Papr Reduction for Beamforming Ofdm Transmitters
TL;DR: A new method for PAPR reduction that minimizes the peak power across all antennas while preserving the maximal ratio transmission (MRT) gain and zero-crosstalk criteria at the receivers is presented.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Estimating Statistical Eigen-Beamforming Gains Using Spatial Channel Correlation
TL;DR: The results of this comparison show that the spatial correlation as defined in this paper can be used to predict the EBF gain accurately for a variety of antenna spacings and polarizations.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Semi-blind channel identification in OFDM
TL;DR: A novel semi-blind multi-user channel estimator for OFDM based on the maximum likelihood estimator that is effective even when the frequency-domain pilot spacing is greater than the Nyquist spacing.

Manifold calibration for a communication system
TL;DR: In this paper, an uplink direction of arrival (DOA) and a downlink direction of departure (DOD) calibration procedure is implemented using uplink signals and GPS information from a subset of mobiles without the need of calibration circuitry at the base.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Decision-directed tracking for multi-user broadband mobile OFDM
Timothy A. Thomas,F.W. Vook +1 more
TL;DR: Two new multi-user techniques that aid in the decision-directed tracking of a rapidly time-varying OFDM channel are presented, based on a method for modeling a time-Varying frequency response as a linear combination of a small number of time-invariant "Doppler channels".
