Publication number: 20120113823Abstract: A method to increase throughput over a very high frequency aeronautical network is provided. The method comprises simultaneously receiving at least two downlink signals at a plurality of ground antennas at an aeronautical ground station of the very high frequency aeronautical network, generating a channel-state-information matrix based on preambles, decomposing the simultaneously received at least two downlink signals into respective ones of the at least two downlink signals, and decoding each of the respective ones of the decomposed at least two downlink signals. The at least two downlink signals include respective preambles indicative of a channel state. Solutions to the channel-state-information matrix are generated by a mean-square-error algorithm to avoid singularities in the solutions. The decomposing of the simultaneously received at least two downlink signals is based on the generated channel-state-information matrix.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 7, 2008Publication date: May 10, 2012Applicant: HONEYWELL INTERNATIONAL INC.Inventors: Dongsong Zeng, E.F.
