Abstract:
In a wireless communication system, a method and apparatus for closed loop transmission is disclosed. In accordance with the preferred embodiment of th e present invention, a time frequency portion of an uplink frame is dynamicall y reserved as a sounding zone for uplink channel sounding. A first message is transmitted to a first subscriber station in a downlink frame assigning a ti me- frequency resource within the sounding zone, and a sounding waveform. Furthermore, a signal is received from the subscriber station within the assigned time-frequency resource, a partial channel response is determined from the received sounding signal, and the subsequent transmission to the subscriber station is tailored based on the at least partial channel respons e.
Abstract:
The invention provides a method of operating a coded OFDM communication system by interleaving a plurality of encoder output bits; mapping the interleaved bits to a plurality of modulated symbols; and forming a set of OFDM symbols for a plurality of transmit antennas based on the modulated symbols.
Abstract:
A receiver for implementing a training prefix modulation method in response to a reception of a signal propagating through a channel is disclosed. The signal as received includes training blocks (22a, 22b', 22c') with each training block having a data inter-block-interference (25a, 25b) therein, and data blocks (23a', 23b', 23c') with each data block having a training inter-block-interference therein. The signal is selectively reconstructed to provide a circular appearance of the channel over the data blocks. Specifically, an estimate of the training inter-block-interferences is generated and subtracted from the data blocks. And, an estimate of the data inter-block interferences is generated and added to the data blocks.
Abstract:
Pilot sequences are constructed from distinct 'classes' of chirp sequences that have an optimal cross correlation property. Utilization of chirp sequences for pilot sequences results in pilot sequences that have optimal or nearly-optimal cross correlation and auto-correlation properties.
Abstract:
An Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing communication system (200) is provided that schedules a transmission of uplink sounding signals or channel quality feedback signals in sounding intervals (552), or sounding zones (560), that are outside of the sub-frames (510, 520, 530), thereby preserving sub-frame capacity for other overhead and data transmissions.
Abstract:
A generalized form of cyclic shift diversity is described for use in an OFDM system with multiple transmit antennas. Multiple cyclic shifts are performed for each transmit antenna and the shifted signals are scaled and summed to form a time-domain data stream for each transmit antenna. A cyclic extension is added to each data stream prior to transmission.
Abstract:
A method and a system for calibrating at least one antenna (1,1-1,3. 1,j). At least a first antenna (1,4) within a first antenna array (102) can be selected as a primary reference antenna. At least one antenna (4,3) that is not within the first antenna array can be selected as a secondary reference antenna. At least a first signal propagation characteristic (122) can be measured based on at least one signal wirelessly communicated between the primary reference antenna and the secondary reference antenna. At least a second signal propagation characteristic (118) can be measured based on at least one signal wirelessly communicated between the secondary reference antenna and at least a second antenna (1,2) within the first antenna array. At least a first calibration coefficient can be determined for the second antenna.
Abstract:
A method for communicating channel estimates on a plurality of subcarriers between a transmitting device and a receiving device. The transmitting device determines a channel estimates on a plurality of subcarriers and then encodes the channel estimates into at least one encoded channel waveform. Then the transmitting device transmits the at least one encoded channel waveform to the receiving device.
