    摘要: A method and system for beamforming in a multiple user multiple input multiple output (MIMO) communication system using a codebook may include a processor in a node B that enables generation of an interference cancellation matrix (WR). The interference cancellation matrix, also referred to as a matched filter, may enable a composite signal (Y) to be represented as a plurality of subsidiary signals (yi), each of which is transmitted by the node B for reception at a corresponding ith UE station. Each of the subsidiary signals yi may be generated based on a corresponding one of a plurality of data stream signals (xi). The processor may enable generation of a precoding matrix (WT) based on the interference cancellation matrix. A transmitter within the node B may enable generation of a plurality of signals based on the precoding matrix. The signals may be transmitted via a wireless communication medium.

    摘要: Virtual limited buffer modification for rate matching. A reduced-size memory module is employed within a communication device to assist in storage of log-likelihood ratios (LLRs) employed in accordance with turbo decoding. This architecture is also applicable to other types of error correction code (ECC) besides turbo code as well. The memory size is selected to match the number of coded bits (e.g., including information bits and redundancy/parity bits) that is included within a transmission. The received signals may be various transmissions made in accordance with hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) transmissions. When the LLRs calculated from a first HARQ transmission is insufficient to decode, those LLRs are selectively stored in the memory module. When LLRs corresponding to a second HARQ transmission is received, LLRs corresponding to both the first HARQ transmission and the second HARQ transmission are passed from the memory module for joint use in decoding.

    摘要: Aspects of a method and system for transmitter beamforming for reduced complexity multiple input multiple output (MIMO) transceivers are presented. Aspects of the system may include a MIMO transmitter that computes a channel estimate matrix and decomposes the computed channel estimate matrix based on singular value decomposition (SVD). Singular values in a singular value matrix may be rearranged and grouped to generate a plurality of submatrices. In one aspect, each of the submatrices may be decomposed based on GMD at a MIMO transmitter, while a MIMO receiver may utilize a vertical layered space time (VLST) method. In another aspect, the MIMO transmitter may utilize Givens rotation matrices corresponding to each of the submatrices, while the MIMO receiver may utilize maximum likelihood (ML) detection.

    摘要: A method and system for iterative discrete Fourier transform (DFT) based channel estimation using minimum mean square error (MMSE) techniques are presented. Aspects of the method and system include a procedure for computing channel estimates in both the time domain and frequency domain (or mixed domain) using an iterative DFT method based on MMSE techniques. One aspect of the method and system may achieve low computational complexity and produce more accurate channel estimate values in low signal to noise ratio (SNR) regimes in comparison to conventional DFT-based channel estimation methods, which utilize least squares (LS) techniques. The method and system disclosed herein may be practiced in connection with a wide range of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) based systems, for example wireless local area networks (WLAN, for example IEEE 802.11 WLAN systems), and LTE systems.

    摘要: A method and system for multiband user scheduling in a multiple user multiple input multiple output (MU-MIMO) communication system are presented. In one aspect of the method and system a plurality of users in a user group may be selectively assigned to individual frequency bands among a plurality of frequency bands (referred to as a multiband). In an exemplary aspect, a modified greedy user scheduling algorithm may be utilized for assigning users, selected from the user group, to each of the frequency bands. Assigned users for a given frequency band are determined based on channel norm values computed for each of the users in the user group and on chordal distances computed between users in the user group. Pairs of users, selected from the user group, are assigned to each frequency band in the multiband to maximize aggregate data rate capacity for the MIMO communication system.
