摘要:
An equal gain composite beamforming technique which includes the constraint that the power of the signal output by each antenna is the same, and is equal to the total power of the transmit signal divided by the number N of transmit antennas from which the signal is to be transmitted. By reducing output power requirements for each power amplifier, the silicon area of the power amplifiers are reduced by as much as N times (where N is equal to the number of transmit antennas) relative to a non-equal gain composite beamforming technique. A method and apparatus are disclosed for a transmission technique by a wireless communications device which includes providing that the power applied to each transmit antenna may be equal to the total power of the transmit signal divided by the number N of transmit antennas from which the signal is to be transmitted. The device may determine a total transmit power and produce a multi-carrier signal for transmission. Accordingly, the device may apply a power to each of the N transmit antennas, for the multicarrier signal, which is equal to the total transmit power divided by N. Further, the device may produce a weight for each of the N transmit antennas used. The device may weight the multi-carrier signal for each antenna per the produced weight. Each transmit antenna signal may be amplified by an amplifier coupled to that antenna.

In a reverse link of a wireless CDMA communication system, a method of maintaining an idling mode connection between a field unit and a base transceiver station is provided using various techniques to maintain the idle mode connection at a reduced power level. A preferred embodiment computes a time slot or frame offset based on modulo function using a field unit identifier in order to distribute field unit maintenance transmissions among available slots or offsets. An alternate embodiment detects explicit signaling states changes at the physical layer and causes power target changes. A further embodiment transmits maintenance data during predetermined time intervals, coordinated between the field units and BTS, allowing power levels to be adjusted accordingly.

An equal gain composite beamforming technique which includes the constraint that the power of the signal output by each antenna is the same, and is equal to the total power of the transmit signal divided by the number N of transmit antennas from which the signal is to be transmitted. By reducing output power requirements for each power amplifier, the silicon area of the power amplifiers are reduced by as much as N times (where N is equal to the number of transmit antennas) relative to a non-equal gain composite beamforming technique. A method and apparatus are disclosed for a multiple input multiple output (MIMO) transmission technique by a wireless communications device which includes providing that the power applied to each transmit antenna may be equal to the total power of the transmit signal divided by the number N of transmit antennas from which the signal is to be transmitted. The device may produce a weight for each of the N transmit antennas used in MIMO transmission. Also, the device may determine a total transmit power and produce a multi-carrier signal for transmission. The device may weight the multi-carrier signal for each antenna per the produced weight. Further, the device may apply a power to each of the N transmit antennas, for the weighted multicarrier signal, which is equal to the total transmit power divided by N. Each transmit antenna signal may be amplified by an amplifier coupled to that antenna.

A subscriber unit receives a control message, wherein the control message includes an indication of periodic time intervals and an indication of a phase, and wherein each of the periodic time intervals include at least one time slot. The subscriber unit further receives power commands. The subscriber unit transmits signals in the indicated periodic time intervals, wherein each of the transmitted signals is derived from a sequence having the indicated phase and having a transmission power level derived from the received power commands, and wherein the transmitted signals are not transmitted simultaneously with traffic data by the subscriber unit. The subscriber unit transmits traffic data signals, wherein the traffic data signals have a transmission power level also derived from the received power commands.
摘要:
A technique for encoding digital communication signals. Data symbols are augmented in pilot symbols inserted at predetermined positions. The pilot augmented sequence is then fed to a deterministic error correction block encoder, such as a turbo product coder, to output a coded sequence. The symbols in the error correction encoded sequence are then rearranged to ensure that the output symbols derived from input pilot symbols are located at regular, predetermined positions. As a result, channel encoding schemes can more easily be used which benefits from power of two length block sizes.

A MIMO radio transceiver to support processing of multiple signals for simultaneous transmission via corresponding ones of a plurality of antennas and to support receive processing of multiple signals detected by corresponding ones of the plurality of antennas. The radio transceiver provides, on a single semiconductor integrated circuit, a receiver circuit or path for each of a plurality of antennas and a transmit circuit or path for each of the plurality of antennas. Each receiver circuit downconverts the RF signal detected by its associated antenna to a baseband signal. Similarly, each transmit path upconverts a baseband signal to be transmitted by an assigned antenna.
