  • Patent number: 11496343
    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.

  • Patent number: 11303310
    Abstract: It is provided a method designed, for OFDM-based communication systems, to slightly modify the signal to be emitted before the power amplifier input of the transmitter. The guiding idea is that the minimal IBO value for which the slightly modified signal still fulfills the standard requirements is inferior to the smallest IBO value for which the transmitted signal still meets the standard requirements in terms of EVM and spectral mask without implementing the proposed method.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for decoding an RF signal bearing a sequence of transmitted symbols modulated by CPM. The method comprises, at the receiver (1): 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: a. three unknowns {?(n), {circumflex over (?)}(n), {circumflex over (?)}0(n)}, are respectively function of said model parameters {h, ?, ?0}, and b. 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: iii. a sequence of symbols {ân} corresponding to the sequence of transmitted symbols up to time nT, and iv.

  • Patent number: 10686500
    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.
