摘要:
Systems and methods are provided for enhancing signal quality at receivers in a wireless network. In one embodiment, an antenna is selected from a subset of antennas based on a signal quality parameter such as received signal power or signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). In another embodiment, multiple antennas are applied to independent signal processing paths for the respective antennas where output from the paths is then combined to enhance overall signal quality at the receiver.

Systems and methods are provided for determining position location information in a wireless network. In one embodiment, timing offset information is communicated between multiple transmitters and one or more receivers. Such information enables accurate position or location determinations to be made that account for timing differences throughout the network. In another embodiment, transmitter phase adjustments are made that advance or delay transmissions from the transmitters to account for potential timing differences at receivers. In yet another embodiment, combinations of timing offset communications and/or transmitter phase adjustments can be employed in the wireless network to facilitate position location determinations.

Coding techniques for a (e.g., OFDM) communication system capable of transmitting data on a number of “transmission channels” at different information bit rates based on the channels' achieved SNR. A base code is used in combination with common or variable puncturing to achieve different coding rates required by the transmission channels. The data (i.e., information bits) for a data transmission is encoded with the base code, and the coded bits for each channel (or group of channels with the similar transmission capabilities) are punctured to achieve the required coding rate. The coded bits may be interleaved (e.g., to combat fading and remove correlation between coded bits in each modulation symbol) prior to puncturing. The unpunctured coded bits are grouped into non-binary symbols and mapped to modulation symbols (e.g., using Gray mapping). The modulation symbol may be “pre-conditioned” and prior to transmission.

A method of initializing a receiver is performed during an initialization mode. Timing offset values for a timing recovery circuit are repeatedly selected. For each selected timing offset value, timing recovery is performed using the timing offset value and groups of weights for a decision feedback equalizer are repeatedly selected. Each selected group of weights is used to perform blind decision feedback equalization. For each selected group of weights, a metric indicating data reception quality is computed. A timing offset value and a group of weights are chosen based on the computed metrics.

Techniques for multiplexing and transmitting multiple data streams are described. Transmission of the multiple data streams occurs in “super-frames”. Each super-frame has a predetermined time duration and is further divided into multiple (e.g., four) frames. Each data block for each data stream is outer encoded to generate a corresponding code block. Each code block is partitioned into multiple subblocks, and each data packet in each code block is inner encoded and modulated to generate modulation symbols for the packet. The multiple subblocks for each code block are transmitted in the multiple frames of the same super-frame, one subblock per frame. Each data stream is allocated a number of transmission units in each super-frame and is assigned specific transmission units to achieve efficient packing. A wireless device can select and receive individual data streams.

A method and apparatus for demapping a double squared quadrature amplitude modulated (DSQ) symbol is disclosed. One or more first log likelihood ratios (LLRs) are determined, for a first subset of constellation points of a corresponding DSQ constellation, using an LLR approximation. One or more second LLRs are determined, for a second subset of constellation points of the DSQ constellation, using a lookup table. The DSQ symbol is then demapped to one of a plurality of constellation points of the DSQ constellation based on the first and second LLRs. For some embodiments, the first subset of constellation points may correspond with an inner region of the DSQ constellation and the second subset of constellation points may correspond with an outer region of the DSQ constellation.

A system and method for frequency diversity uses interleaving in a wireless communication system utilizing orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) with various FFT sizes. Subcarriers of one or more interlaces are interleaved in a bit reversal fashion and the one or more interlaces are interleaved in the bit reversal fashion.
