Receiver

Simple SummaryContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.

This patent describes a method for optimizing the sequence of algorithms used in a digital receiver, which is particularly relevant to advanced wireless systems (like MIMO receivers). The method models each receiver function (like decoding, demapping, mapping, and channel estimation) as a set of algorithm candidates, evaluates how these algorithms perform—in terms of bit error rate, complexity, and delay—by using statistical models, and efficiently determines the best sequence of algorithms to maximize receiver performance for given operating conditions (such as signal-to-noise ratio). The approach allows this optimization to be done faster and with less resource consumption than full-scale hardware or simulation testing.

Use CasesContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.

• Design and optimization of wireless communication receivers (e.g., for LTE, 5G/6G basestations or devices)
• Development and benchmarking of receiver architectures for MIMO (Multiple-Input, Multiple-Output) systems
• Software-defined radio (SDR) platforms where flexible and efficient receiver algorithm selection is valuable
• Automated hardware/software partitioning or scheduling in complex communication systems
• Receiver adaptation to different channel conditions (e.g., urban fading, interference environments)

BenefitsContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.

• Reduces the design time and computational effort required for evaluating and optimizing receiver architectures
• Enables systematic, data-driven selection of optimal receiver algorithms under varying operational conditions
• Supports rapid prototyping and adaptation of receivers for new standards and modulation schemes
• Improves receiver performance (lower bit error rate, optimized resource use) by ensuring the best possible algorithm sequence is chosen
• Facilitates efficient use of hardware resources by considering computational complexity and processing delay in the optimization decision
