Equal power output spatial spreading matrix for use in a wireless MIMO communication system

A wireless communication system uses a spatial spreading matrix to simultaneously transmit various different streams of encoded symbol data simultaneously via multiple transmission antennas, wherein the spatial spreading matrix is designed to assure that the different transmission antennas provide equal power output in the presence of both correlated and uncorrelated data within the different encoded symbol streams. The use of this spatial spreading matrix reduces or eliminates the condition in which a particular one of the transmission antennas needs to operate at an output power that is significantly higher than the others of the transmission antennas, which might lead to saturation of, or to the non-linear or abnormal operation of a power amplifier associated with the particular transmission antenna, resulting in improper amplification for that particular transmission antenna.

High accurate subspace extension of phase correlation for global motion estimation

A method for achieving high sub-unit accuracy during global motion estimation of sequential video frame images is described herein. The method estimates the global motion using an existing phase-correlation approach, and further refines it to a sub-unit level using the neighborhood values of the phase correlation surface peak The method determines the sub-unit displacement direction by examining the signs of the peak of phase correlation surface and its two nearest neighbors. The method determines the sub-unit displacement magnitude by applying the ratio of associated phase correlation values to a 5th-order polynomial function. The method then computes the actual motion by adding the sub-unit displacement value to the global motion value as calculated by the phase-correlation approach.

Transmit diversity and spatial spreading for an OFDM-based multi-antenna communication system
