Patent number: 8599828Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for identifying a cell and a sub-frame by detecting a part of a secondary synchronization signal including a sequence of N OFDM symbols. For each OFDM symbol, the method obtains a set of metrics, each metric being associated with a predetermined combination of a cell identifier and a sub-frame alignment (CID/SF). For each metric, the method counts the number of times a metric exceeds a first predetermined threshold, delivering a summed value, and applies an M of N criterion to the summed value, delivering a ratio value. The ratios values are analyzed in order to identify the cell and the sub-frame, corresponding to a cell identifier and a sub-frame alignment, associated to a particular ratio value among the ratios values, which exceeds a second predetermined threshold.Type: GrantFiled: December 6, 2011Date of Patent: December 3, 2013Assignee: Sequans CommunicationsInventors: Nadav Fine, Yossi Tsfati

Patent number: 8255754Abstract: A novel and useful range extension and in-band noise mitigation mechanism that uses conventional CRC error detection codes to correct single and multiple bit errors in packets received over a communications link. The CRC error correction mechanism of the invention is particularly suitable for use with communication protocols with weak error correction capabilities. The mechanism uses the linearity property of the CRC calculation to detect the existence of errors in the received packet. The entire received packet is searched for single bit errors and are corrected in a single cycle. If no single bit errors are found, the mechanism then searches for multiple bit errors. Packet retransmissions are used to detect and mark the location of multiple bit errors. Multiple bit errors are corrected by trying a plurality of hypotheses of single bit error corrections. Each hypotheses pattern is investigated to find matching CRC patterns for correction using the single bit, single cycle CRC error correction method.Type: GrantFiled: May 12, 2008Date of Patent: August 28, 2012Assignee: Texas Instruments IncorporatedInventors: Yossi Tsfati, Gregory Lerner, Eli Dekel, Itay Sherman

Patent number: 8218487Abstract: A novel and useful adaptive frequency hopping scheme for wireless devices and networks operating in a congested environment of similar devices, where capacity maximization is desired. The hopping sequence of each wireless link is dynamically adapted such that the impact of the surrounding interference is minimized and the interference induced onto the coexisting systems is also minimized. The scheme detects the repetitive presence of interference on a particular channel and comprises a replacement mechanism for swapping the interfered frequency-channel with one that would be clear for that particular time-slot. The mechanism detects interference during a redundant portion of the transmission (i.e. header or trailer) without having to experience packet failures (i.e. data loss). If the interference impact (e.g.Type: GrantFiled: April 9, 2008Date of Patent: July 10, 2012Assignee: Texas Instruments IncorporatedInventors: Oren E. Eliezer, Yossi Tsfati

Publication number: 20120170556Abstract: Wireless radio devices that communicate in close proximity to each other typically suffer from interference. Such interference between collocated wireless radio devices can lead to degradation in performance of one or both of the wireless radio devices. Functionality can be implemented to coordinate communications of collocated WLAN and WWAN devices to minimize interference between the WLAN device and the WWAN device. The WLAN device can determine a WLAN communication time interval associated with the WLAN device for performing WLAN communication operations and a WWAN communication time interval associated with the WWAN device for performing WWAN communication operations. In response to determining that the WLAN communication time interval is in progress, WLAN communication operations can be performed at the WLAN device. In response to determining that the WLAN communication time interval is not in progress, the WLAN device can delay performing the WLAN communication operations.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 31, 2010Publication date: July 5, 2012Applicant: Atheros Communications, Inc.Inventors: Yossi Tsfati, Olaf J.
