Patent number: 9088413Abstract: Apparatuses and methods are provided for generating a plurality of redundancy versions using various rate matching algorithms. In some embodiments, a rate matcher is provided that allocates systematic and parity bits to the redundancy versions in a manner that allows all of these bits to be transmitted in at least one redundancy version. In some embodiments, the rate matcher uses a first puncturing algorithm to generate both a first redundancy version and a third redundancy version, but allocates a different proportion of the systematic bits to these redundancy versions. In these embodiments, the second redundancy version may include only bits that were not transmitted in the first redundancy version.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 2013Date of Patent: July 21, 2015Assignee: Marvell International Ltd.Inventors: Paul S. Spencer, Amir Winstok

Patent number: 8416740Abstract: A method includes transmitting downlink signals to at least first and second mobile communication terminals over respective first and second traffic channels. Reception quality measures are obtained from the first and second mobile communication terminals for at least one of the traffic channels. Based on the reception quality measures, an expected downlink performance is estimated for simultaneous transmission to the first and second mobile communication terminals on a candidate shared traffic channel.Type: GrantFiled: August 18, 2010Date of Patent: April 9, 2013Assignee: Marvell World Trade Ltd.Inventors: Amir Winstok, Efrat Isack, Tomer Goshen, David Ben-Eli, Paul S.

Patent number: 8290077Abstract: A method for communication includes defining a signal constellation including multiple constellation points in a signal space, such that each constellation point corresponds to a signal representing a respective combination of values of at least three bits, wherein three or more subsets of the bits in each of the constellation points are respectively allocated to three or more data streams. A sequence of signals is received, each signal selected from the signal constellation. The received sequence of the signals is demodulated, and one of the three or more data streams is reconstructed based on the demodulated signals.Type: GrantFiled: February 9, 2009Date of Patent: October 16, 2012Assignee: Marvell International Ltd.Inventors: David Ben-Eli, Tomer Goshen, Yona Perets, Paul S.

Publication number: 20110044299Abstract: A method includes assigning a communication channel for simultaneous transmission to at least first and second mobile communication terminals using a Time-Division Multiplexing (TDM) communication protocol. Upon determining that data is to be transmitted over the communication channel to both the first and the second mobile communication terminals, the data is transmitted at a first power level that is defined for transmission to the first mobile communication terminal as part of the simultaneous transmission. Upon determining that the data is to be transmitted over the communication channel only to the first mobile communication terminal, the data is transmitted at a second power level that is defined for transmission only to the first mobile communication terminal and is lower than the first power level.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 24, 2010Publication date: February 24, 2011Inventors: Paul S. Spencer, Amir Winstok, Efrat Isack, Tomer Goshen, David Ben-Eli
