  • Publication number: 20180076941
    Abstract: A technique for assigning pilot signals to user equipments is described. The user equipments access a radio base station that provides radio access. As to a method aspect of the technique, an access burst including initial pilot signals is received from the user equipments, wherein at least two of the user equipments apply simultaneously the same initial pilot signal. A multicast channel to the at least two user equipments is estimated based on the received access burst. A combined signal power received at the radio base station is computed for the at least two user equipments based on the estimated multicast channel. A message to the at least two user equipments is sent using the multicast channel. The message is indicative of the combined signal power and assigns different pilot signals to the at least two user equipments, wherein the assignment depends for each of the at least two user equipments on the combined signal power and a signal power received at the respective user equipment.

  • Patent number: 7283783
    Abstract: A method of broadcasting multi-layered information in a multi-antenna broadcasting system can include identifying at least a first and second layer of information to be transmitted. The first layer of information can be encoded for transmission using a first unitary code matrix and the second layer of information can be encoded for transmission using a second unitary code matrix. The first and second layers of the multi-layered information can be transmitted with the multi-antenna broadcasting system.
