    Abstract: A radio network node (28) comprises a transmitter/receiver (48, 82, 93) configured to communicate over an air interface (32) with a wireless terminal (30); a scheduler (46, 84); and a order signal determination means (46, 62, 84). The scheduler (46, 84) schedules pilot signals, including common pilot signals transmitted for channel estimation, for transmission over the air interface to the wireless terminal. The order signal determination means (46, 62, 84) is configured to make a selective determination whether additional pilot signals for data demodulation are also to be transmitted to the wireless terminal (30) in addition to the common pilot signals transmitted for the channel estimation. The wireless terminal (30) comprises a transmitter and receiver (50, 101, 112) and pilot selection means (68). The pilot selection means (68) is configured to make a determination regarding which pilot signals transmitted by the radio network node are to be utilized by the wireless terminal. The pilot signals transmitted by the radio network node include common pilot signals transmitted for channel estimation and additional pilot signals transmitted for data demodulation.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide methods and apparatus for configuring additional CPICHs, e.g. third CPICH, fourth CPICH, etc., to support MIMO transmissions of rank three or higher. The additional CPICHs may be configured with two or more power levels. A radio network controller (RNC) sends configuration information for the additional CPICHs to a serving base station in a cell to configure the additional CPICHs. The additional CPICHs can be configured to have a fixed power level, or multiple power levels. When the additional CPICHs are configured with multiple power levels, the base station can select the appropriate power level for each CPICH in dependence on current scheduling decisions in order to reduce inference.

More particularly, feedback may be received at the first communication device from the second communication device, with the feedback including a precoding matrix selection from the second communication device.

    Abstract: Multiple antennas employed at the transmitter and receiver can significantly increase a MIMO system capacity, especially when channel knowledge is available at the transmitter. Channel state information may be provided to the transmitter by the receiver in a codebook based precoding feedback. An approach is proposed in which the receiver conducts a search of precoder elements of a codebook to provide the transmitter with rank information and precoder control index that enhances capacity. Unlike the conventional exhaustive search, the proposed approach reduces complexity by reducing the search space of precoder elements for consideration. Performance loss is minimized by reducing the search space of higher rank precoder elements and keeping the search space of lower rank precoder elements.

    Abstract: A method, apparatus, and radio receiver system for canceling multi-user interference in a single-carrier radio communication system. A front-end receiver such as a RAKE receiver receives a radio signal formatted in a sequence of frames, and outputs a plurality of user signals. An ordering unit determines for a current frame, an order in which to decode and remove the interference contributions of the plurality of user signals. The order may be based on a list of user signals sorted in the order of descending signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR), modified by the success or failure of attempts to decode each user signal. A frame calculator determines a coherence time, which is used to calculate the number of subsequent frames in which the user signals are decoded in the determined order.
