A method estimates channels in a wireless cooperative cellular network including a set of base stations, and each base station communicates cooperatively with a set of mobile stations. A first sounding signal including a first midamble is transmitted from a first base station to a first mobile station. A second sounding signal including a second midamble is transmitted simultaneously from a second base station to the first mobile station, wherein the first and second midamble are disjoint in time, and wherein the first and second midambles are used to estimate the channels between the first base station and the first mobile station, and the second base station and the first mobile station, respectively.

A method transmits a block of symbols in a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) network including a transmitter having a set of transmit antennas and a receiver having a set of receive antennas. A block of symbols is coded with a first code to generate a first block, which is transmitted and received. If a decoding of the first block is incorrect, then block of symbols is coded with the first code and then a second code different than the first code to generate a second block. The second block is transmitted, received and combined with the first block to recover the block of symbols.
摘要:
A method, system and network transmit data from a base station, via relay stations, to user stations. Imperfect channel state information (CSI) for downlink channels from the base station and the relay stations to the user stations is acquired. For each candidate transmission strategy of a set of candidate transmission strategies, a corresponding beamforming matrix is determined according the imperfect CSI. For each beamforming matrix, a bound on an expected target benefit function is determined, and a particular one of the bounds is selected. The data are then transmitted from the base station, via the relay stations, to the user stations according to the beamforming matrix associated and the candidate strategy associated with the selected bound.

A system incorporates time-hopped and transmitted-reference transceivers in the same wireless network. A transmitter modulates a sequence of bits in a wireless communications network by generating a reference waveform and a data waveform of a waveform pair for each current bit. The phase of the reference waveform depends on a previous modulated bit, and a difference in phase between the reference waveform and the data waveform pair depend on the current bit.

A method, apparatus, and system for modulating and demodulating signals compatible with multiple receiver types and designed for improved receiver performance. The invention includes the use of hybrid impulse radio (H-IR) ultra-wideband (UWB) with forward error correction coding, recursive modulation and other techniques designed to enable one transmitter to transmit a waveform capable of being demodulated concurrently by a coherent receiver, a differentially coherent receiver, and/or a non-coherent receiver.

A system incorporates time-hopped impulse radio (TH-IR) and transmitted-reference impulse radio (TR-IR) transceivers in the same wireless network. A transmitter modulates a sequence of bits in a wireless communications network by generating a reference waveform and a data waveform of a waveform pair for each current bit. The phase of the reference waveform depends on a previous modulated bit, and a difference in phase between the reference waveform and the data waveform pair depend on the current bit. A symbol period for the current bit is partitioned into multiple time intervals, and the reference waveform and the data waveform are encoded in a selected one of the time intervals that depends on the current bit.

A system incorporates time-hopped impulse-radio (TH-IR), transmitted-reference impulse-radio (TR-IR) and noncoherent transceivers in the same wireless network. A transmitter modulates a sequence of bits in a wireless communications network by selecting one coding sequence from a set of orthogonal or quasi-orthogonal coding sequences based on a current subsequence of bits of the input sequence, generating a reference waveform and a data waveform of a waveform pair for each sequence.

A method encodes a sequence of blocks of input bits to be transmitted over a wireless channel. Each block of input bits is converted to a codeword, and each codeword is mapped to multiple sub-blocks of complex numbers. Each sub-block is multiplied by a disambiguating spreading transform to obtain a sub-block of transformed symbols, which can be modulated and transmitted to a receiver, where each received block is demodulated to a block of complex numbers, which are partitioned into sub-blocks. The sub-block of complex numbers are converted to a set of likelihood ratios that correspond to decoded codewords. The input bits can be decoded unambiguously even if only one of the blocks of symbols corresponding to the block of input bits is received correctly.

A method minimizes a rate for feeding back channel state information from a receiver to a transmitter in a multi-input, multi-output communications systems. A temporal autocorrelation function of the channel between the transmitter and the receiver is determined. A spatial covariance information is estimated of the channel. Then, the minimum rate for feeding back channel state information from the receiver to the transmitter is based on actual channel state information and the estimated spatial covariance information and the temporal autocorrelation function.

A method suppresses interference in a time-frequency hopped, ultra wide bandwidth system. Signals corresponding to a transmitted symbol are received. The received signals are frequency demodulated, and a coefficient vector w that minimizes a cost function C ( w n ) = 1 ∑ k λ n - k ∑ k λ n - k w n H x k - c k 2 , is estimated, where λ is a weighting factor between 0, x is a vector representing the received signals, H is a frequency response of a channel used to transmit the symbol, and c is a known training symbol. A coefficient vector, ŵn={circumflex over (R)}n−1{circumflex over (d)}n, is determined, where a correlation matrix for the received signals is R ^ n = 1 ∑ k λ n - k ∑ k λ n - k x k x k H , and an estimate of a crosscorrelation is d ^ n = 1 ∑ k λ n - k ∑ k λ n - k x k c k * . The received signals are then combined according to c ^ n = 1 C ( w ^ n ) w ^ n H x n = 1 1 - w ^ n H d ^ n w ^ n H x n .
