Abstract:
Multi-antenna transmission control presented herein involves generating a set of virtual channel realizations at the transmitter that shares the same second-order statistics as the actual channel realizations observed for a targeted receiver. By making the control-related quantities of interest at the transmitter depend on the long-term statistics of the channel, the actual channel realizations are not needed for transmission control, e.g., for accurate Multiple-Input-Multiple-Output (MIMO) preceding. As such, the use of virtual channel realizations enables transmission control that approaches the "closed-loop" channel capacity that would be provided by full feedback of the (instantaneous) actual channel realizations, without requiring the overhead signaling burden that attends full feedback.
Abstract:
The proposed technology provides a computationally efficient way to find suitable routes under consideration of multiple metrics. The considered multi-hop network is represented by a connected graph having nodes and links interconnecting the nodes. The method comprises the step (S1) of obtaining a value of a reference route between a source node and a destination node in the connected graph according a first routing metric. The method further comprises the step (S2) of modifying, based on the value of the reference route according to the first routing metric, the connected graph by modifying link cost, with respect to a second routing metric, of at least one link in the connected graph. The method also comprises the step (S3) of determining at least part of a route between the source node and the destination node in the modified connected graph, based on the modified link cost, according to the second routing metric.
Abstract:
Methods and devices for generating training symbols to be transmitted in a radio network are provided for a radio system where multiple users are sharing the same transmission slot. The method involves forming a sequence of training symbols by repeating an initial block of training symbols and for each user rotating the repeated block by a user specific rotation angle. A rotated block is periodically extended in both ends.
Abstract:
A wireless communication device uses a time-invariant delay-Doppler channel response estimate for received signal demodulation. The device provides coherent signal demodulation by accounting for frequency and time selectivity in a land-based mobile communication environment, which arise mainly because of delay and Doppler shifts, respectively. In one embodiment, the wireless communication device includes a channel estimator that estimates channel response in a wireless communication network by estimating a delay-Doppler response of a wireless communication channel to obtain a delay-Doppler channel response estimate and converting the delay-Doppler channel response estimate to a time-varying channel response estimate, e.g., a time-varying frequency or impulse response. The delay-Doppler response may be estimated in a continuous or discrete domain. In one embodiment, the channel estimator includes a delay-Doppler correlator that measures the delay-Doppler response by observing a response of a wireless communication channel to a pilot signal and converting the observed response to a delay-Doppler domain.
Abstract:
A method of equalizing a received signal compensates for frequency selectivity of the communication channel taking into account channel estimation errors. The method comprises generating channel estimates for the received signal, computing filter weights for an equalizer based on said channel estimates and a covariance of the channel estimation error, and filtering the received signal using the computed filter weights.
Abstract:
In a distributed antenna system that includes a plurality of transmitters and a controller, a method, performed by the controller, may be characterized by performing dirty-paper coding on downlink transmissions to users based on an order of the users, calculating beamforming vectors to provide that each of the downlink transmissions associated with each of the users does not interfere with other users, and maximizing, based on the calculated beamforming vectors, a data rate subject to a power constraint of the distributed antenna system.
