摘要:
A transmit channel (gt1, h, gr2) through which a first wireless communication transceiver is to transmit to a second wireless communication transceiver can be estimated using information indicative of a relationship between the transmit channel and a receive channel (gt2, h, gr1) through which the first wireless communication transceiver receives communications from the second wireless communication transceiver. The relationship information (35) is combined (37) with further information (31) to produce an estimate of the transmit channel.

The present invention is directed to a time-switched preamble generator and method of generating a time-switched preamble for use with a multiple-input, multiple-output (MIMO) transmitter employing first and second transmit antennas. In one embodiment, the time-switched preamble generator includes an initial preamble formatter configured to provide a first preamble to the first transmit antenna and a second preamble to the second transmit antenna during an initial time interval. The time-switched preamble generator also includes a subsequent preamble formatter coupled to the initial preamble formatter and configured to provide the second preamble to the first transmit antenna and the first preamble to the second transmit antenna during a subsequent time interval.

A method of determining CPS data in an OFDM-based, wireless communication system resolves the phase angle difference between training tones in a burst without CPS data and training tones in a burst with CPS data and then demodulates the resulting difference phase angles to determine the CPS data. The method achieves timing correction/compensation in CPS decode operations associated with OFDM-based, wireless communication systems.

The present invention provides a time-switched preamble supplement generator for use with a multiple-input, multiple-output (MIMO) transmitter employing N transmit antennas wherein N is at least two. In one embodiment, the time-switched preamble supplement generator includes an initial preamble supplement formatter configured to provide a first permutation of a set of preamble supplements to the N transmit antennas during an initial time interval. The first permutation includes a single first preamble supplement and at least one second preamble supplement. The time-switched preamble supplement generator also includes a subsequent preamble supplement formatter coupled to the initial preamble supplement formatter and configured to provide (N−1) mutually exclusive further permutations of the set to the N transmit antennas during (N−1) subsequent time intervals.
摘要:
A method of correctly estimating the frequency offset when the CPE modem has already acquired and is tracking the OFDM burst boundaries in an OFDM-based, wireless communication system. CPS data in an OFDM-based, wireless communication system is modulated as QPSK data in the training tones of the data burst. As long as some bursts have the CPS data modulation and some bursts do not have the CPS data modulation, the CPS data can be recovered. A slip results when there is a linear phase difference across the tones (after the FFT) between the current and the previous burst. This linear phase difference is generally taken care of by the channel estimation obtained using the pilot tones. This phase difference is however, now compensated for correct frequency offset estimation which occurs before the channel estimation and CPS decoding steps.

The present invention provides a time-orthogonal preamble supplement generator for use with a multiple-input, multiple-output (MIMO) transmitter employing N transmit antennas, where N is at least two. In one embodiment, the time-orthogonal preamble supplement generator includes an initial preamble supplement encoder configured to provide a preamble supplement to each of the N transmit antennas during an initial time interval. The time-orthogonal preamble supplement generator also includes a subsequent preamble supplement encoder coupled to the initial preamble supplement encoder and configured to provide the preamble supplement or a negation thereof to the N transmit antennas during (N−1) subsequent time intervals.

摘要:
A method of communicating in a wireless network including a plurality of nodes having communications devices including a first node, wherein at least one node utilizes a first physical layer (PHY) modulation, and at least one other node utilizes a second PHY modulation different from the first PHY modulation. The first node receives a PHY frame transmitted by one of the plurality of nodes, and identifies a PHY modulation type selected from the first PHY modulation and the second PHY modulation used in the PHY frame or to be used in a subsequently to be received PHY frame or frame portion. The first node decodes the PHY frame or the subsequently to be received PHY frame or frame portion using the PHY modulation type identified in the identifying step.
