    摘要: The present invention relates to estimating and correcting for frequency offset errors in wireless receivers, and is particularly but not exclusively related to MIMO WLAN applications. The present invention provides an improved method of tracking receiver frequency offsets in a receiver for MIMO systems. These receiver based frequency offset components are caused by errors or inaccuracies in various receiver sub-systems such as phase lock loops or carrier frequency oscillator error, and sampling clock rate errors. The frequency offsets due to each of a number of receiver sub-systems are estimated by monitoring frequency offsets on a number of channels or subcarriers (such as OFDM pilot channels) on different frequencies. These channel frequency offsets are preferably estimated by detecting the phase rotation between adjacent pilot symbols on each respective channel. They are then weighted according to a quality parameter of the estimates, which corresponds to their accuracy. An example of a quality parameter is the effective SNR of the respective channels, or preferably the error variance of the phase rotation. In an embodiment the quality parameter is or is proportional to ∥Hx∥2. The weighted channel frequency offsets are then used to determine one or more receiver sub-system frequency offset components. For example a least squares line fit analysis can be performed.

    摘要: In a lattice-reduction-aided receiver based wireless communications system, soft estimates of transmitted bit values are determined from a received signal by applying lattice reduction to the channel estimate and equalising the received signal in accordance with the reduced basis channel, and determining probabilities of transmitted bits having particular values by generating a set of candidate vectors in the reduced basis based on nearest candidate vectors, determining a corresponding transmitted symbol vector for each candidate vector and, on the basis of the received signal determining the probability of each transmitted bit value having been transmitted.

    摘要: The invention relates to apparatus, methods, processor control code and signals for channel estimation in MIMO (Multiple-input Multiple-output) OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexed) communication systems. An OFDM signal is transmitted from an OFDM transmitter using a plurality of transmit antennas but has one or more nulled subcarriers, corresponding to windowing in the frequency domain. The OFDM signal is adapted for channel estimation for channels associated with said transmit antennas by the inclusion of orthogonal training sequence data in the signal from each said antenna. The training sequence data is derived from substantially orthogonal training sequences for each said transmit antenna, the training sequences being constructed based upon sequences of values Xmk=exp(−j2πkm/M) where k indexes a value in a said sequence, m indexes a transmit antenna, and M is the number of transmit antennas. Embodiments of these techniques provide training sequences that are more robust to, inter alia, nulled subcarriers.

    摘要: In a MIMO system the bit error rate floor caused by time dispersion is reduced by employing a joint minimum mean square error (MMSE) equalizer for all of the respective transmit antenna—receive antenna pairings that are possible in the MIMO system. The resulting joint equalization compensates not only for the impact of the channel on the transmit antenna—receive antenna pairings but also for the interference of the other transmit antennas on any given receive antenna. The joint equalization outperforms simply replicating the prior art minimum mean square error (MMSE) equalizer for each transmit antenna—receive antenna pairings.
