摘要： Aspects of the invention include methods and devices for inserting data and pilot symbols into Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) frames having a time domain and a frequency domain. A method involves inserting in at least one zone of a first type a two dimensional array of data and pilot symbols in time and frequency and inserting in at least one zone of a second type a two dimensional array of data and pilot symbols in time and frequency. In some implementations the zone of the first type comprises common pilot symbols that can be detected by all receivers receiving the OFDM frame. In some implementations the zone of the second type comprises dedicated pilot symbols that are only detectable by a receiver that is aware of pre-processing used to encode the dedicated pilot symbols. According to various embodiments of the invention, the zones of the first and second types can be partitioned in the OFDM frame based on time division multiplexing (TDM), frequency division multiplexing (FDM) or combined TDM/FDM. Examples of types of transmissions that could be transmitted in different zones of a single OFDM frame are OFDM multiple input multiple output (MIMO) transmissions and OFDM beam forming transmissions.

摘要： The present invention provides a preamble that is inserted into an OFDMA frame and has a common sequence for all the base stations participating in a transmission. The subscriber station performs fine synchronization using the common sequence on the common preamble, and the resulting peaks will provide the locations of candidate base stations. The base station specific search is then performed in the vicinities of those peaks by using base station specific pseudo-noise sequences. With this two stage cell search, the searching window is drastically reduced. The preamble is matched to known values by a respective receiver to decode the signals and permit multiple signals to be transferred from the transmitter to the receiver. The preamble may comprise two parts, Preamble-1 and Preamble-2, which may be used in different systems, including multioutput, multi-input (MIMO) systems.

摘要： The signals from adjacent transmitters reinforce one another. As a result of this over-the-air combining, signal quality is improved in the network and especially at or near cell boundaries. The present invention provides a graduated single frequency network (GSFN) wherein transmitters in cells throughout a geographic area cooperate to broadcast data to user terminals throughout the geographic area, and adjacent transmitters transmit signals that substantially reinforce one another. When transmitting the data, transmitters in certain adjacent cells throughout the geographic area may employ slightly different transmit parameters to provide slightly different transmission signals. The transmission signals used to transmit the data may be varied in a graduated fashion throughout the geographic area, wherein even when there is a difference in the transmission signals of transmitters in adjacent cells, the transmission signals reinforce one another despite being different.

摘要： A method and apparatus are provided for a wireless communication system including a base station and at least one user equipment. A Channel Quality Indicator (CQI) table can be generated so that only an index corresponding to the measured CQI needs to be fed back to the base station. The CQI tables proposed herein may be suitable to different channel statistics, different Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) mode and may be optimized based on either performance or implementation complexity. Multiple CQI tables may be formed into one compound CQI table. The CQI tables may be stored at both a base station and user equipment. The base station can select a CQI table from the set of tables. The base station signals the selection of the CQI table to the user equipment and the user equipment feeds back indices from the selected CQI table to the base station.

摘要： A method and apparatus are provided for measuring channel quality over which has been transmitted a sequence of symbols produced by encoding and constellation mapping a source data element sequence. The method includes receiving a sequence of received symbols over the channel whose quality is to be measured. The sequence of received symbols is de-mapped based on a first channel quality indicator previously transmitted to a transmitter of the sequence of symbols. The method also includes decoding the de-mapped symbols to produce a decoded output sequence. In some embodiments, the decoding may be based on the first channel quality indicator. The method also includes re-encoding the decoded output sequence to produce a re-encoded output sequence. The method also includes correlating the de-mapped symbols with the re-encoded output sequence to produce a second channel quality indicator. The second channel quality indicator is transmitted to the transmitter to adaptively select a type of mapping based on the second channel quality indicator. In some embodiments, the transmitter may adaptively select a type of encoding based on the second channel quality indicator.

摘要： The present invention provides an effective way to create a virtual MIMO transmission system using mobile terminals that have only one transmit path and antenna. This is accomplished by assigning mobile terminals to a group and assigning certain shared resources and user-specific resources to those mobile terminals in the group. In a synchronized fashion, the mobile terminals will provide uplink transmission in concert, as if they were a single entity having multiple transmission paths and antennas. Preferably, the shared resources bear on how the data is transmitted, and the user-specific resources relate to pilot signals. The data transmitted may be encoded in any number of ways, and in one embodiment, the mobile terminals may relay their information to each other, such that uplink transmissions can incorporate STTD decoding or other space-time codes. The invention is applicable to virtually any multiple access technology, including OFDM, TDMA, and CDMA, preferably synchronous CDMA.
