Technique for adaptive equalization in band-limited high data rate communication over fading dispersive channels

In high data rate communication applications where digital data information is error-corrected coded and interleaved and transmitted with spectral limitations over fading dispersive channels, a method and receiver is described that incorporates channel estimation and decision-feedback equalization. Channel estimation is accomplished within a receiver time block with locally generated reference symbol sequences. The parameters of the decision-feedback equalizer (DFE) are computed directly from the channel estimates. The DFE is an optimum finite length realization that includes effects from spectrum control filtering, a space-time block coder (STBC) on multiple transmit antennas, multiple receiver diversity signals, and the fading dispersive channel. The DFE includes a matched filter, forward filter, backward filter, and detector. A symbol combiner within the matched filter produces a P+1 dimensional signal that provides ideal cancellation of P intersymbol interferers in the forward filter. When P is selected to meet an intersymbol interference (ISI) criterion, all desired signal energy is collected and all ISI can be ideally cancelled. The DFE processes received signals within the receiver time block to produce information symbol estimates that are subsequently deinterleaved and error-correction decoded to recover the transmitted digital data information. Deinterleaving over multiple receiver time blocks further compensates for channel estimation variations from block to block. Additionally the STBC and DFE are used in a quadruple angle diversity technique requiring only a single antenna at each terminal of a troposcatter link to provide performance approaching that of a nonfading satellite link.

Spread spectrum communication method and system using diversity correlation and multi-user detection

A communication system transmits and receives a plurality of spread-spectrum signals having differences in at least one diversity parameter. The signals are highly correlated when their diversity parameters are similar, and the signals are uncorrelated when at least one diversity parameter is different Any combination of a transmitter, a receiver, and a communication channel may diversity-encode the signals to effect differences in their diversity parameters. A receiver diversity-decoder compensates for differences in a diversity-parameter of at least one received signal to make the signal highly correlated with at least one other received signal. A correlator combines at least two of the received signals to recover an embedded information signal.

Wi-Fi Adaptive Receiver Diversity

Wireless communication devices with multiple receive (RX) chains may be operated to maintain high performance while saving power. This may be accomplished by evaluating signal strength during transmission of the RX packets, and / or evaluating a possible imbalance (gain difference) between the multiple RX chains within the wireless communication device. Signal strength (or good signal) detection may be enabled when non-MIMO (non-multiple-in-multiple-out) transmissions are taking place, while imbalance detection (antenna gain comparison) may be enabled when a specified number of single-stream packets have been received. Once the decision has been made to operate in a reduced number RX path mode, decision to reactivate one or more additional RX paths may be made based on MIMO detection, a detection of a drop in signal quality, and / or upon expiration of a power save timer.

Wi-fi adaptive receiver diversity and wi-fi adaptive transmit antenna selection

Wireless communication devices (UEs) may include multiple receive (RX) chains and associated antennas, and at least one transmit (TX) chain co-located with one of the RX chains. The UE may track instant fading of the antenna gain(s) during reception of packets from an associated access point (AP) device to which the UE intends to transmit packets. The UE may also track long term antenna gain(s), using any packets received at the multiple RX chains within the UE. At a switching occasion, a decision is made by the UE whether to switch antennas. If the instant fading detection is based on packets received no later than a specified time period prior to the switching occasion, then the UE may make the switching decision based on the results of the instant fading tracking. Otherwise, the UE may make the switching decision based on the results of the long term antenna gain tracking. The wireless communication devices may also evaluate signal strength during transmission of the RX packets, and / or may evaluate a possible imbalance (gain difference) between the multiple RX chains within the wireless communication device. Signal strength detection may be enabled when non-MIMO transmissions are taking place, while imbalance detection (antenna gain comparison) may be enabled when a specified number of single-stream packets have been received.
