An optical receiver configuration and method of controlling an optical signal receiver adjusts a decision threshold to reduce the bit error rate (BER). The receiver includes a comparator having a data input and a digital data output. An error detection & correction circuit provides an error signal representative of the number of corrected “1”s and “0”s in the data output from the comparator. Based on the error signal, a control circuit modifies the comparator decision threshold in a direction to reduce the BER of the receiver. Dynamic modification of the decision threshold may also be accomplished. A total percentage error indicator is preferably used as the basis of changing the decision threshold value. The total percentage error indicator may be used to variably adjust the decision threshold by an amount that varies according to the magnitude of the total percentage error indicator to thereby more quickly arrive at an acceptable decision threshold and prevent overshoot. A searching method may also be used to determine the usable range of the comparator before tuning the decision threshold.

A method significantly reduces the average power for radio communication in a communication system, such as a system that has applications requiring low communication latency. The method may use a low power radio communication circuit (e.g., a non-heterodyne receiver) to wait for a communication request, taking advantage of the low power consumption of the radio communication circuit. Subsequent to receiving and validating the communication request, the communication system may switch to a more efficient—but higher power—communication circuit. Thus, effective communication is achieved without making undesirable tradeoffs, such as reduced sensitivity.

A spread-spectrum code division multiple access interference canceller for reducing interference in a direct sequence CDMA, employed at a base station receiver having N chip-code channels. The interference canceller includes a plurality of correlators or matched filters, a plurality of spread-spectrum-processing circuits, subtracting circuits, and channel correlators or channel-matched filters. Using a plurality of chip-code signals, the plurality of correlators despreads the spread-spectrum CDMA signal as a plurality of despread signals, respectively. The spread-spectrum-processing circuits use a timed version of the chip-code signals, for spread-spectrum processing the despread signals, respectively, with a chip-code-signal corresponding to a respective despread signal.

The invention belongs to the technical field of communication anti-jamming, and particularly relates to a spatial modulation (SM) technology, an antenna selection technology and a multiple input and multiple output (MIMO) modulation technology. An antenna selection method is mainly characterized in that a receiving end obtains an optimal transmitting antenna set and an optimal receiving antenna set according to an estimated channel matrix H. According to the estimated channel matrix in a receiver, receiving antennas are used for receiving in sequence. When each receiving antenna is selected and activated respectively, the sum of transmitting antennas with the maximum module values is taken as the transmitting antenna set according to the transmitting antennas with the maximum module values in required number. After selection of the transmitting antennas, the transmitting antennas are required to be positioned on each receiving antenna, and a certain number of receiving antennas with the maximum module values is put into the receiving antenna set according to the module value sum of a channel coefficient. The antenna selection method is based on the thought of system capacity maximization at the cost of little increase in complexity, the BER (Bit Error Rate) of a system is effectively lowered, and the communication reliability of the system is enhanced.

The invention discloses an ECC (error correction code) decoding controlling method used for data communication. In view of the unpredictability of the signal quality at the data receiving end, at least two check matrices with different correcting capabilities are reconstructed to adapt to the different signal quality encoded data. Accordingly, when the data receiving end receives encode data, in accordance with the signal quality of the encoded data, a check matrix with appropriate correcting ability is selected to decode. So with regard to the relatively high signal quality encoded data, only the using of the check matrix with low correcting ability is capable of ensuring that the error rate is low enough, and the power dissipation and time delay of decoding at the data receiving end are saved. Consequently, not only can enough low BER(bit error rate) at the data receiving end be ensured, but also the power dissipation and time delay of decoding at the data receiving end is taken into consideration as long as the signal quality at the data receiving end has a certain randomness.
