A receiver for receiving data in a broadcast system includes a broadcast receiver that receives, via the broadcast system, a receiver input data stream including plural channel symbols represented by constellation points in a constellation diagram. A demodulator demodulates the channel symbols into codewords and a decoder decodes the codewords into output data words. A broadband receiver obtains redundancy data via a broadband system, the redundancy data for a channel symbol including one or more least robust bits of the channel symbol or a constellation subset identifier indicating a subset of constellation points including the constellation point representing the channel symbol. The demodulator and/or the decoder is configured to use the redundancy data to demodulate the respective channel symbol and to decode the respective codeword, respectively.

Embodiments may provide a way of communicating via an electromagnetic radiator, or light source, that can be amplitude modulated such as light emitting diode (LED) lighting and receivers or detectors that can determine data from light received from the amplitude modulated electromagnetic radiator. Some embodiments may provide a method of transmitting/encoding data via modulated LED lighting and other embodiments may provide receiving/decoding data from the modulated LED lighting by means of a device with a low sampling frequency such as a relatively inexpensive camera (as might be found in a smart phone). Some embodiments are intended for indoor navigation via photogrammetry (i.e., image processing) using self-identifying LED light anchors. In many embodiments, the data signal may be communicated via the light source at amplitude modulating frequencies such that the resulting flicker is not perceivable to the human eye.

A transmitter circuit in a wireless power transmission system has a tank circuit, having an inductor and a capacitor, the inductor being couplable to the inductor of a receiver circuit. An oscillator generates an oscillation frequency signal for driving the tank circuit. A first digital-to-analog converter (DAC) provides a first control signal to control the oscillating frequency of the oscillator. A frequency shift keying (FSK) circuit changes a digital signal input to the digital-to-analog converter for shifting the oscillation frequency utilized to drive the tank circuit, the FSK signal transmitting data or commands to the receiver circuit. A method of transmitting FSK signals in a wireless power transmission system is also disclosed.

A receiver is configured to detect a plurality of signals on a plurality of subbands over a communication channel that operates on a shared or an unlicensed spectrum. Additionally, the receiver is configured to perform joint correlation over a time domain and a frequency domain of each successive signal of the plurality of signals. Moreover, the receiver is configured to determine a sequence based on the joint correlation. Additionally, the receiver is configured to decode transmission information from the sequence.

The present invention relates to the field of digital signal processing, and in particular to a Costas sequence time-frequency joint synchronization method based on all-phase spectrum correction. The method improves the defects existing in a discrete frequency spectrum correction algorithm using short-time Fourier transform and sliding correlation. The improvement mainly comprises: the present disclosure provides a solution based on iterative optimization: when an actual frequency offset is an integral multiple of the spectral resolution, a large error can occur, frequency offset correction and time delay correction are carried out on a signal by using an estimated value having a large estimated error, then estimation is carried out again, and the frequency offset of the signal is not a special value by means of an iteration mode.

The method further includes inputting the at least one signal waveform to at least one corresponding channel (1552) of a multi-channel orthogonal frequency division multiplex, OFDM, modulator (F, 1502, 1503, 1504) and transmitting an OFDM symbol (s) output by the OFDM modulator (F, 1502, 1503, 1504).

A transmitter for use in a communication system uses a orthogonal modulation method, and the transmitter includes: an orthogonal sequence prescriber that prescribes association between orthogonal signals and information words determined on the basis of sizes of differences between information words of a plurality of mutually different information words and a probability of occurrence of decision errors between orthogonal signals of a plurality of mutually orthogonal signals; and a symbol mapper that, upon input of any of the information words, generates modulation symbols based on the orthogonal signals associated with the input information word according to the associations prescribed by the orthogonal sequence prescriber.

A method for replying with a response frame, an apparatus, and an AP system. A radio frequency processing device receives a PPDU sent by an STA. The radio frequency processing device sends, to a baseband processing device by using a wired medium, a frame obtained based on the PPDU. The radio frequency processing device and the baseband processing device are remotely separated. In response to a target signal that is received by using the wired medium and that is from the baseband processing device, the radio frequency processing device generates a target field, and sends the target field to an air interface. The target field at least includes a first field of a response frame of the PPDU. The target signal is used to instruct the radio frequency processing device to immediately respond to the PPDU.
