    摘要: Methods and apparatus for implementing a wireless communication transceiver having receive path performance diversity. The transceiver implements a plurality of signal paths that can be configured as space diversity receive paths. Each of the plurality of signal paths includes a distinct RF filter. Each RF filter can be configured to provide a distinct frequency response, and in particular, a distinct jammer rejection profile. One of the RF filters can be configured to provide substantially no in-band jammer rejection. Each additional distinct RF filter can be configured to reject at least one distinct in-band jammer frequency or band of frequencies. A diversity receiver coherently combines the path performance diverse signals from each filter output. A transmitter can time division duplex transmit communications over at least a subset of the signal paths and their associated RF filters.

    摘要: Disclosed is a novel method and system for efficiently synchronizing, transmitting, and receiving data between a base station and a plurality of customer premises. A MAC coprocessor (MCP) (402) is implemented, which works in conjunction with the MAC (410) in order to produce a robust, high throughput communication system. The MAC coprocessor (402) performs many of the tasks typically performed by prior art MAC's, including: during a downlink, storing a data frame, sorting the data frame according to modulation type or other criteria, determining when the data frame is full, and appending a set of CPE settings to the data frame. During an uplink, the MAC coprocessor (402) receives all data and routes the data either to the MAC (410) or a network backhaul. A MAC coprocessor (402) may be used in both the base station and Customer Premises. In both the downlink and uplink processes, having a MAC coprocessor working in conjunction with the MAC may significantly increase the communication system's throughput.

    摘要: On embodiment of the system and method provides asymmetric adaptive modulation which allows uplink and downlink subframes (304, 302, respectively) of data to be transmitted between a base station (102) and a CPE (104) with different modulation schemes, thus increasing the efficiency of downlink transmissions while maintaining the stability of uplink transmissions. In systems with multiple CPEs, each CPE (104) and base station (102) pair can independently select their uplink and downlink modulation techniques. The system and method are also adaptive in that they adjust the modulation schemes based on, for example, signal to noise ratio measurements or bit error rate measurements.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus for communicating and utilizing persistent allocation of resources are described herein. A base station can allocate persistent resources to a client station, and can associate the client station or persistent resource allocation with a particular shared NACK channel. The base station can monitor the NACK channel for a NACK indicating a map error. The base station can also monitor the resource allocation to implicitly determine a map error. The base station can resend one or more persistent resource allocation information elements in response to the NACK or implicit error determination. A client station having a persistent resource allocation can monitor persistent resource allocation information elements in map messages and can indicate failure to receive a persistent resource allocation information element in a NACK message on a preassigned share NACK channel.

    摘要: One embodiment of the system and method provides asymmetric adaptive modulation which allows uplink and downlink subframes (304, 302, respectively) of data to be transmitted between a base station (102) and a CPE (104) with different modulation schemes, thus increasing the efficiency of downlink transmissions while maintaining the stability of uplink transmissions. In systems with multiple CPEs, each CPE (104) and base station (102) pair can independently select their uplink and downlink modulation techniques. The system and method are also adaptive in that they adjust the modulation schemes based on, for example, signal to noise ratio measurements or bit error rate measurements.

    摘要: A two-level database structure for use by unlicensed TVBD devices operating in TV white space comprises a central database and local databases. The central database comprises two sub-database: the central licensed database which maintains information about all licensed TV devices and the central unlicensed database which maintains information about unlicensed wireless devices operating in TV spectrum. The local database is created by each TVBD device or TVBD network when it initiates and it stores information related to all transmitters in the local area including location, power transmission levels, operating schedule, sensing results, backup channel information. The local databases communicate with central database to query it about licensed usage of TV spectrum and register with central database. The local databases communicate with each other to exchange information about channel usage, sensing results, transmission patterns and other information that will allow the local databases to negotiate coexistence without central coordinator. The locally implemented negotiation prevents the overloading of the central database.
