摘要:
Methods and apparatus for setting timing of sampling of one or more symbols. The disclosed methods account for at least three types of effective interference (EI) and are used to set the timing of a sampling window for sampling received symbols. The methods includes setting timing based on determining an energy density function accounting for both static and dynamic EI, determining the minimum of a total energy profile and sliding the sampling window to ensure that the minimum point is at a predetermined point, and determining and using a composite energy profile accounting for short term and long term fading effects. The disclosed apparatus include a transceiver employing one or more of the disclosed methods for setting timing when receiving the symbols.

A system and method for frequency diversity uses interleaving in a wireless communication system utilizing orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) with various FFT sizes. Subcarriers of one or more interlaces are interleaved in a bit reversal fashion and the one or more interlaces are interleaved.

Apparatus and methods for estimating the frequency of a sleep or slow clock using a fast clock, such as a temperature compensated crystal oscillator. The disclosed apparatus include an estimator having a first counter that receives sleep clock synchronized pulses issuing each cycle of the sleep clock period, yet are synchronized to a fast clock. The slow clock synchronized pulses are counted up to a predetermined number; whereupon a full count signal is issued. A second counter receives the full count signal and increments each time the full count signal is received. A third counter counts fast clock cycles until the full count signal occurs. Based on the number of counts of the slow and fast clock cycles, the frequency of the slow clock may be determined using only the domain of the fast clock for performing the measurement thereby tying accuracy of the measurement to the accuracy of the fast clock. The disclosed apparatus also include an integrated circuit and a transceiver employing the disclosed estimator. Corresponding methods are also disclosed.

A wireless communication system includes a transmitting device having a formatting circuit. The formatting circuit for constructing a frame, the frame including frame header, frame CRC, and a message slot. The message slot having a predetermined length for carrying signaling message, the signaling message including a message header having the message length, a message body and a message CRC, the message body and message CRC being repeated to fill the message slot, a partial copy being copied into the message slot if the slot is not full and a full copy of the message body and message CRC will not fit. A receiving device includes a format circuit coupled to the decoder for outputting a message from the decoded frame, the format circuit to check the frame CRC to determine if the frame CRC is good, to check the message CRC to determine if the message CRC is good, and to reconstruct the message from the full and partial copies of the message if the message CRC is not good.

Method and apparatus for progressive preamble transmission in a communication system, such as a wireless system, is disclosed. In particular, a first symbol is utilized to communicate first timing information for coarse timing acquisition. A second symbol communicates first information including network identification information concerning a first network for fine timing acquisition of symbols in the first network. If a second network data is desired, a progressive or selectively utilizable third symbol communicates second information including network identification information concerning a second network. The network identification information concerning the second network includes network identification information concerning the first network to minimize processing to determine fine timing acquisition for the second network data.

Techniques for sending sector/system information in TDM pilots using a hierarchical pilot structure are described. A base station sends multiple sets of bits for the sector/system information in multiple TDM pilots. The set of bits sent in a given TDM pilot may include bits sent in earlier TDM pilots. In one design, the base station generates a first TDM pilot based on a first set of bits, generates a second TDM pilot based on a second set of bits that includes the first set, generates a third TDM pilot based on all bits for the information, and sends the TDM pilots. A terminal performs detection to obtain a first detected value for the first TDM pilot, performs detection based on the first detected value to obtain a second detected value for the second TDM pilot, and performs detection based on the first and second detected values to obtain a third detected value for the third TDM pilot.

A method for controlling gain in a wireless repeater includes computing a gain control metric indicative of a loop gain of the repeater and detecting changes in a signal power of a gain control input signal where the gain control input signal is taken from any point in the feedback loop of the repeater. When a large power swing in the gain control input signal is detected, the method operates to discard at least a portion of each gain control metric measurement for a first duration before continuing with computing the gain control metric. In another embodiment, the method may include discarding samples of the gain control input signal used in computing the gain control metric for a first duration when a large power swing in the gain control input signal is detected.

A wireless repeater incorporates a gain management block to implement a multi-parameter gain management algorithm. The gain management algorithm receives gain settings from at least a gain control metric for stability and output signal quality and signal headroom values associated with circuitry of the repeater. The gain management block provides secure and robust boot-up of the repeater as well as oscillation detection and prevention. Furthermore, the gain management block implements repeater stability control, output signal-to-noise level control, uplink and downlink gain balance control and compensation for device constraints.
