Abstract:
The present invention provides a diversity transmission system. The diversity transmission system includes a method and system of diversity transmission through a wireless channel formed between multiple transmission antennae of a transceiver and a subscriber unit. The method includes forming a stream of symbols from an incoming data stream. A plurality of the symbols are selected forming a data vector. A maximum delay spread through the wireless channel is determined. The maximum delay spread is generally determined as a multiple of a sample time spacing between elements of the data vector. A plurality of diversity vectors are generated based upon the data vector and the maximum delay spread, each diversity vector includes a plurality of elements. Corresponding elements of the diversity vectors are simultaneously transmitted, each diversity vector transmitted from at least one corresponding antenna of a plurality of spatially separate antennae. This embodiment can further include repeatedly simultaneously transmitting corresponding elements of the diversity vectors until all elements of the diversity vectors have been transmitted, each diversity vector transmitted from at least one corresponding antenna of a plurality of spatially separate antennae.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a method and system for receiving a plurality of transmission signals at a receiver, the transmission signals each traveling through a corresponding transmission channel. The receiver includes a plurality of receiver channels, a receiver channel corresponding to each transmission channel. Each receiver channel receives a corresponding transmission signal. The received transmission signals are detected to determine whether the received transmission signals are dominated by noise or interference. If the received transmission signals are dominated by noise, then a first set of weights are selected as a receiver weighting. If the received transmission signals are dominated by interference, then a second set of weights are selected as the receiver weighting. The received transmission signals are estimated based upon the receiver weighting. Detecting whether the received transmission signals are dominated by noise or interference includes determining a level of correlation between the received transmission signals. Detecting whether the received transmission signals are dominated by noise or interference can be determined during a time slot of nulled transmission signals. If the transmission signals are multiple carrier signals, then detecting whether the received transmission signals are dominated by noise or interference can be determined during a frequency and time slot of a nulled carrier of the transmission signals. The first set of weights can be based upon a first covariance matrix, wherein the first covariance matrix represents received noise and interference covariance. The second set of weights can be based upon the second covariance matrix, wherein the second covariance matrix represents interference covariance. The first set of weights and the second set of weights can also be used for transmission mode selection and receiver soft decoding.
Abstract:
Embodiments of a wireless access network and method for allocation time and frequency resources are generally described herein. Other embodiments may be described and claimed. In some embodiments, a base station allocates contiguous groups of data subcarriers of a downlink subframe to closed-loop user stations, and allocates the remaining data subcarriers of the downlink subframe to open-loop user stations to increase frequency diversity.
Abstract:
The invention includes an apparatus and a method for adjusting a power level of a transmission signal for minimal distortion. The method includes modulating the transmission signal. The modulated transmission signal is processed to reduce a peak to average ratio of the modulated transmission signal based upon modulation parameters of the modulated transmission signal. The power level of the modulated transmission signal is adjusted according to the peak to average ratio of the modulated transmission signal. The transmission signal is amplified and transmitted.
