Abstract: A communications device configured to receive data transmitted as encoded data packets from an infrastructure equipment of a wireless communications network. Each of the encoded data packets are transmitted as a control signal component and a data signal component. The control signal component carries control information for detecting and decoding the data signal component in which the encoded data carried by the encoded data packet is transmitted. As part of the ARQ-type protocol, at least the control signal component may be re-transmitted. By including with the control information carried by the retransmitted control signals an indication of at least a temporal location of the data signal component, which has already been transmitted and received in a buffer of a receiver, an improvement in a use of communications resource can be provided and also in some embodiments an improvement in a likelihood of correctly detecting and decoding an encoded data packet.

Abstract: A receiver recovers local service data symbols from first Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexed (OFDM) symbols in the presence of second OFDM symbols, the second OFDM symbols carry national broadcast data symbols and modulated on to the sub-carriers of the second OFDM symbols using a first modulation scheme, and the first OFDM symbols carry the national broadcast data symbols and the local service data symbols from a local insertion pipe and modulated on to the sub-carriers of the first OFDM symbols using a second modulation scheme. The receiver comprises an OFDM detector which includes an equaliser for recovering local service modulated sub-carriers of the second modulation scheme by generating an estimate of a combined channel ([Hn(z)+Hl(z)]) via which the first and second OFDM symbols have passed using the pilot sub-carrier symbols of the first and second OFDM symbols; generating an estimate of national broadcast modulation symbols from the modulated data bearing sub-carriers of the first modulation scheme from the second OFDM symbols (Ŝ(z)); generating an estimate of a convolution of the combined channel and the national broadcast modulation symbols (Ŝ(z)[Hn(z)+Hl(z)]); generating an estimate of a component of the received base band signal representing the local service modulation symbols of the first OFDM symbol; generating an estimate of a channel via which the first OFDM symbols were received using the local pilot symbols (Ĥl(z)); and generating an estimate of local service data symbols from a combination of the estimate of the component of the received signal representing the modulation symbols carrying the local service data and the estimate of the channel via which the first OFDM symbols were received ( D ~ ( z ) ≈ R ( z ) - S ^ ( z ) [ H n ( z ) + H l ( z ) ] H ^ l ( z ) ) .

Abstract: A transmitter transmits payload data using Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexed (OFDM) symbols, the transmitter comprising frame builder circuitry configured to receive the payload data to be transmitted and to receive signalling information for use in detecting and recovering the payload data at a receiver, and to form the payload data into frames with the signalling information as a preamble to each of the frames for transmission. Modulator circuitry is configured to modulate one or more first OFDM symbols with the signalling information to form the preamble of each frame and to modulate one or more second OFDM symbols with the payload data to form post preamble waveform of each frame. Transmission circuitry is configured to transmit the one or more first OFDM symbols as a preamble and the second OFDM symbols as the post preamble waveform. The transmitter includes signature sequence circuitry configured to provide a transmitter identifier signature sequence, the transmitter identifier signature sequence being one of a set of signature sequences to represent one of a predetermined set of identifiers which identify the transmitter to a receiver, and a combiner configured to combine the transmitter identifier signature sequence with one or more of the first OFDM symbols of the preamble or one or more additional OFDM symbols of the preamble dedicated to carry the transmitter identifier. A receiver can therefore be configured to identify the one or more of the first OFDM symbols of the preamble or one or more additional OFDM symbols of the preamble dedicated to carry the transmitter identifier, and to identify the transmitter of the received signal from the transmitter identifier sequence.

Abstract: In a wireless communications system, an infrastructure equipment is configured to form a synchronization signal block comprising one or more Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexed, OFDM, symbol carrying a synchronization sequence and one or more other OFDM symbols carrying information of a physical broadcast channel of the wireless access interface. Each of the one or more OFDM symbols of the synchronization block is formed by a plurality of frequency domain sub-carrier signals each being transmitted over the duration of the OFDM symbol in a resource element of the wireless access interface. Each OFDM symbol of the synchronization signal block has the same sub-carrier spacing, and each of the one or more other OFDM symbols carrying information of a physical broadcast channel of the wireless access interface is arranged to include demodulation reference symbols.
