Abstract:
The invention relates to methods and apparatuses implementing a novel three-phase closed-loop CSI feedback scheme, in which receiver stations exchange local channel state information for optimal feedback design. One or more transmission stations transmit a sounding signal to a group of receiver stations via a channel using an antenna array, so as to enable the receiver stations to obtain local channel state information representing the instantaneous channel state. The channel state information of the receiver stations is shared so that at least one master station has the global channel state and can obtain based on the knowledge of the instantaneous global channel state and on some given optimization criterion an optimum feedback on the channel that allows one or more of the transmitting stations to select a transmission scheme for transmitting signals to the receiver stations. The optimized feedback is sent back to one or more of the transmission stations.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a user equipment device and method for adaptively sharing channel state information and setting a distributed precoding in a multi-input multi-output system over a device-to-device communication. A plurality of user equipment devices shares the channel state information statistics with each other and cooperatively design individual channel codebooks and precoder codebooks for the device-to-device channel state information exchange. A respective precoder can then be computed and selected from the respective precoder codebook in order to maximize the signal-to-leakage-and-noise ratio. Only the portion of channel state information lying in the overlapping signal subspace is shared with each user equipment device and the shared portion of channel state information is quantized up to a resolution adaptive to the global channel state information statistics and the device-to-device signaling capacity.
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to encoding of information bit sequences by use of an encoding device having more than two encoding entities and to decoding of output codewords by a decoding device having more than two decoding entities. The encoding and the decoding are executed in view of the fact that output codewords, generated by the encoding device, are transmitted to the decoding device via a channel, via which two or more user devices transmit the respective output codewords concurrently.

Abstract:
A full duplex radio unit (2) comprising a transmission unit (3), an antenna (6), a reception unit (4), a circulator (5) and a power reduction unit (14) is provided. The transmission unit (3) is adapted to generate a first signal (20). The circulator (5) is adapted to provide the first signal (20) from the transmission unit (3) to the antenna (6). The antenna (6) is adapted to transmit the first signal (20) and simultaneously receive a second signal (21) using an identical frequency or frequency band. The circulator (5) is adapted to provide a third signal (22) to the power reduction unit (14), wherein the third signal (22) comprises the second signal (21) and interference generated from the first signal (20) by the antenna (6) and the circulator (5). The power reduction unit (14) is adapted to reduce the power of the third signal (22) by multiplying the third signal (22) by factor of p, wherein p is between zero and one, thereby generating a fourth signal (23). The reception unit (4) is adapted to receive the fourth signal (23).
