20100091891 | LINK QUALITY METRIC BASED ANTENNA SELECTION FOR TRANSCEIVERS - A method and system for link quality metric based antenna selection for transceiver are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method for selecting an antenna from multiple antennas associated with a receiver, includes receiving multi-carrier modulated signals via a currently active antenna of the receiver, and estimating a predicted packet error rate (PER) associated with a current receive path of the receiver. The current receive path is used to process the multi-carrier modulated signals. The method further includes selecting a next antenna from the multiple antennas for forming a next receive path of the receiver based on the predicted PER and a packet error history associated with at least one previous receive path. | 04-15-2010 |
20110173508 | RADIO RECEIVER AND METHOD FOR CHANNEL ESTIMATION - A radio receiver includes an input terminal to receive a first radio signal, an equalizer, coupled to the input terminal, to equalize the first radio signal and to output an equalized signal and a first channel estimator, coupled to the input terminal and the equalizer, to estimate first channel parameters by using the first radio signal and a signal derived from the equalized signal. The radio receiver may contain a controller implementing a HARQ protocol and a HARQ buffer to store likelihood information based on the equalized signal. The radio receiver may contain a reconstruction unit to provide the signal derived from the equalized signal based on a content of the HARQ buffer. | 07-14-2011 |
20110182329 | DEVICE AND METHOD FOR DISTORTION-ROBUST DECODING - A device for decoding code symbols which are interfered with a distortion during a predetermined distortion time interval includes a reliability information generator to provide reliability information based on the code symbols and a decoder to decode the code symbols into code words. The decoder is configured to decode the code symbols based on weighted reliability information, wherein the weighted reliability information is generated from the reliability information by applying a first weight during times not coinciding with the distortion time interval, and by applying a second weight different from the first weight during times coinciding with the distortion time interval. | 07-28-2011 |
20120114016 | Method for Processing Data - A method includes encoding data according to a space time transmit diversity scheme and spatial-multiplexing the encoded data. | 05-10-2012 |
