摘要:
The present invention provides an improved channel quality indicator indicia for OFDM communication environments. In addition to taking into consideration carrier-to-interference ratios, the present invention also takes into consideration the degree to which the channel response varies among the sub-carriers throughout the OFDM frequency band. The carrier-to-interference ratio and the degree of channel response variation are directly or indirectly used by a base station to select coding and modulation schemes for transmissions from the base station to the mobile terminal reporting these factors. Further, scheduling of data sent to the mobile terminal and other mobile terminals competing for the same channel resources may also be based in part on the carrier-to-interference ratio and the degree to which the channel response varies.

A rotation by a phase offset is applied to symbols to be transmitted by one antenna relative to symbols to be transmitted from another antenna in a wireless communication system employing multi-element antennas at the transmitter. Such a phase offset allows the functionality of a MIMO system to be maintained when a MIMO channel degenerates. Advantageously, a MIMO system using the new signal design may provide a level of performance in a rich-scattering environment that is equivalent to a MIMO system using a known signal design. Furthermore, a MIMO system employing embodiments of the present invention may show significantly improvements in robustness over conventional MIMO systems.

Embodiments of the invention provide orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing-Space-time Block Codes (OFDMSTBC) mappings for code rate 1, 2 and 4 codes for 4 Transmit Antennas. To overcome the innate weakness of known codes, a new class of STBC codes is provided which is particularly suited for OFDM applications, although other applications are also contemplated. Codes for STBC mappings in the time direction, the frequency direction and a combined time frequency mapping for multiple antennas are provided. In OFDM applications, these codes exploit the properties of OFDM and FEC codes to substantially maintain the advantages of Alamouti codes. Furthermore, while the detailed examples given herein focus on four antenna applications, they can be easily extended to systems with more than four antennas.

In methods of operating a relay station in a multi-hop wireless relay network, the relay station in communication with a superordinate station and a subordinate station, a downlink transmission to/from the superordinate station is transmitted/received at a first frequency. An uplink transmission to/from the subordinate station is transmitted/received at a second frequency. Communications between the relay station and the superordinate station may be scheduled using frames, each frame including a downlink portion at the first frequency, and an uplink portion at the second frequency. The downlink portion includes first and second downlink subframes for communication between the superordinate station and first and second pluralities of stations, respectively. The uplink portion includes first and second uplink subframes for communication between the superordinate station and the first and second pluralities of stations, respectively. The downlink transmission occurs in the first downlink subframe, and the uplink transmission occurs in the first uplink subframe.

The present invention provides methods and devices for mitigating inter-cell interference in communication environments having a plurality of cells. In some embodiments, a time-frequency transmission resource that includes multiple sub-carriers over multiple OFDM symbol intervals is partitioned into a first zone and a second zone. In the first zone, transmissions are transmitted on at least one frequency sub-band which is common to all of the plurality of cells. In the second zone, transmissions are transmitted on at least one frequency sub-band which is used by less than all of the plurality of cells, so as to mitigate inter-cell interference. In some embodiments, in the first zone transmissions are transmitted using a transmission power which is common to all of the plurality of cells and in the second zone transmissions are transmitted using a transmission power which is used by less than all of the plurality of cells so as to mitigate inter-cell interference.

To perform rank adaptation for a mobile station in a wireless network, it is determined whether the mobile station is fast moving. In response to determining that the mobile station is fast moving, an open loop multi-antenna mode is selected to perform wireless communication between the mobile station and a base station. Also, selection is made from among plural ranks for the wireless communication according to the open loop multi-antenna mode between the mobile station and the base station.

A wireless communication system and method for a network having a tree topology. An initial path from a base station to an end relay node is selected. The path selection includes an active communication path and a redundant communication path. The path selection is based on at least one policy factor. The at least one policy factor is monitored and the path is updated based on a change to the monitored at least one policy factor.
