    摘要: A transmitting entity performs spatial processing on data symbols for each subband with an eigenmode matrix, a steering matrix, or an identity matrix to obtain spatially processed symbols for the subband. The data symbols may be sent on orthogonal spatial channels with the eigenmode matrix, on different spatial channels with the steering matrix, or from different transmit antennas with the identity matrix. The transmitting entity further performs beamforming on the spatially processed symbols, in the frequency domain or time domain, prior to transmission from the multiple transmit antennas. A receiving entity performs the complementary processing to recover the data symbols sent by the transmitting entity. The receiving entity may derive a spatial filter matrix for each subband based on a MIMO channel response matrix for that subband and perform receiver spatial processing for the subband with the spatial filter matrix.

    摘要: Techniques for extending transmission range in a WLAN are described. In an aspect, a receiving station determines the frequency error between a transmitting station and the receiving station based on one or more initial packet transmissions and corrects this frequency error for subsequent packet transmissions received from the transmitting station. The residual frequency error is small after correcting for the frequency error and allows the receiving station to perform coherent accumulation/integration over a longer time interval to detect for a packet transmission. The longer coherent accumulation interval improves detection performance, especially at low SNRs for extended transmission range. The techniques may be used whenever the receiving station knows the identity of the transmitting station, e.g., if the subsequent packet transmissions are scheduled. Other aspects, features, and embodiments are also claimed and described.

    摘要: A power-efficient wireless device is equipped with multiple (N) antennas. Each antenna is associated with a transmitter unit and a receiver unit. The wireless device also has processing units used to perform various digital processing tasks. The transmitter units, receiver units, and processing units may be selectively enabled or disabled. In an idle state, the wireless device may enable only a subset (e.g., one) of the N receiver units and one or few processing units for signal detection and acquisition. For active communication, the wireless device may enable Ntx transmitter units for data transmission and/or Nrx receiver units for data reception, where 1≦Ntx≦N and 1≦Nrx≦N. The enabled processing units may also be clocked at a lower frequency whenever data is transmitted or received at a data rate lower than the highest data rate. The wireless device may go to sleep whenever possible to conserve power.

    摘要: Techniques for decomposing matrices using Jacobi rotation are described. Multiple iterations of Jacobi rotation are performed on a first matrix of complex values with multiple Jacobi rotation matrices of complex values to zero out the off-diagonal elements in the first matrix. For each iteration, a submatrix may be formed based on the first matrix and decomposed to obtain eigenvectors for the submatrix, and a Jacobi rotation matrix may be formed with the eigenvectors and used to update the first matrix. A second matrix of complex values, which contains orthogonal vectors, is derived based on the Jacobi rotation matrices. For eigenvalue decomposition, a third matrix of eigenvalues may be derived based on the Jacobi rotation matrices. For singular value decomposition, a fourth matrix with left singular vectors and a matrix of singular values may be derived based on the Jacobi rotation matrices.

    摘要: For eigenvalue decomposition, a first set of at least one variable is derived based on a first matrix being decomposed and using Coordinate Rotational Digital Computer (CORDIC) computation. A second set of at least one variable is derived based on the first matrix and using a look-up table. A second matrix of eigenvectors of the first matrix is then derived based on the first and second variable sets. To derive the first variable set, CORDIC computation is performed on an element of the first matrix to determine the magnitude and phase of this element, and CORDIC computation is performed on the phase to determine the sine and cosine of this element. To derive the second variable set, intermediate quantities are derived based on the first matrix and used to access the look-up table.

    摘要: An access point in a multi-antenna system broadcasts data using spatial spreading to randomize an “effective” channel observed by each user terminal for each block of data symbols broadcast by the access point. At the access point, data is coded, interleaved, and modulated to obtain ND data symbol blocks to be broadcast in NM transmission spans, where ND≧1 and NM>1. The ND data symbol blocks are partitioned into NM data symbol subblocks, one subblock for each transmission span. A steering matrix is selected (e.g., in a deterministic or pseudo-random manner from among a set of L steering matrices) for each subblock. Each data symbol subblock is spatially processed with the steering matrix selected for that subblock to obtain transmit symbols, which are further processed and broadcast via NT transmit antennas and in one transmission span to user terminals within a broadcast coverage area.

    摘要: A transmitting entity transmits a “base” pilot in each protocol data unit (PDU). A receiving entity is able to derive a sufficiently accurate channel response estimate of a MIMO channel with the base pilot under nominal (or most) channel conditions. The transmitting entity selectively transmits an additional pilot if and as needed, e.g., based on channel conditions and/or other factors. The additional pilot may be adaptively inserted in almost any symbol period in the PDU. The receiving entity is able to derive an improved channel response estimate with the additional pilot. The transmitting entity sends signaling to indicate that additional pilot is being sent. This signaling may be embedded within pilot symbols sent on a set of pilot subbands used for a carrier pilot that is transmitted across most of the PDU. The signaling indicates whether additional pilot is being sent and possibly other pertinent information.
