摘要:
The proposed technology provides a computationally efficient way to find suitable routes under consideration of multiple metrics. The considered multi-hop network is represented by a connected graph having nodes and links interconnecting the nodes. The method comprises the step (S1) of obtaining a value of a reference route between a source node and a destination node in the connected graph according a first routing metric. The method further comprises the step (S2) of modifying, based on the value of the reference route according to the first routing metric, the connected graph by modifying link cost, with respect to a second routing metric, of at least one link in the connected graph. The method also comprises the step (S3) of determining at least part of a route between the source node and the destination node in the modified connected graph, based on the modified link cost, according to the second routing metric.

Methods and devices for generating training symbols to be transmitted in a radio network are provided for a radio system where multiple users are sharing the same transmission slot. The method involves forming a sequence of training symbols by repeating an initial block of training symbols and for each user rotating the repeated block by a user specific rotation angle. A rotated block is periodically extended in both ends.

The amount of multi-antenna signals to be transmitted over the backhaul in a Coordinated MultiPoint (CoMP) system from the central processor (CP) to each base station is reduced. Embodiments of the present invention exploit characteristics of the underlying signal structure, and distribute some baseband processing functionalities—such as channel coding and the application of the multi-user precoding—from the CP to the remote base stations. Additionally, in some embodiments the non-precoded parts of multi-antenna signals are broadcast from the CP to all base stations in the CoMP system, to further reduce the burden on backhaul communications. In one embodiment, the backhaul network is a Gigabit-capable Passive Optical Network (GPON).

A method and apparatus for offsetting the frequency of a local oscillator (214) in a receiver are disclosed. The local oscillator frequency is offset with an offset frequency that depends on the training sequence used. Training symbols are inputted to the control unit. The control unit (218) then provides an offset frequency depending on the training symbol received (TS). A rotation of the baseband signal, proportional to the offset frequency, is introduced which later is digitally compensated for (240). Upon reception of the signal, a DC offset is introduced in the radio part. The digital compensation transforms this DC offset, in the baseband signal, to a rotating signal. The rotating DC offset signal is then subtracted in the baseband processing (250, 270).

Systems and methods are disclosed for providing energy efficient operation for wireless access nodes in a dense deployment of wireless access nodes in a cellular communication network. In one particular embodiment, wireless access nodes form a super dense network. In one embodiment, a wireless access node in a dense deployment of wireless access nodes in a cellular communication network includes a transmitter and a receiver that are operated according to a discontinuous transmit and a discontinuous receive mode of operation. The wireless access node controls one or more duty cycles for the discontinuous transmit and discontinuous receive mode of operation based on an alertness state of the wireless access node. In one embodiment, the one or more duty cycles increase as the alertness state of the wireless access node increases. In this manner, the wireless access node is operated in an energy efficient manner.

A compression/decompression method for backhaul communication of a complex-valued radio signal between base stations and the network processing unit, such as a Central Processor of a Coordinated MultiPoint (CoMP) system, significantly reduces backhaul bandwidth. The spatial and temporal correlations of the wireless IQ signal are exploited in order to remove redundancy and substantially reduce signal bandwidth. Feature component signals of significance are extracted through linear transformation to form the radio signal, and are individually quantized, possibly at different bit rates in accordance with their relative importance. The transformation can either be pre-determined or computed in real-time based on the spatial and temporal statistics of the radio signal. In the latter case, the transformation matrix or matrices are also sent over the backhaul in order to allow the radio signal to be reconstructed at the receiving end. Different methods of generating the transformation matrices are proposed.
摘要:
According to one or more method and apparatus embodiments taught herein, network base stations (10) reduce temporal variations in the interference perceived by mobile stations (12) operating within the network (60) by slowing down the rate at which they change or otherwise update the linear precoding settings applied to their transmitted Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplex (OFDM) signals in comparison to the rate at which the base stations (10) perform link adaptation. That is, the precoding-related component of measured interference (e.g., other-cell interference) at the mobile stations (12) is made quasi-stationary with respect to channel quality reporting and link adaptation intervals by fixing the precoding settings used by each base station (10) over time intervals substantially longer than the channel reporting/link adaptation intervals.
摘要:
Methods and network nodes (700-720) route communications between pairs of source and destination nodes through network nodes (700-720) of a wireless communication system. One resource slot of a wireless communication link is selected (1200) between each of a sequence of the network nodes (700-720) along a communication route between one pair of the source and destination nodes. Another resource slot of the wireless communication link is selected (1202) between at least some of the sequence of the network nodes (700-720) along the communication route between the one pair of the source and destination nodes. Selection of the other resource slot between each of the sequence of the network nodes along the communication route can be constrained to selection among resource slots that are available from only the sequence of the network nodes along the communication route between the one pair of the source and destination nodes.
