  • Publication number: 20090274035
    Abstract: An interleaving method (2) and an interleaver (9) for frequency interleaving data symbols. The data symbols are for allocation to carriers in a set of NFFT carriers of a module for multiplexing and modulation by orthogonal functions in a multicarrier transmitter device (3). A block of Npm successive data symbols is interleaved in application of an interleaving law that varies over time for a given transmission mode of the transmitter device, where Npm is less than or equal to NFFT.

  • Publication number: 20090129490
    Abstract: An interleaving method (1) and a frequency interleaver (EF) of data symbols. The data symbols are for allocation to carriers of a set of NFFT carriers of a module for multiplexing and modulation by orthogonal functions in a multicarrier transmitter device (EM). The method includes selecting in time-varying manner from the set of carriers, carriers that are dedicated to transmitting data symbols and in dynamically interleaving a block of carriers constituted by the selected carriers and by null carriers.

  • Patent number: 7447288
    Abstract: The invention concerns a method for demodulating a digital signal received via a transmission channel, comprising a step which consists in associating with each value received of said received signal a point of the corresponding modulation constellation, on the basis of the decision boundaries taking into account the potential effect of a phase shift on at least one of said points of the modulation constellation and of the potential effect of an Gaussian additive noise applied on said point, said Gaussian additive noise being represented by a generating surface associated with said point, and said phase shift by a rotation on an angular range based so that said swept surface belongs essentially to the region of decision associated with the corresponding point of the modulation constellation, plotted on the basis of at least one phase and/or amplitude characteristic of said modulation, so as to associate with each of said points of the constellation a portion of a reception space, called corresponding region o
