Abstract:
Data signals transmitted by a plurality of transmitting antennas over a radio channel are demodulated. The method comprises receiving (202) on a plurality of receiving antennas, a data signal and a reference signal, the contents of the reference signal being known a priori to the receiver. The contents of the reference signal are used for calculating (204) an estimated polynomial channel matrix. A polynomial pre-filter matrix is calculated (206, 208) by a decomposition of the estimated polynomial channel matrix into a product of a paraunitary polynomial matrix and an upper triangular polynomial matrix with minimum phase filters on its main diagonal, where the polynomial pre-filter matrix is obtained by calculating the paraconjugate of the paraunitary polynomial matrix. The received data signal is demodulated (212) where the received data signal is multiplied with the calculated polynomial pre-filter matrix.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a receiver circuitry and an evaluation method in a receiver circuitry for controlling a decoding of a plurality of control channel message candidates by selecting control channel message candidates based on a quality measure control channel message candidates for decoding of a received control channel message (S150). The quality measure is computed for a DMRS candidate based on an extracted signal sequence and a calculated DMRS sequence (S140).
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a user terminal (1) arranged for communication with at least one node (2) in a wireless communication network (3). The user terminal (1) is arranged to measure received signal characteristics from at least one other user terminal (4, 5) when it is transmitting signals (6, 7; 8, 9). The measured received signal characteristics are comprised in measurement data. The user terminal (1) is arranged to transfer the measurement data to said node (2) at certain times. The present invention also relates to a node (2) that is arranged to schedule transmission and reception of signals such that each user terminal (1, 4, 5) that communicates via the node (2) either transmits or receives signals to/from the node (2) at a first frequency interval. The node (2) is arranged to transmit and receive signals simultaneously at the first frequency interval. The present invention also relates to a method.

In preferred embodiments of the invention, the preamble has a cyclic prefix, or is preceded by a plurality of zero-valued symbols.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to methods and arrangements in a wireless communication system supporting cyclic-prefix insertion, using a symbol sequence comprising a number of samples for transmission over a radio channel that enables the handling of very large signal delay spreads. The symbol sequence is built up by a first symbol with CP and a second symbol with CP. The second symbol is a copy of the first symbol with the samples shifted in a way that makes the two adjacent symbols with CP match in regards to the sample order. The symbol sequence may also comprise a third symbol with CP or more, where the third symbol is a copy of the second symbol and with the samples shifted in analogy with the symbol shift described above. The resulting symbol sequence will thus appear as an extended continuous symbol thanks to the precise cyclic shift that matches adjacent symbols. This allows the receiver to place its FFT window anywhere during the extended symbol, e.g. at the end of the symbol sequence thus making it possible to handle a delay spread longer than the CP duration. It also allows to place e.g. two FFT windows and to combine the extracted signal into one SNR improved signal, while still handling a longer delay spread.
Abstract:
A baseband signal processing method for calculating a minimum phase version of a channel estimate using spectral factorization is disclosed. The method provides for a low complexity implementation of prefilters. The prefilter does not color the signal and operates as an allpass filter. Additionally, methods are described for constructing prefilters for equalization in both the forward and backward direction.
