Abstract:
A system, method and device for error detection/estimation in OFDM communications systems is proposed. The disclosed mechanism allows an efficient error prediction in a received data block (e.g. a packet) without using error detection codes that may impair spectral efficiency (due to the overhead) especially when very small size packets are used. In order to do that, it generates a decision variable with the aim to check whether a received block has errors or not, without resorting to the use of error-detection codes.

The method comprising at least one user device provided with at least four antennas, wirelessly connected to a serving base station having between one and four transmit antennas and suffering interferences from at least one interfering base station having between one and four transmit antennas, establishing a data transmission link among a plurality of antennas, and: applying a time shift delay between said serving base station and said at least one interfering base station in order to avoid collision between Cell Reference Signals (CRS) of serving and interfering base stations when said data transmission is established; and introducing changes on the physical layer for PDSCH transmission and reception aimed at achieving inter-layer interference cancellation, said changes introduced comprising the introduction of a pattern of transmission gaps at symbols (l) and subcarrier indices (k) of interfering cell's CRS signals, which will be exploited by said at least one user device for effective interference cancellation.
Abstract:
A system, method and device to overcome the effects of mobility in OFDM wireless cellular networks. Individual beams are isolated and Doppler impairments are compensated so the constituent beams can reach the users in DL with ideally no Doppler impairments. Similarly in UL the signals corresponding to the different spatial beams are detected and their Doppler impairments compensated.

The method comprising estimating, at least one wireless user device (UE) its own velocity from at least one downlink pilot signal being transmitted by any base station from a plurality of different base stations, and further comprising: - broadcasting each one of said plurality of different base stations a parameter relative to its own cell size; - performing said at least one wireless user device in idle mode cell selections and reselections based on said plurality of base station cell size parameters received and said at least one wireless user device estimated velocity; and - reporting, said at least one wireless user device in connected mode, said estimated velocity and cell sizes of neighboring base stations to a serving base station in order to perform handovers based on said reported estimated velocity and said neighboring base station cell sizes.
Abstract:
A system, method and device for error detection/estimation in OFDM communications systems is proposed. The disclosed mechanism allows an efficient error prediction in a received packet, without having to perform full FEC decoding of the packet that could impair the overall latency of the system due to the time spent in a complete FEC decoding of the packet. In order to do that, it generates a decision variable with the aim to check whether a received packet has errors or not, after performing only partial FEC decoding of the packet, without either resorting to the use of error-detection codes.
