Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for transmitting pilot signals used for measuring and reporting channel state information, CSI, in a multiple input/multiple output, MIMO, system, comprising: generating a pilot sequence by using a maximal-length shift register sequence, m-sequence; assigning a different shift to multiple transmit antennas, wherein the value of the shift is dependent on at least one characteristic of the communication channel; generating a pilot signal at each transmit antenna by shifting the pilot sequence by the value specified by the shift; and transmitting the pilot signal via the transmit antenna.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for transmitting in a multi-antenna communication system (100). Each of a plurality of antennas (116,122) are assigned with a different one of a plurality of groups of sub-bands. The plurality of groups of sub-bands each include a different sub-set of the plurality of sub-bands, where the plurality of sub-bands of a first group are non-contiguous. Transmitting from the plurality of antennas (116) and simultaneously using the plurality of groups of sub-bands, where transmitting from each antenna (116) occurs on the group of sub-bands assigned to the antenna (116). A base station for use in the multi-antenna communication system (100) including a first processor (332) for pre-conditioning transmission data, assigning a plurality of pilot symbols to the plurality of transmit antennas (116), and assigning a plurality of sub-channel sub-sets to the plurality of antennas (116). The plurality of antennas (116) transmit each of the assigned plurality of pilot symbols over their respectiven assigned sub-channel sub-sets.

Abstract:
Method and apparatus are disclosed to allow non-wireless transmission or reception of data from one device to at least another device. More particularly, in one embodiment, a jack of a first device is configured to receive incoming analog signals encoded with digital data from the second device and to transmit outgoing analog signals encoded with digital data to the second device. The first device may also comprise a first conversion unit configured to encode digital data into the outgoing analog signals and a second conversion unit configured to recover digital data from the incoming analog signals.
Abstract:
A ground station antenna including a torus shaped reflector having multiple feed points along a focal arc in front of the reflector. The ground station antenna includes transceiver feeds having their electrical phase centers located on the focal arc and supported by a rotating feed platform. The transceiver feeds are configured to simultaneously track rising and falling satellites when the platform rotates. The ground station antenna further includes a wireless power receiver coupled to the transceiver feeds to power the transceiver feeds. The ground station antenna further includes a wireless signal interface coupled to the transceiver feeds to communicate signals with a base unit to perform subsequent processing.
