Calibration for a transmit chain of a device transmitting information to multiple devices over wireless links includes selecting from between two or more calibration determination techniques. In certain aspects the techniques include phase only calibration and phase and amplitude calibration.
摘要:
A channel structure has at least two channel sets. Each channel set contains multiple channels and is associated with a specific mapping of the channels to the system resources available for data transmission. Each channel set may be defined based on a channel tree having a hierarchical structure. To achieve intra-cell interference diversity, the channel-to-resource mapping for each channel set is pseudo-random with respect to the mapping for each remaining channel set. In each scheduling interval, terminals are scheduled for transmission on the forward and/or reverse link. The scheduled terminals are assigned channels from the channel sets. Multiple terminals may use the same system resources and their overlapping transmissions may be separated in the spatial domain. For example, beamforming may be performed to send multiple overlapping transmissions on the forward link, and receiver spatial processing may be performed to separate out multiple overlapping transmissions received on the reverse link.

Methods and apparatuses are disclosed that utilize the discrete Fourier transform of time domain responses to generate beamforming weights for wireless communication. In addition, in some embodiments frequency subcarriers constituting less than all of the frequency subcarriers allocated for communication to a user may utilized for generating the beamforming weights.

Techniques to facilitate estimating the frequency response of a wireless channel in an OFDM system are provided. The method and systems allow for combining signal information across multiple communication channels at one or more channel tap delays in order to determine appropriate taps for channel information.
摘要:
Techniques for controlling transmit power and the amount of overlapping in a quasi-orthogonal system are described. A base station for a sector receives transmissions from terminals in that sector and neighbor sectors and determines performance metrics (e.g., overall throughput) and/or QoS metrics (e.g., minimum data rate) for the terminals in the sector. The base station updates an overlapping factor based on the performance metrics and updates a QoS power control parameter based on the QoS metrics. The overlapping factor indicates the average number of overlapping transmissions sent simultaneously on each time-frequency block usable for data transmission. The QoS power control parameter ensures that the terminals in the sector can achieve minimum QoS requirements. A power control mechanism with multiple loops is used to adjust the transmit power of each terminal. The overlapping factor and QoS power control parameter are updated by two of the loops.

Calibration for a transmit chain of a device transmitting information to multiple devices over wireless links and receive chains of the multiple devices receiving information over one of the wireless links utilizing each of the estimates for different antennas of an access terminal as a separate estimate.
摘要:
Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate calibrating an antenna array in a wireless network by generating a copy of a transmitted signal or transmitted signal from a transmit chain of an antenna and providing it to a receive chain of one or more antennas in the array for comparison to obtain a gain mismatch measurement. Such comparisons can be performed for each antenna in the array to facilitate obtaining multiple measurements, upon which gain mismatch estimations can be generated. Additionally, the array and/or individual antennas therein can be calibrated based on the mismatch estimates
