摘要:
A method and apparatus for mitigating co-channel and inter-channel interference in an antenna array system. According to one aspect, the channel-select filter of a base station or other communication device is modified to detect inter-channel interference on at least one non-primary channel when the transmitter is communicating with a remote user terminal on a primary channel. The spatial characteristic of the interference is determined and used to obtain a weight that mitigates the inter-channel interference. According to another aspect, the spatial characteristic of co-channel and/or inter-channel ghost signal interference caused by a transmitter is determined and used to mitigate the effects of such interference.

A system and related methods for introducing intra-channel spatial diversity within a multi-carrier wideband communication channel is presented. In accordance with one aspect of the present invention, developed more fully below, a method is presented comprising receiving information for transmission to a receiver, and generating a plurality of sub-carriers to redundantly transmit the information to a user over a multi-carrier wireless communication channel, wherein each of the sub-carriers is dynamically modified by a set of complex weights to ensure that each of the sub-carriers of the wireless communication channel propagates along a different physical path to the receiver.

An embodiment of the invention provides a method for effecting switchback on a spatial division multiple access (SDMA) PHS channel. A communication signal is broadcast over each of one or more SDMA channels of a multi-access channel to one or more corresponding user terminals. A set of transmit spatial weights is determined for a synchronization burst to a user terminal attempting to reestablish communication over an SDMA channel of the multi-access channel. The set of transmit spatial weights is determined such that interference caused by one or more communication signals to the synchronization burst is reduced.

Spatial and temporal characteristics of received radio signals in a multiple user radio system can be estimated based on signals received from the users. In one embodiment, the invention includes measuring radio frequency signals received at different elements of an antenna system over time, the received signals corresponding at least in part to transmissions received from a system user, accumulating the signal measurements into a first matrix, generating a second matrix representing the transmissions of the system user, cross-correlating the first and second matrices to form a third matrix, and multiplying the third matrix with a product of the second matrix to form a fourth matrix in which the elements of the fourth matrix characterize the radio channel traversed by transmissions of the system user.

A method and system for providing selective interference mitigation (or nulling) in an adaptive array system. A communication device, typically employing an adaptive array, determines an indication of signal reception quality for a first remote user terminal in communication with the communication device. The communication device provides a first mode of operation wherein a first amount of nulling with respect to at least one interfering source is generated by the communication device. In addition, the communication device provides a second mode of operation characterized by generating a second amount of nulling with respect to the at least one interfering source, wherein the second amount of nulling is relatively greater than the first amount of nulling. Based on the relative signal reception quality indication, the communication device selects one of the first and second modes of operation.

Channels are assigned based on co-spatial constraints in wireless network using spatial division multiple access. In one example, the invention includes assigning a co-spatial constraint to each of a plurality of conventional traffic communications channels of a base station, and receiving a request from a user terminal to communicate using a traffic communication channel of the base station. The invention further includes measuring a quality parameter of the request deriving a co-spatial constraint for the user terminal, assigning the user terminal co-spatial constraint to the user terminal, and assigning the user terminal to a traffic communication channels having a channel co-spatial constraint that is no less than the user terminal co-spatial constraint and that has no more assigned radios than permitted by the channel co-spatial constraint.

Spatial and temporal characteristics of received radio signals in a multiple user radio system can be estimated based on signals received from the users. In one embodiment, the invention includes collecting measurements of radio frequency signals received at different elements of an antenna system over time, the received signals corresponding at least in part to transmissions received from a system user, collecting representations of the transmissions of the system user, and comparing the representations to the collected measurements to form a spatial characterization of the radio channel traversed by transmissions of the system user in which the elements of the spatial characterization represent forming a beam in the direction of the system user and directing nulls to interferers.
