Methods and apparatus are provided for communicating pseudo-orthogonal pilot tones in a multiple antenna communication system. Data is transmitted in a multiple antenna communication system having N transmit antennas by generating a number of pilot tones for each of the N transmit antennas, wherein the pilot tones for each of the N transmit antennas are pseudo-orthogonal with each other; and transmitting the data on each of the N transmit antennas. The pilot tones are generally embedded in the data. Data is received in a multiple antenna communication system having N transmit antennas by receiving the data on each of the N transmit antennas, wherein the data includes a number of pilot tones for each of the N transmit antennas, wherein the pilot tones for each of the N transmit antennas are pseudo-orthogonal with each other. The pilot tones can be orthogonal in the frequency domain, time domain, spatial domain, or all of them.

Electronic devices may be provided that contain wireless communication circuitry. The wireless communication circuitry may include radio-frequency transceiver circuitry coupled to antennas by switching circuitry. Multiple radio access technologies may be supported. A device may include first and second antennas. Control circuitry can configure the transceiver circuitry and switching circuitry to support operation of the device in active and idle modes for each radio access technology. In some configurations, both antennas may be used to support operations associated with one of the radio access technologies. In other configurations, the first antenna may be used to support operations with a first of the radio access technologies while the second antenna is used to support operations with a second of the radio access technologies.

Electronic devices may be provided that contain wireless communications circuitry. The wireless communications circuitry may include radio-frequency transceiver circuitry coupled to multiple antennas. An electronic device may alternate between a sleep mode and a wake mode. During wake mode, the electronic device may monitor a paging channel in a wireless network for incoming paging signals. The device may use either a single antenna mode or a multiple antenna mode such as a dual antenna mode in monitoring the paging channel. In the single antenna mode, a single active antenna is used to receive paging signals. In the dual antenna mode two antennas are simultaneously used to receive paging signals. The device may choose which antenna mode to use based on signal quality measurements and history information on successfully received paging signals.

A single chip mobile wireless device capable of receiving and transmitting over one wireless network at a time maintains registration on two wireless communication networks that each use different communication protocols in parallel. Periodically, the mobile wireless device tunes one or more receivers from a first wireless network to a second wireless network in order to listen for paging messages addressed to the mobile wireless device from the second wireless network. The first wireless network suspends allocation of radio resources to the mobile wireless device based on receipt of a suspension message from the mobile wireless device, or based on knowledge of a paging cycle for mobile wireless device in the second wireless network, or based on detection of an out of synchronization condition with the mobile wireless device.

A user device receives packets from a base station. The user device may invoke decoding while the packet is still being received, based on the incomplete contents of a given packet. This “partial packet decoding” relies on the fact that the underlying information in the packet is encoded with redundancy (code rate less than one). If link quality is poor, the partial packet decoding is likely to be unsuccessful, i.e., to fail in its attempt to recover the underlying information. To avoid waste of power, the user device may be configured to apply one or more tests of link quality prior to invoking the partial packet decoding on a current packet.

A mobile wireless device adapts receive diversity during discontinuous reception based on downlink signal quality, page indicators and page messages. When the downlink signal quality exceeds a pre-determined threshold, the mobile wireless device decodes a page indicator channel through an initial antenna, and otherwise, decodes a paging channel through the initial antenna without decoding the page indicator channel. The mobile wireless device switches to decoding the paging channel through an alternate antenna when a page indicator decodes as an erasure. When a paging message received through a single antenna decodes with an incorrect error checking code, the mobile wireless devices enables receive diversity through multiple antennas for subsequent decoding. The mobile wireless device switches between single antenna reception and multiple antenna reception based on tracking multiple consecutive error checking code failures and successes.

A Channel Quality Indicator table for wireless multiple input multiple output (MIMO) networks is disclosed. In one embodiment, a method of generating a table for channel quality indicator (CQI) for an open loop MIMO transmission includes calculating performance of a link between a transmitter and a user end unit for each MIMO transmission mode over a range of average signal-to-noise ratio, and selecting the MIMO transmission mode that maximizes performance for each subset of the range of average signal-to-noise ratio. The method further includes storing the selected MIMO transmission mode and the corresponding subset of the range of average signal-to-noise ratio in a CQI table, the CQI table being stored in an user end unit and a base transceiver station of the open loop MIMO network.

In one embodiment, the present invention generates a single rotation angle that may be used to maximize diversity of a quasi-orthogonal space-time block code that encodes groups of four data symbols. Two rotation angles corresponding the first two data symbols in a group are set to zero, and two rotation angles corresponding to the second two data symbols in a group are set to a single initial value. A codeword distance matrix is determined for each possible combination of codewords and erroneously decoded codewords that may be generated using the initial rotation angle, and the minimum of the determinants of these matrices is selected. This process is repeated to generate a plurality of minimum determinants, and, for each iteration, a different single rotation angle corresponding to the second two data symbols is used. Then, a single rotation angle is selected that corresponds to the maximum of the minimum determinants.

Methods and systems are provided for estimating the DC offset distortion in a receiver. A fast Fourier transform is applied to at least a portion of a preamble portion of the received signal; an impact of the DC offset distortion on one or more empty subcarriers is determined; individual DC estimates are derived based on each of the determinations; and each of the individual DC estimates are combined to obtain an overall DC estimate.
