Title: Receivers and methods for receiving signals
Inventor: TAYLOR MATTHEW PAUL ATHOL
IPC: H03M13/27
Filed: 2013-04-02
Abstract: Interleaved received symbols which would otherwise be out of sequence in the deinterleaved symbol stream are stored in a buffer 701 and then later written into the delay portions of the convolutional deinterleaver to allow a correctly deinterleaved symbol stream to be obtained despite discontinuity punctures such as interleaving frame transitions. To reduce memory requirements, the buffer 701 may use delay portion memory elements which are unoccupied due to the discontinuity. The deinterleaver may be reconfigured, and interleaving frame lengths may be changed, whilst maintaining a constant latency through the deinterleaver. The interleaver may be used in a TV receiver.

Title: Communication system
Inventor: AWAD YASSIN ADEN
IPC: H04W72/12
Filed: 2013-05-10
Abstract: A communication system is provided in which a communication node can allocate resources for another communication node within a number of consecutive subframes using a single control message. The other communication node receives codewords transmitted using the allocated resources, aggregates ACK/NACK feedback for the received codewords and transmits the aggregated ACK/NACK feedback to the communication node for use in controlling subsequent transmission of new codewords or retransmission of previous codewords. The control message may include resource assignment data that assigns the same resources within each of the subframes. The control message may include modulation and coding scheme data (MCS data) indicating the same MCS will be used in each subframe. The control message may also indicate whether the codeword is new or retransmitted. The control message may include data indicating the number of consecutive subframes to which the allocation relates. The receiving node may determine a HARQ process for a codeword using a subframe number in which the codeword is received.

Title: Electrical conversion
Inventor: MOHAMMED ZAKI AHMED
IPC: H02M7/06
Filed: 2015-01-14
Abstract: An AC-DC converter comprises a bridge rectifier 12 having an input side 14 and an output side 18. A switched capacitor line 20 is connected across the output side of the rectifier comprising capacitor 22, charging leg 24 and switched discharge leg 26. The charging leg incorporates a transistor 30 controlled to maintain a substantially constant charging current when the transistor is conductive. The voltage applied to the base of the transistor may be controlled by a zener diode 36 and resistor 38 connected across the output side of the rectifier. The converter may be controlled such that when the output from the bridge rectifier is greater than a predetermined value and is higher than that of the capacitor, then charging of the capacitor at a constant current will occur. Once a point is reached at which the capacitor charge exceeds the rectifier output to the capacitor, charging will cease. The capacitor charge is maintained until the switch of the switched discharge leg is controlled to allow discharge of the capacitor. The converter may form part of a power supply for electrical or electronic equipment.
