Patent number: 9992748Abstract: A communication device (device) includes a communication interface and a processor, among other possible circuitries, components, elements, etc. to support communications with other device(s) and to generate and process signals for such communications. The device receives a ranging instruction signal, which includes an initial power and at least one power step, from another device. The device processes the ranging instruction generates a first ranging signal based on the initial power. The device then transmits the first ranging signal to the another device. When a ranging response to the first ranging signal is received from the another device, the device determines that the device is successfully ranged to the another device. Alternatively, when no ranging response is received, the device generates a second ranging signal based on the initial power and the at least one power step and transmit the second ranging signal to the another device.Type: GrantFiled: June 11, 2015Date of Patent: June 5, 2018Assignee: Avago Technologies General IP (Singapore) Pte.

Patent number: 9432143Abstract: A communication device is configured to communicate coded information to other communication device(s). The communication device uses NCPs to indicate locations of codewords within signal(s) transmitted to the other communication device(s). The communication device is configured to encode NCP(s) using an FEC code to generate coded NCP(s) and also to encode the NCP(s) using a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) code to generate NCP CRC bits. The communication device is also configured to encode the NCP CRC bits using the FEC code to generate coded NCP CRC bits. The communication device is then configured to generate OFDM or OFDMA symbol(s) include the coded NCP(s) and the coded NCP CRC bits to indicate beginnings of codeword(s) within at least one of the OFDM symbol(s) and/or additional OFDM symbol(s). The communication device is also configured to transmit the OFDM or OFDMA symbols to another communication device via a communication interface of the communication device.Type: GrantFiled: June 5, 2014Date of Patent: August 30, 2016Assignee: Broadcom CorporationInventors: Niki Roberta Pantelias, Ba-Zhong Shen, Tak Kwan Lee, Avraham Kliger, Richard Stephen Prodan

Publication number: 20160241303Abstract: A communication device includes a communication interface, a number of variable power amplifiers (VPAs), and a processor. Some of the VPAs are configured to process analog signals to generate processed analog signals (e.g., each VPA configured to process one of the analog signals to generate one of the processed analog signals based on a respective VPA control signal). A composite VPA processes a summation of the processed analog signals, which are generated by certain of the VPA, to generate a processed composite signal based on a composite VPA control signal. The processor generates the a first, a second, and a composite VPA control signals based, at least in part, on configuration information from another communication device via the communication interface. The processor may be configured to consider other information as well, such as locally generated information (within the communication device), operational history, current operating conditions, etc.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 22, 2016Publication date: August 18, 2016Applicant: BROADCOM CORPORATIONInventors: Ramon Alejandro Gomez, Avraham Kliger, Thomas Joseph Kolze, Kevin Lee Miller, Joseph Leonard Laskowski

Patent number: 9379848Abstract: A communication device (device) includes a processor configured to generate an initial ranging LDPC coded signal based on a first LDPC code and then transmits the initial ranging LDPC coded signal to another device (e.g., via a communication interface) for use by the other device for coarse power and timing adjustment. Then, the processor processes a received transmit opportunity signal to identify a transmit opportunity time period. The processor then generates a fine ranging LDPC coded signal based on a second LDPC code and transmits the fine ranging LDPC coded signal to the other device during the transmit opportunity time period for use by the other device for fine power and timing adjustment. In some instances, the processor may be configured to generate one or more wideband probe signals for transmission to the other device in conjunction with or instead of the fine ranging LDPC coded signals.Type: GrantFiled: May 29, 2014Date of Patent: June 28, 2016Assignee: BROADCOM CORPORATIONInventors: Avraham Kliger, Ba-Zhong Shen
