A method and apparatus blindly detects a received signal's modulation type characterizing an impairment component of the received signal for each postulated modulation type by determining spatial correlations between In-phase and Quadrature components of the received signal. The blind detection circuit then detects the modulation type based on the characterized impairment component. A metric generator generates a postulation metric for each postulated modulation type based on the characterized impairment component. After evaluating the postulation metrics, an evaluation circuit identifies the postulated modulation type having the best postulation metric as the modulation type of the received signal. According to an exemplary embodiment, the blind detection circuit determines a whitened noise estimate for each postulated modulation type and generates the postulation metrics based on the whitened noise estimate to reduce interference effects in the postulation metrics.

A method and an arrangement (600) in a user equipment (140) for quantizing channel state information in a coordinated multi-point transmission radio communication system (100). A dominant path is between the user equipment (140) and a first network node (110) and a non-dominant path is between the user equipment (140) and a second network node (120, 130). A ratio of the non-dominant path channel response, such as fast fading, to the dominant path channel response is quantized by using a codebook disclosed herein. A method and an arrangement (400) for generating a codebook by applying a log squared error distortion measure in an iterative algorithm. A method and an arrangement (900) in a user equipment (140) for allocating available bits among at least two quantized ratios in a channel state information feedback procedure. The bits are allocated by means of selecting (270) at least one codebook based on statistic properties, such as path gain, of the non-dominant path.

According to the teachings presented herein, each base station in a group of base stations is linked to an associated terminal as a receiver-transmitter pair. These receiver-transmitter pairs reuse channelization resources, such that each terminal represents a source of other-cell interference (also referred to as multi-user interference or MUI) for other terminals in neighboring cells that are reusing all or some of the same channelization resources. Accordingly, the base stations implement a gaming-based algorithm to mitigate MUI for the multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) uplink signals received from their associated terminals. More particularly, each base station functions as a player in a game, in which the allowed gaming action is the selection of the precoding matrix to be used for MIMO uplink transmissions to the base station from an associated terminal.

In a wireless communication network using point-to-point or point-to-multipoint communications, this disclosure teaches the use of combined packets for retransmission and corresponding soft value processing at a receiver, wherein combined packets are formed as the logical combination of two or more previously transmitted packets and allow the receiver to use a single combined packet to correct one or more failed packets. For example, with the combined packet retransmission and corresponding soft value receiver processing as taught herein, a given receiver can use a given combined packet to correct bit errors in all (failed) packets comprising the combined packet as long as the bit errors in a failed packet do not overlap (or align) with bit errors in the other failed packets comprising the combined packet.

According to a method and apparatus taught herein, a network node includes a receiver circuit that determines soft values for received packets corresponding to the information bit groups associated with network coding operations, where the soft values are determined for each information bit group based on joint probabilities of the information bits within the information bit group. For example, first soft values are determined for the information bit groups in a first (received) constituent packet and second soft values are likewise determined for the information bit groups in a network-coded (received) packet that depends on the first constituent packet and a second constituent packet. Third soft values are generated for the information bit groups of the second constituent packet based on jointly evaluating the first and second soft values.
摘要:
Signal properties of a signal section (106) comprising a training sequence are compared with corresponding signal properties of other signal sections (108, 110). At a too large discrepancy, co-sequence interference is concluded to be present. The used signal property can preferably be a signal-to-noise ratio measure or a signal statistics measure. If the existence of co-sequence interference (102) is concluded, measures can be taken to avoid such interference and to mitigate the effects of the interference. A method for mitigating effects of co-sequence interference in channel estimation comprises a joint detection and estimation procedure performed under constrictions assuming presence of co-sequence interference.

A multi-branch receiver comprises a plurality of signal branches including branch filters to filter respective branch input signals and to produce corresponding branch output signals, a combiner to combine the branch output signals to produce a combined baseband signal, a pre-filter to filter the combined baseband signal to produce a received signal with minimum phase channel characteristics, and an equalizer to generate an estimate of a data sequence contained in the received signal.
摘要:
To receive a signal from a multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) communication channel, initial channel taps are generated based on an impulse response estimate of the MIMO communication channel. The received signal is pre-filtered using the initial channel taps to generate output channel taps and a corresponding output signal having an increased signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and uncorrelated noise. The SNR is based on a ratio of the energy in a first subset of the output channel taps to the energy in a second subset of the output channel taps.

The embodiments of the present invention relate to a method in a transmitting unit; a method in a receiving unit; a transmitting unit and a receiving unit, in a wireless communication network employing Time Division Multiple Access, TDMA, for transmitting and, receiving and demodulating data, respectively, the data being transmitted in a signal comprising a burst, wherein bursts relating to NMS number of mobile stations are multiplexed into a single time slot. The transmission comprises grouping a block of N b number of user code bits, representing the data to be transmitted, into NDS/NMS groups of user code bits. Mapping the groups of user code bits to data symbols such that one group is represented by one data symbol, thereby obtaining a block of data symbols, wherein each data symbol is drawn from one or more pre-defined complex-valued symbol constellation(s). The transmission further comprises repeating the block of data symbols, such that the burst to be transmitted comprises NMS number of equal blocks of data symbols, rotating the NMS number of blocks of data symbols according to a mobile-station-specific rotation, and transmitting the rotated blocks of data symbols in a burst in the time slot.
摘要:
A system and method to perform Full Duplex (FD) Space Division Duplex (SDD) communication using a Self-Interference Cancelling (SIC) precoder that applies different antenna phase shifts and amplitude scales to the transmitted signals to force them to be in the null space of the selected receive antennas. Thus, a wireless communication unit can place nulls at each of its receive antennas digitally at baseband for one or more frequency bands. The SIC precoder may be computed based on the self-interference channel from the transmit chain(s) to the receive chain(s). Different SIC precoders may be adaptively selected and stored digitally for different frequency bands. Subsequent single or multi-user precoder can be applied in concatenation with the SIC precoder to transmit signals to one or more users while receiving signals from one or more users simultaneously over the same frequency band.
