Abstract: A mobile communication device adapted to perform spur relocation for a digital phase-locked loop includes a receiver to determine a first frequency channel of interest and to identify a first frequency command word corresponding to the first frequency channel of interest. The mobile communication device further includes control logic circuitry to identify a first frequency at which a first fractional spur associated with the first frequency command word starts to occur and to determine whether the identified first frequency is within the first frequency channel of interest. In addition, the mobile communication device includes a programmable feedback divider configured to change the first frequency command word to a second frequency command word, wherein a second fractional spur associated with the second frequency command word occurs at a second frequency outside the first frequency channel of interest.

Abstract: A hybrid forwarding apparatus and method for cooperative relaying in an OFDM network are provided. In a hybrid forwarding apparatus in a relay terminal, a forwarding scheme selector selects a forwarding scheme for transmission. An amplify and forward (AF) block amplifies data received from the forwarding scheme selector, if an AF scheme is selected. A decode and forward (DF) block decodes and encodes data received from the forwarding scheme selector, if a DF scheme is selected. A multiplexer provides the output data of the AF block and the DF block to an OFDM modulator.
