Patent number: 10375748Abstract: A method for terminal-to-terminal communication in a cellular mobile radio network includes providing a radio signal interference map that is indicative of a location-dependent radio signal interference disturbance within a coverage area of a base station. The location-dependent radio signal interference disturbance is indicative of a radio signal interference disturbance of a terminal-to-terminal communication, and the radio signal interference map is based on a learning algorithm for a geographic radio signal interference map. Configuration information regarding a configuration setting of a radio transmission for a terminal-to-terminal communication between a first mobile radio communication terminal and a second mobile radio communication terminal is provided based on the location-dependent radio signal interference disturbance of the radio signal interference map. The configuration setting enables a statement regarding a configuration to be performed in respect of the radio transmission.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 2018Date of Patent: August 6, 2019Assignee: Bayerische Motoren Werke AktiengesellschaftInventors: Martin Kasparick, Slawomir Stanczak, Renato Luis Garrido Cavalcante, David Gozalvez Serrano, Mladen Botsov, Peter Fertl

Patent number: 9232407Abstract: A transmitter-side estimation of the complex channel influence between function variable value transmitters and function receivers is limited to the estimation of the magnitude of the channel influence, so that a pre-distortion of the symbols of the symbol sequences depends on an inverse of the magnitude of the channel influence, but is independent of a phase of the channel influence. Easing the channel estimation does not change the central tendency of the calculated function results transmitted over the multiple channel. Alternatively, on the side of the function receiver, a statistical quantity describing the multiple-access channel is determined. For this purpose, it is sufficient when the function variable value transmitters transmit constant power signals over the multiple-access channel in a channel estimation phase. Thus, the channel estimation effort is transferred to the function receiver and hence occurs less frequently, which again reduces the overall energy expenditure.Type: GrantFiled: July 6, 2012Date of Patent: January 5, 2016Assignee: Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft zur Foerderung der angewandten Forschung e.V.Inventors: Slawomir Stanczak, Mario Goldenbaum

Patent number: 8023987Abstract: The invention relates to distributed wireless ad hoc networks having interfering transmission channels, in which direct links between adjacent transmit nodes and receive nodes in a connection pair are established and optimized. The inventive signaling method alternately uses a primary network and an adjoint network, the respective transmit nodes and receive nodes constantly changing their roles in an agreed time pattern. The transmission signals in the adjoint network are predistorted in such a way that the influence of the proper mobile radio channel is canceled on each transmission channel. The occurring interference is implicitly transmitted as well by the receive nodes and can be directly determined and taken into account by the transmit nodes.Type: GrantFiled: September 18, 2006Date of Patent: September 20, 2011Assignee: Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft zur Foerderung der angewandten Forschung e.V.Inventors: Holger Boche, Slawomir Stanczak, Marcin Wiczanowski

Patent number: 7760814Abstract: A radio transmission method and a wireless transmission system comprising multiple transmitter and receiver antennae simultaneously operating within the same frequency range and space-time encoders and decoders. Data transmission and channel matrix measurement can take place synchronously. Characteristic pilot signals that are unequivocally recognizable are superimposed with low noise on the data subsignals in the transmitter and are used in the receiver for the analog measurement of the channel matrix in a weighting unit and for the analog recovery of the transmitted data subsignals from the received signals. The measured analog values are digitally processed in a signal processor. The weightings thus determined are then summed in an analog signal processing unit.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2003Date of Patent: July 20, 2010Assignee: Siemens AktiengesellschaftInventors: Volker Jungnickel, Udo Krueger, Volker Pohl, Clemens von Helmolt, Thomas Haustein, Slawomir Stanczak
