Abstract:
A method and apparatus for scaling a soft bit for decoding in a wireless communication system are described. A scaling factor is calculated for a received symbol based on an estimated signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the received symbol and the scaling factor is applied to a soft bit of the received symbol. A multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) scheme may be implemented to transmit multiple data streams. In such case, a soft bit of a received symbol on each data stream is scaled by a scaling factor for the received symbol on each data stream.

A communications device for separating source signals provided by M signal sources includes an antenna array comprising N antenna elements for receiving at least N different summations of the M source signals. A code despreader is connected to the N antenna elements for decoding the at least N different summations of the M source signals. Each one of the N different summations includes k codes for providing k different summations of the M source signals associated therewith. A blind signal separation processor forms a mixing matrix comprising at least kN different summations of the M source signals, and separates desired source signals from the mixing matrix. The mixing matrix has a rank equal up to kN.

Abstract:
Several embodiments of a space diversity trellis interleaver system are provided for communicating data over a plurality of separate communication paths in order to inhibit distortion caused by impulse noise or other correlated noise and enhance the data transmission rate of data communications. The transmitter is designed to receive a plurality of data streams from data terminal equipment (DTE), which can be one or more devices. One or more convolutional encoders, preferably trellis encoders, encode each of the data streams. In an alternative embodiment, more than one trellis encoder is used to trellis encode each data stream. Data segments from the convolutionally encoded data streams are interleaved with a switch. The plurality of interleaved convolutionally-encoded data streams are modulated and transmitted onto a respective plurality of separate communication paths. At the receiver, the plurality of data streams is received from the separate communication paths and demodulated. The data segments are de-interleaved with a switch, and then the de-interleaved data streams are convolutionally decoded with convolutional decoders, preferably trellis decoders. The de-interleaved convolutionally decoded data streams are communicated to one or more DTEs.

A system and method for increasing bandwidth efficiency and data transmission performance of radio frequency wireless, optical wireless and fiber-optic digital communication links without requiring an increase in signal power. The system utilizes bandwidth efficient space-time coding to correct transmission errors and bandwidth efficient space-time modulation to dramatically increase data throughput without requiring additional signal bandwidth or power.

A transmitter encodes an input bitstream using space-time trellis coding (STTC). The encoder includes a serial to parallel convertor to produce a first and second output bitstreams. First and second three bit shift registers are connected to produce first and second output bitstreams. A multiplier applies a code generating weight to each bit of the shift registers to encode the bitstreams. A first switch is connected between a last bit of the first shift register and a first bit of the second shift register. A second switch is connected between the second output and the first bit of the second shift register. The first set of encoded bit streams and the second set of encoded bitstreams are combined and mapped to a frequency domain.

A mobile communication system includes at least three transmission antennas of first to third transmission antennas, and uses an overlapped antenna scheme for grouping the first and second transmission antennas into a first transmission antenna group and grouping the second and third transmission antennas into a second transmission antenna group. First and second modulators modulate L information bit streams to be transmitted through the first transmission antenna group and output first and second modulation symbol streams. Third and fourth modulators modulate L other information bit streams to be transmitted through the second transmission antenna group and output third and fourth symbol streams. First to fourth puncturers puncture at least one modulation symbol in a predetermined position among the first to fourth modulation symbol streams. A multiplexer transmits a modulation symbol stream output from the first puncturer through the first transmission antenna, transmits modulation symbol streams output from the second and third puncturers through the second transmission antenna after summation, and transmits a modulation symbol stream output from the third puncturer through the third transmission antenna.
