摘要:
Techniques for rank adaptation and multiple-stream reverse link communications in a wireless access network are disclosed. A remote unit transmits one or more reverse link data streams using separate identifiers to a base station. The number of reverse link data streams may be determined according to feedback from the base station or it may be determined by testing one or more multiple-antenna transmit hypotheses. The base station may estimate channel conditions using information obtained from the one or more reverse link data streams and may determine a spatial rank of the communication channel. The remote unit may perform separate error control and power control processes for each reverse link data stream in cooperation with the base station.

A system has multiple antennas, a Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) module creating TDM slots, and demultiplexing circuitry inserting within the TDM slots Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) symbols and associating the TDM slots with data sub-streams. The system also includes precoding circuitry associating the data sub-streams with multiple tones. Each of the respective tones corresponds to a respective one of the antennas. The antennas transmit the data sub-streams using the multiple tones.
摘要:
A method for use by a remote unit in an Evolution Data Optimized (EVDO) network includes sending transmissions to a base station, each of the transmissions corresponding to a respective one of multiple hypotheses of multiple antenna usage. The method also includes receiving feedback from the base station in response to the transmissions, the feedback being uninformed of multiple antenna usage and using the feedback to select at least one of the hypotheses. The method further includes transmitting data using a multiple-antenna scheme associated with the selected hypotheses.

Accordingly, a method and apparatus are provided wherein a receiver system selects a pre-coding matrix, comprising eigen-beamforming weights, to use and provides rank value and matrix index associated with the selected matrix to the transmitter system. The transmitter system upon receiving the rank value and matrix index, determine if the matrix associated with the matrix index provided by the receiver system can be used. If not, them transmitter system selects another matrix for determining eigen-beamforming weights.

Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate estimating transmit covariance from evaluation of a channel (e.g., forward link channel, reverse link channel, . . . ) to be utilized in linear precoding for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) wireless communication systems. Predefined codebooks that include any number of precoding matrices may be modified based upon transmit covariance estimations to yield improved precoding performance. Further, channel related feedback may be generated and analyzed by utilizing the modified codebooks.

Systems and methodologies are described that facilitates computing a precoding index which correlates to a precoding matrix within a codebook. According to various aspects, systems and/or methods are described that facilitate computing an effective signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). Such systems and/or methods may further facilitate selecting a precoding matrix and a corresponding precoding index. Such systems and/or methods may still further facilitate employing the precoding matrix in a MIMO wireless communication system.

Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate constructing unitary matrices that may be utilized in linear precoding for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) wireless communication systems. Each unitary matrix may be generated by combining (e.g., multiplying) a diagonal matrix with a Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) matrix. The unitary matrices may be utilized to provide feedback related to a channel and/or control transmission over a channel based upon obtained feedback.
