摘要:
A method of variable rate vector quantization reduces the amount of channel state feedback. Channel coefficients of a communication channel are determined and second order statistics (e.g., variances) of the channel taps are computed). Bit allocation for the channel taps are determined based on the coefficients statistics. The channel taps are individually quantized at rates determined based on said bit allocations.

The present invention relates to a method for processing signals to be transmitted in a MIMO system (10; 28) from a transmitter A, B; C having at least two transmitting antennas (11-12, 13-14; 29-31) to a receiver A, B; D having at least two receiving antennas (11- 12, 13-14; 32-34) on a frequency selective communication channel. The method comprises estimating elements of a channel matrix H(Q-1) based on time delays and complex valued coefficients associated with the communication channel to provide an estimated frequency variation function of each element of the channel matrix, and pre-coding the signals to be transmitted based on the estimated frequency variation function for each element. The invention also relates to a MIMO system; and a transmitter and a receiver for use in a MIMO system.

A frequency domain representation of a whitening filter is made to depend on essentially one unknown, namely, a scaling factor that is based on an estimated ratio of total base station power to the power spectral density (PSD) of inter-cell interference plus noise. In turn, that scaling factor can be computed based on the modeling terms used in a parametric model of the impairment correlations for a received communication signal. Preferably, the model comprises an interference impairment term scaled by a first model fitting parameter, and a noise impairment term scaled by a second model fitting parameter. Further, the scaling factor can be computed by directly estimating total base station transmit power and the PSD of inter-cell interference plus noise. In any case, the whitening filter can be used in whitening a received communication signal in conjunction with channel equalization processing or RAKE receiver processing, for example.

A method is described herein that enables a Selective-Per-antenna-RateControl (S-PARC) technique to be effectively implemented in a wireless communications network (e.g., HSPDA third generation communications network). In one embodiment, the method enables the S-PARC technique to be implemented in the wireless communications network by enabling a mobile terminal device to generate and transmit a "full" feedback signal to a base station that analyzes the "full" feedback signal and determines which mode and transmission rates(s) are going to be used to transmit data substream(s) from selected transmit antenna(s) to the mobile terminal device. In another embodiment, the method enables the S-PARC technique to be implemented in the wireless communications network by enabling a mobile terminal device to generate and transmit a "reduced" feedback signal to a base station that analyzes the "reduced" feedback signal and determines which mode and transmission rate(s) are going to be used to transmit data substream(s) from selected transmit antenna(s) to the mobile terminal device.
