Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method and apparatus are described including receiving a first signal including first data in a first time slot of a first channel ( 705 ), receiving a second signal including second data in a second time slot of a second channel ( 710 ), determining a first pre-coding matrix ( 715 ), determining a second pre-coding matrix ( 720 ), applying the first pre-coding matrix to the first data to produce pre-coded first data ( 725 ), applying the second pre-coding matrix to the second data to produce pre-coded second data ( 730 ), generating a third signal by combining the pre-coded first data and the pre-coded second data ( 735 ) and transmitting the third signal on the first channel and on the second channel ( 740 ). Also described are a method and apparatus including transmitting a first signal ( 605 ), receiving a second signal including a first training sequence ( 610 ) and decoding the second signal by removing the first training sequence and removing the first signal ( 615 ).

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method for operation of a bi-directional communication system making use of a relay node, said method comprising: receiving, by said relay node, a first signal including first data in a first time slot of a first channel; receiving, by said relay node, a second signal including second data in a second time slot of a second channel, wherein said first signal and said second signal are exchanged between a source node and a destination node communicat…
