Abstract:
A plurality of training signal sets are transmitted. Each training signal set includes information sufficient to determine a channel estimate corresponding to a communication channel from a first station to a second station. A refined channel estimate is determined based on reception of the plurality of training signal sets.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus are provided for adaptively selecting a communications mode in high frequency systems. A first dual-mode device having capabilities of using two or more high frequency communications modes, such as OFDM and SC modulation, may transmit a signal to a second dual-mode device with the same capabilities. The second dual-mode device may compute a channel characteristic associated with a high frequency communications channel and select an optimal high frequency communications mode. The second dual-mode device may transmit information indicative of the channel characteristic or the selected communications mode to the first dual-mode device. The first dual-mode device may select and operate using the optimal high frequency communications mode based on the information received from the second dual-mode device. The first and second dual-mode devices may communicate using the selected high frequency communications mode.
Abstract:
A method includes determining a mean square error σh2 of an estimate h of a communication channel, and receiving a data symbol y. The received data symbol y corresponds to a data symbol x transmitted over the communication channel. The method also includes determining a likelihood value for a bit in the transmitted data symbol x. Determining the likelihood value for the bit in the transmitted data symbol x includes calculating a quantity according to ⅇ - y - hx 2 σ z 2 + σ h 2 x 2 , where σz2 is a noise power associated with the communication channel. The method also includes calculating the likelihood value for the bit in the transmitted data symbol x as a function of the calculated quantity.

Abstract:
Systems and methods are provided for processing a payload portion of a received signal in a single carrier mode or a multiple carrier mode based on a portion of the received signal. A single carrier signaling portion is received at a first rate, and whether the payload portion of the signal is a single carrier signal or a multiple carrier signal is detected from the received single carrier signaling portion. The payload portion of the received signal is received at the first rate and demodulated in a single carrier mode if the detecting determines that the payload portion of the received signal is a single carrier signal, and the payload portion of the received signal is demodulated in a multiple carrier mode if the detecting determines that the payload portion of the received signal is a multiple carrier signal.
Abstract:
A plurality of sub-channel response estimates corresponding to a plurality of contiguous sub-channels in a communication channel are determined, and a plurality of weight coefficients are determined. The plurality of sub-channel response estimates are multiplied with the plurality of weight coefficients to generate a plurality of weighted sub-channel response estimates. A filtered sub-channel response estimate for one of the plurality of contiguous sub channels is generated using the plurality of weighted sub-channel response estimates.
