Abstract:
K data signals, or bursts, are transmitted over a shared spectrum in a code division multiple access communication format. A combined signal is received and sampled over the shared spectrum, as a plurality of received vector versions. The combined signal includes the K transmitted data signals. A plurality of system matrices and an associated covariance matrix using codes and estimated impulse responses of the K data signals is produced. Each system matrix corresponds to a received vector version. The system and covariance matrices are extended and approximated as block circulant matrices. A diagonal matrix of each of the extended and approximated system and covariance matrices are determined by prime factor algorithm - fast Fourier transform (PFA-FFT) without division of the matrix. The received vector versions are extended. A product of the diagonal matrices and the extended received vector versions is taken. An inverse block discrete Fourier transform is performed by a PFA-FFT on a result of the product to produce the estimated data of the K data signals.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for combining space-frequency block coding (SFBC), spatial multiplexing (SM) and beamforming in a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) orthogonal frequency division mutliplexing (OFDM) system. The system inlcudes a transmitter (110) with a plurality of transmit antennas (126) and a receiver (130) with a plurality of receive antennas (128). The transmitter generates generates at least one data stream and plurality of spatial streams (118). The number of generated spatial streams is based on the number of the transmit antennas and the number of the receive antennas. The transmitter determines a transmission scheme in accordance with at least one of SFBC (112), SM (114), and beam forming (122). The transmitter transmits data in the data stream to the receiver based on the selected transmission scheme.
Abstract:
The present invention is related to a method and apparatus for implementing space frequency block coding (SFBC) in an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) wireless communication system. The present invention is applicable to both a closed loop mode and an open loop mode. In the closed loop mode, power loading and eigen-beamforming are performed based on channel state information (CSI). A channel coded data stream is multiplexed into two or more data streams. Power loading is performed based on the CSI on each of the multiplexed data streams. SFBC encoding is performed on the data streams for each of the paired subcarriers. Then, eigen-beamforming is performed based on the CSI to distribute eigenbeams to multiple transmit antennas. The power loading may be performed on two or more SFBC encoding blocks or on each eigenmodes. Additionally, the power loading may be performed across subcarriers or subcarrier groups for weak eigenmodes.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus is disclosed for reducing multi-user processing at the receiver (22) in wireless communication systems. Detected codes (32) are grouped according to channel impulse response and a parent code (36) is identified for each group of detected codes. A matrix A (40) is constructed and joint detection (42) is performed using the identified parent codes. Data symbols of the detected codes are obtained from the data symbols of the identified parent codes.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for estimating channelization codes in a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) using blind code detection (BCD). A WTRU receives communication bursts and detects a midamble [302] in the received burst. A candidate code list [304] is generated in accordance with the detected midamble. The candidate code list includes channelization codes intended for both the intended WTRU and other WTRUs [304]. Active channelization codes among the codes in the candidate list are identified, and the identified codes are forward to a multi-user detector (MUD) [308], The present invention resolves SF ambiguity in the download of TSM. Since the orthogonal variable spreading factor code maintains the orthogonal between codes of different SF, SFs of other WTRUs follow the SF of the inteneded WTRU. Moreover, since the data for other WTRUs is not used in symbol processing after MUD, the performance of MUD of the intended WTRU is preserved with the SF ambiguity of othter WTRUs.
