PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To resolve RF interference issues of small-coverage base stations.SOLUTION: Interference that occurs during wireless communication may be managed through the use of beam and null steering techniques. A method, apparatus and medium of communication determines an interference direction of a non-associated access terminal generating an interfering signal. Transmission and reception signals are then transmitted and received away from the interference direction.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and an apparatus for increasing spectrum use efficiency in a mesh network.SOLUTION: Mesh Network Access Points (APs) are deployed over a geographic area. The APs monitor the communication channel for other carriers and transmit signals accordingly. The APs selectively co-transmit signals when other carriers are sensed, if the efficiency of the mesh network improves. APs select a transmission rate based on observed carrier-to-interference ratios. APs use directional antennas to increase carrier-to-interference ratios and spectral efficiency. AP transmission schedules are adaptable and adjusted according to observed carrier-to-interference measurements.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and an apparatus for increasing spectrum usage frequency in a mesh network.SOLUTION: Mesh Network Access Points (APs) include gateways and routers. The APs employ OFDMA for increasing the frequency reuse. The gateway divides the transmission frequency channel into multiple frequencies (1110). A unique frequency is assigned to each router in the neighborhood (1120). The routers establish data links centered on each of the tones. The gateway receives data from the routers modulated on each of the tones (1130).

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To execute a peer-to-peer call in an ad hoc wireless communication network. SOLUTION: The peer-to-peer call is executed by at least one processor configured to transmit response to another wireless device when an identifier extracted from a frame received from the other wireless communication device is included in an identifier peer-to-peer (PTP) list and a memory connected to the processor. The PTP list does not have all the peers available to perform communication in the ad hoc communication network, but has the identifier of a peer with which the wireless device is expected to communicate.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To achieve transmission diversity on a legacy single-antenna receiving device. SOLUTION: In order to obtain transmission diversity, a transmission entity uses different pseudo-random steering vectors across subbands, and uses the same steering vector across packets for each subband. A receiving entity does not need to know the pseudo-random steering vectors and further does not need to perform any space processing. For space spreading, the transmission entity uses different pseudo-random steering vectors across the subbands and uses different steering vectors across the packets for each subband. Only the transmission and the receiving entities know the steering vectors used for data transmission. COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide techniques for performing acquisition of packets.SOLUTION: First detection values are determined based on a first plurality of samples, e.g., by performing delay-multiply-integrate on the samples. Power values are determined based on the first plurality of samples, e.g., by performing multiply-integrate on the samples. The first detection values are averaged to obtain average detection values. The power values are also averaged to obtain average power values. Whether a packet is present is determined based on the average detection values and the average power values. Second detection values are determined based on a second plurality of samples. The start of the packet is determined based on the first and second detection values. A third detection value is determined based on a third plurality of samples. A frequency error of the packet is estimated based on the first and third detection values.

Furthermore, the method includes receiving location information of a mobile device, and transmitting the location information to one or more other devices, communicating with the mobile device using access points, not including location functionality. Moreover, the method includes transmitting the message to the mobile device on the basis of at least partially received access location information. The method also includes receiving user preference data from the mobile device or one or more other devices, and transmitting a communication to a mobile device or one or more other devices meeting the user preference data.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a receiver structure for spatial spreading with space-time or space-frequency transmit diversity.SOLUTION: A receiving entity 150 obtains received symbols for data transmission, which has at least one data symbol stream sent with space-time transmit diversity (STTD). The receiving entity derives an overall channel response matrix in accordance with an STTD encoding scheme used for the data transmission, derives a spatial filter matrix based on the overall channel response matrix, and performs spatial matched filtering on a vector of the received symbols for each 2-symbol interval to obtain a vector of detected symbols for the 2-symbol interval. The receiving entity may perform post-processing (e.g., conjugation) on the detected symbols if needed. Alternatively, the receiving entity derives the spatial filter matrix based on an effective channel response matrix, performs the spatial matched filtering on the received symbols for each symbol period to obtain detected symbols.
