Abrégé

A base station for a multiple-input, multiple-output (MIMO) array receives a message that includes information identifying the transmitting and receiving nodes. Based on whether the base station has access to up-to-date channel covariance matrices for the nodes, the base station selectively performs a clear channel assessment in an unlicensed frequency band concurrently with placing nulls in directions associated with the nodes. In some cases, the up-to-date channel covariance matrices are used to place nulls in the directions associated with the nodes concurrently with performing the clear channel assessment in response to the up-to-date channel covariance matrices being available to the base station. Placement of nulls in the directions associated with the nodes is bypassed in response to the up-to-date channel covariance matrices not being available to the base station.

Abrégé

The present invention discloses methods for compensating crosstalk in the optical communication system (100, 200). In order to simplify the calculation required for the crosstalk compensation in joint DSP, according to one aspect of the invention, the optical signals from the channel(s) to be compensated and at least part of the channels having crosstalk on those channel(s) shall be modulation phase aligned with respect to the symbols when they are received. In this way, oversampling can be avoided, and the complexity of crosstalk compensation using joint DSP can be reduced. According to another aspect of the invention, the calculation required for the crosstalk compensation in joint DSP is simplified by reducing the number of samples, so that for each symbol to be compensated, the crosstalk compensation module only needs to calculate one sample from each channel having a component in the received signal of the channel to be compensated, even if the signal was oversampled.

Abrégé

A MIMO precoder, a method and a computer program product are disclosed. The MIMO precoder comprises: a first plurality of digital signal inputs, each operable to receive a corresponding one of a first plurality of digital data streams containing data for transmission to reception equipment; processing logic operable generate a second plurality of precoded digital data streams by performing a digital beamforming function and a digital predistortion function on the first plurality of digital data streams; and a second plurality of signal outputs, each operable to output a corresponding one of the second plurality of precoded digital data streams to a corresponding transceiver for transmission to the reception equipment. In this way, the digital data streams can be precoded to perform both digital beam-forming and digital pre-distortion jointly on the digital data streams so that they can be optimized simultaneously within the processing logic and then each precoded digital data stream provided directly to the transceiver chain which drives an associated antenna element. This provides a scalable arrangement where the precoding can be performed independently of the transceiver chain. This provides for a flexible architecture where the precoding is decoupled from the operation of the transceiver chain and the antenna array, which enables these units to be spatially separated if required. Also, by performing digital pre-distortion, the RF amplifiers can be operated in the non-linear, high efficiency operation region.

Abrégé

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a method for hybrid precoding and a communication device. For example, at a communication device in a wireless communication system, a plurality of signals associated with a pilot are received from a plurality of antennas of a further communication device over a wireless channel. Then, angle-domain characteristics of the wireless channel are determined based on the plurality of signals, and spatial correlation characteristics of the wireless channel is determined based on the determined angle-domain characteristics. Moreover, since complete channel state information is no longer needed in determining the spatial correlation characteristics of the wireless channel, the pilot-related signals shorten in the time are sent from the transmitter end to the receiver end. There is further disclosed a communication device capable of implementing the above method.

Abrégé

The present invention relates to a communication unit comprising an echo canceler (140) for generating an echo suppression signal (ECHOSUP) to be superimposed at a receiver input to a receive analog signal comprising at least one of a far-end signal (RXSIG) received from a transmission medium (200) and an echo signal (ECHOSIG) resulting from a near-end signal (TXSIG) being transmitted from a transmitter output over the transmission medium and coupling through an echo coupling path (I) into the receiver input; and a controller (150) for controlling the operation of the echo cancel er. The controller applies at least one first gain value (α1, β1, γ1) across the echo coupling path for the receive analog signal to be power- constrained below a first power threshold at the receiver input, receives first measurements of the receive analog signal performed while the near-end signal is being transmitted with the at least one first gain value in force and without the echo suppression signal being generated, and determines a first estimate (II) of the echo coupling path from the first measurements. The echo canceler generates the echo suppression signal based on the first estimate. The controller thereupon substitutes at least one nominal gain value (α2, β2, γ2) used for regular communication over the transmission medium for the respective at least one first gain value, receives second measurements of the receive analog signal performed while the near-end signal is being transmitted with the at least one nominal gain value in force and while the echo suppression signal based on the first estimate is being generated and superimposed to the receive analog signal, and determines a second estimate (III) of the echo coupling path from the second measurements. The echo canceler then adjusts the echo suppression signal based on the second estimate. The present invention also relates to a method for controlling an echo suppression signal.
