  • Patent number: 11856122
    Abstract: An electronic device is provided. A lateral fingerprint recognition apparatus is in contact with a function button. An accommodating structure is arranged in the lateral fingerprint recognition apparatus. A stopping assembly is arranged on a side of a fingerprint hole close to the function button. Inserting a partial area of the stopping assembly into the accommodating structure enables the lateral fingerprint recognition apparatus, when pressed, to move in movement space of the accommodating structure on the side of the fingerprint hole close to the function button, so as to limit a displacement amount of the lateral fingerprint recognition apparatus within a specific range, implementing the functions of the lateral fingerprint recognition apparatus and of the function button, and preventing the lateral fingerprint recognition apparatus from being displaced from the originally designed position.

  • Patent number: 7944991
    Abstract: Disclosed is a constrained clipping technique for reducing the peak-to-average power ratio (PAR) or crest factor of a multicarrier communications signal. This is a transmitter-side processing technique that does not impose any modification at the receiver. Constrained clipping achieves PAR reduction while simultaneously satisfying spectral mask and error vector magnitude (EVM) constraints that are specified by most modern communications standards. The constrained clipping technique includes two independent processing units, one to satisfy an in-band EVM constraint and the other to satisfy an out-of-band spectral constraint. Achievable PAR reduction results vary depending on a particular standard's requirements, but by using constrained clipping on a QPSK WiMax signal with 256 subcarriers, for example, a 4.5 dB PAR reduction at the 10?2 complementary cumulative distribution function (CCDF) level can be obtained.

  • Patent number: 7769093
    Abstract: Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is a spectrally efficient multicarrier modulation technique for high speed data transmission over multipath fading channels, but has low power efficiency. OFDM signals have large crest factors, or peak-to-average power ratios (PARs) which lead to power inefficiency in the RF portion of the transmitter. Selected mapping (SLM) is a distortionless technique that has good PAR reduction capability. However, the biggest limitation of SLM is the need to transmit side information. Disclosed is a technique or algorithm using constant modulus (i.e., phase shift keying, PSK) inputs that implements SLM without having to transmit any side information and without causing any distortion.

  • Patent number: 7668266
    Abstract: Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is a spectrally efficient multicarrier modulation technique for high speed data transmission over multipath fading channels, but has low power efficiency. OFDM signals have large crest factors, or peak-to-average power ratios (PARs) which lead to power inefficiency in the RF portion of the transmitter. Selected mapping can be used to reduce the PAR of an OFDM signal and is distortionless. A technique is disclosed that links the index of a phase rotation sequence used in selected mapping to the location of pilot tones that are used to estimate the channel. Each pilot tone location-phase sequence selection produces a different PAR value for the time-domain OFDM signal, and the signal with the lowest PAR value is transmitted. The technique is “blind” in that the optimum pilot tone location-phase sequence index is not transmitted as side information. A technique to blindly detect the optimum index at the receiver is also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 7535950
    Abstract: Disclosed are apparatus that implement blind selected mapping techniques that provide for crest factor reduction of forward link CDMA signals. Communication signals are processed using a mathematical algorithm that selectively maps a summed communication signal in a frame to another summed communication signal which has a smaller peak-to-average power ratio. The reduced dynamic range communication signal is amplified and transmitted to a receiver. At the receiver, the reduced power communication signal is processed using a mathematical algorithm that detects the selected mapping index used in the transmitter and converts the received signals into the original communication signals.
