    摘要: A UE in a wireless communication network transmits succinct, direct channel state information to the network, enabling coordinated multipoint calculations such as joint processing, without substantially increasing uplink overhead. The UE receives and processes reference symbols over a set of non-uniformly spaced sub-carriers, selected according to a scheme synchronized to the network. The frequency response for each selected sub-carrier is estimated conventionally, and the results quantized and transmitted to the network on an uplink control channel. The non-uniform sub-carrier selection may be synchronized to the network in a variety of ways.

    摘要: A radio communication sent by a transmitter having M transmit antennas is received by a receiver having N receive antennas, where M is a positive integer greater than or equal to one and N is positive integer greater than one. Thus, N output signals, one for each receive antenna, are received. The signal transmitted from each transmit antenna includes predetermined pilot symbols known by the receiver and information symbols to be determined by the receiver. Weights for estimating each of M×N single-input/single-output channels between transmit and receive antennas are determined based on jointly processing pilot symbols received on all of the N receive antennas. The M×N channels are estimated based on the determined weights, and those estimated channels are used to determine the information symbols. An iterative procedure is used to estimate the M×N channels using a noise correlation matrix estimate and to estimate the noise correlation matrix using the M×N channel estimates.

    摘要: According to one or more method and apparatus embodiments taught herein, network base stations reduce temporal variations in the interference perceived by mobile stations operating within the network by slowing down the rate at which they change or otherwise update the linear precoding settings applied to their transmitted Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplex (OFDM) signals in comparison to the rate at which the base stations perform link adaptation. That is, the precoding-related component of measured interference (e.g., other-cell interference) at the mobile stations is made quasi-stationary with respect to channel quality reporting and link adaptation intervals by fixing the preceding settings used by each base station over time intervals substantially longer than the channel reporting/link adaptation intervals.

    摘要: Pre-coder techniques disclosed herein are based on long-term statistical channel information for reducing channel feedback overhead and transmitter complexity. In an embodiment, a receiver includes two or more receive antennas spaced approximately λ/2 apart and a baseband processor. The baseband processor computes channel correlations for different combinations of transmit antennas and each receive antenna and averages the channel correlations over the different receive antennas to form a frequency-independent channel correlation matrix. The baseband processor also computes a scalar representing noise variance at the receive antennas and feeds back the frequency-independent channel correlation matrix and the scalar for use in performing transmitter pre-coding computations.

    摘要: A base station schedules one of a plurality of mobile terminals based on an expected SIR of an effective traffic channel associated with a non-scheduled mobile terminal. The expected SIR is generated by computing the expected SIR of a hypothesized traffic channel with a pre-filter adapted to the non-scheduled mobile terminal that would result if the non-scheduled mobile terminal was scheduled. A base station then schedules transmissions to the plurality of mobile terminals based on the computed expected SIR. The expected SIR may be computed so as to compensate for mismatch between the hypothesized traffic channel and a pilot channel associated with the non-scheduled mobile terminal. Alternatively, the expected SIR may be directly computed based on an estimate of the pre-filter of the hypothesized traffic channel.

    摘要: In a wireless network, plural downlink signals from plural base stations are transmitted to a terminal. The plural downlink signals all carry the same information to the terminal. The terminal provides feedback on the downlink channels. The feedback provides information on the taps of the channels. The amount of information fed back is constrained. Based on the feedback, transmission parameters of the downlink signals are adjusted. The process of transmitting, providing feedback, and adjusting the parameters continue so that the energy of the downlink signal is enhanced at the terminal location and suppressed elsewhere. Beam forming can be used to further suppress the energy signature at locations other than the terminal location.

    摘要: Diversity radio transmission is accomplished with excellent performance using multiple antennas receiving a transmission signal from a single power amplifier. A data signal to be transmitted is provided to a first antenna, and a phase-shifted version of the data signal is applied a second antenna. The relative phase shift between the data signal transmitted over the two transmit antennas ensures the two antenna signals can be constructively combined at the receiver. In one non-limiting example embodiment, the relative phase shift is determined by processing pilot signals sent along with the data signal and which are transmitted with predetermined phase shifts.

    摘要: Multi-antenna transmission control presented herein involves generating a set of virtual channel realizations at the transmitter that shares the same second-order statistics as the actual channel realizations observed for a targeted receiver. By making the control-related quantities of interest at the transmitter depend on the long-term statistics of the channel, the actual channel realizations are not needed for transmission control, e.g., for accurate Multiple-Input-Multiple-Output (MIMO) preceding. As such, the use of virtual channel realizations enables transmission control that approaches the “closed-loop” channel capacity that would be provided by full feedback of the (instantaneous) actual channel realizations, without requiring the overhead signaling burden that attends full feedback.
