Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An apparatus includes selection logic configured to select a first subset of a first set of samples stored at a first set of registers. The first subset includes a first sample stored at a first register of the first set of registers and further includes a second sample stored at a second register of the first set of registers. The apparatus further includes shift logic configured to shift a second set of samples stored at a second set of registers. The apparatus further includes a channel estimator configured to generate a first value associated with a channel estimate based on the first subset and further based on a second subset of the shifted second set of samples.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. An apparatus comprising: selection logic configured to select a first subset of a first set of samples stored at a first set of registers based on an offset value corresponding to a number of the first set of samples, the offset value corresponding to a step value, the first subset including a first sample stored at a first register of the first set of registers and further including a second sample stored at a second register of the first set of registers,…
