Abstract: A modulator subjects an input signal to primary modulation to generate a primary modulated signal. A transmitter generates and transmits a transmission signal based on a secondary modulated signal generated from the primary modulated signal. A retransmission request receiver receives a retransmission request that contains identification information. An operator uses a data sequence that is a set of elements of a same number as a number of elements in an input signal identified by the identification information and with element values of 1 or 0 to generate operation data whose elements are values of exclusive OR of respective elements of the input signal and respective elements of the data sequence that are at same positions as positions of the respective elements of the input signal. If a retransmission request receiver receives a retransmission request, the modulator and transmitter perform the above processing using the operation data as an input signal.

Abstract: Signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs) and/or amplifier performance can be improved in crest factor reduction (CFR) applications by steering clipping noise in a different direction than the data signal achieving upon reception. Indeed, using clipping noise signals that have a different amplitude-phase relationship than the input/baseline signal causes the clipping noise signal and data signal to exhibit different antenna patterns, effectively steering the clipping noise in a different direction than the data signal. For instance, clipping noise can be steered away from potential receivers to improve received signal quality. In addition, higher magnitude clipping noise can be used to achieve improved power amplifier performance without increasing received SNR.

A solution value is estimated for the selected complex factor during the computation interval by an iterative computation that constrains the estimated solution value towards a final solution value over an arbitrary number of iterations that is not bounded by the duration of the computation interval. A cumulative error in the estimated solution value is computed at each iteration over consecutive computation intervals. From the cumulative error, it is determined whether a convergence criterion is met and, if so, the estimating is terminated. The termination occurs independently of the solution value estimated for any one of the complex factors in the set.
