Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for transmitting data to a plurality of receivers in a communication system. SOLUTION: The method includes: updating a parameter of a first set used for schedule of data transmission; deciding the priority of the data transmission; allocating data transmission to respective usable channel based in part on at least the priority of the data transmission; updating a parameter of a second set used for transmission of the data transmission; and transmitting the data to a plurality of receivers at a channel allocated by using a second set of the updated parameter. The parameter of first set is a channel occupation possibility, a load possibility, a carrier to interference plus noise (C/I) of the receiver or back-off-factors, or a combination of the above. Deciding the priority includes an operation of calculating the amount of channel of channel usable by each receiver by using the updated parameter of the first set. COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and an instrument for measuring channel condition information and reporting; in a high efficiency communications system. SOLUTION: A channel condition information (CSI) can be used by the communications system between a transmitting device and a receiving device for preparatory condition transmission. A group of subchannels, having no element in common, are assigned to a transmitting antenna, of which the source position of the transmitting device is decided. A pilot symbol is formed in a subset of a subchannel having no elements in common and is transmitted. When the receiving device receives the transmitted pilot symbol, it decides CSI for the subchannel having no elements in common, which has reported the pilot symbol. The amount of information required for reporting to CSI on a reverse link can be further minimized via a compression technology and a resource allocation technology. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide techniques for implementing a multiple-access hybrid OFDM-CDMA system that may be used to provide wireless voice and/or data communications. SOLUTION: In one aspect of a multiple-access OFDM-CDMA system, data spreading is performed in a frequency domain by spreading each data stream with a respective spreading code selected from a set of available spreading codes. To support multiple access, system resources may be allocated and de-allocated to users (e.g., spreading codes may be assigned to users as needed, and transmit power may be allocated to users). Variable rate data for each user may be supported via a combination of spreading adjustment and transmit power scaling. Interference control techniques are also provided to improve system performance via power control of downlink and/or uplink transmissions to achieve the desired level of performance while minimizing interference. A pilot may be transmitted by each transmitter unit to assist the receiver units perform acquisition, timing synchronization, carrier recovery, handoff, channel estimation, coherent data demodulation, and so on.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide techniques for transmitting data from a transmitter unit to a receiver unit in a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) communication system. SOLUTION: In one method, at the receiver unit, a number of signals are received via a number of receive antennas, the received signal is received from the transmitter unit. The received signals are processed to derive channel state information (CSI) indicative of characteristics of a number of transmission channels used for data transmission. The CSI is transmitted back to the transmitter unit. At the transmitter unit, the CSI from the receiver unit is received and data for transmission to the receiver unit are processed based on the received CSI. COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and system for processing data for transmission in a multi-channel communication system using selective channel transmission. SOLUTION: Transmission channels available for use in data transmission are separated into one or more groups, in which each group includes the arbitrary number of channels. With selective channel transmission, only "good" channels in each group are selected, "bad" channels are not used, and the total available transmit power for the group is distributed across only the good channels. Each group may also be associated with a respective coding and modulation scheme, and data for each group may also be coded and modulated based on the scheme selected for the group.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and apparatus for measuring and reporting channel state information in a high efficiency, high performance communications system.SOLUTION: Channel state information (CSI) can be used by a communications system 100 for precondition transmissions between transmitter units and receiver units. Disjoint sub-channel sets are assigned to transmit antennas located at a transmitter unit. Pilot symbols are generated and transmitted on a subset of the disjoint sub-channels. Upon receipt of the transmitted pilot symbols, the receiver units determine the CSI for the disjoint sub-channels that carried pilot symbols. The amount of information necessary to report CSI on the reverse link can be further minimized through compression techniques and resource allocation techniques.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a technique for transmitting data using a number of diversity transmission modes to improve reliability. SOLUTION: At a transmitter, for each of one or more data streams, a particular diversity transmission mode is selected for use from among a number of possible transmission modes. These transmission modes may include a frequency diversity transmission mode, a Walsh diversity transmission mode, a space time transmit diversity (STTD) transmission mode, and a Walsh-STTD transmission mode. Each diversity transmission mode redundantly transmits data over a time, a frequency, a space, or a combination thereof. Each data stream is coded and modulated to provide modulation symbols which are further processed based on the selected diversity transmission mode to provide transmit symbols. For OFDM, the transmit symbols for all data streams are further OFDM modulated to provide a stream of transmission symbols for each transmit antenna used for data transmission.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide techniques to transmit data on a number of transmission channels in a multi-channel communication system using multiple transmission schemes requiring less channel-state information (CSI). SOLUTION: These schemes may also include a partial-CSI transmission scheme that transmits a single data stream on each transmit antenna selected for use and a "beam-forming" transmission scheme that allocates all transmit power to a single transmission channel having the best performance. Each transmission scheme may provide good or near-optimum performance for a specific range of operating conditions (or operating SNRs). These multiple transmission schemes may then be combined by division to form a "multi-mode" transmission scheme that covers the full range of operating conditions supported by the MIMO system.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a technique for controlling power to transmit a plurality of data flows in a radio multiple channel (e.g., MIMO) communication system. SOLUTION: A plurality of received symbol flows are processed according to a specific receiver processing technology (e.g., CCMI, CCMI-SC, MMSE or MMSE-SC) to first give a plurality of detected data flows. Post-detection SNRs of the detected data flows are evaluated and respective SNRs exceeding a set point is identified. This set point is correspondent to (1) an SNR required to obtain a maximum permissible spectral efficiency or (2) a target SNR required to obtain a specified spectral efficiency. A new (or adjusted) transmission power of each detected data flow related to the post-detection SNR exceeding the set point is determined and applied to the data flow. A different power control method is applied to a class of different receiver processing technique having a different characteristic. COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT
