  • Patent number: 9413440
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a performance enhancement method for a multi-user multiple input multiple output (MIMO) system. The performance enhancement method includes determining whether a connection node of a data stream matches when a transmission packet is waiting for transmission in the data stream, wherein the data stream is dedicated to serving a wireless subscriber, collecting a plurality of radio-frequency parameters and MIMO information when the connection node matches, using a time-division multiple access (TDMA) mechanism to divide the transmission packet into a plurality of sub-packets, applying Space-time block code (STBC) to the sub-packets, and transmitting the encoded sub-packets in one data stream in different time instants.

  • Patent number: 9153868
    Abstract: The present invention provides a wireless electronic device including an adaptive antenna unit and a processing unit. The adaptive antenna unit directionally receives data from a first electronic device. The processing unit estimates a feedback time for when the wireless electronic device may receive data from the first electronic device when a predetermined condition is met, and enables the adaptive antenna unit to form a specific radiation field in a specific direction to receive data through the specific radiation field after the feedback time.

  • Publication number: 20120294200
    Abstract: A wireless communication method includes attempting to establish a first wireless connection. Next, an attempt is made to establish a second wireless connection using a different channel from the first wireless connection. Subsequently, a determination is made as to whether the first wireless connection and the second wireless connection are established. When the first wireless connection and the second wireless connection are established, a manner of signal transmission between the first wireless connection and the second wireless connection is coordinated to transmit uplink data and downlink data, respectively, such that a duplex mode of operation is realized.
