Patent number: 8873605Abstract: A method for estimating a scrambling code used on an uplink of a WCDMA system. The scrambling code is obtained from a Gold code, sum of a first specific M-sequence of the user and of a second M-sequence known from the receiver. After sampling of the signal received at the chip frequency of the scrambling code, the successive samples are subject to a differential treatment and the sequence of differential values is multiplied by the second M-sequence. The observables thereby obtained are decoded with the aid of a belief propagation iterative decoding. The decoded values then serve to determine the content of the shift register of the generator of the first M-sequence. One then deduces therefrom the Gold code and an estimation of the scrambling code, ?.Type: GrantFiled: March 11, 2013Date of Patent: October 28, 2014Assignee: Commissariat à l'énergie atomique et aux énergies alternativesInventor: Mathieu Bouvier des Noes

Patent number: 8699633Abstract: A method for communication includes receiving in a receiver signals, which include one or more dedicated reference signals and are transmitted from a transmitter over a communication channel in multiple blocks. The signals in each block, including the dedicated reference signals, are transmitted on a respective group of subcarriers over a respective time interval and are precoded using a respective precoding scheme that maps the signals onto multiple antenna ports of the transmitter. One or more parameters of the communication channel are estimated over the dedicated reference signals included in two or more of the blocks whose respective precoding schemes do not differ from one another. The signals are decoded based on the estimated parameters.Type: GrantFiled: July 8, 2012Date of Patent: April 15, 2014Assignee: Marvell World Trade Ltd.Inventors: Adoram Erell, Daniel Yellin

Patent number: 8693526Abstract: This invention teaches a way to multiplex and de-multiplex unipolar signals using spread spectrum methods. While bipolar spread spectrum signal multiplexing may be used in may applications, for example for systems using radio signals, when using unipolar signals there is a loss of orthogonally which makes the standard algorithms unworkable. This invention teaches a method to recover orthogonally and make spread spectrum multiplexing useful for unipolar signals. One example is in the measurement of optical absorbance along multiple paths simultaneously using light signals, as for functional near infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS).Type: GrantFiled: February 16, 2012Date of Patent: April 8, 2014Inventor: Chester Roy Wildey

Patent number: 8665856Abstract: A data processing apparatus includes a scrambling processing unit and a sending unit. The scrambling processing unit is configured to generate a Pseudo-Random Binary Sequence (PRBS), perform a modulo-2 addition on the pseudo-random sequence and data frame data to scramble the data frame data including first load data, use one section of a part of the pseudo-random sequence on which the modulo-2 addition is performed with the data frame data as an identification sequence, and carry status information corresponding to the identification sequence in frame header information. The sending unit is configured to send the frame header information carrying the status information and the scrambled first load data. Through the scrambling process, continuous run-lengths of “1” and “0” in the data frame data are quite short, while basically the same probability of occurrence is maintained, which is favorable to transmission of the data frame data, thereby alleviating error code problems.Type: GrantFiled: December 2, 2010Date of Patent: March 4, 2014Assignee: Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.Inventors: Daowei Wang, Chunxing Huang, Daochun Mo
