20080317014 | METHOD FOR OPTIMIZING SPATIAL MODULATION IN A WIRELESS LINK AND NETWORK ELEMENT THERETO - The selection of the spatial mode together with modulation and encoding schemes based on channel condition measurements requested from MS forms a basis for selecting a best transmission data rate in a wireless link in every channel conditions. A method and network element comprising multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) capable antenna technology allows the use of a best transmission data rate in the channel if selection of transmission mode has been made correctly. The thresholds for transmission mode selections are pre-determined and compared to instantaneous channel quality information. The practical MIMO solution based on correct selection procedure provides also continuous sufficient channel condition for terminal users when the user moves from LOS situation to NLOS situation. | 12-25-2008 |
20090005120 | TRANSMISSION METHOD FOR COMMON CHANNELS - A method and base station arrangement by which broadcast info messages can be transmitted using cyclic delays and a beamformer to the whole cell simultaneously. In the method during the broadcast info transmission cyclic delays are introduced to the transmitted symbols before the symbols are fed to a beamformer. The delayed symbols are transmitted using antennas connected to the beamformer. By utilizing cyclic delays dead zones can be avoided in the cell or sector. The method can be utilized for example in WiMAX, WiFi, UMTS or 3 | 01-01-2009 |

20100322337 | CLOSED LOOP FEEDBACK SYSTEM FOR IMPROVED DOWN LINK PERFORMANCE - A method includes receiving at least two space-time coded signals from an antenna system associated with a first station, determining complex channel state information based on the received space-time coded signals, and sending the complex channel state information to the first station. In an alternative embodiment, a method includes transmitting at least two space-time coded signals in respective beams of a multi-beam antenna array, measuring a channel impulse response for each space-time coded signal at a second station, and sending an indicia of a selected set of least attenuated signals from the second station to the first station. The multi-beam antenna array is associated with a first station. The beams transmit a signature code embedded in each respective space-time coded signal, and the signature codes are orthogonal so that the second station can separate and measure the channel impulse response corresponding to each space-time coded signal. | 12-23-2010 |
