Disclosed is a minimum mean square error (MMSE) equalizer and method for single-user detection of a signal received from a downlink code-division multiple access CDMA channel. The equalizer includes a Kalman filter having an input coupled to the received signal for generating a best linear unbiased estimate of a transmitted chip sequence for a single user. A reduced computational complexity Kalman filter embodiment is also disclosed that only periodically updates a Kalman filter prediction error covariance matrix P(k|k−1), a Kalman filter filtering error covariance matrix P(k|k) and the Kalman gain K(k).
摘要:
A method for scheduling weighted transmissions from two or more transmit antennas of a base station to each of two or more mobile stations in a closed-loop transmit diversity system, whereby the quantity of power available for data transmission from each transmit antenna is determined and, with respect to each antenna, the power required to transmit data to each mobile station is determined. The number of mobile stations that may be served simultaneously by a base station is determined and, for each combination of respective mobile stations constituting the number of mobile stations that may be served simultaneously, the transmission of data from each transmit antenna to the mobile stations is scheduled to minimize unused power.
摘要:
Apparatus, and an associated method, for facilitating selection of optimal antenna weightings by which to weight signals sent in a communication system that utilizes closed-loop transmit diversity. A deterministic perturbation gradient approximation technique is utilized in which perturbation vectors are selected by a selector and applied, by an applicator, to antenna weighting elements. A selected set of perturbation vectors are applied to the antenna weighting elements in both a positive direction and a negative direction. A detector at a receiving station measures in disassociated with the signals communicated thereto, once weighted with the perturbation vectors. A single-bit feedback value is returned to the sending station, and the antenna weightings are appropriately adjusted.

Disclosed is a method to operate a wireless MIMO communication system, where the method includes, for N symbols of a frame of information to be transmitted through a plurality of eigen sub-channels, allocating N1, symbols to a stronger eigen sub-channel and N2 symbols to a weaker eigen sub-channel, where N1, >N2; determining a probability of reception error when transmitting the N2 symbols through the weaker eigen sub-channel for an auxiliary signal-to-noise ratio; solving for a quality of service QoS of the weaker eigen sub-channel and if the QoS is less than a desired QoS, decreasing the value of N and repeating allocating symbols, determining the probability of reception error and solving for the QoS. The symbols may be systematic symbols output from a turbo coder, and thus replicate the original source bits. In another aspect this invention provides a method to operate a wireless MIMO communication system that includes asymmetrically allocating spreading codes to a stronger eigen sub-channel and to a weaker eigen sub-channel such that the stronger eigen sub-channel is allocated more spreading codes than the weaker eigen sub-channel; and transmitting all systematic bits of turbo coded information over the stronger eigen sub-channel.
摘要:
Apparatus, and an associated method, for compensating for the effects of fading, or other distortion, in an MIMO communication system. Analysis is made at a receiving station, such as through channel estimation by a channel estimator, of communication conditions on different sub-channels, defined by different communication paths upon which data streams are communicated to the receiving station from different transmit antenna transducers. Power controllers generate power change requests responsive to the channel estimations. The power change requests are returned to a sending station by way of a feedback channel. And, the power levels at which data is transmitted from different transmit antennas is correspondingly changed.
摘要:
Apparatus, and an associated method, for facilitating communication of encoded data, formed of a systematic part and a non-systematic part, in a radio communication system. Systematic parts of the encoded data are assigned by an assignor to transmit antennas that are associated with communication channels exhibiting better, or best, communication quality levels. Determinations are made of communication conditions to rank the transmit antennas, thereby permit appropriate assignments of the encoded data to transmit antennas. Feedback is provided by the receiver that receives the transmitted data. The feedback information includes, or is formed responsive to, detections and other measurements at the receivers.

In addition to other aspects disclosed, a portable base station requests a mobile handset to measure signal strengths associated with a portion of a code space. The portable base station also sends a message that represents the signal strength measurements to a remotely located control station.
