Abstract:
An improved receiver design implements a method for modeling users in SIC turbo loop multiuser detection architectures that reduces the number of implementation cycles, and thereby reduces the computational overhead associated with computing the inverse of the received signal covariance matrix, by efficiently reusing components of a QR decomposition. By reusing some of the computational results from the previous turbo loop's equalizer calculation, the disclosed receiver significantly reduces the computational burden of updating the linear equalizer on each turbo loop. Depending on the embodiment, this reduction can be accomplished in at least two different ways, depending on the dimensionality and other aspects of the implementation.
Abstract:
This method of generating precoders is used in optimising transmission capacity between an eNodeB and UEs in a DL MU-MIMO communication system. The method includes the steps of computing correlation values between pairs of precoding matrices (PMs) of the reported precoding matrix indicators (PMIs) (step 40), selecting a PM pair having a minimum correlation value (step 42). If the minimum correlation value is less than a lower threshold Tmin, the method uses a PM corresponding to the received PMI (step 44). If the minimum correlation value is greater than Tmin and less than an upper threshold Tmax, the method includes the steps of computing correlation values of the reported PMI and Channel Matrices (CMs) from a fixed codebook of representative CMs (step 48), selecting a CM pair having a maximum correlation value (step 52), and computing precoders from the selected CM pair (step 54).
Abstract:
Systems and methods can implemented to joint transmission for interference management in wireless communications. A first transmitter having M antennas can acquire a channel state information (CSI) matrix for each of a plurality of multiple-input-multiple output (MIMO) channels between a first transmitter and a plurality of receivers. The first transmitter can determine transmission ranks, wherein each of the transmission ranks corresponds to a number of one or more data streams to be transmitted from both the first transmitter and a second transmitter to a receiver of the plurality of receivers. A maximum transmission rank may be identified from the determined transmission ranks. Transmit data can be generated that include the one or more data streams to each of the corresponding plurality of receivers. A precoding matrix can be generated for the generated transmit data based, at least in part, on the acquired CSI matrix. The first transmitter can then encode the transmit data using the corresponding generated precoding matrix.

Abstract:
Method and apparatus for decoding a transmitted signal by a receiver in a MIMO system into a first estimate component for estimating a first signal, a first interference component indicating interference resulting from a correlation relationship among a set of signals to be transmitted, and a first noise component. A base station generates the transmitted signal from the set of signals through a coding process, the coding process defining a correlation relationship amongst the set of signals. The correlation information about the correlation relationship is transmitted to the receiver directly or by a dedicated reference symbol. The decoding is performed by determining a linear receiver filter for the first signal in accordance with the correlation information, and de-correlating the first signal and interferences.

Abstract:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to a technique for multiplexing data of different access categories in Multi User Multiple Input Multiple Output (MU-MIMO) wireless systems. The present disclosure defines rules for multiplexing data of an access category that did not win the contention together with data that won the contention. In this way, a desired Quality of Service (QoS) of each access category class can be preserved.
Abstract:
Circuits detect communications from multiple transmitting antennas to multiple receiving antennas. A respective first block for each non-initial transmitting antenna determines partial distances for pairings of a first candidate and a quadrature-phase amplitude. A respective second block for the initial transmitting antenna determines partial distances for combinations of phase amplitudes. A respective second block for each non-initial transmitting antenna determines partial distances for pairings of a second candidate and an in-phase amplitude. A respective first selector for each non-initial transmitting antenna selects the first candidates from the pairings for the respective second block having smaller partial distances. A respective second selector for each non-initial transmitting antenna selects the second candidates from the pairings for the respective first block having smaller partial distances. An identifier circuit selects a final candidate with a smaller partial distance from the pairings of the respective second block for the last transmitting antenna.
