Abstract:
A method and system for link adaptation between a wireless multi-carrier access point (102) and a wireless multi-carrier communication device (104) is described. The wireless multi-carrier access point obtains a set of available LEP methods from the wireless multi-carrier communication device. The wireless multi-carrier access point selects an LEP method from the set of available LEP methods, based on at least one link parameter. The wireless multi-carrier access point then communicates the LEP method selected, to the wireless multi-carrier communication device. The selected LEP method is used during the transmission of information between the wireless multi-carrier access point and the wireless multi-carrier communication device.
Abstract:
A method for providing a low-feedback scheme for link-quality reporting based on the EESM technique is provided herein. During operation, a node will analyze the current channel conditions and determine a non-linear approximation of the carrier to interference plus noise ratio (CINR). The non-linear approximation is sent to a communication unit as a channel-selectivity report, causing the communication unit to utilize the report to assist with modulation and coding selection.

Abstract:
A structured parity-check matrix H is proposed, wherein H is an expansion of a base matrix Hb and wherein Hb comprises a section Hb1 and a section Hb2, and wherein Hb2 comprises a first part comprising a column hb having an odd weight greater than 2, and a second part comprising matrix elements for row i, column j equal to 1 for i=j, 1 for i=j+1, and 0 elsewhere. The expansion of the base matrix Hb uses identical submatrices for 1s in each column of the second part H′b2, and the expansion uses paired submatrices for an even number of 1s in hb.
Abstract:
In a multi-carrier communication system employing adaptive modulation and coding, a receiver feeds back channel quality information for a “binned” group of subcarriers instead of sending an individual quality report for each subcarrier. A transmitter will utilize the channel quality information for the bin to determine a set of γeff values corresponding to a set of modulation and coding scheme candidates, where γeff is an effective SNR that would yield a same FER in an AWGN channel. The transmitter utilizes the set of γeff values to aid in determining a modulation and coding scheme, and determine a single modulation and coding scheme for all subcarriers within the channel.

Abstract:
A method and apparatus for interleaving within a communication system is provided herein. More particularly parameters for a convolutional turbo code interleaver are provided, and interleaving takes place utilizing the new parameters. The new parameters generate interleavers that have the correct turbo code behaviors of improving performance with increasing block size and an error floor well below a block error rate of 10−4. Furthermore, the parameters have no implementation impact. Interleaving in accordance with the preferred embodiment of the present invention can achieve a block error rate of 10−4 at a signal-to-noise ratio that is at least 0.5 dB, and in some cases up to 1.3 dB, smaller than that which can be achieved with the code using the existing parameters.
