Combined turbo decoding and turbo equalization techniques
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of performing combined turbo equalization and turbo decoding of a plurality of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols in a communication receiver, at least partially implemented in hardware, the method comprising:
- operating a first iterative loop to produce decision feedback equalized (DFE) symbols by;
receiving a new symbol in a buffer;
re-encoding, when available in the buffer, data from one or more previous symbols and cancelling inter-symbol interference;
de-mapping constellations of an output of the inter-symbol interference cancellation operation;
decoding a first or an inner component code; and
performing an interleaving or de-interleaving operation; and
operating a second iterative loop on the DFE symbols to produce decoded bits by decoding, until a last iteration is reached, the first or the inner component code; and
decoding, until the last iteration is reached a second or an outer component code of the DFE symbols and an input from the decoding of the first or the inner component code; and
producing, upon reaching the last iteration, decoded bits.

Abstract
Techniques are disclosed for turbo decoding orthogonal frequency division multiplexing OFDM symbols. Techniques for combined turbo decoding and equalization are disclosed. The disclosed techniques can be implemented in receivers that receive wired or wireless OFDM signals and produce data and control bits by decoding the received signals.

14. A communication receiver apparatus, comprising:
-
a memory storing instructions; and a processor that reads the instructions from the memory and causes the communication receiver to perform combined turbo equalization and turbo decoding of a plurality of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols by; operating a first iterative loop to produce decision feedback equalized (DFE) symbols by; receiving a new symbol in a buffer; re-encoding, when available in the buffer, data from one or more previous symbol and cancelling inter-symbol interference; de-mapping constellation of an output of the inter-symbol interference cancellation operation; decoding a first or an inner component code; and performing an interleaving or de-interleaving operation; and operating a second iterative loop on the DFE symbols to produce decoded bits by decoding, until a last iteration is reached, the first or the inner component code; and decoding, until the last iteration is reached a second or an outer component code of the DFE symbols and an input from the decoding of the first or the inner component code; and producing, upon reaching the last iteration, decoded bits. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)
