Abstract:
An approach is provided for channel interleaving. A plurality of symbols are received and partitioned into a plurality of subblocks. The subblocks form a plurality of subsequences. A first output sequence is generated from the subsequences. The subsequences of the first output sequence is selected and punctured to generate a second output sequence, and interleaving the second output sequence.
Abstract:
An approach is provided for acknowledgement signaling in multi-carrier system. A plurality of acknowledgement signals are received corresponding to a plurality of transmission carriers. The transmission carriers are associated with a first direction of transmission. Some of the acknowledgement signals are allocated to a first transmitter branch, and remaining ones of the acknowledgement signals are allocated to a second transmitter branch. The plurality of acknowledgement signals are transmitted over a single transmission carrier associated with a second direction of transmission.

Abstract:
Various techniques are disclosed to improve redundancy in multi-carrier wireless systems. An example technique is provided that may include commonly encoding (302) a block of data, modulating (312) the encoded block of data across a plurality of carriers, and transmitting via a wireless link the encoded block of data including the plurality of carriers. The modulating may, for example, include modulating a first portion of the encoded block onto a first carrier and modulating a second portion of the encoded block onto a second carrier, wherein encoded data on the first carrier for the block of data may be used for error detection and/or error correction of encoded data on the second carrier for the block of data. Error detection and correction for the encoded block may be performed across the plurality of carriers, which may provide frequency diversity for the block of data.
Abstract:
An approach is provided for addressing in a multiple carrier communication system. In one embodiment, a group index is assigned to a group of terminals of a communication network. The group index permits sharing of addressing indices supported by the communication network for transmission of data to the group of terminals. In another embodiment, a plurality of terminals is classified using preamble indices corresponding to the terminals into one or more classes. A multi-user packet, which utilizes the preamble indices to activate only a class of the terminals for processing the multi-user packet, is generated.

Abstract:
Various embodiments are disclosed relating to techniques to transmit data rate control signals for multicarrier wireless systems. According to an example embodiment, a wireless apparatus (200 or 500) may be adapted to transmit at least a first data rate control (DRC) value via an In-phase (I) channel and at least a second DRC value via a Quadrature-phase (Q) channel. The first DRC value may be associated with a first forward link carrier and the second DRC value may be associated with a second forward link carrier. In this manner, DRC values may be transmitted over both the I and Q channels, for example.
