    摘要: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer readable storage media, for extracting transmitter identification information from the Positioning Pilot Channel (PPC) of a MediaFLO superframe. One of a wide area differentiator (WID) value and a local area differentiator (LID) value associated with the transmitter is determined based on signaling in a first interlace of a symbol received via the PPC. A time domain channel estimate is computed for the PPC based on signaling in a plurality of interlaces of the symbol and also based on the one of the WID and LID values. The time domain channel estimate is used to obtain a frequency domain channel estimate for a second interlace of the symbol that carries the transmitter identification information, and the frequency domain channel estimate is used to determine the transmitter identification information.

    摘要: Apparatus and methods are disclosed for testing or qualifying a repeater/transmitter in a multicarrier system by utilizing modulation error ratio (MER). In particular, a disclosed method includes determining an estimated effective modulation error ratio of an output of the repeater/transmitter. The estimated effective modulation error ratio is compared with a predetermined threshold, and the repeater/transmitter is qualified when the estimated effective modulation error ratio is greater than the predetermined threshold. Using an estimated modulation error ratio for repeater/transmitters, which can have non-flat modulation error ratios over a total number of subcarriers, affords an efficient method to test and qualify repeater/transmitters.

    摘要: Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate monitoring RF channels in a wireless communication environment to determine whether one or more channels comprise a forward-link-only (FLO) signal. A receiver can receive a first RF channel with a FLO signal and can monitor other RF channels for FLO signals. Upon a determination that a monitored RF channel comprises a FLO signal, the receiver can switch between the first RF channel and the monitored RF channel. FLO signal detection can be performed using one or more of a wide-area identification channel energy detection protocol and a wide-area overhead information symbol decoding error detection protocol.

A receiver can receive a first RF channel with a FLO signal and can monitor other RF channels for FLO signals. Upon a determination that a monitored RF channel comprises a FLO signal, the receiver can switch between the first RF channel and the monitored RF channel to facilitate providing seamless reception of the FLO signal, which can be superframe synchronized between RF channels. FLO signal detection can be performed using one or more of a wide-area identification channel energy detection protocol and a wide-area overhead information symbol decoding error detection protocol.
