  • Patent number: 10241539
    Abstract: A solution for synchronizing a network comprising a plurality of interconnected nodes provides a stable synchronized state, especially for large scale networks. Signal transmission speed and the length of each interconnection of the network is configured to cause a delay of the signals received by a node from the other node of the interconnection which is larger than one millionth of the free-running period of the controllable oscillator of the receiving node such that Network-wide synchronization of oscillators is achieved for all nodes of the network in a continuous self-organized process in interaction with the other node of the network.

  • Patent number: 9680540
    Abstract: A radio transmission system based on a frequency divisional multiplexing method is described, wherein a transmit symbol comprises a plurality of data symbols assigned to at least two subcarriers.

  • Patent number: 9250996
    Abstract: In a multicore type error correction processing system which can simultaneously cope with a plurality of error correction methods and a plurality of code lengths, an interconnect part 11 has a barrel shifter which extends across a plurality of error correction processing parts 12a-12c. An error correction process can be selectively performed by collectively using a group of the plurality of the error correction processing parts 12a-12c or by individually using each of individual error correction processing parts 12a-12c in response to interconnection configuration information. With this structure, the plurality of the error correction processing parts 12a-12c are collectively used if computation resources are insufficient and an idling error correction processing part is assigned to another error correction process if computation resources are excessive.

  • Patent number: 9246569
    Abstract: A transmission method and corresponding mobile communication system are described. A mobile terminal transmits information via an access channel to a base station that quantizes the received symbols and forwards these via a forward path to a central baseband unit. In the central baseband unit soft information relating to the transmitted information is determined based on received forwarded symbols, a quantizer codebook and the deployed mapping of the mobile terminal. Said soft information may serve as a basis for decoding the information.

  • Patent number: 9167579
    Abstract: A method and corresponding devices for processing and transmitting information are described. A sequence of binary signals is mapped to symbols that forms a two-dimensional matrix of symbols in one of the frequency-time or time-time or time-frequency or frequency-frequency domain and which may be filtered in that domain. Selecting the diagonal elements of said matrix forms a transmit vector.
