    摘要: Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate monitoring RF channels in a wireless communication environment to determine whether one or more channels comprise a forward-link-only (FLO) signal. A receiver can receive a first RF channel with a FLO signal and can monitor other RF channels for FLO signals. Upon a determination that a monitored RF channel comprises a FLO signal, the receiver can switch between the first RF channel and the monitored RF channel to facilitate providing seamless reception of the FLO signal, which can be superframe synchronized between RF channels. FLO signal detection can be performed using one or more of a wide-area identification channel energy detection protocol and a wide-area overhead information symbol decoding error detection protocol.

    摘要: An adaptive thresholding technique eliminates suboptimum threshold values by adjusting for varying channel conditions to eliminate interference where no channel energy is present, without discarding viable taps having useful channel energy. The adaptive thresholding technique adaptively optimizes receive threshold values for both wide and local area channels based only on measured C/I ratios 300. Thresholds are calculated based on instantaneous C/I estimates and/or weighted average C/I estimates calculated from WID/LID energies obtained from the current superframe WIC/LIC symbols respectively. In alternate embodiments, thresholds are calculated based on instantaneous C/I estimates and/or weighted average C/I estimates calculated from WTPC and LTPC symbols for the wide and local area channels, respectively The present adaptive thresholding technique dynamically reduces the threshold as the C/I estimate increases to mitigate performance degradation due to removal of weak signal taps. There is a separate threshold for each of the 12 coding and modulation modes supported by an exemplary receiver.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus for transmitter identification in a wireless network are disclosed. In an example, a method is provided that encodes pilot information on a first portion of a number of subcarriers in a symbol within a pilot positioning channel for an active transmitter. The method further includes encoding transmitter identification information on a second dedicated portion of the number of subcarriers of the symbol. The method also encompasses including a transmitter allocation field that signals the number of succeeding symbols that will be used by the transmitter for transmitting any other information in an interference free manner. In another example, a method is provided that receives a symbol having a number of subcarriers from a transmitter. A channel estimate and an energy measurement of the symbol using a first portion of the subcarriers. A dedicated second portion of the number of subcarriers in the symbol are then decoded to determine the transmitter identification information.

A receiver can receive a first RF channel with a FLO signal and can monitor other RF channels for FLO signals.
