A method for improving frequency diversity in an OFDM system using interleaved interlaces for constellation symbol interleaving comprises interleaving a number of subcarriers of an interlace in a bit reversal fashion and interleaving a number of interlaces in the bit reversal fashion.

For an iterative channel and interference estimation and decoding scheme, prior information for channel gain and interference is initially obtained based on received pilot symbols. Forward information for code bits corresponding to received data symbols is derived based on the received data symbols and the prior information and then decoded to obtain feedback information for the code bits corresponding to the received data symbols. A posteriori information for channel gain and interference for each received data symbol is derived based on the feedback information for that received data symbol. The a posteriori information for the received data symbols and the prior information are combined to obtain updated information for channel gain and interference for each received data symbol. The process can be repeated for any number of iterations. The prior, a posteriori, and updated information may be represented by joint probability distributions on channel gain and interference. The forward and feedback information may be represented by log-likelihood ratios.

A method and apparatus for wireless communications wherein a base station (102) transmits a signal to sending data to a subscriber station (108) through a signal beam (110) that sweeps through the coverage area of the base station (102). User data addressed to the subscriber station (108) is buffered until the signal beam angle of the signal (110) beam allows efficient transmission. The base station (102) may alter the beam sweep speed or the shape of the beam's radiation pattern (106) over time to maximize system efficiency and capacity.

A demultiplexer (402) for channel interleaving in communications systems with multiple carriers and/or transmitter diversity includes a distribution module (700) that distributes data bits in succession to successive transmitter antennas, and a switching module coupled to the distribution module. The distribution module (700) routes one data bit to each antenna such that no data bit is routed to the same antenna as the previous data bit. The switching module controls the distribution module (700) to skip an antenna in the routing process once each time a predefined number of data bits has been routed. Alternatively, the switching module may control the distribution module to repeat an antenna in the routing process once each time a predefined number of data bits has been routed. The transmitter antennas may, in the alternative, be different carrier frequency bands.

In an OFDM system, a transmitter broadcasts a first TDM pilot on a first set of subbands followed by a second TDM pilot on a second set of subbands in each frame. The subbands in each set are selected from among N total subbands such that (1) an OFDM symbol for the first TDM pilot contains at least S1 identical pilot-1 sequences of length L1 and (2) an OFDM symbol for the second TDM pilot contains at least S2 identical pilot-2 sequences of length L2, where L2 > L1, S1 • L1 = N, and S2 • L2 = N. The transmitter may also broadcast an FDM pilot. A receiver processes the first TDM pilot to obtain frame timing (e.g., by performing correlation between different pilot-1 sequences) and further processes the second TDM pilot to obtain symbol timing (e.g., by detecting for the start of a channel impulse response estimate derived from the second TDM pilot).
摘要:
Apparatus and methods for estimating the frequency of a sleep or slow clock by selectively utilizing an estimated sleep clock frequency and an estimated change in the sleep clock frequency. The disclosed apparatus includes a sleep clock frequency estimator to output a fast clock derived sleep clock frequency estimate and a sleep clock change frequency estimator to output an estimate of a change in frequency of the sleep clock. The apparatus further includes a combiner that weights at least one of the fast clock derived sleep clock frequency estimate to obtain a weighted sleep clock frequency estimate and the estimate of the change in frequency of the sleep clock to obtain a weighted estimate of the change in frequency of the sleep clock. The combiner also determines a new estimate of the sleep clock frequency using at least one of the weighted sleep clock frequency estimate and the weighted estimate of the change in frequency of the sleep clock. Complementary methods are also disclosed.

The method also includes averaging the interference estimate (Iest) to determine average channel interference (Ic), and determining interference energy (I) based on the interference estimate (Iest) and the average channel interference (Ic). In another aspect, an apparatus includes threshold logic configured to set a threshold value and compare a channel estimate to the threshold value to determine an interference estimate (Iest).
