20120224861 | DYNAMIC SPATIAL-MODE ALLOCATION IN AN UNDER-ADDRESSED OPTICAL MIMO SYSTEM - The outage probability in an under-addressed optical MIMO system may be reduced by configuring a spatial-mode coupler at a transmitter and/or a spatial-mode separator at a receiver to dynamically change its spatial-mode configuration on a time scale that is shorter than the channel coherence time. Provided that the MIMO system employs an FEC code that has a sufficient error-correcting capacity for correcting the amount of errors corresponding to an average state of the MIMO channel established between the transmitter and receiver, this relatively fast dynamic change tends to reduce the frequency of events during which the number of errors per FEC-encoded block of data exceeds the error-correcting capacity of the FEC code. | 09-06-2012 |
20120224863 | MULTIPATH CHANNEL FOR OPTICAL SUBCARRIER MODULATION - In a representative embodiment, a multipath channel and an optical subcarrier modulation scheme are designed in concert to cause different modulated subcarriers of the optical communication signal to become substantially uncorrelated over the aggregate signal bandwidth. Provided that the employed FEC code has sufficient error-correcting capability for average channel conditions, breakdowns in the operation of the FEC decoder and the corresponding system outages can substantially be avoided. | 09-06-2012 |

20080268834 | Method of grouping users to reduce interference in mimo-based wireless network - In a system of MIMO communications in a wireless network, a number of wireless units are logically divided into a plurality of user groups, through operation of a semi-orthogonal user selection sub-system. For example, the user selection sub-system may implement a heuristic user selection algorithm based on near-orthogonality. Each user group is assigned a discrete transmission channel, which may be orthogonally defined in terms of frequency, time, or code. Data is transmitted over the channels (e.g., from network base stations) in a coherently coordinated manner, according to a zero-forcing beamforming operation. The system may be configured for operation in a time/frequency selective manner, e.g., over time/frequency selective fading channels. The wireless units may be allocated to the time/frequency slots based on prioritization of channel strength and considerations of fairness, in conjunction with the application of a semi-orthogonal user selection algorithm. | 10-30-2008 |
20080299981 | Method of coordinated wireless downlink transmission - To reduce intercell interference, a method of coherently coordinated downlink transmission in a wireless network involves coordinating transmissions from a plurality of base stations to a plurality of wireless units, for coherent, reinforced reception of the transmitted signals at the wireless units. Thus, transmissions from the base stations are coordinated such that signals received at each wireless unit's particular location constructively add, but cancel out at other locations. The signals are generated based on a zero-forcing operation, e.g., by applying zero-forcing complex antenna weight vectors to data symbols designated for transmission to the wireless units. For fairness, the signals are transmitted at no less than a guaranteed common rate. A convex optimization problem (which incorporates a per-base station power constraint or a per-transmission antenna power constraint) is solved to maximize the guaranteed common rate. Dirty paper coding may also be employed. | 12-04-2008 |
20120184203 | Interference Coordination for Communication Network - Techniques are disclosed for interference coordination in communication networks. For example, a method comprises the following steps. Input information is obtained from a communication network. The input information comprises existing power levels associated with transmitting nodes in the communication network, and existing channel information associated with receiving nodes in the communication network. A coordinated resource set of future transmitting times and future power levels associated with the transmitting nodes and future decoding times associated with the receiving nodes that reduce interference in the communication network is determined. The coordinated resource set determination comprises evaluating a cost function for a given range of interference values based on at least a portion of the input information. In a downlink scenario, the transmitting nodes may comprise base stations and relays, and the receiving nodes may comprise user equipment. The method may also be applied to an uplink scenario. | 07-19-2012 |

20120224807 | INTRA-LINK SPATIAL-MODE MIXING IN AN UNDER-ADDRESSED OPTICAL MIMO SYSTEM - The outage probability in an under-addressed optical MIMO system may be reduced by configuring an intra-link optical mode mixer to dynamically change the spatial-mode mixing characteristics of the link on a time scale that is faster than the channel coherence time. Provided that the MIMO system employs an FEC code that has a sufficient error-correcting capacity for correcting the amount of errors corresponding to an average state of the MIMO channel, this relatively fast dynamic change tends to reduce the frequency of events during which the number of errors per FEC-encoded block of data exceeds the error-correcting capacity of the FEC code. | 09-06-2012 |
