Apparatus and method for cooperatively positioning a mobile wireless device. In one embodiment a mobile wireless device includes a navigation satellite receiver, a WLAN transceiver, and a cooperative positioning system. The navigation satellite receiver is configured to receive positioning signals from positioning satellites. The cooperative positioning system is configured to receive positioning measurements from a cooperating mobile wireless device via the WLAN transceiver. The received positioning measurements are derived from satellite positioning signals received by the cooperating mobile wireless device. The cooperative positioning system is also configured to determine a position of the mobile wireless device based on the positioning measurements received from the cooperating mobile wireless device, positioning measurements provided by the navigation satellite receiver, and a focal measurement that is a function of at least one of the position and the clock bias of both the mobile wireless device and the cooperating mobile wireless device.

Embodiments provide a transform-based method for representing steering matrices in transmit beamforming for a multiple-input multiple-output orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (MIMO-OFDM) system. Beamforming embodiments generate a transform-based representation of steering matrices for at least a subset of sub-carriers for which channel information is known. In some embodiments, a beamformer is able to receive transform matrices information for at least a subset of channel sub-carriers, and generate corresponding channel sub-carrier steering matrices. Some embodiments of a beamformee are able to map at least a subset of channel sub-carrier steering matrices to corresponding transform matrices information prior to transmitting the transform matrix information to a beamformer. Other embodiments of a beamformer are able to receive channel information for at least a subset of sub-carriers of a channel, and compute a transform-based representation of a steering matrix for each sub-carrier for which channel information is known.
摘要:
A system and method for controlling a navigation receiver is disclosed. A current position is determined using the navigation receiver and then the navigation receiver is placed in a power-save mode. The current position is updated using information from position sensors. The navigation receiver is temporarily placed in an active mode at intervals to determine an intermediate position. The current position is also updated using the intermediate position. The navigation receiver may be a GNSS receiver, a cellular receiver, a WiFi receiver, or another position-fixing device. The position sensors may be accelerometers, gyroscopes, electronic compasses or mapping data. A power-save controller controls the power-save or active mode of the navigation receiver. A sensor conditioning circuit pre-processes the data from the position sensors before providing the data to the power-save controller. During the power-save mode, an RF subsystem and/or a baseband subsystem of the navigation receiver may be turned off.

A coordinated multipoint transmitter is for use with a multiple antenna super-cell and includes primary and secondary base stations jointly connected via an X2 interface link, wherein the primary base station provides a transmission directive corresponding to an X2 interface protocol over the X2 interface link to the secondary base station for a joint transmission from the primary and secondary base stations.
