The microwave backhaul architecture includes an indoor communication unit (IDU) configured to perform modulation and/or demodulation of the data and to perform a conversion of the data. The data is configured to have a modulation and baud rate dictated by performance capabilities of the IDU. The microwave backhaul architecture also includes an outdoor communication unit (ODU) configured to adjust at least one of the modulation and baud rate of the data in accordance with communication constraints to produce remodulated data. The ODU is configured to adjust the modulation and baud rate of the data such that the remodulated data has a higher-order modulation and lower baud rate when communicated over the wireless link than the modulation and baud rate of the data when communicated between the IDU and the ODU.Type: GrantFiled: October 4, 2012Date of Patent: November 4, 2014Assignee: Broadcom CorporationInventor: Kobi Sturkovich

Patent number: 8873655Abstract: Technology is discussed for increasing the spectral efficiency of an Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplexing (OFDM) symbol. Spectral efficiency can be increased by adding information to a band edge of the OFDM symbol in connection with measures taken to reduce OOB spectral leakage from the OFDM symbol. Spectral leakage reduction measures can include application of a tapering window to at least a portion of OFDM data in the time domain to reduce power in side-lobes in the frequency domain. In some examples, such measures can comprise reducing transmission power at certain frequencies for a set of adjacent sub-carriers within the OFDM symbol at or near the band edge of the OFDM symbol. The additional bandwidth at the OFDM symbol can be used for many different applications, such as, without limitation, Device-to-Device (D2D) communication and/or Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communication.Type: GrantFiled: January 10, 2013Date of Patent: October 28, 2014Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Bhaskar Rao, Qinghua Li

Patent number: 8873660Abstract: A method and apparatus controls diversity reception in a wireless communication device. By determining a value based on a number of active set pilot signals received from a set of base stations, the wireless communication device dynamically enables or disables diversity reception. Diversity reception can be controlled by adjusting a diversity threshold based on the determined value. A channel quality indicator of a channel is measured and compared against the adjusted diversity threshold. The diversity reception mode is then enabled or disabled based on the comparison. For example, if the number of active pilot signals is above a predetermined value, indicating “good” coverage, the diversity threshold is decreased. The measured channel quality indicator is compared against the adjusted threshold, and diversity reception is enabled when the channel quality indicator is less than the decreased diversity threshold.Type: GrantFiled: February 24, 2011Date of Patent: October 28, 2014Assignee: Motorola Mobility LLCInventors: Matthew F. Valentine, Steve L. Sheya
