    摘要: A method and apparatus of selecting a number of uplink sounding sub-carriers are disclosed. One method includes estimating an uplink channel of between a base station and a subscriber. A time domain channel response is determined from the estimated uplink channel. A sub-carrier distribution of uplink sounding sub-carriers is selected based on characteristics of the time domain channel response, wherein the distribution defines a spacing of pilot sub-carriers within the uplink sounding symbol. The subscriber transmits uplink sounding symbols having the selected sub-carrier distribution.

    摘要: Embodiments described herein include methods for improving the SINR, and therefore communication quality or rate, in the downlink of a cellular communication system. In an embodiment, the system is an orthogonal-frequency-division multiple-access (OFDMA) system. In an embodiment, a set of terminals is designated a coordinated-transmission group. The set of terminal is chosen such that the slot-allocations of the set are given special treatment to alleviate interference from other sectors or cells. In an embodiment, “zones” defined in the WiMax standard are “repurposed” to handle the coordinated-transmission, although the zone was originally intended for another purpose.

    摘要: Communication systems and methods are described in which multiple transmit signals are generated from an input stream or signal. The communication systems and methods, collectively referred to as antenna virtualization or virtual antenna systems, generate from each input stream multiple transmit signals that when driven into multiple antennas create a radiation pattern that effectively appears to originate from a single antenna. The communications operations include receiving at least one input stream. Multiple transmit signals are generated from the received input stream; the number of transmit signals generated is greater than the number of received input streams. Generation of the transmit signals involves transforming the input stream. The transforming includes applying one or more of a variable delay, a phase shift, and signal shaping to information of the input stream. The transmit signals are transmitted by a separate antenna of an antenna system.

    摘要: Techniques for location-assisted wireless communication use real-time location(s) of wireless transceiver(s) together with stored location-indexed channel information to improve communication over a wireless channel between the transceiver(s). The stored channel information includes channel characteristics (e.g., average power, angle-of-arrival, and time delay of multipath components) that are substantially constant in time but vary gradually as a function of location. Current transceiver location(s) are obtained and used to retrieve stored channel characteristics corresponding to the location(s). The channel information may be used at either or both transceiver(s) to improve reception and/or transmission of signals propagating over the wireless channel. For example, reception may be improved by using path angle information to perform spatially structured reception, or using path delay information to perform temporally structured reception, e.g., to assign fingers to multipath components in a RAKE receiver and/or to track time delays of multipath components.
