Patent number: 9392465Abstract: The invention relates to a link adaptation method for a cellular or heterogeneous wireless telecommunications system. The communications of the system are organized in pairs of interfering communications. For a first communication between a first transmitting terminal and a first receiving terminal interfering with a second communication between a second transmitting terminal and a second receiving terminal, the first and/or second link(s) are adapted, at a constant transmission power, by selecting a weak or strong interference regime for the first and/or second link(s), the weak regime corresponding to processing of the interference as thermal noise, the strong regime corresponding to processing in which the interfering communication is decoded in order to be eliminated from the received signal.Type: GrantFiled: February 3, 2014Date of Patent: July 12, 2016Assignee: Commissariat a l'energie atomique et aux energies alternativesInventors: Emilio Calvanese Strinati, Cedric Abgrall

Patent number: 8862059Abstract: The present invention relates to a communication method supervised by an interference classification. For two couples of transmitting and receiving terminals having communications using the same radio resources and interfering with each other, a partition of the interference diagram into a plurality of distinct zones is determined, each zone corresponding to a particular processing. For an operating point of the transmitting and receiving terminals, the zone in which this point is located is determined, and the processing associated with that zone is performed in at least one of the receiving terminals.Type: GrantFiled: July 25, 2011Date of Patent: October 14, 2014Assignee: Commissariat a l'energie atomique et aux energies alternativesInventors: Cédric Abgrall, Emilio Calvanese Strinati

Patent number: 8626229Abstract: The present invention relates to a centralized power allocation method in a wireless telecommunication system comprising at least a first couple of terminals, consisting of a first transmitting terminal and a first receiving terminal, and a second couple of terminals, consisting of a second transmitting terminal and a second receiving terminal. A control node partitions the interference diagram between the communication of the first couple and the communication of the second couple, into different areas, each area being associated to a type of processing of the interference. The control node calculates the minimum power curve for each communication in each said area. The power values to be allocated are given by the coordinates of the point of intersection of both curves in said diagram.Type: GrantFiled: July 8, 2011Date of Patent: January 7, 2014Assignee: Commissariat à l'énergie atomique et aux énergies alternativesInventors: Cédric Abgrall, Emilio Calvanese Strinati

Patent number: 8504010Abstract: A method of power allocation in a wireless telecommunication system including at least a first couple of terminals, including a first transmitting terminal and of a first receiving terminal, and of a second couple of terminals, including a second transmitting terminal and a second receiving terminal. After a phase of initialization of the allocated powers, a plurality of iterations are carried out, each iteration including a first half-iteration, which is the task of the first couple of terminals, and a second half-iteration which is the task of the second couple of terminals. Each half-iteration includes a step of estimating the signal-to-noise and interference-to-noise ratios by the receiving terminal, and a step of calculating the minimum output power compatible with the treatment of the interference, for the prescribed throughput of the call in question.Type: GrantFiled: July 7, 2011Date of Patent: August 6, 2013Assignee: Commissariat à l'énergie atomique et aux énergies alternativesInventors: Cédric Abgrall, Emilio Calvanese Strinati

Publication number: 20120021757Abstract: The present invention relates to a distributed method of power allocation in a wireless telecommunication system comprising at least a first couple of terminals, consisting of a first transmitting terminal and of a first receiving terminal, and of a second couple of terminals, consisting of a second transmitting terminal and a second receiving terminal. After a phase of initialization of the allocated powers (615), a plurality of iterations is carried out, each iteration comprising a first half-iteration (620, 630, 640), which is the task of the first couple, and a second half-iteration (650, 660, 670) which is the task of the second couple of terminals. Each half-iteration comprises a step (620) of estimation of the signal-to-noise and interference-to-noise ratios by the receiving terminal, a step (630, 640) of calculating the minimum output power compatible with the treatment of the interference, for the prescribed throughput of the call in question.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 7, 2011Publication date: January 26, 2012Applicant: COMMISSARIAT A L'ENERGIE ATOMIQUE ET AUX ENE ALTInventors: Cédric Abgrall, Emilio Calvanese Strinati

Publication number: 20110013584Abstract: The invention concerns a method to allocate transmission resources in a cell network of cooperative type. Each cell comprises a source, a receiver and optionally a half-duplex relay to relay data transmitted by the source to the receiver. The invention draws advantage from the half-duplex mode of a relay belonging to a cell, by allocating to the source of a neighbouring cell a resource used by this relay during one same transmission timeslot.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 9, 2010Publication date: January 20, 2011Applicant: Comm. a I' ener. atom. et aux energies alter.Inventors: Emilio Calvanese Strinati, Cédric Abgrall
