Patent number: 10270520Abstract: A, method and apparatus for wirelessly transmitting data to a plurality of terminals in each of a plurality of beams through a plurality of transmit feeds includes selecting, for each beam, two or more terminals among the plurality of terminals in the beam as a subgroup of terminals, on the basis of channel state information of the plurality of terminals; determining, for each beam, equivalent channel state information representing the subgroup of terminals in the beam on the basis of the channel state information of the terminals of at least one of the plural subgroups of terminals; and determining a set of weight coefficients that relate the plurality of transmit feeds to a plurality of signals that are intended for transmission in the plurality of beams on the basis of the equivalent channel state information representing the plural subgroups of terminals.Type: GrantFiled: April 14, 2015Date of Patent: April 23, 2019Assignee: European Space AgencyInventors: Pantelis-Daniel Arapoglou, Alberto Ginesi, Giorgio Taricco, Dimitrios Christopoulos, Symeon Chatzinotas, Bjorn Ottersten, Miguel Angel Vazquez, Ana Isabel Perez-Neira, Stefano Andrenacci, Alessandro Vanelli Coralli

Patent number: 8644264Abstract: Methods and systems for estimating and canceling pilot interference in a wireless (e.g., CDMA) communication system. In one method, a received signal comprised of a number of signal instances, each including a pilot, is initially processed to provide data samples. Each signal instance's pilot interference may be estimated by despreading the data samples with a spreading sequence for the signal instance, channelizing the despread data to provide pilot symbols, filtering the pilot symbols to estimate the channel response of the signal instance, and multiplying the estimated channel response with the spreading sequence. The pilot interference estimates due to a plurality of interfering multipaths are accumulated to derive the total pilot interference, which is subtracted from the data samples to provide pilot-canceled data samples. These samples are then processed to derive demodulated data for each of at least one (desired) signal instance in the received signal.Type: GrantFiled: October 7, 2010Date of Patent: February 4, 2014Assignee: Qualcomm IncorporatedInventors: Alessandro Vanelli Coralli, Henry David Pfister, Jilei Hou, John Edward Smee, Roberto Padovani, Brian K.

Publication number: 20100118920Abstract: Satellite communication transmitter and receiver in a DVB-S2 system are provided. The satellite communication transmitter includes a modulator to modulate a satellite communication signal to be transmitted, and a spread spectrum unit to spread the modulated signal and transmit the spread signal. Accordingly, it is possible to reduce interference with a neighboring channel.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 6, 2009Publication date: May 13, 2010Applicant: Electronics and Telecommunications Research InstituteInventors: Pan-soo KIM, Dae-ig CHANG, Ho-jin LEE, A.

Patent number: 3981168Abstract: A cylinder lock mechanism of conventional type, comprising a fixed outer cylinder and an inner rotatable plug, to be mounted on a door frame, is protected by a hollow cylindrical steel casing which is fitted onto the outer cylinder of said lock mechanism. The cylindrical casing is partially closed in correspondence of the end of the cylinder lock mechanism presenting the keyhole for the insertion of the key, while it is open at the other end, which is the end directed towards the inside of the door. The outer cylinder of the cylinder lock mechanism and the protective casing are secured to the door frame independently from each other, and the outer cylinder can, if desired, rotate within the cavity of the protective casing. An additional protective disc provided with a slot for the insertion of the key into the keyhole is inserted between the front end of the cylinder lock mechanism and the internal side of the partially closed end of the casing.Type: GrantFiled: August 18, 1975Date of Patent: September 21, 1976Assignee: Viro Innocenti S.p.A.Inventors: Giorgio Vanelli Coralli, Alessandro Brunelli
