Embodiments of a wireless transceiver are provided. Embodiments can be used in multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) wireless transceivers. In an embodiment, radio control signal bundles are provided as direct parallel interconnects between digital signal processing modules and the radio module of the wireless transceiver to enable a precise low-latency control of radio functions. In another embodiment, a separate physical line is provided to control each radio setting of the radio module, thereby enabling simultaneous real-time control of any number of radio settings. In a further embodiment, the various digital and analog components of the wireless transceiver are integrated within a single chip of the same process technology.

Methods and systems for choosing at least one signal path are disclosed. Aspects of the method may include determining a signal quality metric for each of a plurality of signal paths, modifying the signal quality metric for each of the plurality of signal paths, and selecting at least one signal path based on at least one modified signal quality metric. At least one of the signal paths may be cycled through and the signal quality metric may be biased and/or increased and/or decreased for each of the plurality of signal paths by a fixed amount and/or by a predetermined amount. The signal quality metric may also be dynamically changed for each of the plurality of signal paths.

A method for choosing at least one signal path is disclosed and may include determining a power level characteristic for each of a plurality of signal paths. The determined power level characteristic for each of the plurality of signal paths may be modified. At least one of the plurality of signal paths may be selected for receiving a signal. The selecting may be based on at least one of the modified power level characteristics. The method may also include cycling through at least one of the signal paths. The power level characteristic for each of the plurality of signal paths may be biased. The power level characteristic for each of the plurality of signal paths may be increased by a fixed amount.
摘要:
A method and device for transmitting a frame of a wireless communication begins by generating a preamble of the frame that includes a short training sequence and at least one long training sequence. The at least one long training sequence includes non-zero energy on each of a plurality of subcarriers except a DC subcarrier. The at least one long training sequence corresponds to the number of antennas and applicable wireless communication standards. A matrix is defined to represent the at least one long training sequence. The preamble is compatible with legacy and current standards. A channel is defined with a set of sub carriers to transmit the frame.

A method of communicating data to M receiving antennas from N transmitting antennas, where M and N are integers and unequal, has the steps of sending a message to determine a number of transmit paths to be used, awaiting an acknowledgement message comprising a number of receiver paths, setting the number of transmit paths based on at least the acknowledgement message, producing data streams from outbound data based on the number of transmit paths, applying the data streams to a space/time encoder to produce encoded signals and transmitting the encoded signals from at least a portion of N transmitting antennas.

A network device for implementing high-rate greenfield transmission in a mixed mode frame structure. The network device is configured to transmit a mixed mode frame on two adjacent channels. The mixed mode frame comprises at least two backward compatible portions of a first frequency and a greenfield portion of a second frequency.
摘要:
A method of and apparatus for noise reduction for a transceiver transmitting frames over a transmission medium in a frame-based communications network. A transceiver transmit path and a transceiver receive path is provided. A blocking switch is located in the transceiver transmit path, the blocking switch allowing transmit signal propagation when enabled, while preventing both transmit signal propagation and circuit device noise coupling from the transceiver transmit path to the transceiver receive path when the blocking switch is disabled. The blocking switch is disabled when the transceiver transmit path is not transmitting frames over the frame-based communications network.
摘要:
A method for selecting frame encoding parameters to improve transmission performance for a transmitting frame being transmitted from a transmitting station to a receiving station over a transmission medium of a frame-based communications network is provided, the transmitting frame having a header segment and a payload segment, the header segment being transmitted using a fixed set of encoding parameters such that the header segment can be received and decoded by all stations on the network, the payload segment being transmitted using a variable set of payload encoding parameters, the transmitting station sending the transmitting frame using one set of the variable set of payload encoding parameters at a time. The receiving station receives and decodes the header and payload segments of each transmitting frame. The decoding includes computing frame statistics. A plurality of sets from the variable set of payload encoding parameters are selected to form a possible set of payload encoding parameters. For each set of payload encoding parameters in the possible set of payload encoding parameters an estimate of network performance characteristics expected if the transmitting station were to transmit the transmitting frame using that set of payload encoding parameters is generated based upon the frame statistics. A set of payload encoding parameters having optimized network performance characteristics is selected based upon the estimates of expected network performance for each set of payload encoding parameters in the possible set of payload encoding parameters.
