    摘要: In a beamforming system, each User Equipment (UE) transmits an uplink probe. Each Base Station (BS) carries out a spatial search of the uplink probes, estimates an Angle of Arrival (AoA) of the uplink probe received from each UE, and estimates the uplink channel frequency response on an uplink dedicated beam formed toward the UE's AoA. The BS transmits a reference signal to each UE on a downlink dedicated beam formed toward the UE's AoA, from which the UE estimates the downlink frequency response. The UE forms channel impulse response matrices for the uplink and the downlink, using the estimated uplink and downlink channel frequency responses. The BS uses the channel impulse response matrices to form downlink and uplink dedicated beams that put boresight of the beams toward the AoA of one UE and put nulls toward the AoAs of the other UEs.

    摘要: In idle mode, User Equipment (UE) measures the changes in the UE's orientation and position location coordinates using sensors such as accelerometers, gyroscopes, and magnetometers. UE computes a metric of the changes in the UE's orientation and position location, and triggers a beam update process if the magnitude of the metric is above a threshold. UE begins the beam update process by sending a message to the Base Station (BS) with which it is communicating. BS estimates the Angle of Arrival (AoA) of the received message, forms a dedicated downlink beam toward the UE at the estimated AoA, and sends an acknowledgement on the dedicated downlink beam. The UE carries out a spatial search of the received acknowledgement, estimates the UE beam angular pointing position on which the highest signal quality is received, and points its beam toward the BS at the estimated UE beam angular pointing position.

    摘要: The present disclosure describes the system and methods for providing broadband internet access to homes and enterprises using a network of drones/UAVs. The drone communication system is composed of an antenna sub-system, a radio sub-system and a data switching sub-system. Drones form and point beams toward ground terminals in different areas in a space division multiple access scheme. Ground terminals are composed of an antenna sub-system and a radio sub-system. Ground terminals search for the drone from which they receive the strongest signals. Drone and ground terminals comprise of methods and systems to calibrate receive and transmit antenna elements. Drone radio sub-system keeps track of the drone's position and orientation changes and adjust drone's antenna beam accordingly to point to the same location on the ground as the drone moves. Depending on the changes in drone's position and orientation, the drone radio sub-system may switch the antenna aperture and/or the antenna fixture that is used to form a beam toward a specific ground terminal. Drones communicate with the terminals using a space and time division multiple

    摘要: Techniques to determine the rate for a data transmission in an OFDM system. The maximum data rate that may be reliably transmitted over a given multipath (non-flat) channel by the OFDM system is determined based on a metric for an equivalent (flat) channel. For the given multipath channel and a particular rate (which may be indicative of a particular data rate, modulation scheme, and coding rate), the metric is initially derived from an equivalent data rate and the particular modulation scheme. A threshold SNR needed to reliably transmit the particular data rate using the particular modulation scheme and coding rate is then determined. The particular rate is deemed as being supported by the multipath channel if the metric is greater than or equal to the threshold SNR. Incremental transmission is used to account for errors in the determined data rate.

    摘要: A novel MAC algorithm is disclosed having various features for a modern CDMA interference-shared reverse link, including (a) link quality assurance, (b) individual congestion control, (c) variable data rate transition policy, and/or (d) reverse link partitioning. Link quality assurance is provided by monitoring transmission feedback information (ACK/NACK) to indirectly determine the quality of a communication link. Wireless devices are individually targeted to perform congestion control of the reverse link. Variable data transmission rates and discontinuous transmissions are achieved by individual wireless devices that autonomously adjust their transmission rate and transmit power. The reverse link can also be partitioned among the different wireless devices by individually controlling the transmit power of the wireless devices operating on the reverse link.
