  • Patent number: 11962441
    Abstract: A multi-tap Differential Feedforward Equalizer (DFFE) configuration with both precursor and postcursor taps is provided. The DFFE has reduced noise and/or crosstalk characteristics when compared to a Feedforward Equalizer (FFE) since DFFE uses decision outputs of slicers as inputs to a finite impulse response (FIR) unlike FFE which uses actual analog signal inputs. The digital outputs of the tentative decision slicers are multiplied with tap coefficients to reduce noise. Further, since digital outputs are used as the multiplier inputs, the multipliers effectively work as adders which are less complex to implement. The decisions at the outputs of the tentative decision slicers are tentative and are used in a FIR filter to equalize the signal; the equalized signal may be provided as input to the next stage slicers. The bit-error-rate (BER) of the final stage decisions are lower or better than the BER of the previous stage tentative decisions.

  • Patent number: 11962538
    Abstract: A method for receiving a signal by a terminal in a wireless communication system according to an embodiment of the present invention can comprise a step for determining REGs, which are to be assumed that the same precoding is used, among REGs comprised in a control resource set on the basis of information relating to precoder granularity, and thus monitoring a control channel candidate. Particularly, if a part of resource blocks overlaps another resource region and particular resource blocks in the resource blocks are no longer contiguous due to the overlapping, the terminal can comprise an assumption that the same precoding is used with respect to the REGs comprised in the particular resource blocks even if the information relating to the precoder granularity corresponds to first configuration.
