Patent ID: 11108600

Abstract:
A receiver circuit for separating a plurality of layers multiplexed in an orthogonal frequency domain multiplexed (OFDM) signal includes: a descrambling sub-circuit configured to descramble a plurality of signals received on non-adjacent subcarriers of the OFDM signal to generate a plurality of descrambled signals; an inverse fast Fourier transform sub-circuit configured to transform the descrambled signals from a frequency domain to a received signal including a plurality of samples in a time domain; and a layer separation sub-circuit configured to separate the layers multiplexed in the received signal by: defining a first time domain sampling window and a second time domain sampling window in accordance with a size of the inverse fast Fourier transform; extracting one or more first layers from the samples in the first time domain sampling window; and extracting one or more second layers from the samples in the second time domain sampling window.
