摘要: Aspects of this disclosure relate to reference signal channel estimation. A wireless communication channel between two nodes can be estimated based on a received reference signal, such as a Sounding Reference Signal. Techniques are disclosed to improve performance of reference signal channel estimation and make channel estimates more robust in the presence of one or more of a variety of impairments. Frequency domain processing and/or time domain processing can be performed to reduce distortion in channel estimates.

摘要: Aspects of the disclosure relate to an active set management scheme implemented by a scheduler in a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) network that minimizes capacity and interference issues. For example, the scheduler can initially group each base station into a separate active set. The scheduler can then analyze each active set to determine whether the active set is a good or bad based on the level of interference in and the number of MIMO receive dimensions available in the respective active set. If the scheduler determines that an active set is a bad, the scheduler can determine a set of metrics that each represent a capacity and link quality that would result if the bad active set is combined with another active set. Based on the set of metrics, the scheduler can combine the bad active set with another active set, and repeat this process until no bad active sets remain.

摘要: Methods and systems of multi-link peer-to-peer communications enable consumer devices to have increased communication performance. A method of communication can include establishing, by a consumer device, a P2P interface with extender devices, transmitting uplink data to the two or more extender devices, and transmitting, by each of the two or more extender devices, uplink transmission data to a cellular network. The method can further include receiving, by the extender devices, downlink transmission data from a respective cellular network, transmitting, by each of the two or more extender devices via the peer-to-peer wireless interface, the received downlink transmission data, and receiving, at the consumer device via the peer-to-peer wireless interface, data related to the received downlink transmission data. In an example, the consumer device can also transmit data directly to a cellular network and receive data directly from the cellular network in parallel with the P2P communication.

摘要: Aspects of this disclosure relate to a time-division duplex (TDD) multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) system that includes a plurality of nodes. The plurality of nodes collectively includes antennas divided into groups. Reference signals can be transmitted from each group of antennas to one or more other groups of antennas during respective time slots. Channel estimates can be generated based on the received reference signals. The channel estimates can be jointly processed to generate calibration coefficients. Each calibration coefficient can represent a ratio associated with a transmit coefficient and a receive coefficient. Example algorithms for the joint processing are disclosed.

摘要: Aspects of this disclosure relate to a user equipment that includes a transceiver that can operate in at least a traffic mode and a virtual network element mode. In the traffic mode, the transceiver can process a received downlink radio frequency signal and transmit an uplink radio frequency signal. The transceiver can couple a receive path to a transmit path in an analog domain in the virtual network element mode. In the virtual network element mode, the transceiver can, for example, perform functions of a network repeater or a network transmit-receive point.

摘要: Aspects of the disclosure relate to a selection scheme implemented by a scheduler in a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) network to identify which users to schedule simultaneously during the same time slot. For downlink communications and a particular frequency wholeband or sub-band, the scheduler can determine downlink channel information using uplink channel information for channels between base stations and UEs. The scheduler can then determine a strength of the channels using the downlink channel information, order the UEs using a fairness metric based on the channel strengths, and compute one or more QR decompositions to identify whether a spatial dimension of a UE is roughly or approximately orthogonal to spatial dimension(s) of other UEs selected to be served during a time slot being scheduled. If the spatial dimensions are roughly or approximately orthogonal, the scheduler selects the UE to be served at the same time as other UEs already selected.

摘要: Aspects of this disclosure relate receiving a reference symbol from at least one antenna. The reference symbol includes a portion of a first transmitted reference symbol and a portion of a second transmitted reference symbol. The first transmitted reference symbol includes a symbol and a cyclically shifted portion of the symbol having a cyclic shift length. The second transmitted reference symbol includes a cyclically shifted version of the first transmitted reference symbol that is cyclically shifted relative to the first transmitted reference symbol by the cyclic shift length. The reference symbol is processed. In certain embodiments, processing the reference symbol can account for (i) a frame offset between uplink symbols and downlink symbols and (ii) another timing offset between downlink transmission and uplink reception.

摘要: Aspects of this disclosure relate to a pair of wireless communication devices wirelessly communicating with a network system in a coordinated manner. The wireless communication devices of the pair can be in communication with each other via a wireless peer-to-peer link. A primary wireless communication device can communicate a first part of a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) transmission via cellular communications and a second part of the MIMO transmission via the peer-to-peer link. This can enable the primary wireless communication device to communicate with the network system at a higher data rate and/or at a higher MIMO rank.
