Abstract:
A multicarrier receiver generates a quantized transmit beamformer matrix (V) for each subcarrier of a multicarrier communication channel for use by a multicarrier transmitting station. The multicarrier receiver applies a corrected receiver beamformer matrix (U H ) to received subcarriers signals generated by signals received from the transmitting station.

Abstract:
An apparatus, system, method, and article for downlink (DL) preamble processing for initial acquisition are described. The apparatus may include an autocorrelator node to determine an autocorrelation response of samples and to detect a downlink preamble based on the autocorrelation response. The samples may include a periodic sequence having two or more periods. The apparatus may include a frequency domain matched filter processing node to perform downlink preamble recognition based on a maximum peak of a frequency domain matched filter response and on an index of the downlink preamble. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for determining a channel quality indicator (CQI) to be used in link adaptation for Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) communications. In one embodiment of the invention, the CQI is based on a set of capacity values for subcarrier components in a received OFDM signal. In another embodiment, a minimum value from a running average of the set of capacity values is used to determine the CQI.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for identifying the preamble for an unknown signal received in Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) communications. In one embodiment, the preamble is identified from a set of known preambles using a detection statistic based on a generalized likelihood ratio (GLR) method. In another embodiment, the GLR detection statistic relies on a priori assumptions about a transfer function represented by the received signal.
Abstract:
In a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) multicarrier communication system, a mobile station sends a quantized time-domain representation of the channel transfer function to a base station for use by the base station in generating beamforming coefficients for use in subsequent transmissions to the mobile station. In some embodiments, the quantized time-domain representation of the channel transfer function may be generated from selected most significant rays of an initial estimated sampled channel impulse response. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.
Abstract:
Embodiments of a multicarrier receiver with interference-aware demodulation and methods for channel estimation using recursive filtering in wireless networks are generally described herein. Other embodiments may be described and claimed. In some embodiments, orders of a recursive filter are allocated to track a main channel and one or more interfering channels to generate channel estimates.
Abstract:
System and method for interference reduction in a broadband wireless access (BWA) network are disclosed. A mobile station performs a recursive process to update channel estimates of interfering channels on a symbol-by-symbol basis for use in canceling interference from data subcarriers received through two or more antennas.
Abstract:
An OFDM packet is initially detected by auto-correlating short training symbols to generate an initial packet detection signal. The initial packet detection signal may be used to initiate a coarse timing synchronization process, which may use a short symbol matched filter. A coarse timing signal may be generated from at least some of the short training symbols by correlating sampled short training symbols with short filter matched coefficients. The coarse-timing signal may be used to initiate the operation of a fine timing synchronization process, which may use a long symbol matched filter. A fine timing signal may be generated from at least some of the long training symbols by correlating sampled long training symbols with long filter-matched coefficients. The fine timing signal may be used to initiate channel estimation by performing a Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) operation on the long training symbols. The fine timing signal may also be used to initiate data signal processing using the channel estimation and may include starting an FFT operation on data symbols.
