摘要:
Systems and methods for computing log likelihood ratios in a communication system are described. A demodulated symbol may be received. A set of scalars may be determined based on a modulation order, a signal-to-noise ratio for the symbol, and a bit of the symbol. At least one log likelihood ratio for the bit may be approximated using a piecewise linear process based on the scalars and the symbol.

In embodiments, a fast Fourier transform (FFT) engine includes a series of stages, each stage containing a butterfly and a data normalization device configured to scale output of the stage's butterfly. The scaling factors are adjusted, for example, periodically or on as-needed basis, so that the dynamic range of the butterflies and the buffers is increased for a given bit-width, or the bit-width of these devices is decreased for the same dynamic range. Additionally, bit-width of other buffer(s) is decreased because of the scaling of the data.

An apparatus and method for enhanced downlink processing of received channels in a mobile communications system is described, containing a buffer for control data and traffic data, a demapper engine with at least two independently operating demappers for demapping the control and traffic data, a log-likelihood-ratio (LLR) buffer for supporting memory segments accessible by the demapper engine, a decoder engine containing decoders, each of the decoders operating on data from selected memory segment(s) of the LLR buffer, and an arbitrator providing control of at least one of the demapper engine, LLR buffer, and decoder engine. At least one of the decoders is suited for decoding control data and another one of the decoders is suited for decoding traffic data. By partitioning the decoding as such, an increase in downlink throughput can be obtained.
摘要:
A method for sending an acknowledgment message in a wireless communication system is disclosed. A first signal is received before receiving a second signal from a transmitter. Decoded first data is extracted from the first signal. A third signal is produced by encoding and modulating the decoded first data. The second signal is demodulated to produce second symbols. The third signal and the second symbols are correlated.

An apparatus operable in a wireless communication system, the apparatus may include an FFT symbol buffer and a demapping device. The FFT symbol buffer can feed FFT symbol data derived from received communication signals to a channel estimation device and a shared buffer. The channel estimation device can also provide intermediate data to the shared buffer. The intermediate data may be in tile form and can be derived from the FFT symbol data. Further, the intermediate data can be stored in the shared buffer. The demapping device can extract the intermediate data from the shared buffer in various forms including sub-packet form.
