Abstract:
A wireless radio transceiver system configured to transmit and receive a communications signal waveform having a time division multiple access physical layer structure and which includes a sequence of orthogonal frequency division multiple access symbols. The transceiver provides transmit diversity through space-time coding and the use of orthogonal channel probes from each transmitter. The waveform is packet based and contains a packet header definition that supports local receiver synchronization. Examples of the waveform also incorporate transmission security features.

Abstract:
A block of information is processed before transmission thereof in a block transmission based communication. This comprises inserting a cyclic prefix and a cyclic suffix into the block of information before applying a time reversal based prefilter prior to transmission to the data after cyclic prefix and cyclic suffix insertion, the prefilter being configured on the basis of knowledge of the condition of the channel over which communication is to be effected. Then, at the receiver, a removal operation is operable to remove the effect of cyclic prefix and suffix insertion, leaving a circulant shifted version of the original block. This can be decoded using a diagonal matrix containing frequency domain channel coefficients on its diagonal entries after FFT. For systems with more than two transmit antennas, this facilities the use of full rate OSTBC, regardless of whether real or complex signaling is transmitted.
Abstract:
Techniques are provided for transmitting and receiving a mother code in an incremental redundancy hybrid automatic repeat-request protocol. Each bit position of the mother code may be mapped to an output symbol, and each output symbol may be mapped to an antenna for transmission. One or more transmissions of symbols contained in the output symbols may be performed, where each transmission may include puncturing the mother code by selecting one or more symbols from the of output symbols, and transmitting each symbol in the one or more symbols on an antenna corresponding to that symbol. The mother code may be decoded, in part, by determining combinable bits contained within a set of received symbols, and computing one or more log-likelihood ratio values corresponding to each symbol in the set of received symbols.
Abstract:
An automatic retransmission request control system in an OFDM-MIMO communication system includes a retransmission mode selection part which selects a retransmission mode from among (a) a mode in which to transmit the data which are to be retransmitted, via the same antenna as in the previous transmission, while transmitting, at the same time, new data by use of an antenna via which no data retransmission is requested; (b) a mode in which to transmit the data, which are to be retransmitted, via an antenna via which no retransmission is requested, while transmitting new data via another antenna at the same time; (c) a mode in which to use STBC to retransmit the data via an antenna via which no retransmission is requested; and (d) a mode in which to use STBC to retransmit the data via all the available antennas.
Abstract:
A method for communicating data from a source to a destination using a plurality of relay stations in a wireless communication system is provided. The method comprises grouping the plurality of relay stations into at least one relay station group; receiving in a relay station group a subset of data transmitted from the source; sharing information between relay stations in the relay station group for forwarding to the destination the received subset of data transmitted from the source; determining a forwarding scheme for transmitting the received subset of data; and transmitting the received subset of data to the destination using the forwarding scheme.
Abstract:
All data symbols used in data transmission of a modulated signal are precoded by switching 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 along the frequency axis and the time axis all differ. A modulated signal with such data symbols arranged therein is transmitted.

Abstract:
A method to detect data transmitted from multiple antennas, said method comprising steps of: selecting a starting data block and calling it as previous data block; defining a set of indices of bits to be checked for possible flip in the previous data block as a check candidate set; applying update rule to obtain updated data block using the previous data block and the check candidate set, wherein the update is made in such a manner that change in likelihood is positive; checking if the updated data block and several consecutive previous data blocks are the same; if yes, declare the updated data block as the detected data block; if no, make updated data block as previous data block and repeat updation of data block.
