    摘要: An antenna array includes four closely spaced, linearly arranged antenna columns. At least two of the columns, e.g., the center two columns, are dual-polarized. Spacing between neighboring columns is about ½λ, where λ is the free space wavelength at the network carrier frequency. Each column includes a first vertical linear array of radiating elements or groups of elements (sub-arrays) connected to a port. The dual-polarized columns each further include a second linear array of radiating elements oriented at a different polarization than the first array. (For example, horizontal/vertical or slant 45°.) Array ports are connected with four RF feed cables using duplexers in such a way so as to provide two different antenna configurations for forward link and reverse link frequencies, namely, a four-column closely spaced beam-forming array at the forward link and a two-column dual-polarized array at the reverse link for 4-branch diversity reception.

    摘要: One of a plurality of carrier frequencies may be selected as a serving carrier for an uplink transmission based on at least one of a mobile velocity and loading conditions of the plurality of carrier frequencies. Selection of the serving carrier favors a carrier frequency having a smaller loading than at least one other carrier frequency based on the loading conditions. Also, selection of the serving carrier favors a lower frequency carrier for a higher mobile velocity and favors a higher frequency carrier for a lower mobile velocity based on the mobile velocity.

    摘要: Disclosed is a method and apparatus of transmit diversity that is backward compatible and does not degrade performance using a transmission architecture that incorporates a form of phase sweep transmit diversity (PSTD) referred to herein as split shift PSTD. Split shift PSTD involves transmitting at least two phase swept versions of a signal over diversity antennas, wherein the two phase swept versions of the signal have a different phase. The phase sweep frequency signals may have a fixed or varying phase shifting rate, may have an identical or different phase shifting rate, may be offset from each other and/or may be phase shifting in the same or opposite direction.

Employment of binary switches allows for the sharing of certain components whether the transmitter is utilizing a orthogonal transmit diversity (OTD) scheme or a space time spreading (STS) scheme. Accordingly, the number of components in the transmitter is minimized and the complexity of the transmitter is simple enough to be implemented into a single application specific integrated chip.

    摘要: In a system for parity encoding data using a low density parity check (LDPC) code, a rate-compatible, irregular LDPC code is generated by extending a base code using a constrained edge growth operation and a parity splitting operation. The base code is a “daughter” code having an encoding rate higher than a designated rate of the LDPC code. The daughter code is progressively extended to lower and lower rates such that each extension code (including the target LDPC code) is compatible with the previously obtained codes. The extension operation may involve introducing a set of new code symbols to the daughter code, by splitting check nodes of a base graph associated with the daughter code, and through constrained edge growth of the base graph. The LDPC code is used to parity encode a data message as a means for forward error correction across a communication channel.

    摘要: Downlink diversity in a CDMA system is provided by employing Walsh codes in conjunction with M transmit antennas at a common base station serving K mobiles, where M may or may not be to equal to K. The present invention provides methods and apparatus for improving downlink diversity in a CDMA system. Each transmit antenna transmits a signal representing the result of the modulation of Walsh codes by data signals for each of the K mobiles, assuming there is data pertaining to a particular mobile. The assignment of Walsh codes is accomplished in accordance with a transmission matrix T. The transmission matrix maps the user data symbols onto the Walsh codes for each antenna and is preferably designed such that its columns are representative of the transmit antennas and orthogonal. Thus, at a given mobile, the mobile need only correlate with M different Walsh codes since each transmit signal received contains a component that is the result of M different Walsh codes having been modulated by a data signal associated with that particular mobile. The set of Walsh codes to select from includes 2┌log2(K)┐ Walsh codes. However, with respect to any given mobile, there is needed only as many different Walsh codes as there are transmit antennas serving the particular mobile. The results of the respective M correlations are combined and, with obtained channel estimates, the receiver estimates the particular data pertaining to that particular mobile so that it can be provided to the user. Also, the present invention provides for various ways to estimate the respective channels between the M transmit antennas and a mobile. It is to be appreciated that the downlink diversity techniques of the invention may be applied to the physical layer proposed in the IS95-C physical layer draft proposal.

    摘要: Disclosed is a method and apparatus of transmit diversity that is backward compatible and does not significantly degrade performance in additive white guassan noise (AWGN) conditions using a transmission architecture that incorporates a form of phase sweep transmit diversity (PSTD) referred to herein as biased PSTD. Biased PSTD involves transmitting a signal and a frequency swept version of the same signal over diversity antennas at different power levels. By transmitting the two signals at different power levels, the depths of nulls normally seen in AWGN conditions when PSTD is utilized is reduced and performance degradation in AWGN conditions is mitigated.

    摘要: A cellular communications system includes a base station and at least one mobile station communicating therewith. The base station may include a plurality of antennas and a modulator for providing a transmit signal for each antenna. The modulator may estimate a weighting factor for each transmit signal based upon considering each transmit signal as having an unknown and arbitrary fading factor associated therewith and based upon considering the unknown and arbitrary fading factors to have a predetermined cross-correlation function.
