Patent number: 8654892Abstract: An arrangement of interleavers allocates bits from an input symbol across sub-symbols transmitted via sub-carriers of multiple orthogonal frequency division multiplex (OFDM) carriers. The input bits are allocated in a fashion to provide separation across subcarriers, and rotation of sub-symbols across the OFDM carriers provides additional robustness in the present of signal path impairments.Type: GrantFiled: January 30, 2013Date of Patent: February 18, 2014Assignee: Broadcom CorporationInventors: Carlos H. Aldana, Amit G. Bagchi, Min Chuin Hoo

Patent number: 8630367Abstract: Methods, devices and systems for wireless communication generate signals by determining whether legacy devices are within a proximal region of the wireless communication. When at least one legacy device is within the proximal region, a frame is formatted to include a preamble field, a signal field, and a data field. Further, the uncoded bits are encoded according to a coding format. The coding format is determined according to bits in the preamble and applicable sub-field lengths.Type: GrantFiled: December 12, 2011Date of Patent: January 14, 2014Assignee: Broadcom CorporationInventors: Christopher J. Hansen, Jason Alexander Trachewsky, Amit G. Bagchi, George Kondylis

Patent number: 8081687Abstract: A receiver includes digital logic for defining a plurality of signal paths for an ingoing digital signal to determine a frame classification. Frames are classified according to a combination of readings of a plurality of correlation block and relative signal (power) strengths. Power detection is specified for frequency bands of interest. The combination of readings and their corresponding pattern may be used to determine whether a frame is being transmitted in a lower bandwidth channel, an upper bandwidth channel or a large bandwidth channel that overlaps the lower and upper bandwidth channels. A transmission type (legacy, mixed mode, Greenfield) may subsequently be determined based upon the identity of the frame channel.Type: GrantFiled: October 4, 2006Date of Patent: December 20, 2011Assignee: Broadcom CorporationInventors: Amit G.

Patent number: 7991430Abstract: Classifier for communication device. A communication device includes a classifier and a number of PHY (physical layer) receivers communicatively coupled thereto that enable the communication device to process various received signal types. Each of the PHY receivers is operable to perform pre-processing of a received frame (or packet) of data and to calculate a confidence level indicating whether the received frame is intended for that particular PHY receiver; this pre-processing does not involve processing (e.g., demodulation and/or decoding) of the received frame. Those PHY receivers having sufficiently high confidence levels assert claims to the classifier for the received frame. The classifier is operable to arbitrate between competing claims by 2 or more PHY receivers and to ensure that the received frame is provided to the PHY receiver for which it is intended.Type: GrantFiled: April 29, 2010Date of Patent: August 2, 2011Assignee: Broadcom CorporationInventors: Amit G.
