Abstract:
A noise estimation filter for an orthogonal frequency-division multiplexed (OFDM) system can include a filter bank module, a coefficient squaring module, and a summing module. The filter bank module can multiply a unitary vector by an OFDM signal vector to generate scalar products of the OFDM signal vector. The coefficient squaring module can square the scalar products and weight the scalar products to generate a plurality of weighted single estimates. The coefficient squaring module can include a squaring module for squaring the scalar product to generate a plurality of single estimates and a coefficient multiplication module for weighting each of the single estimates with a noise coefficient forming a plurality of weighted single estimates. The summing module can sum the weighted single estimates to generate a noise and interference power estimate.

Abstract:
A method and apparatus to transmit pilot subcarriers over uplink channels. The pilot subcarriers includes symbols which hierarchically structured. The symbol includes a first split of at least two fractional frequency reuse (FFR) groups, a second split of a fractional frequency reuse (FFR) group to a distributed resource group and localized resource group and a third split of said distributed resource group and localized resource group into plurality of subchannels.
Abstract:
A novel pilot method employs a cluster having a particular arrangement of pilot sub-carriers to optimize transmissions under 802.16 m, or WiMAX-II. The optimally configured cluster features equal pilot density per OFDM symbol, two or more pilot sub-carriers per cluster, and interlaced pilot sub-carriers, which enables the base stations to successfully boost the pilot sub-carriers, for optimum performance.
Abstract:
Methods and arrangements for wireless communications are described. Embodiments include transformations, code, state machines or other logic to receive from a transmitter a signal representing a known sequence of symbols. The signal may be transmitted over a plurality of sub channels. The embodiments may also include determining channel responses at the sub channels and determining a reception of the known sequence. The determining may include treating the channel responses at the sub channels in a differential manner to cancel out channel phase responses and obtain channel amplitudes. In some embodiments, the cancelling may be performed by multiplying frequency domain values representing reception of a sub channel by the complex conjugate of frequency domain values of a neighboring sub channel. Many embodiments may also include calculating a carrier to interference and noise ratio (CINR) of the signal. In several embodiments, the signal may represent the preamble of a wireless frame.

Abstract:
A method for managing and allocating radio resources (RRMA method) of multiple radio resource types to subscriber stations is disclosed. The RRMA method includes bandwidth partitioning, into parts comprising “slots” with a given reuse pattern, a selection rule, to select a “cell, reuse pattern” pair serving each user, and an allocation rule, for distributing to each user an appropriate number of bandwidth slots from the selected “cell, reuse pattern” pair. After an adaptation period, the method reaches a desired fairness, while simultaneously reaching a maximal mean throughput, possible under this fairness. For big networks, the method provides basically decentralized radio resource management. The RRMA method is useful to cellular networks having a single set of orthogonal sub-channels (frequency/time slots) being reused by all network cells, such as time division multiple access (TDMA), orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA), or OFDMA/TDMA cellular systems. Particularly, the method is applicable in fractional frequency reuse cellular networks.
