    摘要: A method of simultaneously providing channel quality feedback information in all valid sub-channels is provided to facilitate and improve the performance of dynamic transmission bandwidth adjustment and fast link adaptation. A receiving device receives a sounding signal over a wide channel in a wireless system. The sounding signal is transmitted from a transmitting device over multiple sub-channels of the wide channel. The receiving device estimates channel quality information based on the sounding signal for each sub-channel. The channel quality information includes estimated average SNR and recommended MCS and other channel quality metrics. The receiving device transmits a feedback message to the transmitting device. The feedback message contains the estimated channel quality information for all valid sub-channels within the transmission bandwidth. The transmitting device performs dynamic transmission bandwidth selection and fast link adaptation based on the channel quality information for all valid sub-channels.

    摘要: A method of monitoring channel-sounding quality for VHT WiFi devices is provided. A mobile station (the receiver) receives a sounding signal transmitted from an access point (the transmitter) over one or multiple sub-channels of a wide channel in a wireless network. The receiver performs channel estimation and determines an estimated channel response matrix. The receiver then calculates sounding quality for each valid sub-channel by computing an estimation error of the received sounding signal based on the estimated channel matrix. The receiver transmits a feedback message to the transmitter. The feedback message contains sounding quality information derived from the calculated channel sounding quality. If the channel sounding qualities for all valid sub-channels are poor, then a null VHT channel feedback frame is sent back to the transmitter.

    摘要: A method of supporting incompatible channelization in a wireless communications system is provided. A coordinating device determines a first set of physical parameters of a first wireless channel. The first set of physical parameters includes a channel bandwidth, a central frequency, a transmit power limit, and a modulation and coding scheme. The coordinating device establishes communication with a first set of communications devices over the first wireless channel. The coordinating device then broadcasts a channel-adjustment message and determines a protection period. The channel-adjustment message comprises a set of instructions on how to adjust to a second set of physical parameters of a second wireless channel. A second set of communications devices adjust physical parameters based on the channel-adjustment message. Finally, the coordinating device communicates with the second set of communications devices over the second wireless channel during the protection period.

    摘要: The present invention relates to use of a smart antenna for a RF reader on a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) system to significantly increase the operating range of the RFID system. The smart antenna can be an adaptive antenna array. The smart antenna comprises a plurality of antenna elements and, by combining the signals from multiple antenna elements, significantly increases the received signal-to-noise ratio. In a noise limited environment, combining the signals to maximize the received signal-to-noise ratio can be based on the maximal ratio combining (MRC) principle. To achieve the best signal quality, the received signal from each antenna can be phase-shifted such that the resultant signals from all antennas are in phase. In addition, the signal from each antenna can be scaled in amplitude based on the square root of its received signal-to-noise ratio.

    摘要: An improved GPS signal receiver (and corresponding method of operation) includes a plurality of antenna elements each receiving a plurality of GPS signals (e.g., GPS LI signals or GPS L2 signals). A plurality of mixers (which correspond to the array of antenna elements) and a combining node convert the GPS signals received at the antenna elements in a frequency-division-multiplexed (FDM) manner over FDM frequency bands logically assigned to the antenna elements to produce a composite signal representing such GPS signals. An analog-to-digital converter converts an analog signal derived from the composite signal (which may be an intermediate frequency signal or a baseband signal) into a digital word stream. Demultiplexing logic extracts GPS signal components in the digital word stream. The GPS signal components correspond to the FDM frequency bands logically assigned to the antenna elements. Beam forming logic, operably coupled to the demultiplexing logic, applies variable phase delay and variable gain to each GPS component in accordance with a set of weight values supplied thereto. Preferably, the beam forming logic is controlled to perform adaptive beam steering/nulling operations that provide for interference cancellation, multipath rejection and improved signal reception.

    摘要: The present invention proposes methods for facilitating and improving the performance of MU-MIMO transmission in wireless communication systems. Each user within a MU group inserts an inter-user interference indication field in its acknowledgement packet. The inter-user interference indication field includes signal-to-interference-noise-ratio (SINR) and interference source information. The MU-MIMO transmitter extracts inter-user interference indication feedback and improves subsequent MU-MIMO transmission. Feedback of the inter-user interference information such as SINR and interference source allows efficient link adaptation, smarter user selection, channel re-sounding selection, and fine-tuning of precoding matrix.
