    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.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus for adapting a channel estimation scheme in a transceiver in a communication system are disclosed to adapt channel estimation to the transceiver environment, particularly for high Doppler environments. The disclosed methods and apparatus effect determination of an estimate of a power delay profile of a channel or a time correlation of the channel, or both. A channel estimation scheme is then determined based on at least one of the determined power delay profile and time correlation of the channel. By basing determination of a channel estimation scheme on the power delay profile and/or the time correlation of the channel, the channel estimation scheme is adapted to the particular environment of the transceiver by accounting for the delay spread of the channel and/or the speed of the transceiver.
