Abstract:
Precoding feedback scheme based on Jacobi rotations to generate the feedback in the uplink. For a wireless communication system including a transmitter and a receiver. The system may use either a single codeword (SOW) or a double codeword (DCW). The precoding scheme is based on transmit beamforming (TxBF). Differential feedback is considered, with periodic non-differential feedback to avoid error accumulation or propagation due to differential processing.

Abstract:
A method and system for implementing multi-user virtual multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) techniques for wireless transmit/receive units (WTRUs) having one or more antennas are disclosed. The system includes a base station and at least one WTRU having at least two antennas. The number of antennas of the base station is not less than the number of antennas of any of the WTRUs. The base station generates a channel matrix for the WTRUs and processes received signals from the WTRUs based on a measurement of the channel matrix. The WTRUs may perform transmit precoding or eigen-beamforming using the channel matrix information. The WTRUs may also perform transmit diversity.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for scaling a soft bit for decoding in a wireless communication system are described. A scaling factor is calculated for a received symbol based'on an estimated signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the received symbol and the scaling factor is applied to a soft bit of the received symbol. A multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) scheme may be implemented to transmit multiple data streams. In such case, a soft bit of a received symbol on each data stream is scaled by a scaling factor for the received symbol on each data stream.
Abstract:
An automatic gain control (AGC) method according to the present invention applies an initial gain by a digital AGC circuit (13) in a timeslot is determined using a final calculated gain from the same timeslot in the previous frame together with an offset factor. An erase function (14) is activated for a given data sample block when the number of saturated data samples that are detected within the block (17) exceeds a threshold value. The power measurement made by the AGC circuit and used to update the gain is adjusted based on the number of measured data samples that are saturated. These elements provide a gain limiting function and allows limiting of the dynamic range for further signal processing.
Abstract:
A method and system for performing initial cell search in wireless communication system wherein unsuitable cells are excluded is disclosed. Stored frequencies are searched exhaustively and initial frequencies are search non-exhaustively. Initial frequencies may be searched exhaustively in certain circumstances. When performing exhaustive initial cell searches, primary synchronization codes that lead to unsuitable cells are excluded from subsequent initial cell searches performed on the same frequency.

Data from a plurality of communications is transmitted in a code division multiple access communication system. The transmitted communications are received. Gain factors are determined for at least one of the received communications. Data of the received communications is detected using a scaling factor derived from the determined gain values.

Abstract:
The transmission and decoding of resource blocks (RBs) transmitted via a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) antenna having a plurality of transmit antennas is disclosed. Each RB includes a plurality of resource elements (REs). Each RE is reserved for one of a common reference signal (CRS) associated with one of the transmit antennas, a dedicated reference signal (DRS) including a single beamformed or precoded pilot, a DRS including a composite beamformed or precoded pilot, and a data symbol. Each RB may include a "control type" data symbol that indicates a DRS mode associated with the RB. In one DRS mode, each DRS includes a single beamformed or precoded pilot. In another DRS mode, each DRS includes a composite beamformed or precoded pilot. In yet another DRS mode, single beamformed or precoded pilots, and composite beamformed or precoded pilots, may coexist and be transmitted simultaneously within the same RBs or in different RBs.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for reducing a peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) in a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) wireless communication system are disclosed. Transmit beamforming or precoding is performed on transmit symbols based on a channel matrix. For feedback, channel matrices may be averaged over multiple subcarriers and the averaged channel matrices may be further quantized. In order to reduce the PAPR, amplitude clipping may be performed on the symbols after the transmit processing. The amplitude clipping may be performed by hard clipping, soft clipping, or smooth clipping.
Abstract:
A method and system is disclosed for enhancing reception of wireless communication signals. A beam pattern including at least one set of beams is generated. Where the beam pattern includes at least two sets of beams, the beam sets may be offset with respect to each other and alternated to enhance reception. Beams may be selected for data processing based on a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and may be maximal-ratio combined where signals from a single WTRU are detected within more than one beam and are used for data processing.
