摘要:
A method of simultaneously providing channel quality feedback information in all valid sub-channels is provided to facilitate and improve the performance of dynamic transmission bandwidth adjustment and fast link adaptation. A receiving device receives a sounding signal over a wide channel in a wireless system. The sounding signal is transmitted from a transmitting device over multiple sub-channels of the wide channel. The receiving device estimates channel quality information based on the sounding signal for each sub-channel. The channel quality information includes estimated average SNR and recommended MCS and other channel quality metrics. The receiving device transmits a feedback message to the transmitting device. The feedback message contains the estimated channel quality information for all valid sub-channels within the transmission bandwidth. The transmitting device performs dynamic transmission bandwidth selection and fast link adaptation based on the channel quality information for all valid sub-channels.

A method of sounding and feedback with channel quality information and reduced overhead is provided. A receiving station receives a sounding signal transmitted from an access point over multiple sub-channels of a wide channel in a wireless network. The receiving station detects channel quality based on the received sounding signal for each sub-channel. The receiving station then performs channel estimation based on the received sounding signal and thereby determining feedback information. Finally, the receiving station transmits a feedback message to the access point, the feedback message contains NULL feedback information, reduced feedback information, or channel integrity/quality indicators based on the channel quality information for each sub-channel. Based on the feedback message, the access point may repeat the sounding process, narrow the transmission bandwidth, or select only stations who have indicated uncorrupted channel sounding for MU-MMO transmission.

A method of monitoring channel-sounding quality for VHT WiFi devices is provided. A mobile station (the receiver) receives a sounding signal transmitted from an access point (the transmitter) over one or multiple sub-channels of a wide channel in a wireless network. The receiver performs channel estimation and determines an estimated channel response matrix. The receiver then calculates sounding quality for each valid sub-channel by computing an estimation error of the received sounding signal based on the estimated channel matrix. The receiver transmits a feedback message to the transmitter. The feedback message contains sounding quality information derived from the calculated channel sounding quality. If the channel sounding qualities for all valid sub-channels are poor, then a null VHT channel feedback frame is sent back to the transmitter.

The present invention relates to demodulation of radio signals from a base station having collocated transmit antennas, and more particularly to signaling allocation information from a base station to a mobile terminal. The allocation information may include timeslot and code information of allocation to other mobile terminals. Some embodiments of the present invention facilitate a mobile terminal's ability to receive and demodulate a signal containing multiple interfering signals by communicating codes allocated to other mobile terminals.

A cellular communication system (100) comprises management logic (146) having broadcast mode logic (150) arranged to support a common cell identifier reuse pattern for broadcast transmissions amongst a cluster of communication cells. A plurality of wireless serving communication units is operably coupled to the management logic. At least one wireless communication unit comprises a receiver for receiving a broadcast signal from both a first serving wireless communication unit and a second serving wireless communication unit wherein both the first serving wireless communication unit and second serving wireless communication unit use a common cell identifier (215) reuse pattern for broadcast transmissions to be used by the at least one wireless communication unit in receiving broadcast communication across the cluster of communication cells. The at least one wireless communication unit further comprises logic arranged to detect the broadcast communication from both the first serving wireless communication unit and second serving wireless communication unit, where the broadcast communication is allocated to the first timeslot (350) or first sub-frame based on it being more robust to multipath delay due to temporal dispersion of the same broadcast signal from a plurality of wireless serving communication units.

Channel estimation in a MIMO communications system comprises performing a decomposition of an initial channel matrix estimate associated with a first subcarrier of a plurality thereof defined in the channel to identify eigenvectors associated with that subcarrier of the received signal, and defining a first beamforming transformation to be applied to the received signal on the basis of the eigenvectors. Then, for each of the other subcarriers, an additional decomposition is performed in order to determine a further beamforming transformation for each of said one or more other subcarriers, wherein said additional decompositions are carried out incrementally such that information determined in one of said decompositions contributes to a later executed decomposition. Further described is a method of transmitting from a multiple antenna transmitter defining a plurality of subcarriers in space, and time or frequency, comprising the same iterative process. This transmitting can be carried out using smoothed beamforming applied in accordance with aspects of the invention.

An Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplex (OFDM) communication system comprises OFDM transmitters (103-109) and an OFDM receiver (101). The system comprises a subcarrier status data controller (200) for transmitting subcarrier status data to the OFDM receiver (101). The subcarrier status data indicates the active subcarriers of the OFDM transmitters (103-109). The OFDM receiver (101) comprises a receiver (201) which receives a signal comprising a desired signal component from a first OFDM transmitter (103) and interference from at least one interfering OFDM transmitter (105). The OFDM receiver (101) further comprises a subcarrier status processor (203) which receives the subcarrier status data and a channel estimator (205) which determines channel estimates for at least an air interface communication channel from the first OFDM transmitter (103) and an air interface communication channel from the interfering OFDM transmitter (105). An interference mitigation processor (207) performs interference mitigation of the interference in response to the subcarrier status data and the channel estimates thereby providing improved recovery of the data from the first OFDM transmitter (103).
