20100054309 | NONPARAMETRIC MIMO G-RAKE RECEIVER - With a nonparametric G-Rake receiver, combining weights may be determined using a nonparametric mechanism in multiple-input, multiple-output (MIMO) scenarios. In an example embodiment, a method for a receiving device having a nonparametric G-Rake receiver entails calculating an impairment covariance matrix and determining combining weights. More specifically, the impairment covariance matrix is calculated based on a pilot channel using a nonparametric mechanism in a MIMO scenario in which a code-reuse interference term exists. The combining weights are determined for the nonparametric G-Rake receiver responsive to the impairment covariance matrix and by accounting for the code-reuse interference term. | 03-04-2010 |
20100061472 | METHOD AND ARRANGEMENT FOR PILOT PATTERN BASED CONTROL SIGNALLING IN MIMO SYSTEMS - The present invention relates to control signaling in wireless communication systems. In particular, the present invention relates to control signaling in MIMO based communication systems. In the method according to the invention control information is transferred from a base station to at least one user equipment, via a plurality of common pilot channels. A set of unique pilot sequences has been pre-defined, and the base station assigns specific pilot sequences from the set of pilot sequences to specific common pilot channels, forming a pilot sequence assignment pattern representing a specific control information. The user equipment, having knowledge of the relations between pilot sequence assignment patterns and control information, interprets the received pilot sequence assignment pattern as specific control information. The method is particularly well suited for broadcast type control information. | 03-11-2010 |
20100098030 | Method and Arrangement for SINR Feedback in MIMO Based Wireless Communication Systems - The present invention relates to a method and arrangement to enhance the communication performance in wireless communication systems. The method of the invention provides better adjustment of reported SINR in MIMO, and PARC-MIMO based communication systems. According to the method information relating to signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio is determined by the user equipment and reported to the base station. The base station adjust reported SINRs using a model of the SINR dependences of power and code allocation. The dependences is modeled by a function comprising a first parameter relating only to power allocation and a second parameter relating only to code allocation. The first parameter has a power allocation exponent and the second parameter has a code allocation exponent. Both the power allocation exponent and the code allocation exponent are data stream dependent. | 04-22-2010 |
20100167657 | UPLINK CHANNEL QUALITY FEEDBACK REDUCTION IN A MOBILE COMMUNICATION SYSTEM - Operating a user equipment in a mobile communication system includes generating a measure of reliability of a predicted channel estimate and of impairment stability, wherein the predicted channel estimate is a predicted estimate of a channel between the user equipment and a node of the mobile communications system. Transmission of a channel quality report to the node of the mobile communication system is controlled as a function of the generated measure of reliability of the predicted channel estimate and of impairment stability. Transmission control includes inhibiting transmission of the channel quality report to the node of the mobile communication system for a duration of time corresponding to the measure of reliability of the predicted channel estimate and of impairment stability. | 07-01-2010 |
20110026566 | PILOT-BASED SINR ESTIMATION FOR MIMO SYSTEMS - A combination of parametric and non-parametric approaches are disclosed for enabling pilot-based SINR estimation for MIMO systems. The pilot-based SINR estimation embodiments account for precoding applied during either single-stream or multi-stream data transmission. The pilot-based SINR estimation embodiments also account for code reuse interference which arises during multi-stream data transmission when spreading codes are reused on the data channel. Accordingly, mismatches that exist between the data channel and the pilot channel because of precoding and/or code reuse are inherently accounted for by the pilot-based SINR estimation embodiments disclosed herein. | 02-03-2011 |
20110053631 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR UPLINK POWER CONTROL IN A WIRELESS COMMUNICATION NETWORK - A method and apparatus provide advantageous uplink power control for a set of uplink channels transmitted by a mobile terminal or other item of user equipment (UE). The proposed uplink power control maintains the total received power for the set of uplink channels at or about a target received power, while also maintaining the received signal quality for a subset of those channels—e.g., a particular one of them—at or about a target received signal quality. In an advantageous but non-limiting example embodiment, the subset comprises a fixed-rate control channel, and the set includes that control channel and a variable-rate traffic channel. Correspondingly, a base station generates first power control commands to maintain the received signal quality of the control channel at or about some quality target, and generates second power control commands to maintain the total received power (of the two channels) at or about some power target. | 03-03-2011 |
20140126663 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CODING WCDMA MIMO CQI REPORTS - A block coding method and system for improving the reliability of Channel Quality Indicators (CQI) and antenna weight indicators (AWI) reporting. A user terminal first generates 8-bit CQI and 2-bit AWI. A codeword generator produces a codeword responsive to these 10 CQI/AWI bits using a codebook or a generator matrix of a (20,10,6) code. The (20,10,6) code has a minimum Hamming distance of 6 The encoded codeword is transmitted to a receiver for decoding utilizing an identical (20,10,6) codebook. | 05-08-2014 |
20150080005 | Signaling Support for Antenna Selection Using Subset Lists and Subset Masks - A communication device is described herein that has control (or at least partial control) over which virtual antenna(s) in one or more base stations to use for transmissions. In one embodiment, the mobile phone performs the following steps: (1) receives an antenna subset list (from the scheduling unit) which identifies a configuration of virtual antennas that is associated with the base station(s); (2) uses the antenna subset list to select which virtual antenna(s) in the configuration of virtual antennas to use for transmissions; and (3) sends an antenna selection signal (to the scheduling unit) which contains information that instructs/requests the base station(s)/scheduling unit to use the selected virtual antenna(s) for transmissions. | 03-19-2015 |
