Reuse of codes and spectrum in a CDMA system with multiple-sector cells

A system and a method for code division multiple access (CDMA) communication. The system includes fixed terminals communicating with a central base station. The terminals in protection sectors of each sector are configured to employ codes from different sets of codes to overcome potential mutual interference between sectors on account of antenna radiation pattern roll-off. The remaining codes, preferably the majority of the available codes, are used in any one of a plurality of basic sectors, each of which separates the protection sectors of a respective sector. For an even number of sectors in a cell, the available codes are partitioned into three groups, two for the protection sectors and one for the basic sectors. For an odd number of sectors in a cell, the available codes are partitioned into four groups, three for the protection sectors and one for the basic sectors. Protection sectors are relatively narrow but broad enough to counteract the potential mutual interference between sectors.

Multi-Pattern Wireless Frame Transmission

Multi-pattern transmission of wireless frames. A digital device contains a transmitter feeding an electronically steerable antenna system where the radiation pattern produced by the antenna system may be selected. Different antenna radiation patterns are used in transmitting a first portion of a wireless frame and a second portion of a wireless frame in a wireless digital network. In one embodiment, a first portion of a wireless frame is transmitted using a wide radiation pattern while the second portion of the frame is transmitted using a second radiation pattern. Switching among radiation patterns in the electronically steerable antenna system may be accomplished by switching between antenna types, such as an omnidirectional antenna for the wide pattern, and beam-steered or sectorized antennas for the second radiation pattern. Beam-forming and / or phasing approaches may also be used. The first and second portions of the frame may be transmitted at different power levels. For high throughput (HT) frames such as IEEE 802.11n frames, the non-HT preamble and L-Sig are taken as the first portion of the frame, with the HT-Sig, HT-training and HT-data portions of the frame taken as the second portion of the frame, transmitted using a narrower radiation pattern.

Systems and methods for selecting reconfigurable antennas in MIMO systems

A method allows reconfigurable multi-element antennas to select the antenna configuration in MIMO, SIMO and MISO communication system. This selection scheme uses spatial correlation, channel reciprocal condition number, delay spread and average Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) information to select the antenna radiation pattern at the receiver. Using this approach, it is possible to achieve capacity gains in a multi-element reconfigurable antenna system without modifying the data frame of a conventional wireless communication system. The capacity gain achievable with this configuration selection approach is calculated through numerical simulations using reconfigurable circular patch antennas at the receiver of a MIMO system that employs minimum mean square error receivers for channel estimation. Channel capacity and Bit Error Rate (BER) results show the improvement offered relative to a conventional antenna selection technique for reconfigurable MIMO systems.
