| 20080253471 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ADAPTIVE BIT LOADING IN A MULTIPLE ANTENNA ORTHOGONAL FREQUENCY DIVISION MULTIPLEXED COMMUNICATION SYSTEM - In an orthogonal frequency division multiplexed (OFDM) system, a transmitter and/or receiver communicate separate data streams on non-orthogonal spatial channels. Each spatial channel may use the same set of OFDM subcarriers and may take advantage of the multipath characteristics of the spatial channel allowing the communication of additional data without an increase in frequency bandwidth. Space-frequency subcarrier modulation assignments may be dynamically assigned on a per subcarrier basis as well as a per spatial channel basis to help maximize the data-carrying capacity of the channel. In some embodiments, each of the spatial channels may be associated with one of a plurality of spatially diverse antennas. In other embodiments, beamforming may be performed to allow the transmission and/or reception of signals within the spatial channels. | 10-16-2008 |
| 20090245405 | MIMO TRANSMITTER AND METHOD FOR TRANSMITTING A GROUP OF SEQUENTIAL OFDM SYMBOLS IN ACCORDANCE WITH AN IEEE 802.16 COMMUNICATION STANDARD - A multiple-input-multiple output (MIMO) transmitter for transmitting a group of sequential orthogonal frequency division multiplexed (OFDM) symbols on a time-division duplexed (TDD) channel in accordance with an IEEE 802.16 standard using a plurality of antennas. The MIMO transmitter comprises a spatial-frequency parser to parse a block of bits into spatial-frequency blocks of a variable number of coded bits, and subcarrier modulators to individually modulate OFDM subcarriers with the spatial-frequency blocks in accordance with spatial-frequency subcarrier modulation assignments to generate groups of symbol-modulated subcarriers. The TDD channel comprises a plurality of the groups of the OFDM subcarriers, and the OFDM subcarriers within each group of subcarriers and within each group of sequential OFDM symbols have the same spatial-frequency subcarrier modulation assignments. | 10-01-2009 |
| 20090252257 | MIMO TRANSMITTER AND METHOD FOR TRANSMITTING AN OFDM SYMBOL IN ACCORDANCE WITH AN IEEE 802.11 COMMUNICATION STANDARD OVER A PLURALITY OF SPATIAL CHANNELS - A multiple-input-multiple output (MIMO) transmitter for transmitting an orthogonal frequency division multiplexed (OFDM) symbol over a plurality of spatial channels using a plurality of antennas is described. The transmitter includes encoding circuitry to encode blocks of input bits in accordance with a variable encoding rate to generate blocks of encoded bits and a spatial-frequency parser to parse the blocks of encoded bits into spatial-frequency groups. The transmitter also includes subcarrier modulators to modulate each spatial-frequency group of encoded bits on one of the OFDM subcarriers to generate symbol-modulated subcarriers. Spatial-frequency groups having a greater number of encoded bits are modulated at higher-order modulation levels and spatial-frequency groups having a lesser number of encoded bits are modulated at lower-order modulation orders. | 10-08-2009 |
