摘要:
A method for selecting transmission parameters of a multicarrier communication channel comprises setting a power level for active subcarriers of a multicarrier communication channel based on a number of the active subcarriers to achieve a highest channel capacity.
摘要:
A data rate is selected for subcarriers of each frequency and spatial channel of a slowly varying frequency selective multicarrier channel to provide uniform bit loading (UBL) for faster link adaptation. Signal to noise ratios (SNRs) for subcarriers of the multicarrier communication channel may be calculated from channel state information and a transmit power level. A throughput may be estimated for the data rates from the SNRs and one of the data rates may be selected based on the estimated throughputs.
摘要:
A reconfigurable multichannel receiver may selectively operate in increased throughput modes and/or increased range modes. In some embodiments, the receiver may select two or more antennas from a plurality of spatially diverse antennas to receive more than one subchannel of a wideband orthogonal frequency division multiplexed (OFDM) channel. Maximum-ratio combining may be performed on corresponding symbol-modulated subcarriers from the two or more antennas, and a single OFDM symbol may be generated from contributions from the subchannels received by the two or more antennas. In other embodiments, more than one subchannel of a wideband OFDM channel may be received through a single antenna selected from a plurality of spatially diverse antennas. In other embodiments, a single subchannel may be received by a plurality of spatially diverse antennas and maximum-ratio combining may be performed on corresponding symbol-modulated subcarriers received by the antennas.

摘要:
In a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) multicarrier communication system, a mobile station sends a quantized time-domain representation of the channel transfer function to a base station for use by the base station in generating beamforming coefficients for use in subsequent transmissions to the mobile station. In some embodiments, the quantized time-domain representation of the channel transfer function may be generated from selected most significant rays of an initial estimated sampled channel impulse response. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.
摘要:
A multicarrier receiver generates a quantized transmit beamformer matrix ({tilde over (V)}) for each subcarrier of a multicarrier communication channel for use by a multicarrier transmitting station. The multicarrier receiver applies a corrected receiver beamformer matrix (ŨH) to received subcarriers signals generated by signals received from the transmitting station.

摘要:
Noise power is estimated for subcarriers in a multicarrier system by first decoding a received multicarrier signal and then using the decoded signal information and the received signal information to perform the estimation. Soft decision or hard decision decoding may be used. In at least one embodiment, channel estimates are also made using the decoded signal information and the received signal information.
