Abstract:
In a wireless, OFDM system, phase noise may be mitigated through the use of an interleaver that is designed to distribute coded block bits across subcarriers of multiple OFDM symbols. Doing so decreases the non-stationary properties of the noise. Such an interleaver may be a rectangular interleaver that maps each block to a different subcarrier to create frequency diversity and to a different OFDM symbol, to create time diversity. One exemplary method of interleaving the symbols is to place a first symbol at row X and column Y of the interleaver. The next symbol is placed in row X+1 and column Y+1. The result of such an interleaving process is a great reduction in the block error rate.
Abstract:
This disclosure describes methods, apparatus, and systems related to a channel estimation field (CEF) for various standards, for example, the 802.11ay standard, for single carrier (SC) MIMO channel estimation. In one embodiment, the CEF can use Golay complementary sequences. In another embodiment, the Golay complementary sequences can be defined similar to Golay complementary sequences definitions that can be found in various legacy standards, for example, the legacy 802.11ad standard. Various embodiments of the disclosure can allow channel estimation in the time domain and/or frequency domain, having small or negligible inter-stream interference. Various embodiments of the disclosure can enable an extendable structure for various M×N MIMO configurations, where M and N are positive integers.
