Techniques for blind distributed multi-user MIMO enable simultaneous decoding of multiple concurrent wireless transmissions without the need for coordination between wireless devices or a measurement phase. Wireless devices are permitted to transmit independently and at arbitrary times. Concurrent transmissions from wireless devices superimpose in the wireless channel and are received at various base stations. The base stations forward received data samples to a central entity (e.g., a cloud computing service), which uses known preambles to reliably estimate CFOs and channels between the transmitting devices and the receiving base stations while simultaneously recovering the data samples of the individual data streams.

Blind distributed multi-user MIMO for decoding multiple concurrent wireless transmissions

A dynamic channel selection approach for wireless communication networks is provided by measuring an ineffective communication metric on a currently-used channel. The network can switch channels if the ineffective communication metric from a device on the network satisfies a channel selection condition. To change the wireless communication network to the new channel, all network devices in the wireless communication network are instructed to switch to the new channel. As network communications start on the new channel, the ineffective communication metric measurements begin again on the new channel. Communications on the new channel continue until the channel selection condition is satisfied on the new channel, at which point another random selection of a channel is executed. The process continues in such iterations during the operation of the network and its network devices.

Dynamic channel selection in a wireless communication network

A multiple independent narrow-channel wireless network and method for transmitting and received data over a wireless network using a fragmented frequency spectrum. The system and method uses a plurality of narrow wireless channels obtained from splitting a wide wireless channel. Each narrow channel performs sending, receiving, and carrier sensing. Moreover, each narrow channel is independent such that data can be sent or received without any interference from other narrow channels and without synchronization. Embodiments of the system and method include a compound radio having a compound receiver and a compound transmitter. The compound transmitter includes an inter-radiolet symbol synchronization module, to permit use of a single inverse fast Fourier transform block, and a dynamically configurable filter array, to mitigate leakage between channels. The compound receiver uses fraction data rate processing to optimize efficiency. A throughput maximal metric technique is used to determine its frequency of operation in white spaces.

The claimed subject matter provides a method for wireless communications. The method includes transmitting, by a first node in a wireless network, a first preamble. The method also includes detecting, in parallel with transmitting the first preamble, a transmission of a second preamble. A second node in the wireless network transmits the second preamble. Additionally, the method includes determining a later start between the transmission of the first preamble and the transmission of the second preamble. The method further includes terminating transmission of the first preamble the determining indicates that the transmission of the first preamble started after the transmission of the second preamble.
