摘要:
A method and apparatus for implementing hybrid automatic repeat request (H-ARQ) in a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) wireless communication system are disclosed. A transmitter transmits at least two data packets via two or more antennas. If at least one of the data packets is not successfully transmitted, the transmitter retransmits the data packets while rearranging the data packets in an orthogonal spreading manner. Alternatively, the transmitter may retransmit only the unsuccessfully transmitted data packet along with a new data packet which replaces a successfully transmitted data packet. The unsuccessfully transmitted data packet may simply be repeated without changing its format. When only the unsuccessfully transmitted data packet is retransmitted along with the new data packet, the transmissions may be combined to recover the retransmitted data packet and the new data packet simultaneously.

Apparatus and method of generating a long term evolution (LTE) codebook and performing rank overriding are disclosed. Reordering rules are presented, whereby a second column vector of each rank-4 precoding matrix will not appear in column vectors of a rank-3 precoding matrix, and the first column vector of each rank-4 precodingmatrix is identical to the first column vector of the corresponding rank-3 precodingmatrix. Furthermore, precoder hopping between two precoding matrices corresponding to a particular precoding matrix index (PMI) is implemented, whereby a first one of the two precoding matrices comprises a first subset of column vectors of an original precoding matrix that corresponds to the particular PMI, and a second one of the two precoding matrices comprises a second subset of column vectors of the original precoding matrix. The precoder hopping is performed in time and/or frequency domain.

A wireless communication method and apparatus for creating a codebook in a multiple input/multiple output (MIMO) wireless communication system are disclosed. The method includes adapting a single user codebook, wherein the single user codebook comprises a plurality single user beamforming vectors, into a multi-user codebook, wherein the multi-user codebook comprises a plurality of multi-user beamforming vectors. The method further includes grouping the codebook into a plurality of unitary matrices, selecting a plurality of beamforming vectors from the plurality of unitary matrices, forming a rank specific code-book from the beamforming vectors and the unitary matrices, and selecting a subset of a total number of pairs to form the plurality of unitary matrices.

Techniques for inter-cell interference cancellation are disclosed. At each transmitter, the data (message) may split into two or more layers, (e.g., common and private parts), and may be encoded in different rates, allocated with different powers, possibly beamformed using different precoders, and transmitted through the same physical channels. The common part is to be decoded at both the intended and unintended users, while the private part is to be decoded at the intended user.

A method and apparatus of reducing interference in space frequency block coding (SFBC) communication are disclosed. SFBC encoding is performed on at least one pair of symbols. The symbols are assigned to subcarriers in accordance with a frequency assignment pattern assigned to a cell. Different frequency assignment patterns are assigned to neighboring cells. Cells in the network may be divided into a plurality of groups and a different frequency assignment pattern may be assigned to each group of cells. The frequency assignment pattern may be defined such that subcarriers mapped to a pair of symbols in one cell are interlaced to subcarriers mapped to a pair of symbols in a neighbor cell. Alternatively, the frequency assignment pattern may be defined such that subcarriers mapped to a pair of symbols in one cell are shifted in a neighbor cell.
摘要:
One or more quality indicators are established at a first communication device having antenna elements. The quality indicators indicate a quality of one or more communication links between the first communication device and one or more second communication devices. A modification is determined according to the quality indicators, where the modification describes at least one adjustment of one or more modulation features. A time boundary indicator indicating a boundary of a time period is received. At least some of a set of signals are modulated in accordance with the modification and in response to the time boundary indicator, where a signal is associated with an antenna element. The set of signals is sent from the antenna elements to yield a transmitted signal.
摘要:
Communication is performed for a first communication device having a set of antenna elements. A quality-indication signal is received from a second communication device (e.g., a basestation). A complex weighting is calculated based on the quality-indication signal. A pre-transmission signal is modified based on the complex weighting to produce a set of modified-pre-transmission signals. Each modified pre-transmission signal from the set of modified-pre-transmission signals is uniquely associated with an antenna element from the set of antenna elements. The set of modified-pre-transmission signals is sent from the set of antenna elements to produce a transmitted signal. The complex weighting is associated with a total power of the transmitted power and at least one from a phase rotation and a power ratio associated with each antenna element from the set of antenna elements. For example, in CDMA based systems, a fast feedback from the basestation—the power control indication—can be used by a subscriber communication device for this transmission diversity method in such a way that provides the desired signal quality at the basestation, without necessarily responding to fading nulls by mobile unit power output increase, but rather, by manipulating the weights of the mobile transmitter antenna array. Thus, a significant reduction in average and peak mobile power level is achieved, enhancing network capacity, battery life, and radiation hazards.

Combining signals includes receiving a plurality of groups of signals at a plurality of antennas at a mobile device, where each group of signals includes a plurality of signals, and each signal includes a time slot. The following is repeated for each group of signals of the plurality of groups of signals. An adjustment associated with a time slot of each signal is set. Each signal of the group of signals is adjusted at the time slot in accordance with the adjustment associated with the time slot. A signal quality associated with each time slot of each signal of the group of signals is established, and an optimal adjustment in accordance with the signal qualities is determined. The signals are adjusted in accordance with the optimal adjustment.

A wireless communication system includes a transmitter comprising a serial-to-parallel converter for converting serial data bits to a parallel bit stream, a signal mapper coupled to the serial-to-parallel converter and an antenna selector coupled to the serial-to-parallel converter. The signal mapper receives as input a first group of bits from the parallel bit stream, and maps the first group of bits to a channel symbol. The antenna selector receives as input a second group of bits from the parallel bit stream. A transmit antenna array is coupled to the antenna selector and to the signal mapper. The transmit antenna array generates a plurality of transmit antenna patterns with one of the transmit antenna patterns being selected for transmitting the channel symbol based upon the second group of bits from the antenna selector.
