  • Patent number: 10419102
    Abstract: A SUDAC includes a first and a second wireless communication interface and a processor. The first wireless communication interface is configured for using ultra-high frequency in order to establish at least one backend communication link with a base station. The second wireless communication interface is configured for using extremely-high frequency in order to establish at least one frontend communication link with a user equipment. The processor is configured for at least partially forwarding a user information signal received via the frontend communication link to be transmitted via the backend communication link while frequency converting the extremely-high frequency to the ultra-high frequency vice versa. The processor is further configured for extracting control information from the user information signal and for controlling forward parameters of the first or the second wireless communication interface based on the control information.

  • Patent number: 9769476
    Abstract: A digital receiver includes a pre-de-interleaver processing block for receiving a receive signal including reception data units quantized using a quantization rule. The digital receiver additionally includes a controllable compressor for compressing the data units into a compressed representation, a controllable time-de-interleaver being configured for applying a varying interleaving size in data units, and a controller for controlling the controllable processor or the controllable time-de-interleaver. The controller is configured for controlling the compressor or the time-de-interleaver so that a higher interleaving size such as a higher interleaving time or a higher number of data units per second is applied, when a compression in a lower number of bits is active.

  • Patent number: 8689061
    Abstract: The inventive concept enables backward-compatible extension of existing interleaver-based transmission systems to the effect that in addition to an existing logical transport channel, which is interleaved using a standardized interleaver profile, further logical transport channels may be transmitted via the same physical transmission channel. In this context, the first transport channel obviously is reduced in terms of data rate, so that the additional transport channels may actually obtain a transmission capacity that is needed accordingly. Interleaver profiles of the further logical transport channels are derived, to this end, from the interleaver profile of the first transport channel.
