Abstract: A processing method in a wireless telecommunications receiver receiving a digitally modulated single-carrier signal includes, between a matched filter, in the time domain, operating at a frequency drx×B and a frequency equalizer, operating at the frequency B, a decimation step comprising: i/extracting, from a filtered signal frame, a first sequence of samples for aiding the decimation and having the same power; and a second sequence of payload samples intended to be equalized; ii/estimating the variance in the power of each of the drx decimation phases of the first sequence and identifying the nth decimation phase associated with the minimum variance; iii/decimating the second sequence by selecting the nth decimation phase of the second sequence and supplying the decimation phase at the input of the frequency equalizer.

Abstract: An OFDM modulator including a predistortion module configured to receive the N consecutive data carriers and configured to compensate for distortion subsequently introduced by a polyphase filter bank connectable to the output of the OFDM modulator, a transformation module configured to apply a discrete inverse Fourier transform of constant size NIDFT independently of the numbering and transmission band used by the OFDM transmitter including the OFDM modulator, a filling module, the input of which is connected to the output of the predistortion module, and the output of which is connected to the input of the transformation module, and configured to insert (NIDFT?Nc) null carriers in succession to the Nc consecutive data carriers independently of the parity of the index i associated with the OFDM modulator.

Abstract: A method for synchronization of an emitter of FBMC system with a RACH channel. On the emitter, a pseudo-random sequence with an initial offset in relation to a reference sequence is inserted into the spectral band of the RACH channel. On the receiver, the sequence received on the RACH channel is estimated using a sliding FFT using a starting point and correlated with the reference sequence. The position of the starting point leading to the highest correlation peak is selected as well as the correlation position corresponding to this peak, with these two positions making it possible to determine the offset of the sequence received with the reference sequence. This offset is transmitted to the emitter and the latter deduces from it a delay to be compensated in the emission in order to synchronize with the receiver.

Abstract: The invention relates to a MIMO-FBMC transmitter/receiver with linear precoding implemented in the frequency domain. In one embodiment, at the transmitter the linear precoding is performed (5251, . . . ,525KN) after filtering and spectral spreading, before the IFFT and combination of FBMC symbols in the time domain, such that the precoding does not introduce interference between data streams. In a second embodiment the linear precoding may be combined with the beamforming at transmission or at reception so as to spatially separate the data streams.

Abstract: A filter bank receiver (FBMC) effecting a carrier frequency offset compensation in the frequency domain. The receiver comprises an FFT module extended by the overlap factor (610), a module (630) offsetting a predetermined number of subcarriers at the output of the FFT followed by a filter for reducing interference between subcarriers (640), the number of subcarriers and the coefficients of the interference reduction filter being determined from an estimation () of the frequency offset. The vector of samples thus obtained is then the subject of channel equalisation (650) before being filtered by a battery of analysis filters and spectrally de-spread (660). Finally, after spectral de-spreading, the vector of samples is demodulated by an OQAM demodulation (670) so as to recover the transmitted data.

Abstract: The general field of the invention is that of hybrid telecommunication networks comprising at least one telecommunication relay-satellite emitting at least one signal covering a given geographical zone organized into sub-zones of smaller dimension, a terrestrial relay-station able to receive, to process the satellite signal and to emit a signal in at least one of the sub-zones and mobile reception terminals. The network according to the invention comprises first means making it possible to carry out a mapping of the quality of reception of the satellite signal in each sub-zone; second means making it possible to transmit the mapping information to the terrestrial relay-station. The relay-station comprises third means making it possible, as a function of the reception mapping information, to emit a signal dependent on the said mapping making it possible to improve the quality of reception in its reception sub-zone.
