InactiveUS20050047517A1Transmission rate be increase and maximizeImprove transmission rateSpatial transmit diversityChannel estimationSubcarrierConstellation
Adaptive modulation techniques for multi-antenna transmissions with partial channel knowledge are described. Initially, a transmitter is described that includes a two-dimensional beamformer where coded data streams are power loaded and transmitted along two orthogonal basis beams. The transmitter optimally adjusts the basis beams, the power allocation between two beams, and the signal constellation. A partial CSI model for orthogonal frequency division multiplexed (OFDM) transmissions over multi-input multi-output (MIMO) frequency selective fading channels is then described. In particular, an adaptive MIMO-OFDM transmitter is described in which the adaptive two-dimensional coder-beamformer is applied on each OFDM subcarrier, along with an adaptive power and bit loading scheme across the OFDM subcarriers.

Heart Failure Decompensation Prediction Based on Cardiac Rhythm

Systems and methods of detecting an impending cardiac decompensation of a patient measure an electrocardiogram signal of the patient. An incidence of cardiac arrhythmias is determined from the electrocardiogram signal. A risk of impending decompensation is determined in response to the incidence of cardiac arrhythmias. In many embodiments, the impending decompensation can be detected early enough to avoid, or at least delay, the impending decompensation, such that patient trauma and / or expensive ICU care can be avoided. Although embodiments make specific reference to monitoring electrocardiogram and other physiological signals with an adherent patch, the system methods and devices are applicable to many applications in which physiological monitoring is used, for example wireless physiological monitoring with implanted sensors for extended periods.

Packet transfer rate monitoring control apparatus method and program

In a packet communication network in which the minimum guaranteed rate and maximum limiting rate of packet transfer are contracted for each service, this invention classifies flows corresponding to received packets into group 1 to which a flow whose packet transfer rate is less than the minimum guaranteed rate belongs, group 2 to which a flow whose packet transfer rate is equal to or higher than the minimum guaranteed rate and less than the maximum limiting rate belongs, and group 3 to which a flow whose packet transfer rate exceeds the maximum limiting rate belongs. A packet received in relation to a flow which belongs to group 1 is preferentially transferred before a packet received in relation to a flow which belongs to group 2, and a packet received in relation to a flow which belongs to group 2 is preferentially transferred before a packet received in relation to a flow which belongs to group 3. This allows easy and fair redistribution of an extra band, while a packet transfer rate equal to or higher than the minimum guaranteed rate is ensured, even when traffic has increased.

Dynamic sub-carrier assignment in OFDM systems

A method and apparatus are provided for selecting and signalling the identity of sub-carriers to be used for transmission of data in a radio communication system, and for using other sub-carriers. A remote unit determines which sub-carriers are acceptable for use in data transmission by comparing the signal to interference ratio of each sub-carrier with a threshold. A sequence of numbers is generated using one set of values to identify acceptable sub-carriers and another set of values to identify unacceptable sub-carriers. The sequence of numbers is transmitted to a base station. The average signal to interference ratio of sub-carriers whose signal to interference ratio was above the threshold can also be transmitted to the base station, thereby allowing the base station to determine an optimum set of transmission parameters for use only in the acceptable sub-carriers. Alternatively, the remote unit can determine the optimum set of transmission parameters itself for transmission to the base station. As yet another alternative, the remote unit can determine an optimum Link Mode for each acceptable sub-carrier, and use a reference to the Link Modes as the set of values identifying acceptable sub-carriers. The base station transmits data over the acceptable sub-carriers at the optimum Link Mode or Link Modes. The base station may use some of the unacceptable sub-carriers for transmission of low sensitivity data at the optimum Link Mode, and may use some of the unacceptable sub-carriers for transmission of data at a lower Link Mode. The transmission power of any unused unacceptable sub-carriers can be diverted to other sub-carriers.

III-V charge coupled device suitable for visible, near and far infra-red detection

A photon detector is obtained by using the intersubband absorption mechanism in a modulation doped quantum well(s). The modulation doping creates a very high electric field in the well which enables absorption of input TE polarized light and also conducts the carriers emitted from the well into the modulation doped layer from where they may recombine with carriers from the gate contact. Carriers are resupplied to the well by the generation of electrons across the energy gap of the quantum well material. The absorption is enhanced by the use of a resonant cavity in which the quantum well(s) are placed. The absorption and emission from the well creates a deficiency of charge in the quantum well proportional to the intensity of the input photon signal. The quantity of charge in the quantum well of each detector is converted to an output voltage by transferring the charge to the gate of an output amplifier. The detectors are arranged in the form of a 2D array with an output amplifier associated with the entire array or a row of the array as in the known charge coupled devices, or a separate amplifier could be dedicated to each pixel as in the known architecture of the active pixel device. This detector has the unique advantage of near room temperature operation because the dark current is limited to the generation across the semiconductor bandgap and not the emission over the quantum well barrier. The detector also has the advantage that the readout circuitry is implemented monolithically by the HFETs formed in the GaAs substrate simultaneously, with the detecting elements.
