摘要:
A multi-level space time signal constellation that is optimized for use with a multi-carrier, multi-path communication scheme includes points on a first level separated from points on a mutually exclusive second level by a minimum distance that is based on a conditional probability distribution, preferably a Kullback-Leibler (KL) distance. Points within one level may be separated by a Euclidean distance, but spherical levels are rotated relative to one another to maximize a minimum inter-level KL distance. A receiver uses pilot symbols to estimate the channels and two-stage symbol detection, determining in one stage the constellation level and in another stage the point in the level. The receiver calculates a likelihood function based on a conditional distribution which does not reduce to the Euclidean-based nearest-neighbor detector. A single stored constellation may be scaled based on received signal to noise ratio. Each constellation defines n=2M real dimensions, wherein M is the number of transmit antennas.

Interference management in a wireless network is disclosed in this document. Two networks with overlapping frequency bands and coverage areas are configured to cooperate in order to mitigate mutual interference. Some embodiments relate to medium reservation in a first network to protect a transmission in a second network, while other embodiments relate to aligning communication parameters between the networks.
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.
摘要:
A system and method for the efficient transmission of information in a code division multiple access (CDMA) wireless telecommunication system. To increase the rate of reliable transmission, an orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) scheme is implemented in a direct-spread CDMA network, this combination sometimes being referred to as multi-carrier CDMA (MC-CDMA). Information (such as voice and data), interspersed with a known pilot signal, is encoded and spread across the frequency domain, rather than the time domain as in traditional CDMA; the allowable transmission bandwidth is divided into a number of carriers. To achieve even larger transmission rates, the guardband between carriers is eliminated. To prevent interference, the number of pilot transmissions is reduced and a corresponding number of frequency bins at the border of an OFDM block are loaded with zeros. The receiver simply ignores these subcarriers when reconstructing the transmitted signal.
