Title: An interfering transmitter randomly adapts transmission parameters in response to an indication from a receiver that it is experiencing excessive interference
Inventor: CHIN WOON HAU
IPC: H04B7/06
Filed: 2011-06-13
Abstract: A wireless receiver determines whether the level of interference it is experiencing can be classed as excessive, and if so transmits a signal to inform a wireless transmitter, which contributes to the interference, of this. When the wireless transmitter receives such a signal it randomly switches the transmission mode. This involves randomly selecting a beam-forming vector or randomly selecting the subset of antennae which are used for transmission. It is then determined, within the receiver, whether a level of interference has improved since the mode switch. If not, a signal indicative of a deterioration of said level of interference is sent. If the signal indicative of a deterioration of the level of interference is received at the transmitter, the transmitter reverts to using the preceding transmission mode for signal transmission. The transmitter is preferably a multi-antenna transmitter.
