Abstract: A radio channel estimation technique is described for use in a OFDM-based radio communications system. A block of OFDM symbols is transmitted from multiple antennas over multiple sub-carrier frequencies. The block of OFDM symbols includes known pilot symbols as well as data symbols to be determined by a receiver. The pilot symbols are transmitted in a predetermined pattern at periodic times on periodic sub-carriers. A pilot channel estimate is determined for each pilot symbol in the received block of OFDM symbols. An NxM matrix of points corresponding to the received OFDM symbol block is formed, N is the number of sub-carriers and M is the number of OFDM symbols in the OFDM symbol block. The matrix is formed by inserting pilot channel estimates at predetermined positions in the Nx M matrix according to the predetermined pilot pattern and inserting zeros in remaining positions in the NxM matrix. A two dimensional inverse Fourier transform of the N x M matrix is calculated resulting in multiple copies of a channel estimate in the time domain. One is selected, and a two dimensional Fourier transform of the selected channel estimate is calculated to obtain a channel estimate at each point in the OFDM block.

Abstract: A radio base station includes multiple antennas associated with a cell. Multiple mobile radios are selected to receive transmissions over a shared radio channel during a predetermined time interval. Information is transmitted over the shared radio channel to multiple mobile radios in the cell during the predetermined time interval using multiple antenna beams. As a result, interference from the transmission appears as white additive Gaussian noise in time and in space in the cell. A "flashlight effect" caused by a single beam transmission over the shared channel during a predetermined time interval that would normally detrimentally impact mobile channel quality detection is avoided. Other methods for avoiding the flashlight effect are described.

Abstract: There is described a method for use in a transmitter (12) having multiple antennas (A1, A2) in an OFDM-based radio communications system, comprising determining one or more known pilot symbols. The method comprises the steps of determining a periodic pilot transmission pattern, forming a block of OFDM symbols that includes the one or more pilot symbols and data symbols in accordance with a predetermined pattern, using a space-time coder to perform space and time coding by assigning certain ones of the OFDM symbols to be transmitted during a particular time slot from a selected one the multiple antennas to provide an associated OFDM symbol stream to each of the multiple antennas, and transmitting each OFDM symbol stream from its association antenna. The space-time coder provides a first OFDM symbol stream of multiple symbols in a first sequential order to a first antenna for transmission during a first time slot and provides a second OFDM symbol stream of the same multiple symbols in a second sequential order different from the first sequential order to a second antenna.
