摘要:
Pilot transmission and channel estimation techniques for an OFDM system with excess delay spread are described. To mitigate the deleterious effects of excess delay spread, time filtering is utilized. Time filtering is utilized to combat excess delay spread effects in channel estimation. The time filtering is performed in the presence of staggered pilots and helps in improving the channel estimate in the presence of excess delay spread.

Accordingly, a method and apparatus are provided to convert received content into a first stream and a second stream, to transmit said first stream using a first tone and to transmit said second stream using an orthogonal scheme. A layering scheme is used to transmit the base stream covering a smaller area and an enhanced stream is used to cover a large utilizing orthogonal scheme.

Transmission patterns for pilot symbols transmitted from a mobile station or base station are provided. The patterns may be selected according to a location of the mobile station with respect to one or more antennas are provided. In some aspects, the pattern may be selected based upon the distance between the mobile station and the one or more antennas. In other aspect, the pattern may be based upon whether the mobile station is in handoff.

Techniques for transmitting data using single-carrier frequency division multiple access (SC-FDMA) multiplexing schemes are described. In one aspect, data is sent on sets of adjacent subbands that are offset from one another to achieve frequency diversity. A terminal may be assigned a set of N adjacent subbands that is offset by less than N (e.g., N/2) subbands from another set of N adjacent subbands assigned to another terminal and would then observe interference on only subbands that overlap. In another aspect, a multi-carrier transmission symbol is generated with multi-carrier SC-FDMA. Multiple waveforms carrying modulation symbols in the time domain on multiple sets of subbands are generated. The multiple waveforms are pre-processed (e.g., cyclically delayed by different amounts) to obtain pre-processed waveforms, which are combined (e.g., added) to obtain a composite waveform. A cyclic prefix is appended to the composite waveform to generate the multi-carrier transmission symbol.

Techniques to enhance the performance in a wireless communication system using segments called subbands and using precoding are shown. According to one aspect, the bandwidth for transmission to an access terminal is constrained to a preferred bandwidth which is less than the bandwidth available for transmission to an access terminal and precoding information related to the subcarriers within the constrained bandwidth is provided to a transmitter. The precoding information related to the subcarriers within a constrained bandwidth provides feedback about the forward link channel properties relative to different subbands and may be fed back on a channel associated with the bandwidth.

Pilot symbols transmitted from different sectors of a same base station are multiplied with a same cell specific scrambling code and a first code having low cross correlation and second codes having low cross correlation. The second code is constant over the length of the first code, but may vary for repetitions of the first code.

摘要:
To receive packets with interference cancellation, block transmissions for the packets are received on time-frequency blocks used by these packets. Receiver spatial processing is performed on input symbols to obtain detected symbols. Each packet is demodulated and decoded based on all detected symbols obtained for all block transmissions received for the packet. For each packet that is decoded correctly, the transmission for the packet is terminated, the interference due to the packet is estimated, and the estimated interference is subtracted from the input symbols for all time-frequency blocks used by the packet. Receiver spatial processing is performed on the interference-canceled symbols to obtain new detected symbols for all time-frequency blocks used by all correctly decoded packets. Each packet decoded in error and overlapping at least partially with any correctly decoded packet may be demodulated and decoded based on all detected symbols available for that packet.

To select a rate for a transmitter in a communication system, a receiver obtains a channel response estimate and a received SINR estimate for the transmitter, e.g., based on a pilot received from the transmitter. The receiver computes a hypothesized SINR for the transmitter based on the channel response estimate and the received SINR estimate. The receiver then selects a rate for the transmitter based on (1) the hypothesized SINR and (2) characterized statistics of noise and interference at the receiver for the transmitter, which may be given by a probability density function (PDF) of SINR loss with respect to the hypothesized SINR. A look-up table of rate versus hypothesized SINR may be generated a priori for the PDF of SINR loss. The receiver may then apply the hypothesized SINR for the transmitter to the look-up table, which then provides the rate for the transmitter.

Apparatuses and methodologies are described that enhance performance in a wireless communication system using beamforming transmissions. According to one aspect, the channel quality is monitored. Channel quality indicators can be used to select a scheduling technique, such as space division multiplexing (SDM), multiple-input multiple output (MIMO) transmission and opportunistic beamforming for one or more user devices. In addition, the CQI can be used to determine the appropriate beam assignment or to update the beam pattern.
