Patent number: 10616032Abstract: An apparatus includes a demapper to receive a number of bit streams received by multiple radio-frequency (RF) antennas. The demapper can compute a first reliability metric associated with a first stream and a second reliability metric associated with a second stream. A channel decoder processes the first and the second reliability metrics to recover decoded data. The demapper is a reduced complexity demapper and uses a symbol subset of the first stream to compute, by employing look-up tables, the second reliability metric for the second stream.Type: GrantFiled: August 23, 2018Date of Patent: April 7, 2020Assignee: AVAGO TECHNOLOGIES INTERNATIONAL SALES PTE.

Patent number: 9800447Abstract: A transmitter may comprise a symbol mapper circuit and operate in at least two modes. In a first mode, the number of symbols output by the mapper circuit per orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbol transmitted by said transmitter may be greater than the number of data-carrying subcarriers used to transmit the OFDM symbol. In a second mode, the number of symbols output by said mapper circuit per orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbol transmitted by said transmitter is less than or equal to the number of data-carrying subcarriers used to transmit said OFDM symbol. The symbols output by the symbol mapper circuit may be N-QAM symbols. While the circuitry operates in the first mode, the symbols output by the mapper may be converted to physical subcarrier values via filtering and decimation prior to being input to an IFFT circuit.Type: GrantFiled: November 25, 2015Date of Patent: October 24, 2017Assignee: AVAGO TECHNOLOGIES GENERAL IP (SINGAPORE) PTE.
