摘要:
Block-encoded transmissions of a multi-antenna terminal unit are effectively detected in the presence of co-channel interfering transmissions from other multi-antenna terminal units, when the base station has a plurality of antennas, and interference cancellation is combined with maximum likelihood decoding. The signals received in one base station antenna are employed in processing the signals received in a second base station antenna so as to cancel the signals of one terminal unit, while decoding the signals transmitted by the other terminal unit. Zero-forcing and MMSE approaches are presented. In another embodiment of this invention the basic decoding approach is used to obtain an initial estimate for the symbols from each terminal. Assuming that the signals of the first terminal unit has been decoded correctly, the receiver employs this initial decoded signal of the first terminal unit to cancel their contribution to the signals received at the base station antennas while decoding the signals of the second terminal unit. This process is then repeated assuming that the signals of the second terminal unit has been decoded correctly, the receiver employs this initial decoded signal of the second terminal unit to cancel their contribution to the signals received at the base station antennas while decoding the signals of the first terminal unit. The above disclosed techniques are viable for any number K of terminal units concurrently transmitting over a given channel, where each terminal unit is using a space-time block code with N transmit antennas, and a base station has at least K receive antennas.

摘要:
Block-encoded transmissions of a multi-antenna terminal unit are effectively detected in the presence of co-channel interfering transmissions when the base station has a plurality of antennas, and interference cancellation is combined with maximum likelihood decoding. More specifically, the signals received at the base station antennas are combined in a linear combination that relates to the channel coefficients between the various transmitting terminal units and the base antennas. By selecting proper coefficients for the linear combination and choosing probable transmitted signals that minimize a minimum mean squared error function, the signals of the various terminal units are canceled when detecting the signal of a particular unit. In another embodiment of the invention, the basic approach is used to obtain an initial estimate of the signals transmitted by one terminal unit, and the contribution of those signals is removed from the received signals prior to detecting the signals of other terminal units.
摘要:
Certain embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method for switching radio frequency (RF) carriers that serve communication between a base station (BS) and a mobile station (MS). The switching of carriers can be viewed as a handoff procedure between two different RF carriers within the same BS. A simplified handoff procedure for switching of RF carriers can be applied when the MS switches its physical connection from a primary RF carrier to a secondary RF carrier, as well as in the case when the BS decides to move the MS from one primary RF carrier to another primary RF carrier.
摘要:
Information symbols are transmitted simultaneously on independent streams using the same spreading code but from different transmit antennas at the transmitter. These simultaneous data stream could be intended for the same user (and thereby the data rate for any particular user can be increased) or for different users (thereby increasing the system capacity). Each stream of data can belong to a different signal constellation and use a different channel code. At the receiver, a number of receive antennas equal to at least the number of multiple data streams is used to separate the different data streams. We consider two different cases. The first one when no transmit diversity is used (this case can also include the case when transmit diversity with simple antenna weighting is used) and the second when transmit diversity with space-time block coding is used.

The prior art teachings for encoding signals and transmitting them over a plurality of antennas are advanced by disclosing a method for encoding for any number of transmitting antennas. Also disclosed is a generalized approach for maximum likelihood decoding where a decision rule is formed for all of the transmitting antennas of a transmitter, and a decision is made in favor of the transmitted symbols the minimize the equation c i = arg min c &LeftBracketingBar; R i - c &RightBracketingBar; 2 + ( - 1 + ∑ &LeftBracketingBar; h i , j &RightBracketingBar; 2 ) &LeftBracketingBar; c &RightBracketingBar; 2 where R i = ∑ t = 1 n ∑ j = 1 m r t j h ϵ t ( i ) j * δ t ( i ) rtj is the signal received at time interval t, at receiving antenna j, h*&egr;t(i)j is the complex conjugate of the channel transfer function between the transmitter antenna that is transmitting symbol ci and receiving antenna j, and &dgr;t(i) is the sign of symbol ci in time interval t.
