Patent number: 8149965Abstract: An packet detection controller accepts an input from an AGC controller which indicates the presence of an increased signal energy and also completion of an AGC process and generates an output to suspend the AGC process. The packet detection controller also receives a plurality of IQ receiver streams and forms a single stream for use by a packet detector, which is controllable by an SNR_MODE indicating whether the signal to noise ratio is above or below a particular threshold, and a PD_RESET signal indicating that no packet detection should occur. The controller also receives a PACKET_DET signal indicating that packet detection is completed. The packet detection controller examines the incoming receiver streams and suspends AGC process if a packet detect is generated, or suspends the packet detector if an AGC process is required.Type: GrantFiled: September 16, 2008Date of Patent: April 3, 2012Assignee: Redpine Signals, Inc.Inventors: Dharani Naga Sailaja Sankabathula, Partha Sarathy Murali, Logeshwaran Vijayan, Nagaraja Reddy Anakala

Patent number: 7986738Abstract: An OFDM symbol comprises information subcarriers which carry the information to be transmitted, accompanied by edge subcarriers, which are selected to minimize the PAPR of the transmitted signal. The selection of edge subcarriers which minimizes PAPR enables either higher power transmission for the same information content, or lower power consumption for the same transmitted symbol power.Type: GrantFiled: October 19, 2007Date of Patent: July 26, 2011Assignee: Redpine Signals, IncInventors: Dharani Naga Sailaja Sankabathula, Partha Sarathy Murali

Patent number: 7907555Abstract: A wireless receiver generates quadrature baseband signals which are sampled by a high speed analog to digital converter (IQ ADC) and also uses a receive signal strength indicator (RSSI) which is sampled by an RSSI analog to digital converter (RSSI ADC). The RSSI ADC signal is processed in combination with an end of packet signal to generate a first threshold from the average RSSI signal after the end of packet with the receive amplifiers set to a comparatively high level. A second threshold is generated by adding a threshold increment to the first threshold, and when the RSSI crosses the second threshold, the IQ ADC is taken out of a standby mode and placed in an active mode for the duration of the packet. The RSSI ADC is enabled from end of packet until packet detection by the baseband processor, and placed in standby at other times.Type: GrantFiled: November 26, 2007Date of Patent: March 15, 2011Assignee: Redpine Signals, Inc.Inventors: Dharani Naga Sailaja Sankabathula, Partha Sarathy Murali, Venkat Mattela

Patent number: 7656970Abstract: A wireless signal processor includes an analog front end for generating at least one baseband analog signal, at least one analog to digital converter for converting the baseband signal into a digital signal, the analog to digital converter having a resolution width and a sampling rate, and a baseband processor for measuring the signal energy in the analog to digital converter output, and when the incoming signal energy level increases or a baseband processor detects a packet, at least one of the sampling rate or resolution width also increases until the end of the packet, after which the sample rate and resolution are reduced to an interpacket rate and resolution. Additionally, the sampling rate and resolution increase after packet detection at rates and resolutions which are dependent on packet type and data rate.Type: GrantFiled: September 1, 2006Date of Patent: February 2, 2010Assignee: Redpine Signals, Inc.Inventors: Dharani Naga Sailaja Sankabathula, Partha Sarathy Murali, Sivaram Trikutam Alukuru

Patent number: 7593378Abstract: During the preamble interval of a wireless packet, a receiver estimates the SINR of the preamble, and also examines the packet header to determine the data rate, length, and destination address. If the SINR as determined from the preamble is below a threshold, or if the SINR combined with the data rate from the packet header is below a threshold, the receiver is powered down for the duration of the current packet. Additionally, if the packet header bears a destination address for a different station from the one receiving it, the receiver is powered down for the duration of the packet. In this manner, the receiver power is only used to receive packets that have sufficient SINR to be correctly received for their data rate, or are destined for the present station. The reduction in power consumption results in longer battery life for the station.Type: GrantFiled: June 15, 2006Date of Patent: September 22, 2009Assignee: Redpine Signals, Inc.Inventors: Partha Sarathy Murali, Chandra Sekhar Ponnamanda Venkata, Dharani Naga Sailaja Sankabathula, Satya Rao

Patent number: 7386074Abstract: An RF receiver which produces quadrature digitized outputs and has a gain control is coupled to a digital gain controller which converts the quadrature digitized outputs into an rms voltage, and iterates over a finite number of steps to quickly control the gain to a level sufficient to achieve subsequent digital signal processing without limitations caused by insufficient dynamic range or nonlinear saturation effects caused by insufficient signal or excessive signal at the A/D input, respectively.Type: GrantFiled: October 6, 2003Date of Patent: June 10, 2008Assignee: RedPine Signals, Inc.Inventors: Narasimhan Venkatesh, Satya Rao, Dharani Naga Sailaja Sankabathula, Partha Sarathy Murali
