Abstract
A user terminal supports multiple spatial multiplexing (SM) modes such as a steered mode and a non-steered mode. For data transmission, multiple data streams are coded and modulated in accordance with their selected rates to obtain multiple data symbol streams. These streams are then spatially processed in accordance with a selected SM mode (e.g., with a matrix of steering vectors for the steered mode and with the identity matrix for the n on- steered mode) to obtain multiple transmit symbol streams for transmission fr om multiple antennas. For data reception, multiple received symbol streams are spatially processed in accordance with the selected SM mode (e.g., with a matrix of eigenvectors for the steered mode and with a spatial filter matrix for the non-steered mode) to obtain multiple recovered data symbol streams. These streams are demodulated and decoded in accordance with their selected rates to obtain multiple decoded data streams.

[0004] A conventional MIMO system typically uses a specific transmission scheme to simultaneously transmit multiple data streams. This transmission scheme may be selected based on a trade-off of various factors such as the requirements of the system, the amount of feedback from the receiver to the transmitter, the capabilities of the transmitter and receiver, and so on. The transmitter, receiver, and system are then designed to support and operate in accordance with the selected transmission scheme.
This transmission scheme typically has favorable features as well as unfavorable ones, which can impact system performance.

[0005] There is therefore a need in the art for a user terminal capable of achieving improved performance.
SUMMARY
SUMMARY
[0006] A user terminal that supports multiple spatial multiplexing (SM) modes for improved performance and greater flexibility is described herein. Spatial multiplexing refers to the transmission of multiple data streams simultaneously via multiple spatial channels of a MIMO channel. The multiple SM modes may include (1) a steered mode that transmits multiple data streams on orthogonal spatial channels and (2) a non-steered mode that transmits multiple data streams from multiple antennas.
[0007] The terminal selects an SM mode to use for data transmission from among the multiple supported SM modes. The SM mode selection may be based on various factors such as the calibration status of the terminal, the amount of data to send, the channel conditions, the capability of the other communicating entity, and so on. For data transmission, multiple data streams are coded and modulated in accordance with their selected rates to obtain multiple data symbol streams. These data symbol streams are then spatially processed in accordance with the selected SM mode to obtain multiple transmit symbol streams. The transmit spatial processing is with a matrix of steering vectors for the steered mode and with an identity matrix for the non-steered mode. The transmit symbol streams are transmitted from multiple antennas and via a first communication link (e.g., uplink).
[0008] For data reception, multiple received symbol streams for a second communication link (e.g., downlink) are spatially processed in accordance with the selected SM mode to obtain multiple recovered data symbol streams. The receive spatial processing may be based on the channel eigenvectors for the steered mode and with a spatial filter matrix for the non-steered mode. The spatial filter matrix may be derived based on various receiver spatial processing techniques, as described below.
The recovered data symbol streams are then demodulated and decoded in accordance with their selected rates to obtain multiple decoded data streams for the second link.
The terminal also transmits/receives pilots and the selected rates for each link.
The recovered data symbol streams are then demodulated and decoded in accordance with their selected rates to obtain multiple decoded data streams for the second link.
The terminal also transmits/receives pilots and the selected rates for each link.
[0009] Various aspects, embodiments, and features of the invention are described in further detail below.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0011] The word "exemplary" is used herein to mean "serving as an example, instance, or illustration." Any embodiment described herein as "exemplary" is not necessarily to be construed as preferred or advantageous over other embodiments.
[0012] FIG. 1 shows a M1M0 system 100 with access points (APs) and user terminals (UTs). For simplicity, only one access point 110 is shown in FIG. 1. An access point is generally a fixed station that communicates with the user terminals and may also be referred to as a base station or some other terminology. A system controller couples to and provides coordination and control for the access points. A user terminal may be fixed or mobile and may also be referred to as a mobile station, a wireless device, or some other terminology. A user terminal may communicate with an access point, in which case the roles of access point and user terminal are established. A user terminal may also communicate peer-to-peer with another user terminal.
[0013] MIMO system 100 may be a time division duplex (TDD) system or a frequency division duplex (FDD) system. For a TDD system, the downlink and uplink share the same. frequency band. For an FDD system, the downlink and uplink use different frequency bands. The downlink is the communication link from the access points to the user terminals, and the uplink is the communication link fromthe user terminals to the access points. MIMO system 100 may also utilize a single carrier or multiple carriers for data transmission.
[0014] Access point 110 and user terminal 120 each support multiple spatial multiplexing (SM) modes for improved performance and greater flexibility. A
steered SM mode (or simply, a steered mode) can typically achieve better performance but can only be used if the transmitter has sufficient channel state information (CSI) to orthogonalize the spatial channels of a M1M0 channel via decomposition or some other technique. A non-steered SM mode (or simply, a non-steered mode) requires very little information to simultaneously transmit multiple data streams via the MIMO
channel, but performance may not be quite as good as the steered mode. A suitable SM
mode may be selected for use based on various factors, as described below.

[0015] Table 1 summarizes some key aspects of the steered and non-steered modes.
Each SM mode has different capabilities and requirements.
Each SM mode has different capabilities and requirements.
[0016] For the steered mode, the transmitter transmits a pilot to allow the receiver to estimate the MIMO channel, and the receiver sends back sufficient channel state information to allow the transmitter to derive steering vectors. Either the transmitter or receiver decomposes the MIMO channel into eigenmodes, which may be viewed as orthogonal spatial channels. The receiver also sends back the rate to use for each eigenmode. The transmitter and receiver both perform spatial processing in order to transmit data on the eigenmodes, as described below.
[0017] For the non-steered mode, the transmitter transmits a pilot to allow the receiver to estimate the MIMO channel. The receiver sends back the rate to use for each spatial channel. The transmitter transmits data (e.g., from its antennas) without any spatial processing, and the receiver performs spatial processing to recover the transmitted data.
The pilot transmission and spatial processing at the transmitter and receiver for the steered and non-steered modes are described below.

[0020] Singular value decomposition may be performed on H to obtain NS
eigenmodes of H , as follows:
H = U~V H , Eq (2) where U is an (NR x NR ) unitary matrix of left eigenvectors of H ;
E is an (NR ~c NT ) diagonal matrix of singular values of H ;
V is an (NT x NT ) unitary matrix of right eigenvectors of H ; and "H" denotes the conjugate transpose.
A unitary matrix M is characterized by the property MH M = I , where I is the identity matrix. The columns of a unitary matrix are orthogonal to one another.

A unitary matrix M is characterized by the property MH M = I , where I is the identity matrix. The columns of a unitary matrix are orthogonal to one another.
[0021] The right eigenvectors of H are also referred to as steering vectors and may be used for spatial processing by the transmitter to transmit data on the NS
eigenmodes of H . The left eigenvectors of H may be used for spatial processing by the receiver to recover the data transmitted on the NS eigenmodes. The eigenmodes may be viewed as orthogonal spatial channels obtained through decomposition. The diagonal entries of ~

are the singular values of H , which represent the channel gains for the Ns eigenmodes.
[0022] In a practical system, only an estimate of H can be obtained, and only estimates of V , E and U can be derived. The Ns spatial channels are also typically not completely orthogonal to one another due to various reasons such as an imperfect channel estimate. For simplicity, the description herein assumes channel estimation and decomposition without errors. Furthermore, the term "eigenmode" covers the case where' an attempt is made to orthogonalize the spatial channels using decomposition, even though the attempt may not be fully successful due to, for example, an imperfect channel estimate.
[0023] Table 2 summarizes the spatial processing at the transmitter and the receiver for the steered mode.

[0024] Eigenvalue decomposition may also be performed on a correlation matrix of H , which is R = HH H , as follows:
R=HHH=VAVH , Eq (3) where A is a diagonal matrix of eigenvalues, which are the squares of the singular values in E . The transmitter can perform spatial processing with V to obtain xs~ , and the receiver can perform spatial processing with V H HH to obtain sst .
2. Non-Steered Mode [0025] For the non-steered mode, the transmitter can transmit one data symbol stream from each transmit antenna. A spatial channel for this mode can correspond to one transmit antenna. The receiver performs spatial processing to separate out and recover the transmitted data symbol streams. The receiver can use various receiver processing techniques such as a channel correlation matrix inversion (CCMI) technique (which is also known as a zero-forcing technique), a minimum mean square error (MMSE) technique, a successive interference cancellation (SIC) technique, and so on [0026] Table 3 summarizes the spatial processing at the transmitter and the receiver for the non-steered mode.

-mi [0027] For the SIC technique, the receiver processes the NR received symbol streams in NS successive stages to recover one data symbol stream in each stage. For each stage ~,, where ~,=1 ... NS , the receiver initially performs spatial processing on NR
input symbol streams for stage ~, casing the CCMI, MMSE, or some other technique and obtains one recovered data symbol stream. The NR received symbol streams are the NR input symbol streams for stage 1. The receiver further processes (e.g., demodulates, deinterleaves, and decodes) the recovered data symbol stream for stage ~, to obtain a decoded data stream, estimates the interference this stream causes to the other data symbol streams not yet recovered, and cancels the estimated interference from the NR
input symbol streams for stage ?~ to obtain NR input symbol streams for stage 7~+ 1. The receiver then repeats the same processing on the NR input symbol streams for stage ~,+ 1 to recover another data symbol stream.
R=HHH=VAVH , Eq (3) where A is a diagonal matrix of eigenvalues, which are the squares of the singular values in E . The transmitter can perform spatial processing with V to obtain xs~ , and the receiver can perform spatial processing with V H HH to obtain sst .
2. Non-Steered Mode [0025] For the non-steered mode, the transmitter can transmit one data symbol stream from each transmit antenna. A spatial channel for this mode can correspond to one transmit antenna. The receiver performs spatial processing to separate out and recover the transmitted data symbol streams. The receiver can use various receiver processing techniques such as a channel correlation matrix inversion (CCMI) technique (which is also known as a zero-forcing technique), a minimum mean square error (MMSE) technique, a successive interference cancellation (SIC) technique, and so on [0026] Table 3 summarizes the spatial processing at the transmitter and the receiver for the non-steered mode.

-mi [0027] For the SIC technique, the receiver processes the NR received symbol streams in NS successive stages to recover one data symbol stream in each stage. For each stage ~,, where ~,=1 ... NS , the receiver initially performs spatial processing on NR
input symbol streams for stage ~, casing the CCMI, MMSE, or some other technique and obtains one recovered data symbol stream. The NR received symbol streams are the NR input symbol streams for stage 1.

input symbol streams for stage ?~ to obtain NR input symbol streams for stage 7~+ 1. The receiver then repeats the same processing on the NR input symbol streams for stage ~,+ 1 to recover another data symbol stream.
[0028] For each stage ~,, the SIC receiver derives a spatial filter matrix MS
~ for that stage based on a reduced channel response matrix H'' and using the CCMI, MMSE, or some other technique. The reduced matrix H~' is obtained by removing 7~-1 columns in the original matrix H corresponding to the ~,-1 data symbol streams already recovered. The matrix Ms ~ has dimensionality of (NT - ~,+ 1) x NR . Since H'' is different for each stage, Ms ~ is also different for each stage.

[0029] The receiver may also use other receiver spatial processing techniques to recover the transmitted data symbol streams.
[0030] FIG. 2 shows the spatial processing at the transmitter and receiver for the steered and non-steered modes. At the transmitter, the data vector s is multiplied with either the matrix V for the steered mode or the identity matrix I for the non-steered mode by a unit 220 to obtain the transmit symbol vector x . At the receiver, the received symbol vector r is multiplied with either the matrix UH for the steered mode or the spatial filter matrix M for the non-steered mode by a unit 260 to obtain a detected symbol vector s , ~ which is an unnormalized estimate of s . The matrix M
may be derived based on the CCMI, MMSE, or some other technique. The vector s is further scaled with either the diagonal matrix E-' for the steered mode or a diagonal matrix D-' for the non-steered mode to obtain the recovered data symbol vector s , where D-1 = I for the CCMI technique and D-' = Dm;"se for the MMSE technique.
3. Overhead for Steered and Non-Steered Nodes [0031] The steered and non-steered modes have different pilot and overhead requirements, as shown in [0032] Table 1 and described below.
A. Pilot Transmission [0033] For both the steered and non-steered modes, the transmitter can transmit a MIMO pilot (which is an unsteered pilot) to allow the receiver to estimate the MIMO
channel and obtain the matrix H . The MIMO pilot comprises NT orthogonal pilot transmissions sent from NT transmit antennas, where orthogonality may be achieved in time, frequency, code, or a combination thereof. For code orthogonality, the NT pilot transmissions can be sent simultaneously from the NT transmit antennas, with the pilot transmission from each antenna being "covered" with a different orthogonal (e.g., Walsh) sequence. The receiver "decovers" the received pilot symbols for each receive antenna i with the same NT orthogonal sequences used by the transmitter to obtain estimates of the complex channel gain between receive antenna i and each of the NT
transmit antennas. The covering at the transmitter and the decovering at the receiver are performed in similar manner as for a Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) system.
For frequency orthogonality, the NT pilot transmissions for the NT transmit antennas can be sent simultaneously on different subbands of the overall system bandwidth.
For time orthogonality, the NT pilot transmissions for the NT transmit antennas can be sent in different time slots. In any case, the orthogonality among the NT pilot transmissions allows the receiver to distinguish the pilot transmission from each transmit antenna.

For time orthogonality, the NT pilot transmissions for the NT transmit antennas can be sent in different time slots. In any case, the orthogonality among the NT pilot transmissions allows the receiver to distinguish the pilot transmission from each transmit antenna.
[0034] For the steered mode, the receiver sends back sufficient channel state information to allow the transmitter to derive the steering vectors. The receiver may send this information in a direct form (e.g., by sending the entries of V ) or in an indirect form (e.g., by transmitting a steered or unsteered pilot).
B. Rate Selection/Control [0035] The receiver can estimate the received signal-to-noise-and-interference ratio (SNR) for each spatial channel, which can correspond to an eigenmode for the steered mode or a transmit antenna for the non-steered mode. The received SNR is dependent on the SM mode and spatial processing technique used by the transmitter and receiver.

The received SNR is dependent on the SM mode and spatial processing technique used by the transmitter and receiver.
[0036] Table 4 summarizes the received SNR for the steered and non-steered modes. In Table 4, P", is the transmit power used for spatial channel m, 62 is the noise variance, a',n is the singular value for eigenmode m (i.e., the m-th diagonal element of ~ ), r",m is the m-th diagonal element of R (which is R = HH H ), q",n, is the m-th diagonal element of Q , and y", is the SNR for spatial channel m. The received SNRs for the SIC
technique are dependent on the spatial processing technique (e.g., CCMI or MMSE) and the order in which the data streams are recovered. An operating SNR can be defined as being equal to the received SNR plus an SNR back-off factor. The SNR back-off factor can be set to a positive value to account for estimation error, SNR
fluctuation overtime, and so on, but may also be set to zero.

The required SNR for each rate may be determined by computer simulation, empirical measurement, and so on, and with an assumption of an AWGN channel. A look-up table (LUT) can store the rates supported by the system and their required SNRs.

[0038] Closed-loop rate control may be used for each spatial channel or a combination of spatial channels. The receiver can estimate the received SNR for each spatial channel, select the proper rate for the spatial channel, and send back the selected rate.
The transmitter can transmit each data symbol stream at the selected rate.

C. Mode Selection [0039] User terminal 120 can use either the steered ~ or non-steered mode at any given moment for communication. The mode selection may be made based on various factors such as the following.
[0040] Overhead - The steered mode requires more overhead than the non-steered mode. For the steered mode, the receiver needs to send back sufficient channel state information as well as the rates for the NS eigenmodes. In some instances, the additional CSI overhead cannot be supported or is not justified. For the non-steered mode, the receiver only needs to send back the rates for the spatial channels, which is much less overhead.
[0041] Amount of Data - The steered mode is generally more efficient but also requires more setup steps (e.g., channel estimation, singular value decomposition, and CSI
feedback). If only a small amount of data needs to be sent, then it may be quicker and more efficient to transmit this data using the non-steered mode.
feedback). If only a small amount of data needs to be sent, then it may be quicker and more efficient to transmit this data using the non-steered mode.
[0042] Capability - A user terminal may communicate peer-to-peer with another user terminal that supports only one mode (e.g., either the steered or non-steered mode). In this case, the two terminals can communicate using a common mode supported by both user terminals.
[0043] Channel Conditions - The steered mode may be more easily supported for static channels, slow varying channels, and channels with a strong line-of-site component (e.g., a Rician channel).
[0044] Receiver SNR - The steered mode provides better performance in low SNR
conditions. A user terminal may elect to use steered mode when the SNR drops below some threshold.
conditions. A user terminal may elect to use steered mode when the SNR drops below some threshold.
[0045] Calibration Status - The steered mode may be selected for use if the transmitter and receiver are "calibrated" such that the downlink and uplink channel responses are reciprocal of one another. Reciprocal downlink and uplink can simplify the pilot transmission and spatial processing for both the transmitter and receiver for the steered mode, as described below.
[0046] A user terminal that is not mobile and is communicating with the same access point may use the steered mode much of the time. A user terminal that is mobile and communicating with different entities (e.g., different access points and/or other user terminals) may use the non-steered mode, until such time that it is more advantageous to use the steered mode. A user terminal may also switch between the steered and non-steered modes, as appropriate. For example, a user terminal may use the non-steered mode for small data bursts (or short data sessions) and at the start of long data bursts (or long data sessions), and may use the steered mode for the remaining portion of the long data bursts. As another example, a user terminal may use the steered mode for relatively static channel conditions and may use the non-steered mode when the channel conditions change more rapidly.

The MIM~ WLAN system utilizes orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM), which is a mufti-carrier modulation technique that effectively partitions the overall system bandwidth into multiple (NF) orthogonal subbands. With OFDM, each subband is associated with a respective carrier that may be modulated with data.

With OFDM, each subband is associated with a respective carrier that may be modulated with data.
[0048] The exemplary MIMO WLAN system is a TDD system. A high degree of correlation normally exists between the downlink and uplink channel responses for the TDD system since these links share the same frequency band. However, the responses of the transmit/receive chains at the access point are typically not the same as the responses of the transmit/receive chains at the user terminal. The differences can be determined and accounted for via calibration. The overall downlink and uplink channel responses may then be assumed to be reciprocal (i.e., transpose) of each other. The channel estimation and spatial processing for the steered mode can be simplified with reciprocal downlink and uplink.
[0049] FIG. 3 shows the transmit/receive chains at access point 110 and user terminal 120. At access point 110, transmit chain 324 and receive chain 334 are modeled by matrices Tap (k) and Rap (k) , respectively, for each subband k. At user terminal 120, transmit chain 364 and receive chain 354 are modeled by matrices T"t (k) and R"t (k) , respectively, for each subband k.
[0050] Table 5 summarizes the calibration and singular value decomposition for the downlink and uplink in the TDD MIMO WLAN system. The "effective" downlink and uplink channel responses, Hea" (k) and Heap (k) , include the responses of the appropriate transmit and receive chains. Diagonal correction matrices Kap (k) and K"t(k) are obtained by performing calibration with MIMO pilots transmitted by both the access point and user terminal. The "calibrated" downlink and uplink channel responses, H~an (k) and H~"p (k) , include the correction matrices and are reciprocal of one another (i.e., H~~p (k) = H ~, (k) , where "T " denotes the transpose).

The user terminal can estimate the calibrated downlink channel based on the M1M0 pilot, perform singular value decomposition, and transmit a steered pilot on the uplink using the matrix Vu~ (k) . A steered pilot is a pilot transmitted on the eigenmodes using the same steering vectors that are used for data transmission on the eigenmodes.
The access point can directly estimate the matrix Uap (k) based on the uplink steered pilot. Pilots may also be transmitted in other manners for the steered mode.
For example, the user terminal can transmit the MIMO pilot, and the access point can transmit the steered pilot. As another example, the access point and user terminal can both transmit MIMO pilots.
[0055] For the non-steered mode, the transmitter (either the access point or user terminal) can transmit a MIMO pilot along with the data transmission. The receiver performs spatial processing (e.g., with CCMI, MMSE, SIC, or some other technique) to recover the data symbol streams, as described above.

[0057] For both the steered and non-steered modes, the receiver (either the access point or user terminal) can estimate the average received SNR for each wideband spatial channel, for example, by averaging the received SNRs (in dB) for the NF
subbands of the wideband spatial channel. A wideband spatial channel can correspond to a wideband eigenmode for the steered mode or a transmit antenna for the non-steered mode. The receiver then computes an operating SNR for each wideband spatial channel as the sum of the average received SNR plus the SNR back-off factor. The receiver then selects the rate for each wideband spatial channel based on the operating SNR and the look-up table of supported rates and their required SNRs.
