  • Patent number: 10868571
    Abstract: A method of dynamically changing the list size of a successive cancellation list (SCL) decoder, the SCL decoder arranged to decode data received from a wireless communications system, the method comprising at each successive cancellation stage of the SCL decoder, determining a path metric of each path of the SCL decoder, selecting a differential path metric threshold, and dynamically changing the list size of the SCL decoder based on the differential path metric threshold and the path metric of each path of the cancellation stage, such that decoding sensitivity of the decoder is maintained and/or latency and error-correction performance of the decoder are balanced.

  • Patent number: 10608862
    Abstract: A method of transmission for increasing communication channel capacity comprising superposing a first signal on a portion of a second signal to form a combined signal, wherein the first signal comprises a repetition coded signal, and transmitting the combined signal. Also disclosed is a method of receiving a combined signal for increasing communication channel capacity comprising performing threshold detection on the combined signal wherein the combined signal comprises a first signal comprising a repetition coded signal superposed on a portion of a second signal and the threshold detection enables derivation of the second signal and the first signal prior to repetition coding.

  • Patent number: 10219238
    Abstract: A computer implemented method for providing OTDOA timing information comprising defining an FFT window pair for estimating a value of reference signal time difference “RSTD” for at least one base station and a reference cell, receiving a PRS from the at least one base station and the reference cell, executing an FFT per OFDM symbol of the PRS for each FFT window of the FFT window pair, obtaining a first FFT output vector per OFDM symbol of each FFT window, for each first output vector, descrambling tones corresponding to the known position of the PRS, wherein all other tones are set to zero, combining vectors based on respective first FFT output vectors, executing an iFFT to convert to the time domain; and calculating an estimated value of reference signal time difference “RSTD” for the at least one base station and the reference cell.
