Abstract:
A multiple access, spread-spectrum communication system processes a plurality of information signals received by a Radio Carrier Station (RCS) over telecommunication lines for simultaneous transmission over a radio frequency (RF) channel as a code-division-multiplexed (CDM) signal to a group of Subscriber Units (SUs). The RCS receives a call request signal that corresponds to a telecommunication line information signal, and a user identification signal that identifies a user to receive the call. The RCS includes a plurality of Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) modems, one of which provides a global pilot code signal. The modems provide message code signals synchronized to the global pilot signal. Each modem combines an information signal with a message code signal to provide a CDM processed signal. The RCS includes a system channel controller coupled to receive a remote call. An RF transmitter is connected to all of the modems to combine the CDM processed signals with the global pilot code signal to generate a CDM signal. The RF transmitter also modulates a carrier signal with the CDM signal and transmits the modulated carrier signal through an RF communication channel to the SUs. Each SU includes a CDMA modem which is also synchronized to the global pilot signal. The CDMA modem despreads the CDM signal and provides a despread information signal to the user. The system includes a closed loop power control system for maintaining a minimum system transmit power level for the RCS and the SUs, and system capacity management for maintaining a maximum number of active SUs for improved system performance.

Abstract:
The invention relates to a method and a transmitter for transmitting data using multiple-input multiple-output, MIMO, orthogonal frequency division multiplexing, OFDM, the method comprising: a transmitter generating at least one input data stream; the transmitter generating a plurality of spatial streams; the transmitter determining a transmission coding scheme, and processing the input data stream in accordance with the transmission coding scheme to generate at least two spatial streams, the transmission coding scheme being one of spatial multiplexing, SM, without frequency diversity, FD, wherein one data symbol is sent per one sub-carrier for each spatial stream; and the transmitter transmitting the at least two spatial streams via the generated spatial streams.
Abstract:
A transmitter (200) splits a user-data stream into a plurality of sub-streams (2011-201n). The transmitter (200) then adaptively select a modulation scheme and coding rate for each of the sub-streams based on current channel conditions. Next, a plurality of sub-carrier (2111 -211n) are modulated and encoded with the sub-stream data according to the selected modulation schemes and coding rates. The modulated sub-carriers are each allocated to one or more transmit antennas (2201-221n) for transmission. Prior to transmission, a transmission power for each of the sub-carriers is adjusted based on the channel conditions.
Abstract:
A transmission is simultaneously provided on multiple mesh networks. Retransmission between two nodes (41, 42) may be performed for the same communication along multiple networks in a mesh topography for the multiple networks (13, 23). This permits communication to be effected in a mesh topography where one or all systems would not be able to provide a complete network connection within any given system.
Abstract:
A first detector receives a received signal and extracts the data signals from the received signal. A hard decision converter converts soft symbols outputted by the first detector into hard symbols. An interference canceller extracts the voice signals from the received signal. A second detector is connected to the output of the interference canceller, and extracts the individual voice signals. The second detector is a different detector type than the first detector.
