Patent CA-2751845-A1 (CA)
Inventor: CHANG JIE JAY
IPC: B64D11/00
Filed: 2010-02-05
Abstract: A hybrid electronics cockpit control panel system architecture is provided that includes optimized interfacing and partitioning. The architecture includes a digital function block with a digital signal processor and digital communication capabili-ties. The architecture also includes integrated cockpit control panels that employ a printed circuit board to avoid wire/cable con-nections for cockpit control panel components beyond the face panel. The architecture provides digital control and communica-tion along a central communication bus that can eliminate the need for dedicated wire connections between the control panel and the electrical components throughout the aircraft, reducing weight and volume.  One example aircraft cockpit control panel system includes a control signal processor that receives electrical control signals from pilot operating devices on the control panel and transforms them into digital status signals for communication on a communication bus. In another example aircraft cockpit control panel system, the control signal processor transforms the electrical control signals into digital control signals that are communicat-ed to aircraft components. In another example aircraft cockpit control panel system, signals from a first control signal processor are passed through at least a second control signal processor to provide a redundant circuit path.

Title: Sphere detection and rate selection for a mimo transmission
Inventor: WALTON JAY RODNEY
IPC: H04B1/00
Filed: 2007-01-10
Abstract: Techniques for performing sphere detection to recover data symbols sent in a MIMO transmission are described. In an aspect, sphere detection is performed for data symbols generated with at least two modulation schemes. In another aspect, sphere detection is performed for the data symbols in an order determined based on at least one attribute of the data symbols, which may be error probabilities, modulation schemes, and/or link margins for the data symbols. In yet another aspect, rates for multiple data streams detected with sphere detection are selected based on channel state information. Signal qualities of the data streams may be estimated based on the channel state information, e.g., (1) an upper triangular matrix used for sphere detection and/or (2) an assumption that interference from data streams already detected is canceled. The rates for the data streams may be selected based on the estimated signal qualities.
