Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide techniques to support simultaneous transmissions for more terminals in a multiple-access system. SOLUTION: In a single-carrier frequency division multiple access (SC-FDMA) system that utilizes interleaved FDMA (IFDMA) or localized FDMA, transmitters may transmit their pilots, which are orthogonal to one another, using time division multiplexing (TDM), code division multiplexing (CDM), interleaved frequency division multiplexing (IFDM) or localized frequency division multiplexing (LFDMA). A receiver performs the complementary demultiplexing (non-multiplexing) for the pilots and may derive a channel estimate for each transmitter using an MMSE technique or a least-square technique. Data transmissions sent on the same time-frequency block are separated by spatial filter matrices. The spatial filter matrices are derived based on the channel estimates and using zero-forcing, MMSE, or maximal ratio combining technique. COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a technique for efficiently designing random hopping patterns in a communications system.SOLUTION: In this method, random hopping patterns are generated, the patterns are frequently updated, different patterns are generated for different cells/sectors, and patterns of nearby sub-carriers are generated for block hopping. A first number of sub-carriers are determined. A second number of hop ports are determined. A third number of seeds are determined. At least one hopping pattern is generated based on the first number of sub-carriers, the second number of hop ports and the third number of seeds.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To minimize the amount of pilots to be acquired by both base stations and terminals. SOLUTION: A base station transmits a TDM pilot 1 having multiple instances of a pilot-1 sequence generated with a PN1 sequence and a TDM pilot 2 having at least one instance of a pilot-2 sequence generated with a PN2 sequence. Each base station is assigned a specific PN2 sequence that uniquely identifies that base station. A terminal uses TDM pilot 1 to detect the presence of a signal and uses TDM pilot 2 to discriminate base stations and obtain accurate timing. For signal detection, the terminal performs delayed correlation on received samples, performs direct correlation on the received samples with PN1 sequences for K 1 different time offsets and identifies K 2 strongest TDM pilot-1 instances. For time synchronization, the terminal performs direct correlation on the received samples with PN2 sequences to detect TDM pilot 2. COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
Techniques for multiplexing and transmitting multiple data streams are described. Transmission of the multiple data streams occurs in "super-frames". Each super-frame has a predetermined time duration and is further divided into multiple (e.g., four) frames. Each data block for each data stream is outer encoded to generate a corresponding code block. Each code block is partitioned into multiple subblocks, and each data packet in each code block is inner encoded and modulated to generate modulation symbols for the packet. The multiple subblocks for each code block are transmitted in the multiple frames of the same super-frame, one subblock per frame. Each data stream is allocated a number of transmission units in each super-frame and is assigned specific transmission units to achieve efficient packing. A wireless device can select and receive individual data streams.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described that provide for reduced timing between certain downlink communications and responsive uplink communications relative to certain legacy systems (e.g., legacy LTE systems). A user equipment (UE) or base station may be capable of operating using two or more timing configurations that each include an associated time period between receipt of a downlink communication (e.g., a grant of uplink resources or shared channel data) and a responsive uplink communication (e.g., an uplink transmission using the granted uplink resources or feedback of successful reception of the shared channel data). In cases where a UE or base station are capable of two or more timing configurations, a timing configuration for a transmission may be determined and the responsive uplink communication transmitted according to the determined timing configuration.
