Abstract: Channel state information (CSI) is reduced for a multi input multi output (MIMO) channel, in which feeding back a part of the CSI matrix is sufficient to align interference in a MIMO network. A feedback dimension quantifies a cost of the CSI feedback of the interference in the MIMO network. A feedback profile is determined that achieves a tradeoff between degrees of freedom, antenna resources and the cost of the feedback. The feedback profile parameterizes a feedback function, which determines how the CSI matrices are fed back to the transmitter. The precoders of the network are adaptive to only the partial CSI knowledge at the transmitter.

Abstract: A transmitter may comprise a symbol mapper circuit and operate in at least two modes. In a first mode, the number of symbols output by the mapper circuit per orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbol transmitted by said transmitter may be greater than the number of data-carrying subcarriers used to transmit the OFDM symbol. In a second mode, the number of symbols output by said mapper circuit per orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbol transmitted by said transmitter is less than or equal to the number of data-carrying subcarriers used to transmit said OFDM symbol. The symbols output by the symbol mapper circuit may be N-QAM symbols. While the circuitry operates in the first mode, the symbols output by the mapper may be converted to physical subcarrier values via filtering and decimation prior to being input to an IFFT circuit.

Abstract: The disclosed embodiments relate to the design of an equalizer that uses both cross-coupled cascodes and inductive peaking to reduce distortion in a signal received from a communication channel by attenuating lower frequencies and amplifying higher frequencies. At lower frequencies, when the effects of inductive impedance within the equalizer are negligible, the equalizer essentially functions as a traditional cascode amplifier that presents high gain. At higher frequencies, the increases in inductive impedances within the equalizer act to boost a gain of the equalizer.

Abstract: The gain of an amplifier in a receiver operating in a cellular communication system is controlled by determining one or more gain variability metrics, which are then used to produce first and second threshold values. A frequency difference between a current carrier frequency and a target carrier frequency is ascertained and then compared to the threshold values. Target gain setting production is based on comparison results: If the frequency difference is larger than the first threshold, a full automatic gain control algorithm is performed; if the frequency difference is smaller than the first threshold and larger than the second threshold, an optimized automatic gain control algorithm is performed, wherein the optimized automatic gain control algorithm uses a current gain setting as a starting point; and if the frequency difference is smaller than both the first and second thresholds, the current gain setting is used as the target gain setting.

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 dual path source synchronous interface is disclosed. In one embodiment, a source synchronous interface includes a transmitter coupled to serially receive data from a first functional circuit block, and a receiver coupled to provide data serially to a second functional circuit block. Data is conveyed to the transmitter on a single signal line, and similarly, from the receiver on another single signal line. The transmitter is coupled to the receiver by two signal lines. The serial data received by the transmitter may be separated into two streams of alternating bits, e.g., a first bit is transmitted on one signal line, the next bit is transmitted on the other signal line, and so forth. At the receiver, the alternating bit streams may be re-combined into a single bit stream for transfer to the second functional circuit.
