Title: Contention-based forwarding with integrated multi-user detection capability
Inventor: LARSSON PETER
IPC: H04W84/18
Filed: 2004-03-17
Granted: 2007-11-14
Abstract: A basic idea is to employ multi-user detection (MUD) at the receiver side in a multi-hop network to concurrently decode multiple packets transmitted from multiple nodes (T1, T2), and prioritize among the correctly decoded packets to select one or more packets suitable for forwarding, and finally reply with a packet acknowledgement (ACK) to the corresponding transmitting node for each selected packet. In this way, the design choice of MUD is exploited in the forwarding procedure. It is furthermore beneficial to exploit also the diversity enabled by the existence of multiple relay nodes (R1, R2, R3). A transmitting node that transmits its data packet signal to multiple relay candidate nodes and then receives packet acknowledgements from at least two relay candidate nodes preferably performs a prioritization to select a suitable relay node. The transmitting node then transmits a forwarding order (FO) to the selected relay node, which takes on responsibility for forwarding the information to the next node.

Abstract: A cross-polarization transmission system comprises two transmitters of two orthogonally polarized signals on a common frequency channel and two asynchronous receivers of these two signals mutually interfering on the channel. Each receiver includes a main path and an interferent path On the main path the RF signal goes through a mixer pumped by a local oscillator to down-convert the RF signal directly in baseband (or to a predetermined nearby band). On the other path the interferent down-converted in the same band of the main in asynchronous fashion by the companion receiver is received by a cable. The main and the interferent down-converted signals are sampled and digitally converted. The sampler on the main path is included in a symbol recovery loop which generates the sampling signal for the two samplers. On the two paths two TDE equalizers implemented by FIR filters with adaptive coefficients are respectively introduced. The two paths join together at the inputs of a subtraction node acting as interference canceller. The interference-free main signal at the output of the subtraction node is forwarded to a first multiplier to be multiplied by a phase correction signal s1. The demodulated signal reaches a decision circuit which estimates the transmitted symbols on the basis of the received signal and the knowledge of the ideal values. The decision circuit also calculates the square error made in estimating the transmitted symbols. The demodulated signal and the square error are sent to a first carrier recovery PLL which provides the phase signal s1 to the first multiplier. The square error is then multiplied by a phase inverted s1 obtaining a reference signal sent to a second PLL which further receives the equalized signal at the output of the XPIC's TDE. The latter signal gives an esteem of the interference caused by the other polarization which is still asynchronous in respect of the actual. Provides to the synchronization a second multiplier which receives the output signal of the XPIC's TDE and multiplies it by a phase correction signal s2 present at the out of the second PLL. The interference in such a way synchronized can be now used to cancel the actual one by a simple subtraction (fig.4a).
