  • RECONFIGURABLE RECEIVER FOR WIRELESS COMMUNICATION NETWORKS
    Publication number: 20220116245
    Abstract: A receiver adapted to receive a modulated signal including useful and interfering signals and to detect information bits carried thereon. The modulated signal comprises signal components each one associated with a respective modulation subcarrier and including respective useful and interfering signal components.

  • Receiver for wireless communication networks
    Patent number: 10763995
    Abstract: An iterative receiver receives a signal including useful and interfering signal components, and detects information carried thereon. The receiver includes at least one estimating unit receiving the signal and providing an estimate of each signal component, and at least two decoding and regenerating units, at each iteration, each decoding and regenerating unit decoding a respective one among the estimates and for regenerating the respective decoded estimate into a respective regenerated estimate. At each receiver iteration, the at least one estimating unit provides estimates based on regenerated estimates provided at a previous iteration.

  • Signal to interference and noise ratio estimation
    Patent number: 10411818
    Abstract: A method for estimating a signal to interference and noise ratio of a communication link between a first node and a second node of a wireless communication network, the network comprising a number of further communication links between said first node and a number of further nodes. The method comprises, at the first node, providing first estimates of useful signal powers on all the links; providing second estimates of the signal powers on the link and on the further communication links on the basis of, jointly, the first estimate of the signal power on the link and the first estimates of the signal powers on the further links; estimating the signal to interference and noise ratio as a ratio between the second estimate of the signal power on the link and a power term comprising a sum of the second estimates of the signal powers on the further links.

  • SIGNAL TO INTERFERENCE AND NOISE RATIO ESTIMATION
    Publication number: 20180359038
    Abstract: A method for estimating a signal to interference and noise ratio of a communication link between a fist node and a second node of a wireless communication network, the network comprising a number of further communication links between said first node and a number of further nodes. The method comprises, at the first node, providing first estimates of useful signal powers on all the links; providing second estimates of the signal powers on the link and on the further communication links on the basis of, jointly, the first estimate of the signal power on the link and the first estimates of the signal powers on the further links; estimating the signal to interference and noise ratio as a ratio between the second estimate of the signal power on the link and a power term comprising a sum of the second estimates of the signal powers on the further links.
