| 20090232254 | Detector Using Limited Symbol Candidate Generation for MIMO Communication Systems - A circuit detects symbols transmitted from multiple transmitting antennas to multiple receiving antennas. A distance block for an initial transmitting antenna in an ordering of the transmitting antennas determines a distance value for each symbol in a constellation. A selector block selects a limited number of candidates for the initial transmitting antenna from the symbols having smaller distance values. For each first and successive second transmitting antenna in the ordering, a distance-selector block selects a candidate for the second transmitting antenna for each candidate for the first transmitting antenna. The candidate for the second transmitting antenna is a pairing having a smaller distance value among the pairings of the candidate for the first transmitting antenna and the symbols. An identifier block selects a last candidate having a smaller distance value among the candidates for a last transmitting antenna in the ordering. The last candidate includes the detected symbols. | 09-17-2009 |
| 20100007565 | Detecting In-Phase and Quadrature-Phase Amplitudes of MIMO Communications - 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. | 01-14-2010 |
| 20100008451 | Symbol Detection in a MIMO Communication System - Circuits are provided for detecting symbols transmitted from multiple transmitting antennas to multiple receiving antennas. A circuit includes distance blocks, selectors, and an identifier block. Each distance-block includes at least one sub-block, and each sub-block inputs a candidate for a corresponding transmitting antenna. The sub-block determines partial distances for pairings of the candidate and each symbol in a constellation from a partial distance of the candidate and signals received at the receiving antennas. At least one selector assigns each pairing for each candidate for a corresponding transmitting antenna to a bin having a range that includes the partial distance of the pairing. The selector selects candidates for a successive transmitting antenna from the bins having the smaller ranges. The identifier block selects a final candidate that is one of the pairings for a last transmitting antenna having a smaller partial distance. | 01-14-2010 |
| 20100040177 | MIMO Symbol Detection for SNR Higher and Lower than a Threshold - A system detects symbols communicated from multiple transmitting antennas to multiple receiving antennas. A first detector determines the symbols from respective partial distances of potential choices for symbols from a constellation. A second detector determines the symbols from respective partial distances of more potential choices. The first and second detectors determine their partial distances from signals received at the receiving antennas. The second detector has a lower bit error rate than the first detector. The potential choices for the second antenna are smaller than the potential choices for the first antenna in response to a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) being higher than a threshold. An evaluator estimates the SNR of the signals received at the receiving antennas. The evaluator enables the first detector in response to the SNR being lower than the threshold, and the evaluator enables the second detector in response to the SNR being higher than the threshold. | 02-18-2010 |
| 20110080964 | ADAPTIVE CODEBOOK FOR BEAMFORMING IN LIMITED FEEDBACK MIMO SYSTEMS - A method for beamforming is described. The method includes generating a pseudo-random unitary matrix. A first codebook is rotated with the pseudo-random unitary matrix. The method includes generating a second codebook based upon the rotated codebook and a correlation matrix.
