Abstract:
An OFDM receiver operates in a high-throughput mode or an increased-range mode. The receiver includes FFT circuitry to generate frequency domain symbol-modulated subcarriers for a set of OFDM subcarriers. During the increased-range mode, data is received on a single subchannel and the FFT circuitry generates frequency domain symbol-modulated subcarriers for a set of OFDM subcarriers associated with the single subchannel. During the high-throughput mode, data is received on each subchannel of a plurality of subchannels and the FFT circuitry generates frequency domain symbol-modulated subcarriers for a different one of the subchannels. The OFDM receiver may operate in accordance with one of the IEEE 802.11 standards.

Briefly, in accordance with one embodiment of the invention, bit and power loading may be utilized to select a modulation rate and subcarrier power scaling based on channel state information. As a result, a higher data rate may be utilized for a given signal-to-noise ratio while maintaining a constant bit error rate.

Abstract:
An adaptive interleaver for wideband orthogonal frequency division multiplexed (OFDM) communications permutes a variable number of coded bits per OFDM symbol (Ncbps). The variable number of coded bits is calculated based on individual subcarrier modulation assignments for orthogonal subcarriers of a wideband channel. The interleaver matrix size may be based on the variable number of coded bits per OFDM symbol and the number of subchannels that comprise the wideband channel. The interleaver may add padding bits to the interleaver matrix to fill any remaining positions, and after performing an interleaving operation, the interleaver may prune the padding bits to provide a sequence of interleaved bits for subsequent modulation on the orthogonal subcarriers. A receiver may include an adaptive deinterleaver to reverse the process.
Abstract:
A data rate is selected for subcarriers of each frequency and spatial channel of a slowly varying frequency selective multicarrier channel to provide uniform bit loading (UBL) for faster link adaptation. Signal to noise ratios (SNRs) for subcarriers of the multicarrier communication channel may be calculated from channel state information and a transmit power level. A throughput may be estimated for the data rates from the SNRs and one of the data rates may be selected based on the estimated throughputs.
Abstract:
A system and a method is disclosed for selecting at least one vertical precoding vector of a three-dimensional Multiple Input Multiple Output (3D-MIMO) configuration based on Channel State Information-Reference Signal (CSI-RS) information that is feedback from a wireless terminal device to an evolved Node B (eNB). The 3D-MIMO CSI-RS process is configured for a plurality of CSI-RS ports in which the plurality of CSI-RS ports that are grouped into a plurality of CSI-RS port groups and in which corresponds to the 3D arrangement of antennas. CSI configuration information for the different CSI-RS port groups can be a time-domain-based CSI-RS process, a frequency-domain-based CSI-RS process, a code-domain-based CSI-RS process, or a combination thereof. CSI-RS information is measured for each CSI-RS group and feedback for selection of the at least one vertical precoding vector.
Abstract:
A Second Synchronous Signal (SSS) for a 3GPP LTE downlink signal is generated in such a way that a legacy User Equipment (UE) can determine whether the downlink signal comprises a legacy downlink signal or a New Carrier Type (NCT) downlink signal, which is unavailable to a legacy UE. One exemplary embodiment provides that a first binary sequence and a second binary sequence are generated in which the first and second binary sequences are part of the SSS for the downlink signal. The first binary sequence is multiplied by a first scrambling sequence, and the second binary sequence by a second scrambling sequence in which the first and second scrambling sequences are selected to indicate that the downlink signal is a new carrier type downlink signal. Other exemplary embodiments provide that an order of the first and second scrambling sequences indicates whether the downlink signal is a NCT downlink signal.

Abstract:
Embodiments of a transmitter and methods for puncturing bits are generally described herein. Other embodiments may be described and claimed. In some embodiments, a multicarrier transmitter performs bit puncturing for pilot subcarriers in two operations. The first operation may uniformly removes bits from an encoded bit stream to achieve a predetermined code rate reserving space for pilot subcarriers of a predetermined number of antennas. The second operation may remove bits from each spatial data stream after interleaving in a manner to achieve approximately equal spacing between the punctured bits before interleaving. In this way, a conventional interleaver may be used. The second operation reserves space for pilot subcarriers when a greater number of antennas than the predetermined number are used.
