20120063533 | Encoding and decoding using constrained interleaving - Serially-concatenated codes are formed in accordance with the present invention using a constrained interleaver. The constrained interleaver cause the minimum distance of the serial concatenated code to increase above the minimum distance of the inner code alone by adding a constraint that forces some or all of the distance of the outer code onto the serially-concatenated code. This allows the serially-concatenated code to be jointly optimized in terms of both minimum distance and error coefficient to provide significant performance advantages. These performance advantages allow a noise margin target to be achieved using simpler component codes and a much shorter interleaver than was needed when using prior art codes such as Turbo codes. Decoders are also provided. Both encoding and decoding complexity can be lowered, and interleavers can be made much shorter, thereby shortening the block lengths needed in receiver elements such as equalizers and other decision-directed loops. Also, other advantages are provided such as the elimination of a error floor present in prior art serially-concatenated codes.

20160380652 | POWER DETECTION OF INDIVIDUAL CARRIER OF AGGREGATED CARRIER - Aspects of this disclosure relate to detecting power associated with an individual carrier of a carrier aggregated signal. In an embodiment, a carrier aggregation system includes radio frequency (RF) sources, a transmission output, and a directional coupler. The RF sources, such as power amplifiers, can each be associated with a separate carrier. The transmission output can provide a carrier aggregated signal that includes an aggregation of the separate carriers associated with the RF sources. The directional coupler can provide an indication of RF power of one of the separate carriers. | 12-29-2016 |
20160380683 | SIGNAL GENERATION METHOD AND SIGNAL GENERATION DEVICE - A transmission method simultaneously transmitting a first modulated signal and a second modulated signal at a common frequency performs precoding on both signals using a fixed precoding matrix and regularly changes the phase of at least one of the signals, thereby improving received data signal quality for a reception device. | 12-29-2016 |
20160380796 | Peak To Average Power Ratio Suppression - A transmitter comprises a first peak-to-average-power ratio (PAPR) suppression circuit and a second peak-to-average-power ratio (PAPR) suppression circuit. The first PAPR suppression circuit may receive a first sequence of time-domain symbols to be transmitted, alter the first sequence based on each of a plurality of symbol ordering and/or inversion descriptors to generate a corresponding plurality of second sequences of time-domain symbols, measure a PAPR corresponding to each of the second sequences, select one of the plurality of symbol ordering and/or inversion descriptors based on the measurement of PAPR, and convey the selected one of the symbol ordering and/or inversion descriptors to the second PAPR suppression circuit. The second PAPR suppression circuit may receive the first sequence of time-domain symbols to be transmitted, and alter the first sequence based on the selected one of the symbol ordering and/or inversion descriptors to generate a reordered and/or inverted symbol sequence. | 12-29-2016 |
