Abstract:
Briefly, in accordance with one or more embodiments, a data packet comprising a first number of bits encoded over a first number of symbols is transmitted to a receiver. If the receiver did not successfully decode the data packet, a negative acknowledgment message is received along with metric information for the transmission. The data packet encoded with a varying number of symbols and transmitted to the receiver, wherein the varying number of symbols is a function of the metric information for the first transmission.
Abstract:
A method of identifying a precoding matrix corresponding to a wireless network channel comprises the steps of identifying a capacity metric that includes an identity matrix, approximating the capacity metric using an approximation metric that ignores the identity matrix, using the approximation metric to search over all matrices in a matrix codebook in order to identify a particular precoding matrix that increases a capacity of the wireless network channel, and transmitting across the wireless network channel a matrix index that corresponds to the particular precoding matrix. Additional techniques for identifying precoding matrices are also described herein, as is a method of approximating a capacity of a wireless network channel in a wireless network.
Abstract:
A method for detecting a preamble location in a multiple preamble OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) system is disclosed. An OFDM signal is generated with a plurality of frames, and each of the frames includes symbols and a predetermined preamble symbol. A maximum FDDC (Frequency Domain Differential Correlator) value is computed for each of the symbols in some of the frames. The preamble location in a frame is determined by summing the maximum FDDC value for each symbol at a same frame location in consecutive frames of the OFDM signal.
Abstract:
Disclosed is an improved channel estimation by post-processing of the channel response that is generated by a Golay correlator The processing is done using time-domain operations such as gating and filtering. Gating is performed on the estimated channel response taps in order to reduce the noise level. Pre-filtering the channel response through a filter matched to the transmitted pulse-shape improves the probability of detecting the channel peaks. Post-filtering the processed channel impulse response to eliminate the high frequency effects that are added by the windowing and gating operations.
Abstract:
Methods, systems and apparatus for estimating statistical properties of noise in modulated data carrier signals represented by modulated data symbols are disclosed. The method comprises generating an instantaneous estimate of the statistical property of noise from the received modulated data symbols on a sample by sample basis and applying a compensation function to the instantaneous estimate. The method further comprises averaging an output of the compensation function to determine the estimated statistical property of noise.
Abstract:
A single format of MAC control message may be used for the addition, deletion, or rearrangement of users in a group within a wireless network. In some cases, a change in the nature of the group may be implemented immediately upon receipt of a positive acknowledgement. A mobile station may determine its ACID without maintaining information about the previous ACID or startup frame.
Abstract:
An embodiment of the present invention provides an apparatus that may include a transceiver operable to communicate with a receiver in a wireless network and adapted to select an optimal mode for transmissions, wherein the receiver estimates the optimal mode and feeds it back to the transceiver which changes a transmitted mode accordingly and wherein the optimal mode is based on a predetermined metric based on a performance equation that puts a threshold to separate between a high correlated signal to low correlation signal.

Embodiments of the present invention provide a method, apparatus and system of decoding spatially multiplexed signals. In some demonstrative embodiments the method may include, for example, determining one or more hypothetical values of a transmitted signal of a set of transmitted signals based on one or more respective sets of hypothetical values assigned to a subset of the set of transmitted signals. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
Abstract:
A method for detectable a pre-amble location in a multiple preamble OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) system is disclosed. An OFDM signal is generated with a plurality of frames, and each of the frames includes symbols and a predetermined preamble symbol. A maximum FDDC (Frequency Domain Differential Correlator) value is computed for each of the symbols in some of the frames. The pre-amble location in a frame is determined by summing the maximum FDDC value for each symbol at a same frame location in consecutive frames of the OFDM signal.
