Abstract:
The present invention is related to a method and apparatus for implementing space frequency block coding (SFBC) in an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) wireless communication system. The present invention is applicable to both a closed loop mode and an open loop mode. In the closed loop mode, power loading and eigen-beamforming are performed based on channel state information (CSI). A channel coded data stream is multiplexed into two or more data streams. Power loading is performed based on the CSI on each of the multiplexed data streams. SFBC encoding is performed on the data streams for each of the paired subcarriers. Then, eigen-beamforming is performed based on the CSI to distribute eigenbeams to multiple transmit antennas. The power loading may be performed on two or more SFBC encoding blocks or on each eigenmodes. Additionally, the power loading may be performed across subcarriers or subcarrier groups for weak eigenmodes.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for decomposing a channel matrix in a wireless communication system are disclosed. A channel matrix H is generated for channels between transmit antennas and receive antennas (202). A Heπnitian matrix A=HHH or A=HHn is created (204). A Jacobi process is cyclically performed on the matrix A to obtain Q and DA matrixes such that A=QDAQH (206). DA is a diagonal matrix obtained by singular value decomposition (SVD) on the A matrix. In each Jacobi transformation, real part diagonalization is performed to annihilate real parts of off-diagonal elements of the matrix and imaginary part diagonalization is performed to annihilate imaginary parts of off -diagonal elements of the matrix after the real part diagonalization. U, V and DH matrixes of H matrix are then calculated from the Q and DA matrices. DH is a diagonal matrix comprising singular values of the H matrix (208).
Abstract:
A system, components and methods provide FEC decoding in a wireless communication system in which signal to noise ratio estimation is used for scaling (18) information captured by a demodulator (14) in processing received wireless communication signals (12). A preferred wireless transmit unit (WRTU) has a channel rate estimation device (23) configured to process the received communication signals for the particular communication channel and to produce channel change rate estimates. A signal to noise ratio (SNR) estimation device (16) of the WRTU is configured to produce SNR estimates based on observation windows of a calculated number of samples of the received signal where the number of samples used for each observation window is calculated (25) as a function of the channel change rate estimates produced by the channel rate estimation device (23).

Abstract:
A method and apparatus for optimizing the system capacity of an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) system that uses with Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) antennas. In a receiver, a target quality of service (QoS) metric and reference data rate are set. The target QoS metric may be set to a predetermined value and/or may be adjusted dynamically with respect to packet error rate (PER) by a slow outer-loop control processor. The QoS of received signals are measured and compared to the target QoS. Depending on the comparison, the receiver generates a channel quality indicator (CQI) which is sent back to the transmitting transmitter. The CQI is a one or two bit indicator which indicates to the transmitter to disable, adjust or maintain data transmission rates of particular sub-carriers, groups of sub-carriers per transmit antenna, or groups of sub-carriers across all transmit antennas. At the transmitter, the transmitted data rate is disabled, adjusted or maintained. At the receiver, the target QoS metric and reference data rate are adjusted accordingly. This process is repeated for each data frame of each sub-carrier group.
