Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a system and method for selecting a sub-group of user terminals (UTs) among a group of UTs served by a sector of a cellular network to schedule independent data streams for transmission to over the same time-frequency interval. In one embodiment, the sub-group of UTs is selected to limit inter-user interference among the sub-group of UTs. In another embodiment, the sub-group of UTs is selected to limit inter-user interference experienced by a UT that is at or near the boundary of the sector that serves the sub-group of UTs.

Abstract: Embodiments of a method and system for supporting co-existence of first and second cellular networks in adjacent channels in the same geographical area are provided. The method and system synchronize the two cellular networks such that their respective uplink transmissions are aligned in time and their respective downlink transmissions are aligned in time. Such synchronization prevents (or substantially prevents) the uplink transmissions from one of the two cellular networks from overlapping with the downlink transmissions of the other cellular network, and vice versa, thereby mitigating interference between the two networks.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a system and method for determining an EIRP constraint for a data stream based on the direction that a beam carrying the data stream is to be radiated by an array of antennas rather than using a fixed EIRP constraint for all such beams. The system and method can use the direction the beam is to be radiated to determine a distance between the array of antennas and the closest point (or location) in which a human being can potentially be impacted by the radiated beam. For larger distances, the EIRP constraint can be adjusted upward, allowing for higher transmit power levels. Conversely, for comparatively smaller distances, the EIRP constraint can be adjusted downward, allowing for lower transmit power levels.

Abstract: A computationally efficient pulse shaping method for OFDM that produces mutually orthogonal transmission pulses having fast spectral decay is provided. The pulse shaping method comprises an iterative method for designing OFDM transmission pulses that satisfy prescribed time-frequency localization conditions. The iterative method may be implemented in a computationally efficient way and can be used to adapt the transmission pulses to time-varying channel conditions in real-time, thereby maximizing the bit-error performance of an OFDM system while maintaining high data rates in wireless transmission.
