A simple block coding arrangement is created with symbols transmitted over a plurality of transmit channels, in connection with coding that comprises only simple arithmetic operations, such as negation and conjugation. The diversity created by the transmitter utilizes space diversity and either time or frequency diversity. Space diversity is effected by redundantly transmitting over a plurality of antennas, time diversity is effected by redundantly transmitting at different times, and frequency diversity is effected by redundantly transmitting at different frequencies: Illustratively, using two transmit antennas and a single receive antenna, one of the disclosed embodiments provides the same diversity gain as the maximal-ratio receiver combining (MRRC) scheme with one transmit antenna and two receive antennas. The principles of this invention are applicable to arrangements with more than two antennas, and an illustrative embodiment is disclosed using the same space block code with two transmit and two receive antennas.

A radio apparatus communicates with a plurality of terminal apparatuses by using a packet signal composed of at least one stream. A control unit divides a certain period into a plurality of partial periods and assigns respectively the plurality of partial periods to the plurality of terminal apparatuses by associating the periods with the terminal apparatuses. The control unit also generates a packet signal for use in control and packet signals for use in inquiry. In so doing, the control unit generates the inquiry packet signals for the plurality of respective terminal apparatuses, as a single packet signal. A baseband processing unit and other units transmit the control packet signal and then transmit the inquiry packet signals, and receive packet signals, containing inquiry results, from the plurality of respective terminal apparatuses.

In a MIMO receiving apparatus, the signals of single carriers transmitted from a plurality of transmission antennas are received by a plurality of reception antennas (1-1 through 1-N) and then separated according to frequency ranges. In this MIMO receiving apparatus, interference replicas of the antennas are eliminated from the received signals (by subtractor 54) before equalizing the two-dimensional frequency ranges, and non-distortion signal replicas are added (by a demodulating part 55) to the signals from which the interference replicas of the antennas have been eliminated after equalizing the two-dimensional frequency ranges.

A receiver, includes a plurality of antennas to receive radio signals from a plurality of transmission paths, and a plurality of sets of RAKE fingers to generate first signals. Each set of RAKE fingers is coupled to a respective one of the plurality of antennas, and a weighting factor generator generates weighting factors for weighting the first signals, wherein the weighting factor for one of the first signals is generated by using first signals generated by at least two of the plurality of sets of RAKE fingers. Further, at least two of the first signals used to generate the weighting factor are received from the same transmission path.

A method for communication includes receiving a Radio Frequency (RF) channel containing a desired signal conforming to a first air interface and an interfering signal conforming to a second air interface. A first receiver configured for the first air interface and a second receiver configured for the second air interface are synchronized to a common frequency and timing reference. While the first and second receivers are synchronized, the desired signal is decoded from the RF channel using the first receiver to generate a first output, the interfering signal is decoded from the RF channel using the second receiver to generate a second output, and the desired signal is reconstructed while suppressing the interfering signal by jointly processing the first and second outputs.

A weight vector computing unit derives amounts of phase rotation for a plurality of multicarrier signals, respectively, and rotates the phase of a weight vector. A combining unit weights respectively a plurality of multicarrier signals with the phase-rotated weight vector, combines weighting results, and determines a combined result. A receiving weight vector computing unit remodulates the determined result and derives a first phase difference between the plurality of multicarrier signals and a result of the remodulation. The receiving weight vector computing unit remodulates the values of pilot signals and derives a second phase difference between the plurality of multicarrier signals and a result of the remodulation. Further, the receiving weight vector derives phase rotation amounts based on the first phase difference and the second phase difference.

Methods and apparatus for implementing a wireless communication transceiver having receive path performance diversity. The transceiver implements a plurality of signal paths that can be configured as space diversity receive paths. Each of the plurality of signal paths includes a distinct RF filter. Each RF filter can be configured to provide a distinct frequency response, and in particular, a distinct jammer rejection profile. One of the RF filters can be configured to provide substantially no in-band jammer rejection. Each additional distinct RF filter can be configured to reject at least one distinct in-band jammer frequency or band of frequencies. A diversity receiver coherently combines the path performance diverse signals from each filter output. A transmitter can time division duplex transmit communications over at least a subset of the signal paths and their associated RF filters.

The diversity receiver further includes a channel estimator having a mirror window.
摘要:
This disclosure describes equalization techniques for spread spectrum wireless communication. The techniques may involve estimating a channel impulse response, estimating channel variance, and selecting filter coefficients for an equalizer based on the estimated channel impulse response and the estimated channel variance. Moreover, in accordance with this disclosure, the channel variance estimation involves estimation of two or more co-variances for different received samples. Importantly, the equalizer is “fractionally spaced,” which means that the equalizer defines fractional filtering coefficients (filter taps), unlike conventional equalizers that presume that filter coefficients are defined at integer chip spacing. The techniques can allow the equalizer to account for antenna diversity, such as receive diversity, transmit diversity, or possibly both.
