Abstract:
In performing SVD-MIMO transmission, a set-up procedure is simplified while assuring a satisfactory decoding capability with a reduced number of antennas. A transmitter estimates channel information based on reference signals sent from a receiver, determines a transmit antenna weighting coefficient matrix based on the channel information, calculates a weight to be assigned to each of components of a multiplexed signal, and sends, to the receiver, training signals for respective signal components, the training signals being weighted by the calculated weights. On the other hand, the receiver determines a receive antenna weighting coefficient matrix based on the received training signals.
Abstract:
A mobile communication system and method for transmitting signals through a plurality of transmission antennas by space-time coding the signals. The signals are transmitted using a low density parity check code. A lifting low density parity check matrix is formed by expanding values of elements in a low density parity check matrix with a sub-matrix corresponding to a number of the transmission antennas. The signals to be transmitted are coded using the lifting low density parity check matrix. Thereafter, the coded signals are serial/parallel converted and transmitted through the transmission antennas.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for reducing the observed rate of change of the channel characteristics in a system with multiple antennas at a mobile terminal. The slowing down of the observed channel fluctuations is effectuated on the downlink by either calculating or receiving signals that have a similar Doppler shift, referred to herein as Doppler-compensatable signals, and processing one or more of the Doppler-compensatable signals to compensate for Doppler shift. The slowing down of the observed channel fluctuations is effectuated on the uplink by pre-compensating symbol streams with the Doppler shift associated with the direction in which they are transmitted, so that the observed Doppler shift of these signals when they are received is reduced or even eliminated.

An apparatus for adaptively modulating/demodulating signals in a multi-input multi-output (MIMO) system having a layered time-space architecture detector and a method thereof is disclosed. The apparatus includes: a bit and power allocation information calculator for deciding an equivalent channel gain in a reverse order of Vertical-Bell laboratories Space Time (V-BLAST) based on MIMO channel information feedbacked from a receiver and determining the number of bits and transmission power to be transmitted to each transmitting antenna by using the equivalent channel gain; and adaptive modulation means for modulating signal of each layer with corresponding modulation method based on the determined number of bits and transmitting power, controlling the transmitting power and transmitting the adaptively modulated signal through each transmitting antenna. The present invention can improve performance without increase of implementation complexity and easily expand to MIMO-OFDM system by adaptively modulating and demodulating signals in reverse order of conventional V-BLAST detection method.

In one embodiment, the formatter includes a symbol generator that provides a plurality of encoded symbols from a bit stream. The formatter also includes a symbol mapping organizer that maps the plurality of encoded symbols into information cells, each having a unique space coordinate, time coordinate and degree of freedom within a frequency band. The information cells are arranged in a parallelopiped communication resource volume.
Abstract:
The present invention has a N pieces of receiving antennas, a propagation path characterization estimator, a weight generator for interference canceller, an array processing interference canceller, a weight generator for signal estimator, a signal estimator, a transmission signal classification apparatus, and a decoding order decision apparatus. The antenna inference elimination circuit eliminates only signal component relating to transmission signal component which does not belong to groups. The signal estimator performs separation and decoding of the transmission signal belonging to the group. The transmission signal classification apparatus classifies the transmission signals from sets of the transmission antennas in which a cross-correlation value of the vector is larger than a threshold value, into one group, and classifies the transmission signal in which the cross-correlation value is smaller than the threshold value, into another group.
Abstract:
An information stream of binary symbols is divided into serial packets of N binary symbols. The method further includes serial-parallel conversion of binary symbols in each serial packet and repeating N times the parallel packet thus obtained in order to form a serial-parallel packet of binary symbols. The binary symbols are permuted in the duration interval of each serial-parallel packet, and orthogonal codes generated according to the above binary symbol permutation are then applied. A space-diversity channel is then assigned to each serial group of the serial-parallel packet of coded binary symbols thus obtained. All the serial groups of coded binary symbols, each coded binary symbol having been previously spread by a user spreading code, as well as pilot signals of the corresponding space diversity channels are simultaneously transmitted. The method also involves generating on the reception side a serial packet of soft decisions that corresponds to the serial packet of binary symbols on the transmission side.

Abstract:
A method for indicating a combination between a codeword and a layer in a MIMO communication, system, a layer mapping method, and a data transmission method using the same are disclosed. A minimum number of codeword-layer mapping combinations from among all available combinations based on the' numbers of all codewords and all layers are pre-defined in consideration of a ratio of a codeword to a layer, a reception performance of a receiver, and reduction of combinations, so that a data transmission method using the predefined combinations is implemented. If a.specific one codeword is mapped to at least two layers, a diversity gain can be acquired.
Abstract:
A MIMO ARC transmitter derives demux streams (15, 20) carrying different parts of the information, at given data rates, processes each demux stream by coding and modulation (25, 30) before transmission over the channels, and varies (50, 165) the coding or modulation according to channel conditions, and controls the data rates (50, 155) according to conditions of the channels independently of the variations in coding and modulation. The separate control of processing and of data rates for each demux stream can provide a better balance of rapid response to changing conditions and efficiency in less rapidly changing conditions. The frequency of updating the processing can be limited since these take more time to adapt in the receiver. Sensitivity to rapid changes can be achieved by the data rate changes since these involve less overhead than changes in the processing.
