摘要:
Techniques for deriving channel estimates with different channel estimation filters are described. In one scheme, a filter selection metric is determined for a signal to be recovered, a channel estimation filter is selected based on the filter selection metric, and a channel estimate is derived with the selected channel estimation filter. In another scheme, a first channel estimate is derived with a first channel estimation filter having a first filter response, a first signal is recovered with the first channel estimate, and interference due to the first signal is estimated and removed. A second channel estimate is derived with a second channel estimation filter having a second filter response that is different from the first filter response.

A method for improving channel estimation in a wireless communication system is disclosed. A wireless signal that includes a plurality of multipath components is received. N channel estimates are then obtained, where N is any positive integer greater than one. Each channel estimate of the N channel estimates corresponds to a different multipath component of the plurality of multipath components. The effects of interference between the plurality of multipath components on the N channel estimates is then reduced.

A remote station for a wireless communication system including a base station is disclosed. The remote station includes a front end structure configured to receive packet data in parallel on a subset of carrier frequencies. Each packet data is preceded by a header field for identifying the remote station as the recipient of the packet data and the subset of carrier frequencies is based on a set of a corresponding number of multiple carrier frequencies.

Techniques for recovering transmissions on data and control channels with interference cancellation are described. A receiver derives a first interference estimate for a first channel based on a first channel estimate and cancels the first interference estimate from an input signal. The receiver thereafter derives a second interference estimate for the first channel based on a second channel estimate and cancels the second interference estimate in place of the first interference estimate from the input signal. The receiver may derive the first channel estimate based on pilot symbols and may derive the second channel estimate based on a correctly decoded packet. The second channel estimate may be of higher quality than the first channel estimate.

A resource block can include all symbols in a slot for each, generally a multiple of 12, sub-carrier in the resource block. A slot is typically 0.5 milliseconds (ms) and includes 7 symbols for short cyclic prefix (CP) and 6 symbols for long CP. The resource block can include a SRS channel as well as other channels such as an acknowledgement (ACK) channel and a channel quality indication (CQI) channel. Although defined as a separate physical channel the SRS can be multiplex with uplink channels. In accordance therewith, an SRS can be detected in a slot of a 1.0 ms sub-frame constituting two slots, typically one slot but not the other including the SRS. The structure of the slot can be modified to facilitate the multiplexing by, e.g., replacing an existing symbol with the SRS, and a length and a type of a time domain orthogonal spreading code can be determined for each slot as a function of SRS presence.

In a particular embodiment, a method of providing redundancy for error recovery in multi-carrier wireless communications includes transmitting a primary version of information via a first carrier, transmitting a first portion of a redundancy version of the information via a second carrier, and transmitting a second portion of the redundancy version of the information via a third carrier. The primary version is encoded using a first encoding scheme and the redundancy version is encoded using a second encoding scheme. The primary version, the first portion, and the second portion are transmitted substantially simultaneously.

Method and apparatus for a channel sensitive scheduler for scheduling transmissions in a communication system. The scheduler is defined by a priority function of the channel condition as determined by amount of transmission power needed by a mobile station. In one embodiment the channel condition is determined based on the transmission pilot power of each mobile station and is used to calculate a priority value for each mobile station. The mobile stations are then scheduled to transmit based on the priority value.

摘要:
System(s) and method(s) are provided to transmit simultaneously a first and a second communication channel in a single-carrier waveform format with disparate error rate requirements. First channel and second channel are coded individually to form an alphabet for a first and second constellation. Prior to transmission, bits of information of the first and second channels are modulated with a hierarchical modulation constellation is generated through a combination of a first a second constellation; each constellation is assigned a configurable weight (e.g., a “hierarchic weight”) that is expressed in terms of a configurable energy ratio. The energy ratio determines the resilience of bits associated with the first and second channel. Bit mapping within the first and second constellation provides redundancy to mitigate error rate within each quadrant of the hierarchical constellation. Hierarchical modulation of more than two channels can be accomplished through the same principal of individual coding and constellation composition.

Techniques for efficiently supporting frequency selective scheduling (FSS) and frequency diversity scheduling (FDS) are described. In one design, a first transmission for an FSS user may be mapped to a subband selected for this user from among at least one subband in a first frequency region of the system bandwidth. The first transmission may be mapped to a fixed portion or different portions of the selected subband in different time intervals. A second transmission for an FDS user may be mapped across multiple subbands in a second frequency region of the system bandwidth. The second transmission may be mapped to different subbands or different resource blocks in the second frequency region in different time intervals. Each time interval may correspond to a symbol period, a slot, a subframe, etc. The frequency hopping may be performed based on a fixed hopping pattern or a pseudo-random hopping pattern.
