  • Patent number: 11923927
    Abstract: A method for detecting transmitted data in a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) receiver, the method comprising: iteratively calculating symbol estimates by: obtaining input symbol estimates and input symbol variances; calculating error values for the input symbol estimates; refining the input symbol estimates to obtain refined symbol estimates, based on the error values, wherein the refined symbol estimates are used as input symbol estimates for the subsequent iteration of the above calculation, and wherein the refined symbol estimates are used as final symbol estimates when the difference between refined symbol estimates from one iteration to the next is below a threshold change.

  • Publication number: 20180261928
    Abstract: This disclosure relates to linear antenna arrays and methods for configuring linear antenna arrays. The disclosed linear antenna array comprises a linear antenna base and at least four antenna groups. Each antenna group comprises one or more antenna elements electrically connected to the antenna base. The at least four antenna groups are located along the linear antenna base according to a projection of multiple points of an arch onto the linear antenna base. The multiple points of the arch define respective radii, wherein the linear antenna base is a chord of the arch, and the multiple points of the arch are distributed along the arch such that an angle between two adjacent radii is equal to the angle between any other two adjacent radii.

  • Patent number: 9083481
    Abstract: This invention discloses a system, method and computer-readable medium for actively cancelling interference signals. The system mentioned above communicates with at least one first transceiver. The abovementioned system includes at least one second transceiver, and a relay base station receiving a feedback signal from the at least one second transceiver and an environmental signal to execute a signal correlation function to get a result and determining to generate an anti-interference signal depending on the result. Herein, the relay base station cancels interference signals around the at least one first transceiver by sending the anti-interference signal to the at least one first transceiver via at least one third transceiver having an optimal communication channel to the at least one first transceiver.

  • Patent number: 8416730
    Abstract: This invention concerns distributed turbo coding and relaying protocols in wireless relay networks. In particular, the invention concerns a method for relaying signals at a relay node, a method for processing signals at a destination node, a relay system and software to perform the methods. The wireless relay networks comprise a source node, a destination node and one or more relay nodes. At a relay node, the invention comprises the steps of receiving a signal from a first node; decoding the received signal; and if the received signal is decoded incorrectly, employing an Amplify-And-Forward (AAF) relaying protocol comprising the steps of amplifying the received signal and then transmitting the amplified signal to a second node; but otherwise, employing a Decode-And-Forward (DAF) relaying protocol comprising the steps of re-encoding the decoded signal and then transmitting the coded signal to the second node.
