Techniques for transmitting pilot and for processing received pilot to obtain channel and interference estimates are described. A terminal may generate pilot symbols for a first cluster in a time frequency block based on a first sequence and may generate pilot symbols for a second cluster in the time frequency block based on a second sequence. The first and second sequences may include common elements arranged in different orders and may be considered as different versions of a single sequence. The terminal may transmit the pilot symbols in their respective clusters. A base station may obtain received pilot symbols from multiple clusters in the time frequency block. The base station may form each of multiple basis vectors with multiple versions of the sequence assigned to the terminal and may process the received pilot symbols with the multiple basis vectors to obtain a channel estimate for the terminal.

A method and apparatus for selecting an optimal set of antennas from a plurality of antennas for use by a transmitter and/or receiver having a plurality of RF chains to transmit and/or receive a wireless signal on a wireless link. According to the invention information concerning transmission of wireless signals on the wireless link is determined and an optimal set of antennas from the plurality of antennas is selected based on the information. Thereafter, the RF chains are connected to the optimal set of antennas to permit transmission and/or reception of the wireless signal from the RF chains on the wireless link via the optimal set of antennas. The RF chains correspond in number to the number of antennas in the optimal set of antennas, and the number of antennas included in the plurality of antennas is greater than the number of RF chains.

Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate combining received signals from multiple receive antennas in a wireless communication environment. The received signals from the multiple receive antennas can be weighted utilizing an adaptive combination of maximal ratio combining (MRC) and interference nulling. The combination of MRC and interference nulling can be controlled based upon one or more configurable parameters. For instance, a covariance matrix can be modified to include the one or more configurable parameters, and the modified covariance matrix can be utilized in connection with interference nulling. Further, respective values for the one or more configurable parameters can be selected as a function of at least one input (e.g., measured interference-over-thermal (IoT) value, received loading level indicator, eigenvalue distribution of a covariance matrix, . . . ) related to noise correlation.

A method for stabilizing forward link multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO) rate prediction is described. The forward link channel quality is measured. Instantaneous channel quality estimates are determined for each instantaneous rank. Each instantaneous channel quality estimate provides an instantaneous rate estimate for the instantaneous rank. Rank defines the number of forward link transmission streams and rate defines the total capacity of the forward link for each rank. The instantaneous rates are filtered to determine an average rate per rank. A maximum rate is selected as the maximum over the determined average rate per rank. The instantaneous rank corresponding to the maximum rate is selected as the optimal rank. The instantaneous rate corresponding to the optimal rank is selected as the optimal rate. The optimal rank and optimal rate are then sent to an access point.

Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate equalization of received signals in a wireless communication environment. Using multiple transmit and/or receive antennas and MIMO technology, multiple data streams can be transmitted within a single tone. During equalization, receivers can separate data received within a tone into individual data streams. The equalization process generally is computationally expensive. Equalizer functions include the inverse operation, which can be computed using the fast square root method; however, the fast square root method involves large numbers of computations for a set of matrices, where the size of a matrix in the set of matrices increases with the number of transmit or receive antennas. Utilizing a modification of the fast square root method, a subset of the elements of the matrices can be selected and updated to reduce the number and/or complexity of computations.
