摘要:
A method estimates a wireless channel at a receiver. The signal is transmitted using narrowband orthogonal frequency division demultiplexing (OFDM) and frequency subcarriers, and the signal includes a set of data tones and a set of pilot tones. The channel and pilot tone interference are estimated based on all the pilot tones extracted from the signal and a channel model. The set of data are equalized based on the channel estimate. Data interference is detected according to the pilot interference and the equalized data tones. Subcarrier interference-to-noise ratios are determined based on the data interference. Signal strengths of the data tones are determined based on the equalized data tones, log-likelihood ratios of bits represented by the data tones are determined based on the subcarrier interference-to-noise ratios and the signal strength of the data tones.

A transmitter encodes an input bitstream using space-time trellis coding (STTC). The encoder includes a serial to parallel convertor to produce a first and second output bitstreams. First and second three bit shift registers are connected to produce first and second output bitstreams. A multiplier applies a code generating weight to each bit of the shift registers to encode the bitstreams. A first switch is connected between a last bit of the first shift register and a first bit of the second shift register. A second switch is connected between the second output and the first bit of the second shift register. The first set of encoded bit streams and the second set of encoded bitstreams are combined and mapped to a frequency domain.

Beams are used to communicate in a wireless network including mobile and stationary receivers. The network operates according to the IEEE 802.11p in wireless access to vehicular environments (WAVE). A direction from the mobile transceiver to the stationary receiver is predicted using geographic information available to the mobile transceiver. A set of signals are received in the mobile transceiver from the stationary transceiver, wherein the signals are received by an array of antennas, and wherein the signals are received using a set of beams, and wherein each beam is approximately directed at the stationary receiver. A signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is measured for each beam, and the beam with an optimal SNR is selected as an optimal beam for communicating data between the mobile transceiver and the stationary transceiver.

A method and an optical receiver compensates for an error in a phase of an optical signal in a receiver. The signal includes blocks of symbols in a sequence. Each block is decoded based on a partially phase compensated symbols, and an average phase error for the block is estimated. Forward phase compensation and backward phase compensation is performed on the block based on the average phase error, and the decoding, estimating, performing is iterated until a termination condition is satisfied to produce a phase compensated block.

The embodiments of the invention provide an adaptive method for base station cooperation in a wireless network. In a multi-user communications network that includes base stations, and in which each base station is associated with a cell, and in which each cell includes one or more mobile stations, each base station determines pre-coding matrices for full-cooperation, semi-cooperation and non-cooperation. Each base stations also determines a sum rate SRfull for full-cooperation, a sum rate SRsemi for semi-cooperation, and a sum rate SRnon for non-cooperation. Then, each base station selects the pre-coding for full-cooperation, the pre-coding matrices for semi cooperation, or the pre-coding matrices for non cooperation. Each base station transmits signals according to the selected pre-coding matrices.

Channel state information in a closed-loop, multiple-input, multiple-output wireless networks is fed back from each mobile station to a base station by first determining a transmit covariance matrix R, and applying a singular value decomposition (SVD) R=UΣVH, where U, V are left and right singular vector matrices, Σ is a diagonal matrix with singular values. The matrix V includes column vectors V. A beamforming vector vmax=[1 exp(jΦ)exp(j2Φ) . . . exp(jΦ)]/√{square root over (N)}] is approximated by the column vector V having a maximum magnitude, where Φ is a real number. Then, only the angle Φ is fed back using a phase modulation mapping of the components exp(jΦ) onto the associated subcarrier.

A network includes a master node (master) and a set of slave nodes (slaves). The network uses orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) and time division multiple access (TDMA) symbols on sub-carriers. During a first downlink transmission from the master to the set of slaves using downlinks and all of the sub-carriers, a broadcast polling packet including data packets for each slave and sub-carrier assignments for the slaves is broadcast. Each slave transmits simultaneously to the master using uplinks and the assigned sub-carriers, a first response packet after receiving the broadcast polling packet. The master then broadcasts using the downlinks and all of the sub-carriers, a group acknowledgement packet, wherein the broadcast polling packet, the response packet, and the group acknowledgement packet include one superframe in one communication cycle, and wherein the broadcasting on the downlinks and the transmitting on the uplinks are disjoint in time.

A method allocates bandwidth to channels in an orthogonal frequency division multiple access and time division multiple access (TDMA) network. The network includes a master device (master) communicating with a set of slave devices (slaves). The master defines a set Ψm of logical indices ν of a set of N physical subcarriers for a set of M data streams to be allocated to a set of Nd logical data subcarriers according to Ψm={ν|ν=iM+m, i=0,1,2, . . . , d−1}, where d=Nd/M. The set of N data subcarriers is mapped to the set of Nd logical subcarriers according to the logical indices, and the data subcarriers are allocated to the logical subcarriers.

A method and apparatus for transmitting a packet in a wireless communications network is presented. A packet is constructed to include synchronization header, a physical layer header, and a payload. A preamble and a start of frame delimiter are inserted in the synchronization header. Multiple fixed length ternary sequences are inserted in the start of frame delimiter in an arbitrary order, and then the packet is transmitted.

A method estimates interim channels in a two-hop multi-input-multi-output (MIMO) amplify-and-forward (AF) relay network including a source station (SS), a relay station (RS), and a destination station (DS). The estimate is according to the overall channel obtained at the DS or the SS. By varying an amplifying matrix of the RS over time, the method establishes a linear equation group with respect to the elements of the interim channels over the first (SS-RS) and second (RS-SS) hops, based on which low-complexity estimation of the interim channels is performed.
