摘要:
Systems and methods are described that facilitate improving paging signal strength at or near sector perimeters in a wireless network region by transmitted identical paging waveforms simultaneously from all sectors in the region and permitting over-the-air signal aggregation to combine signal energy near sector perimeters. Waveforms can be modulated using an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing technique and can be simultaneously transmitted according to predefined transmission resources over a multi-sector broadcast paging channel reserved for such identical waveforms. Cyclic prefix can be added to the identical waveforms to mitigate problems associated with delay spread and/or time-of-arrival differences at or near sector perimeters.
摘要:
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.

Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate selecting and/or reselecting one or more access points, related cells, or carriers based at least in part on calculating an energy efficiency related to the access points. In particular, the energy efficiency can be based at least in part on an estimated pathloss and/or a level of interference related to communicating with the access points. Moreover, load parameters related to the access point can be received and evaluated in selecting and/or reselecting the access point. Thus, access points can be selected or reselected based on parameters other than forward link transmit power. In addition, pathloss and/or interference levels can be weighed based on access point type to prevent macrocell overloading.

Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate dynamically supplementing or decrementing resource assignments to mobile devices in a wireless network environment without requiring transmission of replacement assignments. Supplemental assignments can be generated based on information related to mobile device need and resource availability. Moreover, resource assignments can be persisted for a mobile device.
摘要:
Each base station transmits a TDM pilot 1 having multiple instances of a pilot-1 sequence generated with a PN1 sequence and a TDM pilot 2 having at least one instance of a pilot-2 sequence generated with a PN2 sequence. Each base station is assigned a specific PN2 sequence that uniquely identifies that base station. A terminal uses TDM pilot 1 to detect for the presence of a signal and uses TDM pilot 2 to identify base stations and obtain accurate timing. For signal detection, the terminal performs delayed correlation on received samples and determines whether a signal is present. If a signal is detected, the terminal performs direct correlation on the received samples with PN1 sequences for K1 different time offsets and identifies K2 strongest TDM pilot 1 instances. For time synchronization, the terminal performs direct correlation on the received samples with PN2 sequences to detect for TDM pilot 2.
摘要:
Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate serving sector directed transmit power control in a wireless communication environment. Under certain conditions, an access point can have better data with which to determine appropriate power levels than an individual terminal. Accordingly, an access point can transmit power control information to one or more terminals supported by the access point overriding normal power determination procedures. In particular, power control information can be included within an assignment message that designates resources (e.g., frequency, time) assigned to a terminal. Power control information can be based upon SNR, quality of service requirements, interference information, any other relevant information or any combination thereof.
摘要:
Beacon symbols are sent periodically from the base stations in an OFDM system. The entire power of the base station, or a large portion of it is concentrated in these symbols, thus they are very easily recognized by the mobile stations. The frequencies upon which these symbols are transmitted and the time at which they are transmitted communicates information such as the base station/sector identity and the preferred carrier of the given base station/sector to the mobile station. In order to avoid collision between the beacon symbols of different base stations and sectors, the beacon symbols from different base stations/sectors are transmitted at different symbols times and on different subcarriers.

Techniques for utilizing a capacity-based effective signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) to improve wireless communication are described herein. In an embodiment, a mobile terminal can determine the effective SNR from a forward link channel using pilot/data symbols. The mobile terminal can convey the effective SNR to a base station. In order to minimize transmission overhead, the mobile terminal can quantize the effective SNR prior to transmitting it to the base station. In another embodiment, the base station can determine the effective SNR from a reverse link. The base station can utilize the effective SNR to facilitate scheduling transmissions from the mobile terminal, transmitting power control commands to the mobile terminal, and determining a supporting data rate for the mobile terminal, for example. Suitable SNRs include constrained, unconstrained, average, and/or approximated effective SNRs. In addition, various filters, such as an averaging filter, can be utilized to further process the effective SNR.
摘要:
A channel estimation system comprises a filtering component that selectively scales a plurality of carriers as a function of location of the plurality of carriers within a frequency band, wherein the plurality of carriers comprises at least one data carrier and at least one pilot carrier. A component thereafter extrapolates an observation from the at least one pilot carrier, wherein a channel is estimated as a function of the extrapolated observation. The scaling of the carriers facilitates reducing a flooring effect associated with channel estimation. The filtering component can be employed at a transmitter and/or at a receiver, and can be activated and/or deactivated as a function of a sensed data packet type.
摘要:
Techniques for mitigating interference in a wireless communication system are described. In an aspect, a base station may periodically broadcast a load indication to convey information such as whether or not to use interference mitigation, which interference mitigation scheme to use, resources to apply interference mitigation, duration of interference mitigation, etc. Terminals may receive the load indication and perform interference mitigation as indicated by the load indication. In one design, a terminal may receive a load indication from a base station that the terminal desires to access. The terminal may determine whether to obtain reserved resources having reduced interference based on the load indication. In another design, a terminal may receive a load indication from a neighbor base station. The terminal may determine whether to reduce its transmit power or to request for resources prior to transmission based on the load indication.
