Abstract: By arranging the area covered by a central transmission point into zones and by using different modulation schemes within each zone, increased throughput can be achieved by reducing the interference between communicating devices. The zones typically would be arranged by either distance from the transmission point or by passloss (PL), which is a measure of the signal attenuation of a wireless link. Either the wireless devices can determine the distance between them, or a point external to each device can make or assist with the determination. Multiple methods exist for determination or estimation of PL. In one embodiment, two zones are used with the zone closest to the transmission point, or having a lower PL, being 8 QAM or 16 QAM, while a zone further away, or having a higher PL, would be QPSK. Alternatively, the two zones could be SDMA and non-SDMA, respectively.

Abstract: An uplink channel response matrix is obtained for each terminal and decomposed to obtain a steering vector used by the terminal to transmit on the uplink. An “effective” uplink channel response vector is formed for each terminal based on its steering vector and its channel response matrix. Multiple sets of terminals are evaluated based on their effective channel response vectors to determine the best set (e.g., with highest overall throughput) for uplink transmission.

The multiple selected terminals simultaneously transmit their data symbol streams via their respective MIMO channels to the access point. The access point performs receiver spatial processing on its received symbol streams in accordance with a receiver spatial processing technique to recover the data symbol streams transmitted by the selected terminals.

Abstract: An adaptive Kalman filtering method and apparatus are used to process signal measurement data associated with the received radio signal. The signal measurement data includes a fast fading component and a slow fading component. The adaptive Kalman filtering process filters out the fast fading component of the signal measurement data but preserves to a large extent the slow fading components. This approach significantly improves the accuracy of the signal strength estimation and fast fading removal while at the same time significantly reduces the number of actual data samples required to remove that fast fading from the signal measurement data. This relaxes the speed and density requirements of the signal measurements, which in turn save time and costs.
