Title: Mapping non binary Galois Field symbols on to MIMO symbols for efficient maximum likelihood detection
Inventor: PICHI OTTAVIO
IPC: H04L1/00
Filed: 2010-06-10
Abstract: A forward error correction scheme (FEC) outputs Galois/finite field (GF) symbols (GFS) 10 with an order greater than two. The GFS are formed into binary images 12, mapped on to symbol constellations (eg. QAM, QPSK) 14 and thence mapped on to MIMO codewords 16. The mapping is subject to rules to optimise maximum likelihood (ML) detection at the receiver. GFS, constellation and MIMO codeword sizes (N, M, P) are selected to accommodate the rules. An I or Q constellation component should relate to a single GFS to reduce correlated errors in FEC codewords. The GFS should be concentrated in as few MIMO codewords as possible, minimising the amount of MIMO codewords that the ML detector must operate on. The GFS should be mapped to MIMO components that experience uncorrelated fading. The MIMO components can be distinguished by frequency, polarisation, space or time. GFS components within one MIMO codeword may be ML decoded together to reduce the number of Euclidean distances that must be calculated.

Title: Method of identifying precursor ions
Inventor: WILDGOOSE JASON LEE
IPC: H01J49/00
Filed: 2013-05-09
Abstract: A method of mass spectrometry is disclosed comprising mass selectively transmitting precursor ions from a mass analyser into a fragmentation or reaction device to produce fragment or product ions. The mass to charge ratios of the precursor ions transmitted varies with time. The fragment or product ions are mass analysed and the start and end times at which a first fragment or product ion is detected is determined. Using these start and end times, the start and end times at which a precursor ion of said first fragment or product ion is transmitted by said mass analyser can also be determined and these used to determine a mass to charge ratio of said precursor ion. The present invention enables precursor ion peaks to be resolved from the fragment data even when a low resolution mass analyser is used to analyse the precursor ions.
