Disclosed is a precoding method comprising the steps of: generating a first coded block and a second coded block with use of a predetermined error correction block coding scheme; generating a first precoded signal z1 and a second precoded signal z2 by performing a precoding process, which corresponds to a matrix selected from among the N matrices F[i], on a first baseband signal s1 generated from the first coded block and a second baseband signal s2 generated from the second coded block, respectively; the first precoded signal z1 and the second precoded signal z2 satisfying (z1, z2)T=F[i] (s1, s2)T; and changing both of or one of a power of the first precoded signal z1 and a power of the second precoded signal z2, such that an average power of the first precoded signal z1 is less than an average power of the second precoded signal z2.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for implementing spatial processing with unequal modulation and coding schemes (MCSs) or stream-dependent MCSs are disclosed. Input data may be parsed into a plurality of data streams, and spatial processing is performed on the data streams to generate a plurality of spatial streams. An MCS for each data stream is selected independently. The spatial streams are transmitted via multiple transmit antennas. At least one of the techniques of space time block coding (STBC), space frequency block coding (SFBC), quasi-orthogonal Alamouti coding, time reversed space time block coding, linear spatial processing and cyclic delay diversity (CDD) may be performed on the data/spatial streams. An antennal mapping matrix may then be applied to the spatial streams. The spatial streams are transmitted via multiple transmit antennas. The MCS for each data stream may be determined based on a signal-to-noise ratio of each spatial stream associated with the data stream.

Abstract:
Transmission quality is improved in an environment in which direct waves dominate in a transmission method for transmitting a plurality of modulated signals from a plurality of antennas at the same time. All data symbols used in data transmission of a modulated signal are precoded by hopping between precoding matrices so that the precoding matrix used to precode each data symbol and the precoding matrices used to precode data symbols that are adjacent to the data symbol in the frequency domain and the time domain all differ. A modulated signal with such data symbols arranged therein is transmitted.
Abstract:
Space-time block codes (STBCs) is a known approach for using multiple transmit antennas to provide higher data rates and better reliability by exploiting spatial diversity. Existing STBCs use independent two-dimensional constellations. Methods and systems for using multidimensional constellations to improve the performance of orthogonal STBCs are disclosed. Methods for finding optimized multidimensional constellations for orthogonal STBCs are also disclosed.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the present invention disclose a pilot signal transmitting method, and a channel estimation method, an apparatus, and a system. The method includes: within a transmission time interval (TTI), transmitting a first pilot signal (CPICH1) on a first antenna, and transmitting a second pilot signal (CPICH2) on a second antenna; when no first-type terminal is scheduled within coverage of a MIMO system within the TTI, transmitting a third pilot signal (CPICH3) on a third antenna, and transmitting a fourth pilot signal (CPICH4) on a fourth antenna; and when a first-type terminal is scheduled within the coverage of the MIMO system within the TTI, transmitting the CPICH3 and a fifth pilot signal (CPICH5) on the third antenna, and transmitting the CPICH4 and a sixth pilot signal (CPICH6) on the fourth antenna. By using the method, interference of a pilot signal to a legacy terminal can be greatly reduced.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a transmission scheme for transmitting a first modulated signal and a second modulated signal over the same frequency at the same time. According to the transmission scheme, a precoding weight multiplying unit multiplies a baseband signal after a first mapping and a baseband signal after a second mapping by a precoding weight and outputs the first modulated signal and the second modulated signal. In the precoding weight multiplying unit, precoding weights are regularly hopped.
Abstract:
Automatic retransmission in communications systems. An embodiment includes retransmitting data. A cyclic redundancy check (CRC) is executed on a portion of data received as part of a data stream at a receiver antenna. Feedback information of acknowledgment (ACK) or negative acknowledgement (NACK) for the portion of data is determined based on a result of the CRC. It is identified that the portion of data is to be retransmitted based on the feedback information indicating a NACK with respect to the portion of data. A retransmission mode is selected for the portion of data based on desired characteristics of the data stream, including a first mode that retransmits the portion of data on at least a first transmitter antenna while transmitting new data on at least a second transmitter antenna; and a second mode that retransmits the portion of data simultaneously on at least the first and second transmitter antennas.
