摘要:
To support mobile stations that are not capable of demodulating the entire bandwidth or that can be made to demodulate less than the entire bandwidth, a system, apparatus and method are provided to schedule users on less than all of the bandwidth. Further, certain users can be scheduled on more of the bandwidth than others.
摘要:
A wireless communication apparatus in a hierarchically coded modulation system can use error control mechanisms generated during decoding of base layer information to predict a probability of successful demodulation of enhancement layer information. Performance in the demodulation of the base layer correlates to performance in the demodulation of the enhancement layer. The receiver can determine whether to attempt demodulation of temporally correlated enhancement layer data based in part on the predicted probability of success. If the receiver determines not to demodulate the enhancement layer, the receiver can power down the enhancement layer demodulator, or otherwise minimize the power expended in the enhancement layer demodulator.

A media access control (MAC) layer controller can manage base layer data and enhancement layer data in a layered modulation system. The MAC layer controller can process both base layer data and enhancement layer data and map the encoded symbols to a layered modulation constellation when both are present. If data for one of the layers terminates, then the MAC layer controller can generate and supply predetermined stuffing data to the layer lacking additional data. The MAC layer controller can send a control signal to the physical layer hardware to cause the hardware to map the layered signals having the stuffing data to a modified signal constellation. The MAC controller can also generate an overhead message that indicates the occurrence of the stuffing data. The receiver can receive the overhead message and can use the information to configure the receiver for the layered modulation constellation or the modified signal constellation.
摘要:
System for providing hierarchical services in a data network. A method is provided for inserting content into a content stream for rendering on a device. The method includes obtaining one or more annotation parameters that comprise a content identifier, and determining an insertion point indicator that indicates a location in the content stream. The method also includes retrieving the content based on the content identifier, and inserting the content in the content stream at a location indicated by the insertion point indicator.
摘要:
An apparatus and method for generating an accumulated phase measurement of a communications signal over a predetermined time interval. A frequency estimate of the signal is generated; the frequency estimate is then converted to a coarse phase measurement. A phase error is generated based on the frequency estimate; the phase error is then converted to a fine phase measurement. The coarse and fine phase measurements are summed to yield an accumulated phase measurement.

Techniques for managing peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) for multi-carrier modulation in wireless communication systems. Different terminals in a multiple-access system may have different required transmit powers. The number of carriers to allocate to each terminal is made dependent on its required transmit power. Terminals with higher required transmit powers may be allocated fewer carriers (associated with smaller PAPR) to allow the power amplifier to operate at higher power levels. Terminals with lower required transmit powers may be allocated more carriers (associated with higher PAPR) since the power amplifier is operated at lower power levels. The specific carriers to assign to the terminals may also be determined by their transmit power levels to reduce out-of-band emissions. Terminals with higher required transmit powers may be assigned with carriers near the middle of the operating band, and terminals with lower required transmit powers may be assigned with carriers near the band edges.

Calibration for a transmit chain of a device transmitting information to multiple devices over wireless links includes selecting from between two or more calibration determination techniques. In certain aspects the techniques include phase only calibration and phase and amplitude calibration.

A transmitter or receiver device includes a processing system configured to have one or more pilot interlace vectors and one or more distance vectors. The processing system is further configured to generate a first slot interlace for a first slot based on the one or more pilot interlace vectors, and is further configured to generate a second slot interlace for a second slot based on the first slot interlace and the one or more distance vectors. Additional slot interlaces for all other slots may also be generated based on the first slot interlace and the one or more distance vectors.
摘要:
A decoder for a layered modulation system can be configured to independently and concurrently decode each of a base and enhancement layer. The base layer decoder and enhancement layer decoder can be configured substantially in parallel and can each operate concurrently on the same received layered modulation symbol. Each of the base and enhancement layer decoders can be configured with a bit metric module that is configured to determine a signal quality metric based on the received symbol. In systems having turbo encoded data, the bit metric module can be configured to determine a log likelihood ratio. The ratio is based in part on a channel estimate and an energy ratio used in the layered modulation constellation.
