    摘要: A communication system for transmitting encoded signals over a communication channel is disclosed. The system includes a transmitter, which has a source that is configured to output a message signal, and an encoder that is configured to generate a code word in response to the message signal. The code word has a construction that is based upon a single dimensional binary code and that specifies a space-time overlay having a predetermined constraint. The transmitter also includes a modulator that is configured to modulate the code word for transmission over the communication channel. Further, the transmitter includes multiple transmit antennas that are configured to transmit the modulated code word over the communication channel. The system also includes a receiver, which may include multiple receive antennas. The receiver is configured to receive the transmitted code word via the multiple receive antennas.

    摘要: A threaded space-time (TST) architecture in a multiple antenna wireless communication system uses the coded transmission in each layer of a transmission resource array as a space-time code. Each layer of a layer set is active during all available symbol transmission intervals, and each of the transmit antennas are used equally often, such that layers each transmit a symbol using a different antenna during each symbol transmission interval. A receiver is provided for multi-user reception using an iterative, soft-input/soft-output (SISO) multi-user detection algorithm based on minimum mean square error (MMSE) criterion, among other methods.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for determining if useful auxiliary information in an auxiliary time slot is available for subscriber unit use. The present invention includes a receiver that receives data from both an auxiliary time slot and a dedicated time slot. Data from the receiver is coupled to a computation function that calculates a metric comparing the data from the auxiliary time slot and the dedicated time slot. The calculated metric is coupled to a threshold comparator that compares the calculated metric to a threshold. Based on the results of the comparison, a determination is made on the presence or absence of useful auxiliary data in an auxiliary time slot.

    摘要: A burst classifier is useful in a digital communication system transmitting a signal burst of a plurality of different burst types. The burst classifier includes a plurality of filters associated with the plurality of different burst types, respectively. Each filter generates correlation data based on the signal burst and a respective plurality of reference signals offset by a plurality of time offsets. The respective pluralities of reference signals are indicative of a corresponding burst type of the plurality of different burst types. A comparator then analyzes quantities based on the correlation data from each filter to determine the burst type of the signal burst.

    摘要: Systems and methods implementing a protocol that provides reliable transport over a point-to-point link characterized by deep and sustained fades. Such a communications link may be a free space optical channel or may be a radio frequency point-to-point channel. Data frames are processed through a circular data buffer that operates in a round robin fashion at a transmission node. The coding and forward error correction processes allow for continued operation in spite of possible signal fades due to atmospheric turbulence or other causes. At a receive node, incoming data is also saved in a circular buffer. A re-acknowledgment list is maintained at the receive node for tracking recently received and decoded data. This allows for a new acknowledgment to be sent in the event that a previously sent acknowledgment failed to reach the transmission node.

    摘要: The present invention includes a system and method by which a network of directional, wireless nodes that are not fixed in space can be optimized by optimizing each node individually. The network does not have a central control node, so each node is responsible for optimizing its surrounding topology. This is accomplished by synthesizing incoming information from neighboring nodes and determining which nodes will provide the best connections based on specific utilities each node is attempting to optimize. Neighboring nodes then exchange messages to request, accept, or reject directional connections between them based on their preferred optimizations. The overall directional network topology is achieved by consensus driven by local preferences.
