    摘要: Frame structures and transmission techniques for a wireless communication system are described. In one frame structure, a super-frame includes multiple outer-frames, and each outer-frame includes multiple frames, and each frame includes multiple time slots. The time slots in each super-frame are allocated for downlink and uplink and for different radio technologies (e.g., W-CDMA and OFDM) based on loading. Each physical channel is allocated at least one time slot in at least one frame of each outer-frame in the super-frame. An OFDM waveform is generated for each downlink OFDM slot and multiplexed onto the slot. A W-CDMA waveform is generated for each downlink W-CDMA slot and multiplexed onto the slot. A modulated signal is generated for the multiplexed W-CDMA and OFDM waveforms and transmitted on the downlink. Each physical channel is transmitted in bursts. The slot allocation and coding and modulation for each physical channel can change for each super-frame.

    摘要: To broadcast different types of transmission having different tiers of coverage in a wireless broadcast network, each base station processes data for a wide-area transmission in accordance with a first mode (or coding and modulation scheme) to generate data symbols for the wide-area transmission and processes data for a local transmission in accordance with a second mode to generate data symbols for the local transmission. The first and second modes are selected based on the desired coverage for wide-area and local transmissions, respectively. The base station also generates pilots and overhead information for local and wide-area transmissions. The data, pilots, and overhead information for local and wide-area transmissions are multiplexed onto their transmission spans, which may be different sets of frequency subbands, different time segments, or different groups of subbands in different time segments. More than two different types of transmission may also be multiplexed and broadcast.

    摘要: Iterative decoder employing multiple external code error checks to lower the error floor and/or improve decoding performance. Data block redundancy, sometimes via a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) or Reed Solomon (RS) code, enables enhanced iterative decoding performance. Improved decoding performance is achieved during interim iterations before the final iteration. A correctly decoded CRC block, indicating a decoded segment is correct with a high degree of certainty, assigns a very high confidence level to the bits in this segment and is fed back to inner and/or outer decoders (with interleaving, when appropriate) for improved iterative decoding. High confidence bits may be scattered throughout inner decoded frames to influence other bit decisions in subsequent iterations. Turbo decoders typically operate relatively well at regions where the BER is high; the invention improves iterative decoder operation at lower BERs, lowering the ‘BER floor’ that is sometimes problematic with conventional turbo decoders.

    摘要: Techniques to seamlessly switch reception between multimedia programs are described. For “continued decoding”, a wireless device continues to receive, decode, decompress, and (optionally) display a current program, even after a new program has been selected, until overhead information needed to decode the new program is received. After receiving the overhead information, the wireless device decodes the new program but continues to decompress the current program. The wireless device decompresses the new program after decoding this program. For “early decoding”, the wireless device receives a user input and identifies a program with potential for user selection. The identified program may be the one highlighted by the user input or a program anticipated to be selected based on the user input. The wireless device initiates decoding of the identified program, prior to its selection, so that the program can be decompressed and displayed earlier if it is subsequently selected.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for processing demodulated data comprising received symbol data is disclosed. A decoder is used to compute estimated symbols and corresponding reliability metrics. The reliability metrics are transformed into reliability weights. Optionally, residuals relating to the difference between the received symbol data and the estimated symbols are computed. Output data are generated comprising any combination of the following: estimated symbols, reliability weights, residuals, and received symbol data. The residuals may be weighted by the reliability metrics and used by demodulation or error compensation loops to instantaneously reduce or increase the bandwidth of these loops.
