摘要:
A method and apparatus for performing spatial-division multiple access within a communication system is provided herein. During operation, nodes will return null subspace information along with their channel subspace information. The null subspace is similar to the channel subspace except that the null subspace information directs a base station to the matrix in a predefined codebook that results in minimum power being received at the node. The null subspace for each node is taken into consideration when communicating with a particular node.

A base station and method for selecting a modulation coding scheme (MCS) in an OFDM communication system, includes a first step 500 of estimating the channel response on each antenna based on the uplink feedback. A next step 502 includes calculating transmit weights from the uplink feedback. A next step 504 includes computing a beamformed Carrier-to-Interference plus Noise Ratio based on a broadcast Carrier-to-Interference plus Noise Ratio and the transmit weights and the channel response. A next step 506 includes choosing a best modulation coding scheme for a beamform allocation using the beamformed CINR. A best antenna gain and frequency band can also be chosen using the beamformed CINR.
摘要:
Specifically, a method and system that performs MIMO and beamforming at a base station based on an uplink channel sounding (ULCS) from only one of the mobile station antennas and closed-loop multiple input, multiple output (MIMO) schemes based on the singular value decomposition (SVD) of the channel matrix. The ULCS is limited to sounding and the channel uses fewer than an optimal number of transmit antennas (e.g. one for WiMAX). The base station arrays may be configured for a full array transmitting mode or a sub-array transmitting mode.

An orthogonal frequency division multiplexing wireless communication terminal, that communicates with a base unit, obtains a set of analog coefficients by transforming a transmit spatial covariance matrix, modulates the set of analog coefficients onto multiple channels to form a feedback waveform, and transmits the feedback waveform to the base unit.
摘要:
Mobile units in a multicarrier, multidimensional communications system can assess their own channel coherence time attributes (base stations can also access such dynamics for mobile units as well). This information is utilized (either by the mobile unit itself or by an infrastructure component such as a base site) to determine a level of trustworthiness for other channel quality data as might be measured by the mobile unit. Different modulation and coding schemes, along with responsive frequency and time diversity resource allocations, are adaptively selected as a function of this level of trustworthiness.

A method for communicating a plurality of data streams between a transmitting device with multiple transmit antennas and a receiving device, is disclosed. The method comprises determining a set of power weightings, efficiently quantizing the power weightings, and providing the set of power weightings the transmitting device. Another aspect of the invention comprises the transmitter implicitly signaling the number of data streams which the receiver should feedback information for through the amount of feedback requested. An additional aspect of the invention is a means of determining the best codebook weights by combining the maximum power and maximum capacity criteria.
摘要:
A wireless communication terminal including a controller coupled to a transceiver, configured to receive a first and second control messages on an anchor carrier is disclosed. The first control message includes a resource assignment for the anchor carrier and the second control message is associated with a set of component carriers that are distinct from the anchor carrier. The controller determines a resource assignment for at least one component carrier in the set of component carriers using both the first and the second control messages.
摘要:
A wireless communication user terminal obtains uplink access configuration information on a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) addressed to a plurality of user terminals by processing the PDCCH based on a first system information received from a base station on a physical broadcast channel (PBCH) and based on synchronization information. The terminal sends a signature waveform based on the uplink access configuration information, prior to receiving system information in addition to the first system information, whereby the signature waveform enables the base station to transition from a relatively low power operating mode to a relatively high power operating mode.
摘要:
A wireless communication device receives at least a section of a subframe from a base station in a wireless communication system. The subframe includes transmission resources multiplexed onto subcarriers of orthogonal frequency division multiplexed (OFDM) symbols. A first set of OFDM symbols includes a reference signal and at least a second set of OFDM symbols includes information other than the reference signal (e.g., channel-coded data). The wireless device determines which OFDM symbols of the subframe constitute the first set of OFDM symbols based on an identifier associated with a base station that transmitted the subframe. The wireless device may then process the reference signal from the OFDM symbols that are determined to be the first set of OFDM symbols. The wireless device may also determine which OFDM symbols of the subframe constitute the second set of OFDM symbols and process non-reference signal information from OFDM symbols of the second set.
摘要:
A wireless communication terminal including a transceiver coupled to a processor and corresponding methods are disclosed. The processor is configured to determine resource elements that carry data intended for the terminal from a set of allocated resource elements that carry data intended for the terminal excluding at least resource elements associated with a first set of one or more resource elements of a particular type that are shifted relative to a known reference signal pattern. The processor is also configured to decode the resource elements that carry the data intended for the terminal based on the resource elements that carry the data intended for the terminal.
