Patent number: 8879671Abstract: A device such as a worker, window-size and iteration control unit (WWICU) is proposed. The WWICU determines processing, iteration, and window information based on format information indicative of one or more formats to be processed by a decoding process. The processing information may include a number of parallel workers, the iteration information may include a number of half-iterations, and the window information may include a window size to be used in the decoding process. The WWICU then determines time information including a total cycle count based on the processing information, the iteration information, and the window information. In response to determining that the total cycle count is not beyond a threshold value, the WWICU may transmit configuration information including the processing, iteration, and window information to a device, such as a turbo decoding device, configurable to perform the decoding process based on the configuration information.Type: GrantFiled: August 30, 2012Date of Patent: November 4, 2014Assignee: Intel Mobile Communications GmbHInventors: Axel Huebner, Jens Berkmann, Maria Fresia, Armin Hautle

Patent number: 8111660Abstract: A method transmits data by radio during which a frequency band is split into a plurality of subcarriers, and a plurality of antennas are used for transmitting. The data are split into a number of elements, which are to be respectively transmitted by each antenna, said number of elements corresponding to the number of subcarriers, whereby for each antenna, each element is respectively assigned to a subcarrier for transmitting, and at least two antennas on at least one subcarrier transmit different elements. Before an OFDM modulation for each antenna, each element is multiplied by an antenna-specific and element-specific factor. Alternatively, after an OFDM modulation for at least one antenna, the time sequence of the time-dependent signal generated on the basis of the OFDM modulation is reordered. A transmitter carries out the method.Type: GrantFiled: March 17, 2004Date of Patent: February 7, 2012Assignee: Siemens AktiengesellschaftInventors: Martin Bossert, Elena Costa, Axel Hübner, Matthias Lott, Egon Schulz
