Method, system and device for error detection in OFDM wireless communication networks without full forward error correction decoding

摘要

A system, method and device for error detection/estimation in OFDM communications systems is proposed. The disclosed mechanism allows an efficient error prediction in a received packet, without having to perform full FEC decoding of the packet that could impair the overall latency of the system due to the time spent in a complete FEC decoding of the packet. In order to do that, it generates a decision variable with the aim to check whether a received packet has errors or not, after performing only partial FEC decoding of the packet, without either resorting to the use of error-detection codes.
