    摘要: Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate performing interference nulling and rank prediction in an access terminal. Multiple receiver demodulator types may be implemented at the access terminal, and an interference covariance matrix may be estimated thereat. SNRs may be calculated for the various receiver demodulator types, and an optimum rank and associated CQI information may be identified and generated, respectively, which information may then be transmitted to an access point. At least one of the receiver demodulator types may perform an interference nulling protocol. For example, the receiver demodulator types may comprise at least one minimum mean-squared error interference-nulling (MMSE-IN) demodulator, along with and one or more of a maximal ratio combining (MRC) demodulator and a minimum mean-squared error (MMSE) demodulator.

    摘要: The present invention provides a method of characterizing a frequency response of a transmission channel between a transceiver and a subscriber unit. The method includes once per predetermined interval of time, the transceiver transmitting a signal including multiple carriers, a plurality of the carriers including training symbols, a plurality of the carriers including information symbols. The subscriber unit generates frequency response estimates at the frequencies of the carriers including training symbols, each interval of time. The frequency response estimates are converted into a time domain response generating an impulse response once per interval of time. The impulse responses are filtered over a plurality of intervals of time. A channel profile is determined from the filtered impulse responses. The channel profile is converted to the frequency domain generating a channel interpolator. The characterized frequency response is generated from the channel interpolator and the frequency response estimates. The filtering can include averaging the impulse responses over a plurality of intervals of time, accumulating the impulse responses over a plurality of intervals of time, or weighted averaging of the impulse responses over a plurality of intervals of time. The weighted averaging can be dependent upon a phase error between the impulse responses, and/or an amplitude error between the impulse responses.

    摘要: The performance of a Single Code Word (SCW) design with low complexity MMSE receiver & rank prediction is similar to the Multiple Code Word (MCW) design with successive interference cancellation (SIC). A method of rank prediction comprises calculating MIMO channel matrices corresponding to layer transmissions for each tone, calculating signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs) for each tone based on the MIMO channel matrices, mapping the SNR for each tone to generate effective SNRs for each layer transmission, selecting a highest packet format (PF) with an SNR threshold less than the effective SNR for each layer transmission, maximizing an over-all spectral efficiency based on the selected highest packet formats for each layer transmission, and selecting a rank based on maximizing an over-all spectral efficiency.
