  • Apparatus, and associated method, for allocating data for communication upon communication channels in a multiple input communication system
    Patent number: 7782895
    Abstract: Apparatus, and an associated method, for allocating data to communication channels of a multiple-input communication system and to select power levels at which the data is caused to be communicated upon the communication channels. Data allocation is made responsive to communication quality indications that identify communication conditions on the different ones of the channels. Data allocation and power level allocation is made to achieve best a selected performance parameter.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 3, 2005
    Date of Patent: August 24, 2010
    Assignee: Nokia Corporation
    Inventors: Pirjo Pasanen, Olav Tirkkonnen, Victor Stolpman, Mihai Ionescu, John Terry
  • Apparatus, and associated method, for communicating communication data in a multiple-input, multiple-output communication system
    Patent number: 7725084
    Abstract: Apparatus, and an associated method, for facilitating communication of communication data upon a communication channel susceptible to distortion. Both diversity techniques and spatial multiplexing techniques are utilized to compensate for the distortion introduced upon the data during its communication. Separate parts of the communication data are mapped pursuant to separate mapping schemes. The mapping schemes are selected to exhibit different properties. When the communication data is communicated upon the communication channel and delivered to a receiving station, a decoder decodes the data to recover the informational content of the data.
