Spatial spreading in a multi-antenna communication system

Номер: US20120250788A1
Принадлежит: Qualcomm Inc

Spatial spreading is performed in a multi-antenna system to randomize an “effective” channel observed by a receiving entity for each transmitted data symbol block. For a MIMO system, at a transmitting entity, data is processed (e.g., encoded, interleaved, and modulated) to obtain N D data symbol blocks to be transmitted in N M transmission spans, where N D ≧1 and N M >1. The N D blocks are partitioned into N M data symbol subblocks, one subblock for each transmission span. A steering matrix is selected (e.g., in a deterministic or pseudo-random manner from among a set of L steering matrices, where L>1) for each subblock. Each data symbol subblock is spatially processed with the steering matrix selected for that subblock to obtain transmit symbols, which are further processed and transmitted via N T transmit antennas in one transmission span. The N D data symbol blocks are thus spatially processed with N M steering matrices and observe an ensemble of channels.
