摘要:
A base station transmits to a number of relay stations in a wireless network using a beamforming matrix. The beamforming matrix is generated by first obtaining a column vector from a beamforming matrix associated with each of the relay stations. An intermediate matrix is then generated using these column vectors. A zero-forcing procedure is then utilized to process the intermediate network to generate the final beamforming matrix.

Adaptive channelization is achieved in a high throughput multicarrier system by first subdividing a high throughput channel into a number of frequency sub-channels. A channelization decision may then be made within a device as to which of the sub-channels to use for a corresponding high throughput wireless link based on channel state information.

A reconfigurable multichannel receiver may selectively operate in increased throughput modes and/or increased range modes. In some embodiments, the receiver may select two or more antennas from a plurality of spatially diverse antennas to receive more than one subchannel of a wideband orthogonal frequency division multiplexed (OFDM) channel. Maximum-ratio combining may be performed on corresponding symbol-modulated subcarriers from the two or more antennas, and a single OFDM symbol may be generated from contributions from the subchannels received by the two or more antennas. In other embodiments, more than one subchannel of a wideband OFDM channel may be received through a single antenna selected from a plurality of spatially diverse antennas. In other embodiments, a single subchannel may be received by a plurality of spatially diverse antennas and maximum-ratio combining may be performed on corresponding symbol-modulated subcarriers received by the antennas.

摘要:
A frame format provides for wideband wireless local area network communications and informs narrower-band communication units when the channels are occupied by wider-band communication units. In some embodiments, the frame format includes a channelization field identifying channels that are used for communicating subsequent wideband fields of a packet, and a wideband-header field communicated on the identified channels. The wideband-header field may identify sub-fields that may be present in the wideband-header field, and may identify the presence of a wideband-data field. A long-compatibility field may be present that provides protection at the MAC level. The long-compatibility field may transport MAC frames that may include medium-reservation information compatible with narrower-band communication units.
