摘要:
The present invention is directed to a time-switched preamble generator and method of generating a time-switched preamble for use with a multiple-input, multiple-output (MIMO) transmitter employing first and second transmit antennas. In one embodiment, the time-switched preamble generator includes an initial preamble formatter configured to provide a first preamble to the first transmit antenna and a second preamble to the second transmit antenna during an initial time interval. The time-switched preamble generator also includes a subsequent preamble formatter coupled to the initial preamble formatter and configured to provide the second preamble to the first transmit antenna and the first preamble to the second transmit antenna during a subsequent time interval.

The present invention provides a time-switched preamble supplement generator for use with a multiple-input, multiple-output (MIMO) transmitter employing N transmit antennas wherein N is at least two. In one embodiment, the time-switched preamble supplement generator includes an initial preamble supplement formatter configured to provide a first permutation of a set of preamble supplements to the N transmit antennas during an initial time interval. The first permutation includes a single first preamble supplement and at least one second preamble supplement. The time-switched preamble supplement generator also includes a subsequent preamble supplement formatter coupled to the initial preamble supplement formatter and configured to provide (N−1) mutually exclusive further permutations of the set to the N transmit antennas during (N−1) subsequent time intervals.

A method comprising encoding a plurality of signals according to a predetermined negation scheme and transmitting the plurality of signals, wherein each signal is transmitted by way of a wireless channel. The method further comprises receiving a signal, wherein the received signal is a combination of the plurality of transmitted signals, and interpolating between data in the received signal to generate a plurality of systems of equations. The method further comprises solving the plurality of systems of equations to determine a gain and phase shift applied to each of the plurality of transmitted signals by a corresponding wireless channel.

摘要:
A method of communicating in a wireless network including a plurality of nodes having communications devices including a first node, wherein at least one node utilizes a first physical layer (PHY) modulation, and at least one other node utilizes a second PHY modulation different from the first PHY modulation. The first node receives a PHY frame transmitted by one of the plurality of nodes, and identifies a PHY modulation type selected from the first PHY modulation and the second PHY modulation used in the PHY frame or to be used in a subsequently to be received PHY frame or frame portion. The first node decodes the PHY frame or the subsequently to be received PHY frame or frame portion using the PHY modulation type identified in the identifying step.
摘要:
A method and system for estimating noise variance. A method for noise variance estimation comprises receiving a first multi-sample symbol and receiving a second multi-sample symbol. The first multi-sample symbol is subtracted from the second multi-sample symbol to produce a set of noise samples. The set of noise samples is used to produce a noise variance estimate. The noise variance estimate is applied in various tasks (e.g. channel estimation, log-likelihood ratio computation, and/or minimum mean squared error equalization) to process data provided to a user.
