  • Patent number: 8036323
    Abstract: Aspects of a method and system for decoding single antenna interference cancellation (SAIC) and redundancy processing adaptation using frame process are provided. A receiver may decode video, voice, and/or speech bit sequences based on a first decoding algorithm that may utilize data redundancy and that may impose physical constraints. The receiver may also decode a bit sequence based on a second decoding algorithm that utilizes SAIC. The first and second decoding algorithms may be adapted to perform in parallel and a decoded received bit sequence may be selected based on a redundancy verification parameter. The first and second decoding algorithms may also be adapted to be performed sequentially where the subsequent decoding operation may be conditioned to the initial decoding operation. Moreover, either the first or the second decoding algorithm may be selected for decoding the received bit sequence. The selection may be based on noise and/or interference measurements.

  • Patent number: 8019615
    Abstract: Aspects of a method and system for decoding GSM speech data using redundancy are provided. A decoding algorithm in a frame process may be utilized to generate a bit-sequence for GSM speech data received via a burst process. The decoding algorithm may be a modified Viterbi algorithm, for example. The frame process may comprise verifying a CRC for the bit-sequence and/or decrypting the bit-sequence. In some instances, estimates of the bit-sequence may be fed back to the decoding algorithm. A speech stream that satisfies speech constraints may be generated based on the generated bit-sequence. The speech constraints may comprise gain and/or pitch continuity, for example. The generated speech stream may be decoded via a voice decoder that supports full rate (FR), adaptive multi-rate (AMR), and/or enhanced full-rate (EFR) speech coding. Frame process results may be fed back to the burst process to improve decoding of received GSM speech data.

  • Publication number: 20110110352
    Abstract: Aspects of a method and system for redundancy-based decoding of voice content in a wireless local area network (WLAN) system are provided. A WLAN receiver may determine whether a decoded portion of a received packet comprises voice content and may select a redundancy-based decoder to decode a remaining portion of the packet when voice content is detected. The redundancy-based decoder may be a Viterbi decoder. The redundancy-based decoder may be selected to decode a determined number of subsequent packets or to decode subsequent packets for a determined amount of time. After decoding the remaining portion of the packet and any subsequent packets, the WLAN receiver may select a standard Viterbi decoder to decode additional received packets. The WLAN receiver may generate at least one signal to select the redundancy-based decoder and the standard Viterbi decoder.

  • Publication number: 20110105039
    Abstract: A method for successive interference cancellation in code division multiple access (CDMA) systems is provided that uses variable interferer weights. This method allows interfering signals to be cancelled in order to recover a transmitted data signal. This method involves receiving the data signal subject to interference from at least one interfering signal. A first interfering signal is identified. Then an interferer weight coefficient associated with the first interfering signal is generated. This allows the first interfering signal to be cancelled from the received data signal using the interferer weight coefficient. These processes may then be reiterated for other interfering signals. It is then possible to recover the transmitted data signal from the received data signal.

  • Patent number: 7903728
    Abstract: Equalizer training method using re-encoded bits and known training sequences. A multi-branch equalizer processing module is operable to cancel interference associated with received radio frequency (RF) burst(s) (e.g., using at least a first equalizer processing branch and a second equalizer processing branch). The first equalizer processing branch is operable to be trained based upon known training sequences and to equalize the received RF burst. The second equalizer processing branch uses at least partially re-encoded data bits to train linear equalizer(s) within the second equalizer processing branch. A buffer may initially store the received RF burst(s), which are retrieved and equalized by the second equalizer processing branch once the linear equalizer(s) are trained. The cooperation operation of these and other various components allows interfering signals to be cancelled and for more accurate processing of the received RF bursts to occur.

  • Patent number: 7848400
    Abstract: A method having enhanced decoding operations associated with receiving multiple Radio Frequency (RF) Burst(s) is provided. Multiple RF burst(s) are received where the multiple RF Burst(s) include first RF bursts and second RF Burst(s). The second RF bursts may be transmitted in parallel or in response to a decoding error associated with the first RF burst. The received RF burst(s) are equalized and deinterleaved to yield extracted soft samples. Then the first estimated bit sequences and second estimated bit sequences are decoded from the extracted soft samples. A set of possible bit sequences may then be pruned based on based on combined knowledge of the first estimated bit sequence and the second estimated bit sequences. This pruned set may be compared using a sequence detector and the combined first estimated bit sequences and second estimated bit sequences to select a decoded bit sequence.

This method allows interfering signals to be cancelled in order to recover a transmitted data signal. This method involves receiving the data signal subject to interference from at least one interfering signal. A first interfering signal is identified. Then an interferer weight coefficient associated with the first interfering signal is generated based on its signal strength and SF upon acquisition of the SF. This SF may be monitored such that the Interferer weight may be adjusted when the SF changes based on the detected changes. This allows the first interfering signal to be cancelled from the received data signal using the interferer weight coefficient. These processes may then be reiterated for other interfering signals. It is then possible to recover the transmitted data signal from the received data signal.

  • Patent number: 7804893
    Abstract: The feedback of reinterleaved correctly decoded data blocks to a decoder is provided for use in channel decoding operations of channel coded word containing data block. Once a properly decoded data block has been determined, feedback of constraints on the estimated bit sequences decoded data characteristics to a turbo decoder assist in additional decoding operations. Estimated bit sequences may be selected from those trellises that pass through the constraint imposed by knowledge of re-interleaving properly decoded data blocks. This allows the decoder to generate solutions having a minimum probability of error that are also confined by the re-interleaved properly decoded data blocks.

  • Publication number: 20100153103
    Abstract: WCDMA speech data is received over a plurality of channels each with at least one bit-sequence generated using a channel decoding such as a convolution decoding. At least one junction is selected in the generated at least one bit-sequence using a determined channel metric and/or physical constraint metric. Bits in the generated at least one bit-sequence are concatenated based on redundancy and the selected junctions to form at least one speech stream. A single speech stream is selected based on speech constraints for voice decoding. The at least one bit-sequence is selected, for example, using a maximum likelihood metric, by searching starting from a selected junction corresponding to a highest junction metric value. The selected at least one bit-sequence is verified using a selected redundancy verification parameter. The single speech stream is formed using the selected at least one bit-sequence over different channels for voice decoding.
