A Channel Quality Indicator table for wireless multiple input multiple output (MIMO) networks is disclosed. In one embodiment, a method of generating a table for channel quality indicator (CQI) for an open loop MIMO transmission includes calculating performance of a link between a transmitter and a user end unit for each MIMO transmission mode over a range of average signal-to-noise ratio, and selecting the MIMO transmission mode that maximizes performance for each subset of the range of average signal-to-noise ratio. The method further includes storing the selected MIMO transmission mode and the corresponding subset of the range of average signal-to-noise ratio in a CQI table, the CQI table being stored in an user end unit and a base transceiver station of the open loop MIMO network.

Methods and apparatus for synchronizing operational state during hybrid network operation. In one embodiment, the various access technologies that makeup the hybrid network not fully synchronized. Thus, a wireless device operating in a mixed mode must be capable of managing synchronization across multiple access technologies. The wireless device is configured to estimate an expected “tune-away” period when disengaging with a one access technology to address events (for example, link maintenance, calls, data, and the like) or perform monitoring on a second access technology. The estimate is then used by the device to adjust its operational parameters on the technology from which it is tuning away. This ensures smooth switching away from and back to the various network technologies.

Methods and apparatus are provided for improved efficiency in an extended multiple antenna communication system. A multiplier is employed on the number of points in the FFT that is greater than the multiplier on the frequency (bandwidth) of the legacy 802.11 a/g system. In one exemplary implementation, a 256 point FFT is employed in 40 MHz (with a 4N multiplier on the number of possible tones and a 2N multiplier on the frequency). While the efficiency for the OFDM symbol is improved, additional overhead is required in the preamble training (the length of the preamble is proportional to the number of tones in the FFT). Thus, a number of preamble constructs are provided that couple the improved efficiency with shorter preambles. In addition, an improved tone design provides additional efficiency gains.

Methods and apparatus are provided for communicating data in a multiple antenna communication system having N transmit antennas. According to one aspect of the invention, a header format includes a legacy preamble having at least one legacy long training field and an extended portion having at least N additional long training fields on each of the N transmit antennas. The N additional long training fields may be tone interleaved across the N transmit antennas and are used for MIMO channel estimation. The extended portion may include a short training field for power estimation. The short training field may be tone interleaved across the N transmit antennas and have an extended duration to support beam steering.

Methods and apparatus are provided for communicating pseudo-orthogonal pilot tones in a multiple antenna communication system. Data is transmitted in a multiple antenna communication system having N transmit antennas by generating a number of pilot tones for each of the N transmit antennas, wherein the pilot tones for each of the N transmit antennas are pseudo-orthogonal with each other; and transmitting the data on each of the N transmit antennas. The pilot tones are generally embedded in the data. Data is received in a multiple antenna communication system having N transmit antennas by receiving the data on each of the N transmit antennas, wherein the data includes a number of pilot tones for each of the N transmit antennas, wherein the pilot tones for each of the N transmit antennas are pseudo-orthogonal with each other. The pilot tones can be orthogonal in the frequency domain, time domain, spatial domain, or all of them.
