  • Patent number: 7656936
    Abstract: A method and system for reducing interference in a wireless communication network is disclosed. The wireless communication network has at least one base station using an antenna array and one or more code channels to receive or transmit one or more communication signals from or to a plurality of terminals used by one or more users. A signal received by the antenna array carries one or more training sequences and a traffic signal in a frame. After estimating a spatial signature and joint channel response model per user based on the training sequences, one or more spatial weights are found based on the estimated spatial signature and joint channel response model to maximize a signal to noise ratio. A joint detection matrix is then formed based on the estimated spatial weights, the joint channel response model, and a user code channel assignment.

  • Publication number: 20060293060
    Abstract: A method and system is disclosed for load balancing in a wireless communication system. The method has two major processes for load balancing purpose: the first process moves a mobile terminal from its host base station to some less loaded base station after the expiration of a switch time interval determined by the signal strength difference between the original host base station and the base station that the mobile terminal is moving to; the second process moves the mobile terminal from its host base station to the base station with the strongest signal strength periodically.

  • Patent number: 7151755
    Abstract: A method and system for multi-cell interference reduction in a wireless communication system is disclosed. The present disclosure describes a new method and system for accurately detecting the characteristics of the interfering signals from relevant sources such as neighboring co-channel cells and other persistent interference sources. In order to better estimate the interfering signals, a base station designates a small inactive window in the transmit frame for a cell during which the communications between the base station and its terminals are reduced while every other communication pursues. As such, the interfering signals can be well exposed and the characteristics can be accurately detected. Based on the detected characteristics of the interfering signals, the base station can specifically design beam forming mechanism or other means to cancel or minimize the impact of such interference during regular communications.
