Abstract:
In a method for performing successive interference cancellation (SIC) in a multiple input, multiple output (MIMO) communication channel, a plurality of received signals are processed to decode a first codeword. An equalizer is generated corresponding to a second codeword and applied to the plurality of received signals to generate an equalized signal. An interference signal is also generated using the first codeword and then subtracted from the equalized signal. The equalized signal is processed to decode the second codeword.
Abstract:
Systems and methods are provided for processing a signal using simplified channel statistics. In an example implementation, a channel profile for a multipath channel is estimated by detecting, within a given range, a number of channel taps associated with a channel impulse response, and assigning each of those channel taps a uniform amplitude value corresponding to a constant signal strength. A signal may be received through the multipath channel and filtered based on the estimated channel profile.
Abstract:
In various embodiments, the present disclosure provides transmitters, receivers, and methods of determining channel state information for a maximum likelihood (ML) multiple input multiple output (MIMO) receiver, as well as transmitting and demodulating signals based on the determined channel state information. A ML MIMO receiver receives a first MIMO signal from a MIMO transmitter. Channel characteristics of the first MIMO signal are determined based on decision feedback equalization (DFE) processing. The DFE-determined channel characteristics, or information derived from the DFE-determined channel characteristics, are reported to the MIMO transmitter and the MIMO ML receiver decodes a second MIMO signal based on ML processing. The second MIMO signal is modulated and encoded by the MIMO transmitter according to a modulation and coding scheme in accordance with (1) the DFE-determined channel characteristics or (2) the information derived from the DFE-determined channel characteristics.
