Wireless Transmission with Channel State Perturbation
TLDR
In this paper, a channel codebook is generated by identifying a subset of antenna configurations from a plurality of antennas configurations of an antenna associated with a transmitter by transmitting a sequence of symbols from the transmitter to a receiver using the plurality of antenna configuration, wherein each antenna configuration provides a unique transmission characteristic to the receiver.Abstract:
Generating a channel codebook by identifying a subset of antenna configurations from a plurality of antenna configurations of an antenna associated with a transmitter by: transmitting a sequence of symbols from the transmitter to a receiver using the plurality of antenna configurations, wherein each antenna configuration provides a unique transmission characteristic to the receiver; receiving feedback from the receiver that identifies the subset of antenna configurations; and, generating channel codebook entries corresponding to the subset of antenna configurations; and, transmitting data from the transmitter to the receiver using the channel codebook.read more

Method and apparatus for coupling an antenna to a device
Paul Shala Henry,Donald J. Barnickel,Farhad Barzegar,Robert Bennett,Irwin Gerszberg,Thomas M. Willis +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe a system that receives, by a feed point of a dielectric antenna, electromagnetic waves from a core coupled to the feed point without an electrical return path, and radiates a wireless signal responsive to the electromagnetic waves being received at the aperture.

Quantization index modulation: a class of provably good methods for digital watermarking and information embedding
Brian Chen,Gregory W. Wornell +1 more
TL;DR: It is shown that QIM is "provably good" against arbitrary bounded and fully informed attacks, and achieves provably better rate distortion-robustness tradeoffs than currently popular spread-spectrum and low-bit(s) modulation methods.

Apparatus, and associated method, for facilitating antenna weight selection utilizing deterministic perturbation gradient approximation
TL;DR: In this paper, a deterministic perturbation gradient approximation technique is utilized in which perturbations are selected by a selector and applied, by an applicator, to antenna weighting elements.

Method and apparatus for improving the interrogation range of an RF-Tag
TL;DR: In this paper, a method for increasing the interrogation range of an RF tag in a radio communication system using RF Tags with two reflecting antenna elements was proposed. But the method was not suitable for the use of a large number of RF tags.

Precoding scheme for transmitting data using optimally-shaped constellations over intersymbol-interference channels
TL;DR: In this article, a precoding scheme for noise whitening on ISI channels is presented where the scheme permits any type of shaping and is compatible with trellis coding, and the resulting reduction in shaping gain is small and becomes negligible as the rate per 2D of the constellation increases.
