摘要:
Time filtering channel estimates in a wireless communication system, such as an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplex (OFDM) system, can be used to improve the quality of channel estimates. The characteristics of an optimal channel estimate time filter can depend on the manner in which the channel estimate is determined as well as the time correlation of channel estimates. A receiver can implement an adaptive time filter for channel estimates in which the time filter response can vary based on channel estimate parameters. The channel estimate parameters can include the manner of determining channel estimates, a time correlation of channel estimates, and an estimated Doppler frequency. The time filter response can be varied continuously over a range of responses or can be varied discretely over a predetermined number of time filter responses.

Pilot transmission and channel estimation techniques for an OFDM system with excess delay spread are described. To mitigate the deleterious effects of excess delay spread, time filtering is utilized. Time filtering is utilized to combat excess delay spread effects in channel estimation. The time filtering is performed in the presence of staggered pilots and helps in improving the channel estimate in the presence of excess delay spread.
摘要:
A new channel is added to FLO networks that carries embedded signaling parameter information. The design is such that regardless of the actual values of the signaling parameters conveyed, a receiver will be able to demodulate this new channel. Moreover, the addition of the new channel does not render a FLO network that has been so configured to not be backwards-compatible with existing devices.

In a multicasts wireless telecommunication system providing an aggregation of one or more independent data components as a flow, wherein the OIS is located at the latch point of the beginning of the superframe, and the OIS programming is latched at the superframe boundary, the improvement of deriving signal parameter information from Signaling Parameter Channel (SPC) symbols transmitted in a Forward Link only (FLO) network by deriving a time domain channel estimate by assuming each of the combinations for the signal parameter field in the scrambler seed and picking the signal parameter combination that yields the most energy in the time domain above a threshold value.
