A Bluetooth receiver is provided. The Bluetooth receiver comprises processing circuitry configured to receive a receive signal and to determine receive symbols based on the receive signal. The Bluetooth receiver further comprises control circuitry configured to determine a frequency offset and/or a modulation index of the receive signal based on the receive signal. The control circuitry is additionally configured to control an operation mode of the processing circuitry based on the determined frequency offset and/or the modulation index of the receive signal.

This disclosure describes systems, methods, and devices related to enhanced constellation shaping. A device may generate payload bits associated with a frame, wherein the payload bits comprise a first portion and a second portion. The device may send the first portion of the payload bits through a shaping encoder. The device may generate shaped bits from the shaping encoder. The device may determine a number of amplitude bits based on the shaped bits. The device may generate parity bits from the shaped bits and the second portion going through an low-density parity-check (LDPC) encoder. The device may select sign bits comprising the second portion and a first subset of the parity bits. The device may send the amplitude bits with the sign bits to a modulator before transmitting the frame to a first station device.

Peak rate enhancement for constellation shaping

This disclosure describes systems, methods, and devices related to fixed-to-fixed shaping encoding. A device may determine a mapping table associated with uniformly distributed bits into amplitudes with desired probabilities. The device may predict a number of output bits for an input block. The device may apply padding as needed based on the predicted number of output bits.

Constellation shaping with fixed-to-fixed shaping encoding

This disclosure describes systems, methods, and devices related to enhanced constellation shaping. A device may generate payload bits associated with a frame to be sent to a first station device. The device may generate a first output bits having a first length based on the application of a first mask of one or more masks to the payload bits. The device may generate a second output bits having a second length based on the application of a second mask of the one or more masks. The device may compare the first length of the first output bits to the second length of the second output bits. The device may select the first mask or the second mask based on the comparison. The device may convert the payload bits using the selected mask before passing through a shaping encoder to generate shaped bits. The device may cause to send the frame bits and an indication of the selected mask to the first station device.

Enhanced constellation shaping

An apparatus for a station (STA) configured for operating in a next-generation (NG) wireless local area network (WLAN) comprises the processing circuitry configured to modify probabilities of constellation points to generate a more Gaussian distribution. In these embodiments, for LDPC framing and OFDM packing, the transmitter circuitry may be configured to compute a number of output bits (b) to be transmitted based on a number of payload bits (b) at an output of a shaping encoder, a shaping rate (r), and an overhead percent (B). A shaping gain of up to 1.53 dB may be achieved. A new shaping encoder is provided to address the issue that the number of bits is not fixed.

A transmitter is provided. The transmitter includes an envelope tracking circuit, wherein the envelope tracking circuit includes an envelope circuit configured to generate, based on a baseband signal, an envelope signal indicating a temporal course of the baseband signal's envelope. Further, the envelope tracking circuit includes a bandwidth reduction circuit configured to generate a bandwidth reduced envelope signal based on the envelope signal, and a DC-to-DC converter configured to generate a supply voltage for a power amplifier of the transmitter based on the bandwidth reduced envelope signal. The transmitter additionally includes a predistortion circuit configured to generate a predistorted baseband signal based on the baseband signal and an adjustable predistortion configuration. The predistortion circuit is further configured to adjust the predistortion configuration based on the bandwidth reduced envelope signal.
