Handshaking protocols, techniques, and structures are presented for use in implementing closed loop MIMO using explicit feedback in a wireless network.
摘要:
In Spatial Division Multiple Access (SDMA) communications, mobile devices that are transmitting to a base substantially simultaneously during a predetermined communications phase may wait until after an end of the predetermined communications phase to receive acknowledgments to their transmissions, so that a mobile device making a relatively short transmission does not experience an acknowledgement timeout while another mobile device is still completing a relatively long transmission. In some embodiments, the mobile devices may transmit a non-immediate block acknowledgement request during the communications phase.

Embodiments of methods and apparatus for providing downlink channel parameters determination for downlink channels associated with a multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) system are generally described herein. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.
摘要:
A codebook generation system and associated methods are generally described herein. A method of generating a precoding matrix during closed-loop spatial multiplexing of wireless data may comprise selecting a vector from among vectors stored in a memory based on a received index, applying a Householder transformation to the selected vector to produce an output matrix, forming the precoding matrix from one or more columns of the output matrix, and precoding data for transmission over a wireless channel using the precoding matrix. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
摘要:
A device in a wireless network receives signals and determines media access control (MAC) slot boundaries of the received signals. The MAC slot boundaries are averaged in time, and a local slot boundary is modified in response thereto. The local MAC slot boundary is modified by less than ten percent of a short interframe space until the local MAC slot boundary is within one orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) cyclic prefix duration of the averaged MAC slot boundaries.

Methods and apparatuses for providing CQI feedback with common code rate to a transmitter station are described herein. In one implementation, the methods may include a receiver station that is communicatively linked to a transmitter station via k spatial channels transmitting a first CQI to the transmitter station that indicates a modulation level for use by the transmitter station to transmit (i.e., to configure for transmission) a first of k streams of signals to be transmitted to the receiver station. The first CQI may further include a common code rate to be used by the transmitter station for transmitting the first of the k streams of signals as well as for transmitting the rest of the k−1 additional streams of signals to the receiver station. The receiver station may further transmit to the transmitter station k−1 additional CQIs to indicate to the transmitter station the k−1 modulation levels to be used by the transmitter station for transmitting the k−1 additional streams of signals to the receiver station.
摘要:
Embodiments of the present invention provide an apparatus, comprising a base station operable in a wireless network, the base station including a scheduler, and wherein the scheduler schedules variable length packets for transmission based on transmission times to transmit on each of M spatial channels to mobile stations operable in the wireless network by filling the M spatial channels using data packets buffered for the mobile stations.
