  • Publication number: 20180167235
    Abstract: A receiver includes power estimation circuitry configured to estimate a first power associated with a first field of a packet and a second power associated with a second field of the packet. The receiver additionally includes channel estimation circuitry configured to determine a second channel estimation of a channel associated with communication of the packet. The second channel estimation is determined based on the first power, the second power, and a first channel estimation of the channel.

  • Publication number: 20170085396
    Abstract: Systems and methods for wireless communications are disclosed. More particularly, aspects generally relate to techniques for wireless communications by an apparatus comprising receiving a packet via a wireless channel, determining a parameter indicative of frequency selectivity of the channel, selecting a smoothing filter based on the parameter; and applying the smoothing filter to process at least one portion of the packet.

  • Publication number: 20160149727
    Abstract: A method of determining a channel response of a communications channel. A computing device receives a data packet via the communications channel and generates a first channel estimation based on a first portion of a preamble of the received data packet. The computing device further generates a second channel estimation based on a second portion of the preamble and determines the channel response of the communications channel based, at least in part, on an average of the first and second channel estimations. For example, the first portion of the preamble may correspond with a Long Training Field (LTF), and the second portion of the preamble may correspond with a Very High Throughput Signal B (VHT-SIG-B) field.

  • Patent number: 9160586
    Abstract: Systems and techniques relating to IQ mismatch estimation and compensation are described. A described technique includes obtaining samples of a received signal via circuitry having an IQ mismatch; determining an estimated gain imbalance parameter for the IQ mismatch based on an in-phase average value of in-phase training samples and a quadrature average value of quadrature training samples; determining an estimated phase imbalance parameter for the IQ mismatch based on a combined average value, the estimated gain imbalance parameter, and a squared average value, the combined average value being based on a pair-wise multiplication of the in-phase training samples and the quadrature training samples, the squared average value being based on squared versions of the in-phase training samples; updating the in-phase data samples based on the estimated gain imbalance parameter to produce updated in-phase data samples; and updating the quadrature data samples by respectively adding quadrature update values thereto.

  • Patent number: 8744017
    Abstract: A method and system for demapping a hierarchical signal is disclosed. The method includes receiving a hierarchical signal comprising first and second encoded, modulated signals. A conditional probability relating to the structure of the second encoded, modulated signal is determined. The hierarchical signal is demodulated using the conditional probability to generate a first encoded data stream. The first encoded data stream is decoded to recover information bits.
