Aspects are provided which allow a UE to manage a number of antennas in adaptive receive diversity (ARD) based on packet error rate (PER). The UE measures a downlink PER and determines a number of antennas for receiving a downlink transmission based on the measured, downlink PER. The UE measures downlink PER during switching from a fallback state to a steady state in an ARD state machine, and the UE changes a size of a fallback window in the ARD state machine based on the measured, downlink PER. The UE also disables switching from the steady state to the fallback state based on the measured downlink PER. As a result, a balance between UE reception performance and power savings is maximized and improved downlink data throughput is achieved.

A system having a platform upon which several phased antenna arrays are mounted and which can communicate with satellites. The system includes a switch that can connect any of the phased array antennas to any of available modems. The system further includes a router that can connect any of the modems to any available computing devices. Based on parameters such as data rates, signal strength, and account information, one or more communication paths are selected for a computing device requesting to communicate with a satellite. Each communication path is established by operating the switch to connect a selected antenna to a selected modem, and operating the router to transfer data between the computing device and the selected modem.

Signals are received that include a channel band and an adjacent band. The channel band is demodulated to obtain recovered symbols. Cross-correlation between the recovered symbols and the adjacent band is estimated. Adjacent channel interference is estimated, using the estimated cross-correlation of the recovered symbols and the adjacent band. Upon the estimated adjacent channel interference meeting a condition, a back-off command is sent to a transmitter power amplifier.

Introduced here are processes in which noise covariance is estimated across resource blocks that have similar distributions of noise. These processes result in more accurate estimation of noise occurring in a given channel, as accuracy can be improved by increasing the number of resource blocks being examined while also identifying and then filtering those resource blocks that are contaminated with interference. At a high level, these processes represent an automated approach to detecting imbalance between resource blocks with noise and resource blocks with interference in addition to noise and then forming clusters of resource blocks having similar characteristics to provide more samples that can be used in estimating noise covariance.

Examples described herein include apparatuses and methods for full duplex device-to-device cooperative communication. Example systems described herein may include self-interference noise calculators. The output of a self-interference noise calculator may be used to compensate for the interference experienced due to signals transmitted by another antenna of the same wireless device or system. In implementing such a self-interference noise calculator, a selected wireless relaying device or wireless destination device may operate in a full-duplex mode, such that relayed messages may be transmitted as well as information from other sources or destinations during a common time period (e.g., symbol, slot, subframe, etc.).

A method and system of symbol measurement and combining (SMaC) provides near-optimal performance for each user independently by relying on rapid digital beamforming with near-ideal convergence properties. This approach is also provides near-ideal performance without any knowledge of user/jammer location and adapts instantly as those locations change. An iterative joint estimation method is used to determine a covariance matrix R.sub.XX, and a user beamsteering vector, α.

A simple block coding arrangement is created with symbols transmitted over a plurality of transmit channels, in connection with coding that comprises only simple arithmetic operations, such as negation and conjugation. The diversity created by the transmitter utilizes space diversity and either time or frequency diversity. Space diversity is effected by redundantly transmitting over a plurality of antennas, time diversity is effected by redundantly transmitting at different times, and frequency diversity is effected by redundantly transmitting at different frequencies: Illustratively, using two transmit antennas and a single receive antenna, one of the disclosed embodiments provides the same diversity gain as the maximal-ratio receiver combining (MRRC) scheme with one transmit antenna and two receive antennas. The principles of this invention are applicable to arrangements with more than two antennas, and an illustrative embodiment is disclosed using the same space block code with two transmit and two receive antennas.
