Title: A method for improving the performance of OFDM receiver and a receiver using the method
Inventor: OREN ROY
IPC: H04K1/10
Filed: 2006-03-30
Abstract: One or more parameters of a tuner (101) of a receiver (100) may be adjusted by generating for the receiver one or more control signals associated with one or more parameters and applying control signals (106) to the tuner during a cyclic prefix (CP) period. The receiver may generate a control strobe in synchronization with the CP period wherein the control strobe essentially begins with the CP period and has duration preferably shorter than the duration of the CP period. The duration of the control strobe may be chosen such that the one or more control signals, after being applied to the tuner, each reaches its steady state before the CP period lapses. The adjusted parameters, alone or in combination, may be, for example, the gain GLNA. of the low-noise-amplifier (LNA), the synthesizer's local frequency FLO, the DC correction level LDC, the power gain amplifier GPOA, and the I/Q error, and the like. The demodulator of the receiver may generate one or more of the control signals required for adjusting one or more parameters. One or more control signals may be determined according to previously received symbols/transmissions, and by determining the tuner's parameters to be adjusted based on the receiver's continued performance evaluations, and generating and applying the control signals to the tuner as a consequence of or in relation to these evaluations.

Title: Packet header compression using which manages template dictionary using evolutionary mutation, strengthening and death
Inventor: BARDEN RICHARD
IPC: H03M7/30
Filed: 2008-09-30
Abstract: Packet header compression wherein static and predictably changing bytes are replaced with references to a dictionary of templates are well known. The invention compares packets to the dictionary in the conventional wayA1/A2. If no match is found a new conception template is startedA9with 0 static bytes and an initial strength. If a partial match is foundA7a mutant template with less static bytes and an initial strength value is createdA8. If a full match is found it used for compression and its strength is increasedA3.When repeated matches are madeA5a mutant with more static bytes and an initial strength value is createdA6. New conception and mutant template can have differing initial strengths. After each packet strength values are reducedA0and 0 strength templates killed and deleted (similar to a time out). The technique does not require knowledge of the packet structure and can therefore be used with multiple protocols.
