  • Patent number: 8976881
    Abstract: A data signal component output from a reference signal demultiplexer and channel state information obtained by using DM-RS output from a channel estimating unit are input into a modulo estimating unit. In a channel compensator, a first provisional decision value sequence is calculated on the basis of the channel state information. The first provisional decision value sequence is input into a modulo calculator, and modulo calculations are performed on the first provisional decision value sequence to obtain a second provisional decision value sequence. A decision-feedback channel estimating section finds a first channel estimation value based on the first provisional decision value sequence and a second channel estimation value based on the second provisional decision value sequence. A modulo decision section decides whether or not a perturbation term has been added to a code, and uses a decision result for the selection of a demodulation method.

  • Publication number: 20150061654
    Abstract: A rod-shaped magnet is mounted on a rotating unit. The rod-shaped magnet has end surfaces which are oriented in a rotating direction and are magnetized to different magnetic poles. An angle detecting unit including magnetoresistive elements is disposed so as to be offset in a radial direction of a revolution path of the magnet from the revolution path and is configured to detect a change in angle of rotation of the rotating unit by detecting a leakage magnetic field in the vicinity of a side surface of the magnet. Two position detecting units each include magnetoresistive elements and are configured to detect a change in orientation of a magnetic field in the direction of a tangent to the revolution path when facing the rod-shaped magnet and produce a switch output.

  • Publication number: 20140177747
    Abstract: The current feedback mechanisms in the 802.11 standard are not appropriate for MU-MIMO, in which many STAs transmit their feedback to an AP, which then proceeds to select the most appropriate STAs for transmission and discards the feedback of the rest of the STAs. This operation leads to large overhead, effectively limiting the effectivity of the MU-MIMO operation. The techniques described in this document allow for a more efficient transmission of feedback related to a MIMO communication. In this invention a double step feedback method is proposed trough which the STAs first transmit a reduced feedback enabling the AP to perform scheduling, and then the STAs that are chosen for scheduling transmit complementary feedback for the only the streams that are chosen by the scheduling operation. This operation results in a much more efficient feedback transmission.
