摘要:
In a duplex link (40, 60, 90, 116) coupling first and second frequency hopping wireless communication devices, either or both of the frequency hopping patterns that are respectively used in the downlink and the uplink can be selectively and dynamically extended. Extension of the frequency hopping pattern associated with the uplink (55, 74) can compensate for a power imbalance between the uplink and the downlink by improving the gain of the uplink. By extending the frequency hopping pattern associated with the downlink (106, 129), strong interfering frequencies that would otherwise interfere with many downlink frequencies can be avoided.
摘要:
The frequency hopping pattern of a first wireless communication device is modified such that each transmission (73) to a second wireless communication device is on a frequency (MSj+1) that the second device's normal frequency hopping pattern specifies for one of the second device's next several transmissions to the first device. This permits the second device to make quality measurements (54) on a frequency that the second device will soon use (51) for transmission to the first device.
摘要:
In wireless communications between first and second frequency hopping wireless communication devices, both devices can dwell on a single selected frequency (f11) for selected types of data transmissions such as large data bursts and data requiring an enhanced quality of service. For a large data burst, the data transmission rate can also be increased (DH5) during the duration (Ti) of the frequency dwelling, thereby reducing the transmission time of the burst. In addition, the combination of frequency dwelling with an increased data transmission rate can advantageously be used to free time slots in a wireless communication link between the devices, which freed time slots would not otherwise be available.

摘要:
A method (70) of operating a wireless receiver (UST). The method receives a wireless communicated signal, wherein the signal comprises asymmetrically spaced synchronization channel components. The method also defines (72) a set of signals from the communicated signal, wherein the set spans a number of equal duration time slots and comprises at least a first synchronization channel component and a second synchronization channel component. The method also forms (76) a first signal combination by combining a first portion of the set of signals with a second portion of the set of signals, and it forms (78) a second signal combination by combining a third portion of the set of signals with a fourth portion of the set of signals. Finally, the method detects (80, 82, 84) a location of the first synchronization channel component and a location of the second synchronization channel component in response to at least one of the first and second signal combinations.

摘要:
A station capable of receiving information containing Walsh coding for a plurality of channels and canceling interference from the received information and the method of cancellation. A memory is provided for storing received signals containing a Walsh code for each of a plurality of channels as well as reflected and/or refracted versions of said received signals and a first plurality of signal paths is provided which are selectively coupled to the memory. The signal paths apply corresponding delays and inverse Walsh code transformations to separate the channels. Further, cancellation of the channels interfering with a desired channel proceeds with complementary delays and Walsh code transformation to regenerate the interference which is subtracted from the received signal in memory.

The present invention provides a receiver. In one embodiment, the receiver includes a receive portion employing transmission signals from a transmitter having multiple antennas and capable of providing channel estimates. The receiver also includes a feedback generator portion configured to provide to the transmitter a pre-coder selection for data transmission that is based on the channel estimates, wherein the pre-coder selection corresponds to a grouping of frequency-domain resource blocks. The present invention also provides a transmitter having multiple antennas. In one embodiment, the transmitter includes a transmit portion coupled to the multiple antennas and capable of applying pre-coding to a data transmission for a receiver. The transmitter also includes a feedback decoding portion configured to decode a pre-coder selection for the data transmission that is fed back from the receiver, wherein the pre-coder selection corresponds to a grouping of frequency-domain resource blocks.
摘要:
Systems and methods for enhanced carrier sense multiple access (CSMA) protocols are described. In various implementations, these systems and methods may be applicable to Power Line Communications (PLC). For example, a method may include attempting to access a communications channel to transmit a frame after a backoff time proportional to a randomly generated number within a contention window (CW), the CW having an initial value carried over from a previous transmission of a different frame. Additionally or alternatively, some of techniques described herein may facilitate the spreading of the time over which devices attempt to transmit packets, thereby reducing the probability of collisions using, for example, Additive Decrease Multiplicative Increase (ADMI) mechanisms.

A method of power line communications includes obtaining timing information for an AC mains signal transmitted on a power line in a power line communication (PLC) system that includes at least one receiver and at least one other device connected on the power line which provides variable loading during cycles of the AC mains signal. A first loading interval within at least a first cycle of the cycles having lower loading and at least a second loading interval within said first cycle having higher loading are identified using the timing information. At least one data packet is transmitted only during the first loading interval over the power line to the receiver.
