Abstract

Systems and methods are described for radio frequency (RF) calibration in a multiple antenna system (MAS) with multi-user (MU) transmissions (“MU-MAS”) exploiting uplink/downlink channel reciprocity. The RF calibration is used to compute open-loop downlink precoder based on uplink channel estimates, thereby avoiding feedback overhead for channel state information as in closed-loop schemes. For example, a MU-MAS of one embodiment comprises a wireless cellular network with one or multiple beacon stations, multiple client devices and multiple distributed antennas operating cooperatively via precoding methods to eliminate inter-client interference and increase network capacity.

Claims (49)

1. A wireless transceiver station comprising:

a first plurality of more than eight antennas of a radio access network (RAN) within a coverage area,

wherein eight or more of the first plurality of antennas are configured to send a plurality of training signals between them;

wherein the training signals are processed to estimate a plurality of radio frequency (RF) calibration coefficients;

wherein the RF calibration coefficients are used to precondition a matrix of uplink (UL) channel state information (CSI) to obtain a matrix of downlink (DL) CSI;

the UL CSI is determined from a plurality of UL transmissions received by at least one antenna of the first plurality of antennas from one or more of a second plurality of antennas of one or more of a plurality of user equipment devices (UEs);

the matrix of DL CSI is used to precode a plurality of radio signals transmitted concurrently by the first plurality of antennas; and

the precoding causing the plurality of radio signals to deliberately interfere to create concurrent, non-interfering channels at one or more locations of the one or more of the second plurality of antennas of the one or more of the plurality of UEs.

2. The wireless transceiver station of claim 1 wherein a downlink (DL) channel state information (CSI) is derived from an uplink (UL) CSI using the RF calibration coefficients and exploiting UL and DL channel reciprocity.

3. The wireless transceiver station of claim 1 wherein the at least one antenna of the first plurality of antennas includes all the first plurality of antennas.

4. The wireless transceiver station of claim 1 wherein the at least one antenna includes less than all of the first plurality of antennas.

5. The wireless transceiver station of claim 1 wherein the RAN has no cells.

6. The wireless transceiver station of claim 1 wherein the plurality of antennas are interconnected to a centralized processor (CP).

7. A method implemented within a RAN comprising:

sending a plurality of training signals between a first plurality of more than eight antennas within a coverage area;

processing the training signals to estimate a plurality of RF calibration coefficients;

using the RF calibration coefficients to precondition a matrix of UL CSI to obtain a matrix of DL CSI;

determining the UL CSI from a plurality of UL transmissions received by at least one antenna of the first plurality of antennas from one or more of a second plurality of antennas of one or more of a plurality of UEs;

using the matrix of DL CSI to precode a plurality of radio signals transmitted concurrently by the first plurality of antennas;

wherein the precoding causes the plurality of radio signals to deliberately interfere to create concurrent, non-interfering channels at one or more locations of the one or more of the second plurality of antennas of the one or more of the plurality of UEs.

8. The method of claim 7 further comprising deriving a DL CSI from a UL CSI using the RF calibration coefficients and exploiting UL and DL channel reciprocity.

9. The method of claim 7 wherein the at least one antenna of the first plurality of antennas includes all of the first plurality of antennas.

10. The method of claim 7 wherein the at least one antenna includes less than all of the first plurality of antennas.

11. The method of claim 7 wherein the RAN has no cells.

12. The method of claim 7 wherein the first plurality of antennas are interconnected to a CP.

13. A wireless transceiver station comprising:

a first plurality of more than eight antennas of a RAN within a coverage area;

wherein eight or more of the first plurality of antennas are configured to send a plurality of training signals between them, the training signals processed to estimate a plurality of radio frequency (RF) calibration coefficients; and

wherein a DL CSI is derived from a UL CSI using the RF calibration coefficients and exploiting UL and DL channel reciprocity;

wherein the RF calibration coefficients are used to precondition a matrix of UL CSI to obtain a matrix of DL CSI;

the UL CSI is determined from a plurality of UL transmissions received by at least one antenna of the first plurality of antennas from one or more of a second plurality of antennas of one or more of a plurality of UEs;

the matrix of DL CSI is used to precode a plurality of radio signals transmitted concurrently by the first plurality of antennas; and

the precoding causing the plurality of radio signals to deliberately interfere to create concurrent, non-interfering channels at one or more locations of the one or more of the plurality of antennas of the one or more of the plurality of UEs.

14. The wireless transceiver station of claim 13 wherein the at least one antenna of the first plurality of antennas includes all of the first plurality of antennas.

15. The wireless transceiver station of claim 13 wherein the at least one antenna includes less than all of the first plurality of antennas.

16. The wireless transceiver station of claim 13 wherein the RAN has no cells.

17. The wireless transceiver station of claim 13 wherein the first plurality of antennas are interconnected to a CP.

18. A method implemented within a RAN comprising:

sending a plurality of training signals between a first plurality of more than eight antennas within a coverage area;

processing the training signals to estimate a plurality of RF calibration coefficients;

deriving a DL CSI from a UL CSI using the RF calibration coefficients and exploiting UL and DL channel reciprocity;

using the RF calibration coefficients to precondition a matrix of UL CSI to obtain a matrix of DL CSI;

determining the UL CSI from a plurality of UL transmissions received by at least one antenna of the first plurality of antennas from one or more of a second plurality of antennas of one or more of a plurality of UEs; and

using the matrix of DL CSI to precode a plurality of radio signals transmitted concurrently by the first plurality of antennas;

wherein the precoding causes the plurality of radio signals to deliberately interfere to create concurrent, non-interfering channels at one or more locations of the one or more of the second plurality of antennas of the one or more of the plurality of UEs.

19. The method of claim 18 wherein the at least one antenna of the first plurality of antennas includes all the first plurality of antennas.

20. The method of claim 18 wherein the at least one antenna includes less than all of the first plurality of antennas.

21. The method of claim 18 wherein the RAN has no cells.

22. The method of claim 18 wherein the first plurality of antennas are interconnected to a CP.
