Abstract:
Provided is a frame configuration usable for both SISO transmission and MISO and/or MIMO transmission. A frame configurator of a transmission device configures a frame by gathering data for SISO and configures a frame by gathering data for MISO and/or MIMO data, thereby to improve the reception performance (detection performance) of a reception device.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method for transmitting/receiving a signal in a communication system with a plurality of antennas are provided. Received modulation symbols of channel coded transmission information data are generated using a space-time mapping scheme and processed to RF symbols. The RF symbols are transmitted through antennas among the plurality of antennas.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method and an arrangement for a mobile telecommunication network for selecting an antenna mode to be used for communication between a radio network and a mobile terminal operating in discontinuous reception mode. The arrangement comprises a determiner configured to determine a mode list comprising antenna modes both supported by the radio network and the mobile terminal, associating means configured to associate each antenna mode in the mode list with a degree of a pre-defined performance measure, retrieving means configured to retrieve information indicating the pre-defined performance measure for the mobile terminal, and a selector configured to select an antenna mode from the mode list at least based on the retrieved information.
Abstract:
A Frequency Division Duplex (FDD) wireless terminal includes spaced-apart antennas that are configured to transmit over a return link and to receive over a forward link that is spaced apart from the return link in frequency. The FDD wireless terminal is configured to selectively refrain from transmitting over the return link from at least one of the spaced-apart antennas of the FDD wireless terminal in response to differentials in forward link power that is received at the spaced-apart antennas of the FDD wireless terminal, that are caused, for example, by blocking appendages of a user of the wireless terminal. Related methods are also described.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a receiver (1) for receiving digital radio signals and for providing a data flow, comprising: several receiver units (5, 6, 7, 8), each designed to receive a digital radio signal and to demodulate the same to give an intermediate signal, a combiner unit (17), for combining the intermediate signals into a resulting combined intermediate signal to improve the quality thereof, a switching unit (16), connected to the receiver units (5, 6, 7, 8) and designed to either select at least one of the intermediate signals from the several receiver units for decoding in a first operating mode or to provide the intermediate signals from the several receiver units to the combiner unit (17) in a second mode in order to improve the quality of the intermediate signal, a channel decoder (13), connected to the switching unit (16) and the combiner unit (17), to decode the intermediate signal selected by the switching unit (16) or the combined intermediate signal combined by the combiner unit (17) to give a data flow.
Abstract:
Method and RNC for selecting a transmission technology to MIMO UEs, HSDPA UEs and non-HSDPA UEs of a network with multiple carriers, comprising: - checking whether the UE is a MIMO UE; - using STTD on at least one radio carrier and allocating MIMO traffic to it, - checking whether the UE is a HSDPA UE vulnerable to STTD and comparing the radio conditions with at least one quality threshold, and - if the UE is vulnerable to STTD and the radio conditions are equal to or higher than the first quality threshold (good radio conditions), allocating its traffic to any of the remaining radio carriers free of MIMO traffic; - if the UE is vulnerable to STTD and the radio conditions are lower than the first quality threshold (medium or bad radio conditions), allocating its traffic to any carrier on a frequency selection basis, for example, relative load among carriers.
Abstract:
A communication system and method for single-point transmission and reception and coordinated multi-point transmission and reception are provided. The system and method include determining information associated with a channel status of a target terminal. The system and method also include selecting, with respect to the target terminal, one of single-point transmission and reception and coordinated multi-point transmission and reception based on the information associated with the channel status of the target terminal.
