Abstract:
A subscriber (1001) provides a cumulative adjustment value in memory. Upon transmission of the inbound signal to a base station (102), the subscriber (1001) receives a relative adjustment value. The base station (102) calculates the relative adjustment value based on receipt of the inbound signal against a time window. The subscriber (1001) sums the adjustment value with the cumulative adjustment value to create a new cumulative adjustment value. The subscriber (1001) stores the new cumulative adjustment value in memory, and a subsequent inbound signal is transmitted using the new cumulative adjustment value. Alternatively, the subscriber (1001) obtains a priori information as to when a base station (102) transmits a burst. Upon receipt of the burst, the subscriber (1001) calculates a time delay between when the burst was transmitted and when the burst was received. The subscriber (1001) stores the time delay, and advances the transmission timing by the time delay.
Abstract:
A transmitting unit combines a slot identifier (SI) and a block identifier (BI) in each header that is transmitted with the data to allow a receiving unit to associate previously received data blocks with retransmissions, or retries, of the same respective data blocks in order to perform bit error detection in accordance with a hybrid or selective ARQ protocol. The receiving unit uses the SI and BI contained in the MHBKs to determine a correspondence between a retried data and a previously transmitted data block.
Abstract:
First incoming data comprising at least one OFDM symbol is received (302). A plurality of timing relationships is determined and each of the plurality of timing relationships relates to an alignment window of a fast Fourier transform (FFT) (304). Each of the plurality of timing relationships is applied to the first incoming data (306) and a plurality of achievable interference metrics associated with the first incoming data is responsively determined (308). Each of the plurality of achievable interference metrics is associated with a selected one of the plurality of timing relationships. The preferred interference metric is chosen from amongst the plurality of achievable interference metrics.
Abstract:
A method for the selection of forward error correction (FEC)/ constellation pairings (800) for digital transmitted segments based on learning radio link adaptation (RLA) including formatting a packet transmission having a predetermined number of information bits (801). The packet is then split into a plurality of segments (803) where an RLA is used (805) to determine the optimum format of the packet. The plurality of segments is then sent to a channel encoder for FEC encoding and symbol mapping (807) at a rate selected by the RLA. The segments are then formatted into packet blocks (809) and transmitted in blocks that form a time slot at a constant symbol rate.
