Abstract:
Cyclic-shift diversity transmission and optional per-subcarrier transmit beamforming within a same time interval (e.g., OFDM symbol interval) takes place. The CSD transmission technique circularly shifts the IFFT output prior to any cyclic prefix insertion and has the effect of putting a subcarrier and antenna dependent phase shift in the effective channel response from each transmit antenna. To properly perform transmit adaptive array (TXAA) transmission within an OFDM symbol interval that is being circularly shifted by the CSD transmission technique, the TXAA weights will account for the frequency domain phase shift created by the CSD circular shift operation.
Abstract:
A method for reducing interference within a communication system is provided herein. A receiver (100), and method for operating a receiver are provided. The receiver operates by utilizing a filter bank (103-104) to partition a wide-band signal into smaller sub-bands. Interference suppression takes place individually on the sub-bands (frequency bands) instead of on the wideband signal as a whole. By using interference suppression on smaller sub-bands, interference suppression techniques can be utilized with less computational complexity than when performing interference suppression on the broadband signal as a whole.

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 system [100] includes a base station [105] to communicate wireless data with at least one user terminal [125, 130] within a cell serviced by the base station [105]. A central backhaul access point [135] communicates wireless backhaul data with the base station [105]. At least a first portion of the wireless data and a second portion of the wireless backhaul data is communicated via Spatial Division Multiple Access ("SDMA"), and the first portion of the wireless data utilizes at least some same time-frequency resources as the second portion of the wireless backhaul data.
Abstract:
In a multiple-input, multiple-output (MIMO) communication system, a method and apparatus for multi-antenna transmission. In accordance with the preferred embodiment of the present invention a reduced number of transmit weight matrices are fed back to the transmitter. Each transmit weight matrix is then applied to a plurality of subcarriers. Because each transmit weight matrix is applied to more than one subcarrier, the amount of weight matrixs being fed back to the transmitter is greatly reduced.

Abstract:
Specifically, a method and system are provided that performs MIMO and beamforming at a base station (102) based on an uplink channel sounding (ULCS) from only one of a mobile station's (130) antennas (132, 134) and closed-loop multiple input, multiple output (MIMO) schemes based on the singular value decomposition (SVD) of the channel matrix. The ULCS is limited to sounding and the channel uses fewer than an optimal number of transmit antennas, for example, one for WiMAX. The base station's array (118, 120, 122, 124) may be configured for a full array transmitting mode (800, 900) or a sub-array transmitting mode (1200, 1300).
