Patent number: 9461849Abstract: A method and system for wireless communication in a wireless communication network. The wireless communication network has a first mobile terminal and a second mobile terminal arranged in virtual multiple input, multiple output (“V-MIMO”) communication with a base station. A first wireless communication uplink channel corresponding to the first mobile terminal is estimated. The estimate is based on a first reference symbol signal and the cancellation of interference from a second reference symbol signal received from the second mobile terminal. A second wireless communication uplink channel corresponding to the second mobile terminal is estimated. The estimate is based on the second reference symbol signal and the cancellation of interference from the first reference symbol signal received from the first mobile terminal.Type: GrantFiled: June 15, 2015Date of Patent: October 4, 2016Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: John P. Panicker, Gary D. Boudreau, Michael Petras, Ed Illidge

Patent number: 8966607Abstract: A method is provided for filtering unwanted packets in a communication system. The communication system includes a first network, a wireless network and at least one wireless communication device. An instruction to add an entry to a blocked list is received from a specific wireless device. The entry includes blocking criteria. A first packet is received from the first network. The first packet is destined for the specific wireless communication device. If the first packet exhibits the blocking criteria included in the blocked list, the first packet is discarded before it can be distributed by the wireless network.Type: GrantFiled: July 15, 2009Date of Patent: February 24, 2015Assignee: Rockstar Consortium US LPInventors: Martin Sauter, Ed Illidge, Wayne Wei Ding

Patent number: 8861569Abstract: The present invention proposes an LTE eNodeB receiver channel estimation technique that is referred to as reduced complexity minimum mean squared error (MMSE) technique for channel estimation. From the invention's assumptions, estimations and modified calculations, the present invention generates precise channel estimates of RS using the reduced complexity MMSE matrix and previously computed LS channel estimates HLS is as follows: (Formula I) which generates precise channel estimates of RS using the reduced complexity MMSE matrix and previously computed LS channel estimates. As a second aspect of the present invention, it is desired that the SNR be estimated within ?3 dB of the actual channel SNR. As a third aspect of the invention, an adaptive method of data channel interpolation from RS channel is being proposed in this invention.Type: GrantFiled: September 15, 2012Date of Patent: October 14, 2014Assignee: BlackBerry LimitedInventors: John P.
