摘要:
A broadcast-centric cellular communication system improves broadcast channel performance by exploiting the benefits of macro-diversity in a cellular communication system having a plurality of base stations that transmit signals within a plurality of associated cells. The system constructs an identical paging signal at the plurality of base stations, and controls the base stations to simultaneously transmit the identical paging signal. A mobile station camps on a paging channel that is common to the plurality of base stations, and listens to paging messages being simultaneously broadcast by the plurality of base stations. The mobile station selects a base station having a suitable signal quality, and transmits to the selected base station, a response to a paging message addressed to the mobile station.

In a distributed antenna system that includes a plurality of transmitters and a controller, a method, performed by the controller, may be characterized by performing dirty-paper coding on downlink transmissions to users based on an order of the users, calculating beamforming vectors to provide that each of the downlink transmissions associated with each of the users does not interfere with other users, and maximizing, based on the calculated beamforming vectors, a data rate subject to a power constraint of the distributed antenna system.

In a Coordinated Multi-point (CoMP) system, the base station (BS) in each serving cell (or sector) is allowed to use not only its own antennas, but also the antennas of neighboring BSs to transmit to mobile terminals in the serving cell to form a floating CoMP cell. The serving BS in each floating CoMP cell computes tentative linear precoding weights for transmissions from the coordinating BSs in the floating CoMP cell to users in the serving cell of the floating CoMP cell. The serving BS determines the power availability for transmit antennas in the floating CoMP cell that are shared with other floating CoMP cells, and scales the tentative precoding weights based on the power availability of the shared transmit antennas to determine final precoding weights so that the power constraints of the shared transmit antennas will not be violated.

An arrangement, method, and access point (AP) in a wireless telecommunication network for providing a user terminal (UT) with access to the network utilizing a contention-based, multi-access uplink channel. The AP includes Nrx receive antennas, where Nrx>1, for receiving simultaneous uplink transmissions from a number of UTs, wherein the number of UTs transmitting on a given slot is less than or equal to Nrx. The AP sends power-control commands to the UTs to control the transmit power of each of the UTs to provide received signals of equal average power at the AP. The AP also instructs each UT to select its transmission data rate based on a noise level at the AP, so as to achieve a desired level of reliability. An MMSE receiver without successive interference cancellation receives the packets transmitted from the UTs and separately demodulates and decodes the packets received from each user terminal.

Diversity arrays of antenna elements and phased arrays of antenna elements can be used to produce omni-directional transmissions. Communication signaling is produced based on a desired communication signal that is to be transmitted omni-directionally. In response to the communication signaling, the antenna elements cooperate to effect approximately omni-directional antenna transmission of the desired communication signal.

Radio transmission in an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplex, OFDM, based cellular wireless radio transmission system (1), wherein radio access equipment (2) of the system connects to multiple geographically spread radio antennas (3, 4, 5) of a Distributed Antenna System, DAS, for transmitting to and receiving radio signals from user equipment (6, 7, 8, 9, 10). Transmit timings for radio transmission between the user equipment (6, 7, 8, 9, 10) and the antennas (3, 4, 5) of the DAS are established. The radio transmission is scheduled based on the established transmit timings.

A User Equipment, UE, (20) in a wireless communication network (10) includes a multiplicity of antennas (224), from which a subset of antennas is selected using a selection scheme synchronized to the network. A set of sub- carriers is selected from a plurality of sub-carriers using a selection scheme synchronized to the network. The UE receives a plurality of known reference symbols over the selected set of sub-carriers and through the selected subset of antennas. A frequency response for each selected sub-carrier is estimated over only the selected subset of antennas. The results are quantized and transmitted to the network on an uplink control channel.
