PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide time-domain transmit and receive processing using channel eigen-mode decomposition for MIMO systems. SOLUTION: In an aspect, a time-domain implementation is provided which uses frequency-domain singular value decomposition and "water-pouring" results to derive time-domain pulse-shaping and beam-steering solutions at the transmitter and receiver. The singular value decomposition is performed at the transmitter to determine THE eigen-modes (i.e., spatial subchannels) of the MIMO channel and to derive a first set of steering vectors used to "precondition" modulation symbols. The singular value decomposition is also performed at the receiver to derive a second set of steering vectors used to precondition the received signals, such that orthogonal symbol streams are recovered at the receiver, which can simplify the receiver processing.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and an apparatus for generating code words with variable length and redundancy from a single low-density parity check (LDPC) code with variable-length input words. SOLUTION: A mother code for encoding data words is generated based on a parity check matrix, and the mother code is adjusted to reflect the size of the data word to be encoded. A generator matrix applies the mother code to the data words to produce a code words for transmission. A reduction criteria is determined and the size of the generator matrix is reduced accordingly. At a receiver, a corresponding parity check matrix is applied to decode the received code word. COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a novel and improved method and apparatus for processing data for transmission in a wireless communication system using selective channel inversion. SOLUTION: The method includes: coding data based on a common coding and modulation scheme to provide modulation symbols; and pre-weighting the modulation symbols for each selected channel based on the channel's characteristics. The pre-weighting may be achieved by "inverting" the selected channels so that the received SNRs are approximately similar for all selected channels. With selective channel inversion, only channels having SNRs above a particular threshold are selected, "bad" channels are not used, and the total available transmit power is distributed across only "good" channels.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an effective coding and modulation scheme capable of processing data before transmission on a channel. SOLUTION: Data are coded on the basis of a common coding and modulation scheme to provide modulation symbols and the modulation symbols for each selected channel are pre-weighted on the basis of channel's characteristics. The pre-weighting may be achieved by "inverting" the selected channels so that the received SNRs are approximately similar for all selected channels. With selective channel inversion, only channels having SNRs at or above a particular threshold are selected, "bad" channels are not used, and the total available transmit power is distributed across only "good" channels. Improved performance is achieved due to the combined benefits of using only the Ns best channels and matching the received SNR of each selected channel to the SNR required by the selected coding and modulation scheme.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide techniques with which beam-steering and beam-forming are performed so as to transmit data on a single eigenmode in a wideband multiple-input channel. SOLUTION: Depending on how steering vectors are defined, beam-steering or beam-forming is achieved for each subband. Total transmit power is allocated to the subbands on the basis of a particular power allocation scheme (e.g., full channel inversion, selective channel inversion, water-filling or uniform). A scaling value is then obtained for each subband on the basis of its allocated transmit power. Data to be transmitted are coded and modulated to provide modulation symbols. The modulation symbols to be transmitted on each subband are scaled with the subband's scaling value and further preconditioned with the subband's steering vector. COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method of reallocating excess power for full channel-state information (CSI) multiple-input, multiple-output (MIMO) systems. SOLUTION: The total transmit power may be initially allocated to the transmission channels based on a particular power allocation scheme. The initial allocation may result in more power being allocated to some transmission channels than needed to achieve the required SNR. In such situations, the techniques reallocate the excess transmit power of transmission channels operated in the saturation region to other transmission channels operated below the saturation region. In this way, higher data rate may be achieved for the "poorer" transmission channels without sacrificing the performance of the "better" transmission channels. COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
"método e equipamento para processamento de dados para transmissão em um sistema de comunicação de múltiplos canais usando inversão seletiva de canal". na presente invenção são descritas técnicas para processar dados para transmissão através de múltiplos canais de transmissão. os canais de transmissão disponíveis são separados em um ou mais grupos, e os canais em cada grupo são selecionados para uso em transmissão de dados. os dados para cada grupo são codificados e modulados com base em um esquema de codificação e modulação específico para prover símbolos de modulação, e os símbolos de modulação para cada canal selecionado são ponderados com base em pesos designados. a ponderação "inverte" os canais selecionados de modo que eles alcancem snrs recebidas semelhantes. com a inversão seletiva de canal, apenas canais "bons" em cada grupo que possui snrs no ou acima de um limite específico são selecionados, os canais "ruins" não são usados e a potência de transmissão total disponível para o grupo é distribuída pelos canais bons no grupo. desempenho aperfeiçoado é atingido mediante uso apenas de canais bons em cada grupo e coincidência de cada snr recebida do canal selecionado com a snr requerida.
Abstract:
Techniques to perform beam-steering and beam-forming to transmit data on a single eigenmode in a wideband multiple-input channel. In one method, a steering vector is obtained for each of a number of subbands. Depending on how the steering vectors are defined, beam-steering or beam-forming can be achieved for each subband. The total transmit power is allocated to the subbands based on a particular power allocation scheme (e.g., full channel inversion, selective channel inversion, water-filling, or uniform). A scaling value is then obtained for each subband based on its allocated transmit power. Data to be transmitted is coded and modulated to provide modulation symbols. The modulation symbols to be transmitted on each subband are scaled with the subband's scaling value and further preconditioned with the subband's steering vector. A stream of preconditioned symbols is then formed for each transmit antenna.
Abstract:
Techniques to 'successively' process received signals at a receiver unit in a MIMO system to recover transmitted data, and to 'adaptively' process data at a transmitter unit based on channel state information available for the MIMO channel. A successive cancellation receiver processing technique is used to process the received signals and performs a number of iterations to provide decoded data streams. For each iteration, input (e.g., received) signals for the iteration are processed to provide one or more symbol streams. One of the symbol streams is selected and processed to provide a decoded data stream. The interference due to the decoded data stream is approximately removed (i.e., canceled) from the input signals provided to the next iteration. The channel characteristics are estimated and reported back to the transmitter system and used to adjust (i.e., adapt) the processing (e.g., coding, modulation, and so on) of data prior to transmission.
