Abstract: A method and system for performing quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) decoding of a received signal includes finding for each layer a region in a first constellation diagram of the received signal, the region including a portion of the first constellation diagram, the portion having the same size of a second constellation diagram, and a first constellation order of the received signal is higher than a second constellation order of the second constellation diagram; and, for each layer: finding a first portion of bits based on bits that are constant among constellation points located in the region of the layer; decoding the received signal using a QAM decoder having the second constellation order to obtain a second portion of bits; adjusting the second portion of bits based on the region of the layer; and merging the first portion of bits with the second portion of bits to obtain a decoded symbol.

Abstract: Methods for RSRP estimation in LTE networks that perform interference cancellation are provided. In particular, a bias that is present during interference cancellation is account for in the RSRP estimation of a target cell.

Abstract: A modular electric socket assembly comprises a male plug unit electrically connected to a cover plate member having at least one electric socket, and a female plug unit retained in a wall and electrically connected to an electric supply system. Pins of the male plug unit are coupleable with corresponding cavities of the female plug unit. In one embodiment, the socket assembly is a strip assembly having a panel on which are printed a plurality of conductive elements, a cover plate member having at least two socket regions and attached to the panel, and a male plug unit interconnected with the panel. The conductive elements are arranged so as to connect in electrically conductable alignment a user device coupled to a selected socket region, each contact of the panel associated with the selected socket region, conductors associated with the male plug unit, and conductors associated with the female plug unit.
