Abstract: A base station initializes pseudo-random sequence generators on which wireless devices base generation of uplink reference signals. The base station determines a first sequence from a first subset of possible initialization sequences for a sequence generator of a first device, and determines a second sequence from a second subset of possible initialization sequences for a sequence generator of a second device. The range of this second subset spans at least the range of the first subset. The base station further encodes the first sequence as a first set of two or more parameters, and encodes the second sequence as a second set of one or more parameters. This second set includes at least one parameter not included in the first set, and comprises fewer bits than the first set. The base station initializes the sequence generators by transmitting the first and second sets of parameters to the devices.

Abstract: A circuit converts a single-ended signal to differential signals that are balanced to have the same amplitudes and opposite phases relative to a reference point of the differential signals. The circuit includes a balance tunable balun, a detector, and a controller. The balance tunable balun has a primary winding, a secondary winding, a control input, and a switched resistor-capacitor (RC) network. The primary winding receives the single-ended signal and the secondary winding outputs the differential signals. The control input receives a control signal and the switched RC network controls the reference point of the differential signals responsive to this control signal. The detector detects the output imbalance and the controller generates the control signal to control the switched RC network to effectively adjust the reference point as needed to reduce that output imbalance. The circuit produces well balanced differential signals over a wide range of signal frequencies.

In one embodiment, a receiver includes a downconverter and a demodulator. The downconverter receives a radio frequency signal comprising a desired signal, noise, and a non-constant envelope modulated interfering signal, and downconverts the radio frequency signal to provide a downconverted signal.

In one embodiment, the demodulator outputs demodulated symbols. In another embodiment, the demodulator outputs soft bit information.
