Abstract: A method for decoding an RF signal bearing a sequence of transmitted symbols modulated by CPM. The method includes, at the receiver: estimating model parameters {h, ?, ?0} among which h characterizes a modulation index, ? characterizes a carrier frequency offset and ?0 characterizes an initial phase offset, and detecting received symbols corresponding to said transmitted symbols of the sequence, wherein, at time nT where T is a symbol duration, the parameters {h, ?, ?0} are estimated by solving a system of three linear equations whose: three unknowns {?(n), {circumflex over (?)}(n), {circumflex over (?)}0(n)} are respectively function of said model parameters {h, ?, ?0}, and coefficients {B(n), C(n), D(n), F(n), G(n), H(n), v1(n), v2(n), v3(n)} are computed in a recursive way in function of: a sequence of symbols {ân} corresponding to the sequence of transmitted symbols up to time nT, and measured phases {?k} of samples {yk} of the RF signal received from time (n?1)T to time nT.

Abstract: A method for obtaining a steering matrix Q to be applied for MU-MIMO transmission of data for a MU-MIMO communication system which comprises at least a transmitter comprising at least NTX=2 transmit antennas and K=2 receivers with each dth receiver comprising NRX(d) receive antennas, respectively, wherein ?d NRX(d)?NTX. The method is implemented at the level of the transmitter. The obtained steering matrix Q to be applied for DL-MU-MIMO transmission allows of supporting extended configurations of a DL-MU-MIMO communication system and allows of improving significantly the quality of subsequent DL-MU-MIMO transmissions, when the number of receive antennas ?d NRX(d) is larger than the number NTX of transmit antennas.

Abstract: A method for determining the bandwidth of an incoming frame in a wireless local area network (WLAN), includes the following steps, executed at least by a processor, upon reception of a first plurality of samples representative of a first signal of the frame received at a primary WLAN channel, and of a second plurality of samples of the frame representative of a second signal of the frame received at a secondary WLAN channel: computing at least a correlation of a sample among the first plurality of samples with a sample among the second plurality of samples; if the correlation exceeds a threshold then setting a receiver mode to a first bandwidth otherwise setting a receiver mode to a second bandwidth. A device for setting the bandwidth of a receiver for a wireless local area network and a system integrating such device are also described.
