    Abstract: A UE in a wireless communication network transmits succinct, direct channel state information to the network, enabling coordinated multipoint calculations such as joint processing, without substantially increasing uplink overhead. The UE receives and processes reference symbols over a set of non-uniformly spaced sub-carriers, selected according to a scheme synchronized to the network. The frequency response for each selected sub-carrier is estimated conventionally, and the results quantized and transmitted to the network on an uplink control channel. The non-uniform sub-carrier selection may be synchronized to the network in a variety of ways.

    Abstract: A method for determining antenna weights for use in transmitting data from a plurality of base stations to a user device is disclosed. The antenna weights are determined using an input covariance matrix (S), and the input covariance matrix is determined subject to a predetermined power constraint and a predetermined, non-zero interference constraint.

    Abstract: A communication device is described herein that has control (or at least partial control) over which virtual antenna(s) in one or more base stations to use for transmissions. In one embodiment, the mobile phone performs the following steps: (1) receives an antenna subset list (from the scheduling unit) which identifies a configuration of virtual antennas that is associated with the base station(s); (2) uses the antenna subset list to select which virtual antenna(s) in the configuration of virtual antennas to use for transmissions; and (3) sends an antenna selection signal (to the scheduling unit) which contains information that instructs/requests the base station(s)/scheduling unit to use the selected virtual antenna(s) for transmissions.

    Abstract: A radio communication sent by a transmitter having M transmit antennas is received by a receiver having N receive antennas, where M is a positive integer greater than or equal to one and N is positive integer greater than one. Thus, N output signals, one for each receive antenna, are received. The signal transmitted from each transmit antenna includes predetermined pilot symbols known by the receiver and information symbols to be determined by the receiver. Weights for estimating each of M×N single-input/single-output channels between transmit and receive antennas are determined based on jointly processing pilot symbols received on all of the N receive antennas. The M×N channels are estimated based on the determined weights, and those estimated channels are used to determine the information symbols. An iterative procedure is used to estimate the M×N channels using a noise correlation matrix estimate and to estimate the noise correlation matrix using the M×N channel estimates.

    Abstract: According to one or more method and apparatus embodiments taught herein, network base stations reduce temporal variations in the interference perceived by mobile stations operating within the network by slowing down the rate at which they change or otherwise update the linear precoding settings applied to their transmitted Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplex (OFDM) signals in comparison to the rate at which the base stations perform link adaptation. That is, the precoding-related component of measured interference (e.g., other-cell interference) at the mobile stations is made quasi-stationary with respect to channel quality reporting and link adaptation intervals by fixing the preceding settings used by each base station over time intervals substantially longer than the channel reporting/link adaptation intervals.
