Abstract:
Embodiments of a transmitter and methods for puncturing bits are generally described herein. Other embodiments may be described and claimed. In some embodiments, a multicarrier transmitter performs bit puncturing for pilot subcarriers in two operations. The first operation may uniformly removes bits from an encoded bit stream to achieve a predetermined code rate reserving space for pilot subcarriers of a predetermined number of antennas. The second operation may remove bits from each spatial data stream after interleaving in a manner to achieve approximately equal spacing between the punctured bits before interleaving. In this way, a conventional interleaver may be used. The second operation reserves space for pilot subcarriers when a greater number of antennas than the predetermined number are used.
Abstract:
A multicarrier transmitter assigns for each of a plurality of spatial channels, sets of the constellation symbols to subcarriers of each subchannel. Constellation symbol assignments to the subchannels are circularly rotated among some of the spatial channels so that subchannels use different sets of subcarriers for each spatial channel for enhanced frequency diversity.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus provide increased symbol length with more subcarriers in a fixed-bandwidth system. The subcarriers spacing may be reduced to provide increased symbol length and enable higher throughput. In one implementation, a system compatible with the IEEE P802.11n proposal can use 128 subcarriers in 20 MHz operation to provide increased throughput in lower-bandwidth channel operation.
Abstract:
Noise power is estimated for subcarriers in a multicarrier system by first decoding a received multicarrier signal and then using the decoded signal information and the received signal information to perform the estimation. Soft decision or hard decision decoding may be used. In at least one embodiment, channel estimates are also made using the decoded signal information and the received signal information.
Abstract:
A method for selecting transmission parameters of a multicarrier communication channel comprises setting a power level for active subcarriers of a multicarrier communication channel based on a number of the active subcarriers to achieve a highest channel capacity.
Abstract:
An adaptive interleaver for wideband orthogonal frequency division multiplexed (OFDM) communications permutes a variable number of coded bits per OFDM symbol (Ncbps). The variable number of coded bits is calculated based on individual subcarrier modulation assignments for orthogonal subcarriers of a wideband channel. The interleaver matrix size may be based on the variable number of coded bits per OFDM symbol and the number of subchannels that comprise the wideband channel. The interleaver may add padding bits to the interleaver matrix to fill any remaining positions, and after performing an interleaving operation, the interleaver may prune the padding bits to provide a sequence of interleaved bits for subsequent modulation on the orthogonal subcarriers. A receiver may include an adaptive deinterleaver to reverse the process.
Abstract:
Briefly, in accordance with one embodiment of the invention, bit and power loading may be utilized to select a modulation rate and subcarrier power scaling based on channel state information. As a result, a higher data rate may be utilized for a given signal-to-noise ratio while maintaining a constant bit error rate.
Abstract:
Embodiments of apparatus and methods for signaling for resource allocation and scheduling in 5G-NR integrated access and backhaul are generally described herein. In some embodiments, User Equipment configured for reporting a channel quality indicator (CQI) index in a channel state information (CSI) reference resource assumes a physical resource block (PRB) bundling size of two PRBs to derive the CQI index.
Abstract:
Embodiments of a Machine Type Communication User Equipment (MTC UE), Next Generation Node-B (gNB) and methods of communication are generally described herein. The MTC UE may determine a system timing based on reception of a primary synchronization signal (PSS) and a secondary synchronization signal (SSS). The MTC UE may receive, from the gNB, radio resource control (RRC) signaling that indicates one or more parameters of a configurable resynchronization signal (RSS). The RSS may be for resynchronization, by the MTC UE, after the MTC UE awakens from a power save mode. The parameters of the RSS in the RRC signaling may depend on a target coverage of the MTC UE. The MTC UE may determine an updated system timing based on reception of the RSS.
