Abstract: A method for generating a pulse-position-modulated signal. The signal includes a temporal succession of waveforms among Ns waveforms obtained by time shift that is an integer multiple of an elementary time duration Tc. The method includes the following steps executed for a k rank symbol among Ns symbols: obtaining, a set of N modulation coefficients cl(k), a modulation coefficient of index n, cn(k), being expressed as the product of a reference modulation coefficient cn(r) coming from the Fourier series decomposition of a reference waveform associated with a symbol of rank r multiplied by a phase shift term the argument of which is proportional to n; and generating M temporal samples of a k-th waveform carrying the symbol of rank k by Fourier transformation of said set of N modulation coefficients cl(k).

Abstract: The disclosure relates to transmitting a sequence of sets of data, from a communication device to an access point of a wireless communication network, through at least one radio communication channel to improve radio communication quality to cope with environmental condition changes and/or location changes of the communication device and/or changes of usage of the communication device in terms of mobility. For each set of data, a value of at least one parameter to be used by the communication device for transmission is determined by selecting, in a list of predetermined values of parameters, a corresponding value. The number of occurrences of each predetermined value is determined according to a probability that the selection leads to a transmission of data with at least one quality criteria fulfilling at least one predefined condition. Each set of data is then transmitted according to the value of said at least one parameter.

Abstract: In a transmission system, a modulator and a fractional frequency divider are introduced into the control loop of a voltage-controlled oscillator. It is shown that the benefit of this is a reduction in noise associated with the reduction of noise due to using a divider with a lower division coefficient. In one embodiment, the fractional divider is obtained by selecting different dividers in turn in accordance with temporal proportions corresponding to a required division fraction.
