摘要:
A method including transmitting a binary vector from a source node to a relay node and receiving a signal vector at the relay node. The method also includes compressing the signal at the relay node by multiplying the signal with a matrix using probabilities and converting output probabilities from the multiplying into retransmission signal amplitudes, the signal amplitude depending not only on a probability of a bit but on a transmission power constraint at the relay node. The method also includes transmitting, by the relay node, estimates of information from the source node to a destination node.

Thus, the exemplary embodiments of the invention describe methods, computer program products and apparatus that provide improved quantization, as may be useful within the context of a communication system (e.g., a wireless communication system) that has a relay node. In one non-limiting, exemplary embodiment, a method includes: receiving a transmission having source data from an information source; determining an estimate of the source data using a quantization technique based on maximizing data throughput; and transmitting a message including the determined estimate towards an information destination.

The telecommunications system described herein implements a multi-rank beamformer for use in wireless systems equipped with multiple transmit and multiple receive antennas. The multi-rank beamformer uses finite-rate feedback of channel conditions to achieves close to theoretical performance indicated by the water-filling algorithm, while avoiding the computational complexity associated with space time codes. In addition, the multi-rank beamforming system described herein improves on the performance of unit rank beamforming methods by maintaining the gains over space time codes over a broader range of transmission rates.
摘要:
Beamforming systems having a few bits of channel state information fed back to the transmitter benefit from low complexity decoding structures and performances gains compared with systems that do not have channel state feedback. Both unit rank and higher rank systems are implemented. Substantial design effort may be avoided by following a method of using functions formulated for space-time systems with the change that the channel coherence time is equated to the number of transmit antennas and the number of antennas in the space-time formulation is fixed at one.

摘要:
A signal constellation for a multiple input/multiple output (MIMO) communication system when channel knowledge at the receiver is imperfect includes at least two (n−1)-dimensional sub-constellations of points that together form an n-dimensional constellation, the number n representing real dimensions and n=2M where M is the number of transmit antennas. The n-dimensional spherical constellation may define a single sphere or a plurality of concentric subset spheres, and points between subsets are separated by a Kullback-Leibler distance rather than a Euclidian distance. Each sphere has sub-constellations that preferably are arranged in symmetric pairs that define equal numbers of points that lie in parallel planes, to allow recursive construction that minimizes computational complexity. An appropriate constellation may be chosen by ceasing a search once the optimum minimum distance stops increasing as a number of the concentric levels increases.
