaled version of the legacy interleaver (), and then parsed by a round-robin parser ().

US Classification:

375260, 375285

Abstract:

A method () for performing a multiple-sub-carrier-joint-modulation (MSJM) precoding.

Abstract:

A method (300) for performing dual carrier modulation (DCM) precoding. The method comprises generating data sub-blocks (S320), independently interleaving the sub-blocks (S330), generating bit vectors by grouping bits of the interleaved sub-blocks (S350), mapping the bit vectors into data symbols (S360), and precoding the data symbols using a precoding matrix to generate precoded symbols (S370).

US Classification:

Abstract:

Relay nodes relay data from a source node () to a destination node () in an asynchronous cooperative wireless communication system. Each relay node () includes a serial-to-parallel partitioner (), a row selector (), a cyclic shifter () and an SCBT modulator (). The serial-to-parallel partitioner partitions symbols corresponding to received information into parallel blocks. The row selector selects one row of a coding matrix for each of the parallel blocks and constructs symbol blocks corresponding to the parallel blocks based on the selected row. The cyclic shifter shifts a cyclic delay of each of the symbol blocks and generates shifted symbol blocks corresponding to the symbol blocks. The SCBT modulator pads a guard interval to each shifted symbol block to remove the effects of asynchronous relay transmission. Constructing the symbol blocks and generating the shifted symbol blocks provides virtual spatial diversity among the relay nodes, which varies directly with a number of participating relay nodes.
