    摘要: A modified preamble is used by extended devices that operate at higher rates, MIMO or other extensions relative to strict 802.11a-compliant devices. The extended devices might use multiple antenna techniques (MIMO), where multiple data streams are multiplexed spatially and/or multi-channel techniques, where an extended transmitter transmits using more than one 802.11 a channel at a time. Such extensions to IEEE 802.11 a can exist in extended devices. The modified preamble is usable for signaling, to legacy devices as well as extended devices, to indicate capabilities and to cause legacy devices or extended devices to defer to other devices such that the common communication channel is not subject to unnecessary interference. The modified preamble is also usable for obtaining MIMO channel estimates and/or multi-channel estimates. The modified preamble preferably includes properties that facilitate detection of conventional and/or extended modes (“mode detection”) and provides some level of coexistence with legacy IEEE 802.11 a devices.

    摘要: Channel estimation techniques are provided for a receiver of a wireless communication system using orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM), including legacy 802.11a and various extended rate systems. Training signals are received from one or more receive antennas. An estimated channel impulse response is computed from the received training signals by reference to a training sequence. The estimated channel impulse response is truncated in the time domain based on channel power and noise data. Channel response tracking techniques may also be implemented to correct for variations in channel response over the transmission time of a packet.

    摘要: Soft symbol decoder algorithms for multiple input, multiple output (MIMO) receivers reduce the search complexity by searching over fewer than all possible combinations of transmitted symbols to compute log metrics for each transmitted bit from each transmit antenna. In one algorithm, a sub-optimal set of transmitted symbols is computed and the transmitted symbols are restricted to neighboring constellation points of the sub-optimal set. In another algorithm, all constellation points are searched for every antenna except one. In yet another algorithm, constellation points are searched excluding more than one antenna. The non-searched antenna(s) can be handled by either a bit stuffing or a soft slicing technique.

    摘要: MIMO modulation is supported in a wireless network with at least one degenerate node. A transmitter separates data into multiple streams for modulation. To transmit the modulated data, the transmitter uses a separate antenna for each data stream or coherently combines the modulated data streams prior to transmission via fewer antenna than modulated data streams. In either case, the received signal includes a contribution from each data stream. A receiver is configured for processing multiple signals sent in parallel from multiple transmit antennas; thus, the operation of the receiver is unaffected by whether the multiple data streams of the transmitter were combined in the channel after transmission or in whole or part in the transmitter prior to transmission.

    摘要: Systems and methodologies are described that provide low-complexity soft-output detection for MIMO communication systems. Looping can be performed over a set of constellation points per spatial stream to obtain distance metrics for each of a series of transmitted streams, for which values for the other transmitted streams can be estimated using a MIMO channel matrix and a sub-optimal MIMO algorithm. Examples of MIMO algorithms that can be utilized include Per-Stream List Detection (PSLD), Lattice-Reduced Detection (LRD), and a Guided-M Algorithm. Performance can be further improved by pre-processing the MIMO channel matrix and/or by utilizing techniques for Enhanced Metric Usage (EMU).

    摘要: In a packet detector, one or more tests are performed for packet detection according to packet detection parameters associated with the one or more tests, a rate of false detection is measured, and the packet detection parameters are adjusted accordingly to reduce the rate of false detection. The rate of false detection might be determined by analyzing post-detection and processing of a signal deemed to be a signal representing a packet for a failure of decoding indicative of a false detection. Such analysis might include testing for a failed SFD search, training symbol anomalies, poor conditioning of metrics used to determine frequency offset and OFDM timing, incorrect data fields, or the like.
