Abstract: A method for processing signals in a multi-antenna CDMA radio communication system extracts control signals by despreading signals transmitted to a specific user through the antennas using a spreading factor, estimating weight values of respective ones of the antennas using at least one signal separated from the extracted control signals, and extracting data signals by despreading remaining signals, except for the control signals, using control information provided from control channels. The method then multiplies the extracted data signals by the weight values of the respective antennas, and combines and outputs the data signals multiplied by the weight values.

Abstract: A signal transmission apparatus and method for a mobile communication system are disclosed. Beamforming is performed on each symbol using the correlation as well as the independence between antennas, and then the beamformed symbols are transmitted. Thus, both the correlation between antennas and the independence between antennas are all considered, so that the gain according to the correlation between antennas can be also obtained. In addition, the additional gain would lead to enhancement of the symbol detection capability of the sending end, so that performance of the MIMO system can be remarkably heightened.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an adaptive algorithm and device for the same, for calculating a weight vector to be applied to an adaptive array antenna system, suggesting an adaptive algorithm suitable for calculating an autocovariance matrix of signal vectors of signals received from antennas before despreading in a known channel code, and an autocovariance matrix of signal vectors of signals received from antennas after being despread in the known channel code. Particularly, the calculation is carried out with the autocovariance matrix of the signal vector before the despread divided into diagonal components and non-diagonal components.

Abstract: In a method of data communication between two transceivers in multiple-input multiple-output radio communication system according to the present invention, a first transceiver simultaneously transmits one or more data symbols corresponding to a single data stream over a plurality of transmit antennas of a first transceiver in consideration of independencies of the transmit antennas and priorities of the data symbols, and a second transceiver receives the data symbols through a plurality of receive antennas and recovers the data stream from the received data symbols.

Abstract: An adaptive beamforming method for an antenna array is provided in which an array output is calculated based on a weight vector w, which is determined from an eigenvector corresponding to a maximum eigenvalue&lgr; of a generalized eigenvalue problem consisting of autocovariance matrixes Rxx and Ryy of received signal vectors y and x, respectively. The present invention dramatically decreases the total computation requirements by omitting complex matrix operations from the weight vector calculation, thereby making it possible to reduce the weight vector calculation time so as to form the beam pattern for the array antenna system in real time.

Abstract: A method for transmitting signal in a mobile communication system allocates symbols which will be transmitted to transmitting antennas appropriately as considering detection efficiencies of symbols on a higher order modulation constellation and correlation between antennas, and thereby independent symbol transmission can be made and independence between antennas can be improved to improve accuracy of symbol detection on a receiving end and signal transmitting function of the system can be improved. Therefore, a pair of symbols having the longest distance between symbols is arranged to a pair of antennas having higher correlation and a pair of symbols having the shortest distance between symbols is arranged to a pair of antennas having lower correlation. Also, symbols having higher detection efficiency are allocated to antennas having higher correlation and symbols having lower detection efficiency are allocated to antennas having lower correlation.
