  • Patent number: 10447517
    Abstract: Various features related to using a multi-port synchronization signal as reference for demodulating a multi-port broadcast channel are described. In an aspect, a synchronization signal, e.g., SSS, may be repurposed to serve as a demodulation reference for a downlink channel, e.g., PBCH, thereby obviating the need for a base station to send an additional reference signal for PBCH demodulation. A base station may select two or more logical antenna ports to transmit a synchronization signal, transmit the synchronization signal from the selected two or more logical antenna ports, and transmit information on the PBCH, from at least the selected two or more logical antenna ports. A UE may receive the synchronization signal from the two or more logical antenna ports at the base station, receive information on the PBCH from the at least the two or more logical antenna ports, and demodulate the information based on the received synchronization signal.

  • Patent number: 10439689
    Abstract: Provided are M signal processors that respectively generate modulated signals for M reception apparatuses (where M is an integer equal to 2 or greater), a multiplexing signal processor, and N antenna sections (where N is an integer equal to 1 or greater). When transmitting multiple streams, each of the M signal processors generates two mapped signals, generates first and second precoded signals by precoding the two mapped signals, periodically changes the phase of signal points in the IQ plane with respect to the second precoded signal, outputs the phase-changed signal, and outputs the first precoded signal and the phase-changed second precoded signal as two modulated signals. When transmitting a single stream, each of the M signal processor outputs a single modulated signal. The multiplexing signal processor multiplexes the modulated signals output from the M signal processors, and generates N multiplexed signals. The N antenna sections respectively transmit the N multiplexed signals.

  • Patent number: 10312983
    Abstract: A transmitting radio node (10) precodes a transmission from a one-dimensional antenna array (12) to a receiving radio node (50). The array (12) includes co-polarized antenna elements (14) aligned in the array's only spatial dimension. The transmitting radio node (10) precodes the transmission from each of different subarrays (34a, 34b) of the antenna elements (14) using a coarse-granularity precoder that is factorizable from a multi-granular precoder targeting the given spatial dimension of the array (12) at different granularities, so as to virtualize the subarrays (34a, 34b) as different auxiliary elements (38a, 38b). The transmitting radio node (10) also precode the transmission from the different auxiliary elements (38a, 38b) using one or more finer-granularity precoders that are also factorizable from the multi-granular precoder. In this case, the coarse granularity precoders and the one or more finer-granularity precoders are represented within one or more codebooks (26) used for said precoding.
