Abstract:
The use of multiple radios using different radio access technologies (RATs) on a wireless station can result in interference that can be mitigated by reducing, on a packet-by-packet basis, the bandwidths of communications using one of the RATs. For example, the bandwidth of wireless local area network (WLAN) communications sent or received by a wireless station can be reduced in order to avoid interference with Long-term Evolution (LTE) or LTE-Advanced (LTE-A) communications. A wireless station can determine that only a portion of an interfering bandwidth used by a first radio will interfere with the receipt of communications on a second radio, then the wireless station can dynamically adjust its transmissions on the first radio to only use non-interfering frequencies.
Abstract:
A method for wireless communication by a wireless communication device is described. The wireless communication device determines that an aggressor radio in the wireless communication device is causing (or can potentially cause) self-jamming to a victim radio in the wireless communication device. A precoding configuration is selected based on one or more link throughput metrics and one or more self-jamming metrics. The precoding configuration is applied to transmissions of the aggressor radio.

Methods, systems, and devices are described for reducing interference for wireless communication in a wireless device with multiple receive antennas. In aspects for reducing interference, a combined signal may be generated by combining a plurality of received signals from a plurality of respective receive antennas of the wireless device, for example, using one or more different types of combining A common distortion of the plurality of received signals may be estimated based at least in part on the combined signal, and interference reduction may be performed on one or more of the plurality of received signals based at least in part on the estimated common distortion.
Abstract:
Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate constructing unitary matrices that may be utilized in linear precoding for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) wireless communication systems. Each unitary matrix may be generated by combining (e.g., multiplying) a diagonal matrix with a Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) matrix. The unitary matrices may be utilized to provide feedback related to a channel and/or control transmission over a channel based upon obtained feedback.

Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices are described for power conservation in a wireless communications system through efficient transmissions and acknowledgements of information between an AP and a station. The time between a determination by a station to enter a power saving mode and entering network sleep mode by the station may be reduced through a transmission, by an AP, of an MPDU to the station successive to an SIFS after transmission of an acknowledgement to the station of a PS-Poll frame from the station. The time to enter a power saving mode by a station may also be reduced through transmission of A-MPDUs in which a last MPDU of the A-MPDU has an indicator bit cleared to indicate no additional data is to be transmitted. An AP may prevent a retransmission of an MPDU to the station in the absence of an acknowledgement from the station, to further enhance efficiency.
Abstract:
A wireless communication device including two or more aggressor transmitters and a victim receiver that is adversely affected by intermodulation distortion (IMD) components associated with the signals transmitted by the two or more aggressor transmitters. Because the aggressor transmitters and the victim receiver are located on the same device, the transmit waveforms that contribute to the IMD components are known and available. More specifically, digital baseband samples used by the aggressor transmitters to generate the transmit waveforms are available. These digital baseband samples are used to reconstruct the IMD component on the wireless device. This reconstructed (estimated) IMD component is provided to the victim receiver, and is subtracted from a signal received by the victim receiver, thereby effectively removing the IMD component present in this received signal. An adaptive filter using a Volterra series can be used to estimate the IMD component in response to the transmitter digital baseband samples.
Abstract:
This disclosure provides coexistence strategies for a combined wireless communications device using multiple wireless protocols, such as WLAN and LTE. One or more periods having increased interference potential during an upcoming communication event of one wireless protocol may be identified and the transmission duration of another wireless protocol may be dynamically adjusted to reduce interference. In one aspect, a first period of potential interference during an upcoming LTE transmission may be predicted based on allocated LTE transmission power. The duration of the transmission may be adjusted so that a response to the transmission does not arrive during the first period. In another aspect, a second period of potential interference during an upcoming LTE reception may be predicted based on an estimated quality of LTE reception. The duration of the transmission may be adjusted so that the transmission does not being during the second period.
Abstract:
Techniques to enhance the performance in a wireless communication system using segments called subbands and using precoding are shown. According to one aspect, the bandwidth for transmission to an access terminal is constrained to a preferred bandwidth which is less than the bandwidth available for transmission to an access terminal and precoding information related to the subcarriers within the constrained bandwidth is provided to a transmitter. The precoding information related to the subcarriers within a constrained bandwidth provides feedback about the forward link channel properties relative to different subbands and may be fed back on a channel associated with the bandwidth.
