Technology for forming carrier aggregation timing advance groups in a heterogeneous network (HetNet) is disclosed. One method comprises assigning at least a first component carrier cell to one of a first timing advance group and a second timing advance group. At least a second component carrier cell is assigned to one of the first timing advance group and the second timing advance group. A separate timing advance index value is selected for each of the first and second timing advance groups. The timing advance index value is used to refer to the timing advance group in signaling in the HetNet.

Embodiments of a system and method for transmitting data from an access point in a multiple user multiple input multiple output (MU-MIMO) system are provided. A first indication of signal quality (ISQ) is received at the access point from a first station and a second ISQ is received from a second station. The access point sets a first power level and a first modulation and coding scheme (MCS) for transmission of a first aggregated media access control (MAC) protocol data unit (A-MPDU) to the first station as a function of the first ISQ and an amount of payload data corresponding to the first A-MPDU. The access point also sets a second power level and a second MCS for transmission of a second A-MPDU as a function of the second ISQ and an amount of payload data corresponding to the second A-MPDU.

Embodiments of a mobile device transmitter and methods for transmitting signals in different signal dimensions are generally disclosed herein. The mobile device transmitter comprises a mapper to map a block of two or more input modulation symbols to different signal dimensions comprising two or more spatial dimensions, and linear transform circuitry to perform a linear transform on the block of mapped input modulation symbols to generate a block of preceded complex-valued output symbols such that each output symbol carries some information of more than one input modulation symbol. The mobile device also comprises transmitter circuitry to generate time-domain signals from the blocks of precoded complex-valued output symbols for each of the spatial dimensions for transmission using the two or more antennas. The precoded complex-valued output symbols are mapped to different signal dimensions comprising at least different frequency dimensions prior to transmission.

Embodiments of a communication station and methods for efficiently providing channel feedback for MIMO communications over an OFDM channel are generally described herein. In some embodiments, receiving stations may perform a recursive differential quantization of channel information across time and/or frequency to generate quantized differential channel feedback. The quantized differential channel feedback from each receiving station may be used by a transmitting station to precode MIMO transmissions to one or more of the receiving stations. The quantized differential channel feedback may be either a quantized differential channel matrix or a quantized differential beamforming matrix.
摘要:
In a wireless communications network, a wireless device may examine the received signal to determine the strength of the received signal, and also determine the level of interference and noise. If a retransmission is needed due to a message being incorrectly received, these factors may then be processed to estimate whether the probable cause of poor reception is interference from a neighboring network. If such interference is the likely cause, the retransmission may be changed to a different time and/or to different frequencies in a subsequent frame, so that the interference from the neighboring network is less likely to reoccur.

A system and method of training antennas for two devices having different types of directional antennas in a wireless network is disclosed. The method includes transmitting a plurality of estimation training sequences from a transmit directional antenna to a receive directional antenna. The length of at least one of the plurality of training sequences is adapted to a number of antenna elements at one of the transmit and receive directional antennas. The method further includes transmitting data to the receiver via the transmit directional antenna tuned with an antenna parameter that is selected based at least in part on the plurality of estimation sequences.

A method and system for acquiring beamforming vectors using multiple spreading sequence spreading gains is disclosed. One embodiment of the invention allows time and power to be saved by spreading a training sequence with spreading sequences of different gains in different iterations of an iterative beamforming acquisition procedure. In one embodiment of the invention, the method comprises modulating, at a first station, a first training sequence with a first source beamforming vector, wherein the first training sequence has a first spreading gain, transmitting the modulated first training sequence to a second station, receiving a first response signal from the second station, obtaining a second source beamforming vector based on the first response signal, modulating, at the first station, a second training sequence with the second source beamforming vector, wherein the second training signal has a second spreading gain which is different from the first spreading gain, transmitting the modulated second training sequence to the second station, receiving a second response signal from the second station, obtaining a third source beamforming vector based on the second response signal, and determining whether to use the third source beamforming vector to modulate a data signal to be transmitted to the second station.
