US 2016/0105861 A1 · ANTENNA DELAY BUFFERING IN TELECOMMUNICATION RECEIVERS

Abstract

A telecommunication receiver is arranged for receiving related data originating from multiple antennas, which data have different times of arrival due to, for example, different delays. The receiver comprises an input buffer for buffering data, a transform unit for Fourier transforming the data received from the input buffer into transformed data, and an output buffer for buffering the transformed data received from the transform unit. The input buffer is arranged for passing each set of data items to the transform unit when the relevant data item has been received in the input buffer, while the transform unit is arranged for removing redundant parts of the data. In addition, the output buffer is arranged for synchronizing the transformed data. Thus the buffering for delay compensation is carried out in the output buffer.

Dependent claims

A telecommunication receiver for receiving, from multiple antennas, related data having different delays, the receiver comprising:

an input buffer for buffering the data for each antenna separately as buffered input data,
a transform unit for selecting, from the buffered input data, relevant input data and Fourier transforming the relevant input data into transformed data for each antenna separately as soon as the relevant input data are available, and
an output buffer for buffering the transformed data for each antenna separately as buffered output data until a predetermined amount of transformed data from all antennas is buffered.
