    摘要: The present invention provides methods and apparatus for implementing spatial multiplexing in conjunction with the one or more multiple access protocols during the broadcast of information in a wireless network. A subscriber unit for use in a cellular system is disclosed. The subscriber unit includes: spatially separate receivers, a spatial processor, and a combiner. The spatially separate receivers receive the assigned channel composite signals resulting from the spatially separate transmission of the subscriber downlink datastream(s). The spatial processor is configurable in response to a control signal transmitted by the base station to separate the composite signals into estimated substreams based on information obtained during the transmission of known data patterns from at least one of the base stations. The spatial processor signals the base stations when a change of a spatial transmission configuration is required. The combiner combines the estimated substreams into a corresponding subscriber datastream.

    摘要: A method and communication system for selecting a mode for encoding data for transmission in a wireless communication channel between a transmit unit and a receive unit. The data is initially transmitted in an initial mode and the selection of the subsequent mode is based on a selection of first-order and second-order statistical parameters of short-term and long-term quality parameters. Suitable short-term quality parameters include signal-to-interference and noise ratio (SINR), signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), power level and suitable long-term quality parameters include error rates such as bit error rate (BER) and packet error rate (PER). The method of the invention can be employed in Multiple Input. Multiple Output (MIMO), Multiple Input Single Output (MISO), Single Input Single Output (SISO) and Single Input Multiple Output (SIMO) communication systems to make subsequent mode selection faster and more efficient. Furthermore the method can be used in communication systems employing various transmission protocols including OFDMA, FDMA, CDMA, TDMA.

    摘要: Techniques for location-assisted wireless communication use real-time location(s) of wireless transceiver(s) together with stored location-indexed channel information to improve communication over a wireless channel between the transceiver(s). The stored channel information includes channel characteristics (e.g., average power, angle-of-arrival, and time delay of multipath components) that are substantially constant in time but vary gradually as a function of location. Current transceiver location(s) are obtained and used to retrieve stored channel characteristics corresponding to the location(s). The channel information may be used at either or both transceiver(s) to improve reception and/or transmission of signals propagating over the wireless channel. For example, reception may be improved by using path angle information to perform spatially structured reception, or using path delay information to perform temporally structured reception, e.g., to assign fingers to multipath components in a RAKE receiver and/or to track time delays of multipath components.

    摘要: The present invention includes a wireless communication system. The wireless communication system includes a plurality of transceiver antennae. Each transceiver is spatially separate from at least one other transceiver antenna. Each transceiver antenna includes a transceiver antenna polarization. At least one transceiver antenna has a polarization that is different than at least one other transceiver antenna. Each transceiver antenna transmits a corresponding data stream. The wireless communication system further includes a plurality of receiver antennae. The receiver antennae receive at least one data stream. The transceiver antenna polarization of each transceiver antenna is pre-set to optimize separability of the received data streams. A transmission channel between the transceiver antennae and the receiver antennae can be estimated with a channel matrix. The pre-set transceiver antenna polarization of each transceiver antenna can be determined by minimizing a singular value spread of the channel matrix. A pre-set receiver antenna polarization of each receiver antenna can also be determined by minimizing a singular value spread of the channel matrix.

    摘要: A wireless communications adapts its mode of operation between spatial multiplexing and non-spatial multiplexing in response to transmission-specific variables. An embodiment of a wireless communications system for transmitting information between a base transceiver station and a subscriber unit includes mode determination logic. The mode determination logic is in communication with the base transceiver station and the subscriber unit. The mode determination logic determines, in response to a received signal, if a subscriber datastream should be transmitted between the base transceiver station and the subscriber unit utilizing spatial multiplexing or non-spatial multiplexing. In an embodiment, the mode determination logic has an input for receiving a measure of a transmission characteristic related to the received signal. In an embodiment, the mode determination logic includes logic for comparing the measured transmission characteristic to a transmission characteristic threshold and for selecting one of spatial multiplexing and non-spatial multiplexing in response to the comparison of the measured transmission characteristic to the transmission characteristic threshold. In an embodiment, the transmission characteristic includes at least one of delay spread, post-processing signal-to-noise ratio, cyclical redundancy check (CRC) failure, residual inter-symbol interference, mean square error, coherence time, and path loss. By adapting the mode of operation in response to transmission-specific variables, the use of spatial multiplexing can be discontinued in unfavorable conditions. Additionally, because the wireless communications system can adapt its mode of operation between spatial multiplexing and non-spatial multiplexing, the communications system is compatible with both subscriber units that support spatial multiplexing and subscriber units that do not support spatial multiplexing.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for increasing the capacity of wireless broadcast communications system from a central studio to a plurality of users in a service area is disclosed. Given a source signal whose high information rate exceeds the practical information carrying capacity of the available broadcast channel bandwidth, the invention increases the effective capacity of the broadcast system to effectively communicate such a source signal. The high-rate signal is split into several low-rate signals such that each can be accommodated within the allocated bandwidth. These low-rate signals are transmitted from spatially separated transmitters, all radiating into the service area in the same frequency channel. Each receiver uses a plurality of antennas to receive these multiple cochannel signals that arrive from different directions-of-arrival. The receiver exploits the directions-of-arrival differences of these cochannel signals to separate them into the individually transmitted signals. The separated signals are then demodulated to extract the information signals which are then combined to obtain the original high-rate source signal. Thus, the broadcast information capacity can be increased several-fold.
