Apparatus And Method For Interference Cancellation In Multi-Antenna System

US Patent:
2008022, Sep 18, 2008
Filed:
Mar 14, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/048752
Inventors:
In-Soo HWANG - Yongin-si, KR
Jong-Hyung KWUN - Seongsam-si, KR
JEFF Andrews - Austin TX, US
SeiJoon SHIM - Austin TX, US
Robert Heath - Austin TX, US
Assignee:
SAMSUNG ELECTRONICS CO. LTD. - Suwon-si
BOARD OF REGENTS, THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS SYSTEM - Austin TX
International Classification:
H04B 1/06
US Classification:
4552781
Abstract:
An apparatus and method for interference cancellation in a multi-antenna system are provided. A transmission apparatus includes a channel identifier, a scheduler, an interference canceller, and a transmitter. The channel identifier identifies channel information of each of a plurality of receiving ends located in a service area and neighbor cell interference information on each receiving end. The scheduler selects at least one receiving end. The interference canceller precodes transmitted signals in order to cancel interference between receiving ends located in the same cell and neighbor cell interference. The transmitter transmits the precoded transmitted signals to the selected at least one receiving end.

Resource Allocation Scheduling Method For A Cellular Communication System

US Patent:
7392054, Jun 24, 2008
Filed:
May 31, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/141496
Inventors:
Sung-Hyun Cho - Seoul, KR
Robert W. Heath - Austin TX, US
Sang-Boh Yun - Seongnam-si, KR
Won-Hyoung Park - Seoul, KR
Manish Airy - Austin TX, US
Assignee:
Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.
Board of Regents, The University of Texas System - Austin TX
International Classification:
H04Q 7/20
US Classification:
455447, 455450, 370328
Abstract:
A resource allocation scheduling method for a cellular communication system that can avoid interference between cells. The method includes dividing a frequency band of a system into frames each having preferential allocation blocks and general allocation blocks on a time axis, classifying terminals in each cell into groups of terminals vulnerable to interference and terminals non-vulnerable to interference, and allocating resources by terminal groups according to priority orders given to the terminal groups. The preferential allocation resources designed to have the orthogonality to the interference cells, i. e. , sectors, on the time axis are allocated to the terminals vulnerable to the interference, and the remaining resources are allocated to the terminals non-vulnerable to the interference.

Spatial Mode Adaptation At The Cell Edge Using Interferer Spatial Correlation

US Patent:
8233926, Jul 31, 2012
Filed:
May 22, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/125604
Inventors:
Robert Heath - Austin TX, US
Tao Wu - Carlsbad CA, US
Assignee:
FutureWei Technologies, Inc. - Plano TX
International Classification:
H04B 15/00
US Classification:
455501
Abstract:
A system and method is proposed for adapting the spatial transmission strategy in a cellular MIMO (multiple input multiple output) communication system for the downlink. Spatial mode adaptation, the choice of multiplexing, transmit diversity, number of streams, space-time code family, and the like are performed slowly based on side information from other base stations. Base stations exchange their transmission plans with neighboring base stations and broadcast this information to active users. Each user measures its susceptibility to spatial interference and returns this information to the base station. The base station then schedules active users according to the decisions made in interfering base stations and the preferred transmission strategies of its own users.

System And Method For Reselecting Antennas In A Cellular Mobile Communication System Using Multiple Antennas

US Patent:
7486931, Feb 3, 2009
Filed:
Apr 14, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/105984
Inventors:

Board of Regents, The University of Texas System - Austin TX
International Classification:
H04B 1/02, H04B 7/02, H04M 1/00
US Classification:
455 39, 455 6711, 455101, 4552772, 4555621
Abstract:
A cellular mobile communication system using multiple antennas reselects a plurality of transmission antennas of base stations connected to a mobile station. The system includes measuring a channel quality parameter used for estimation of channel performance, determining whether to reselect the transmission antennas using the measured channel quality parameter, reselecting transmission antennas of the base stations connected to the mobile station, and connecting the reselected transmission antennas to the base station.

US Patent:
2008008, Apr 3, 2008
Filed:
Aug 20, 2007

Precoder And Precoding Method In A Multi-Antenna System

US Patent:
2008018, Jul 31, 2008
Filed:
Jan 29, 2008
Appl. No.:

Robert Heath - Austin TX, US
Assignee:
SAMSUNG ELECTRONICS CO., LTD. - Suwon-city
BOARD OF REGENTS, THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS SYSTEM - Austin TX
International Classification:
H04B 1/00
US Classification:
375148
Abstract:
A precoder and a precoding method in a multiuser multi-antenna system are provided. The precoder includes a channel checker for determining a DownLink (DL) channel condition of terminals in a service coverage area, a pre-compensator for pre-compensating, for channel distortion, signals to be sent to the terminals when a nonlinear algorithm is selected based on the channel condition of the terminals, and an interference remover for canceling interference in a channel by multiplying the pre-compensated signals by inverse channels of the terminals, and for canceling interference between the terminals. Accordingly, the pre-equalization can be carried out without global channel state information, and an increase of the transmit power can be prevented in the permutation.

Apparatus And Method For Scheduling Resource In A Multiuser Mimo Radio Communication System

US Patent:
2005004, Feb 24, 2005
Filed:
Aug 18, 2004
Appl. No.:

SAMSUNG ELECTRONICS CO., LTD. - GYEONGGI-DO
BOARD OF REGENTS THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS SYSTEM - AUSTIN TX
International Classification:
H04Q007/20
US Classification:
455450000
Abstract:
In a multiuser Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) radio communication system, a transmitter receives channel quality information transmitted from receivers, schedules resource for the receivers within a corresponding scheduling epoch based on the received channel quality information. Thereafter, the transmitter pre-codes signals to be transmitted to the resource-scheduled receivers in a predetermined coding method before transmission, thereby maximizing system transmission efficiency.
