Abstract:
A method and system of wireless communication is provided which involves inputting information bits, wherein certain bits have higher importance level than other bits, and applying unequal protection to the bits at different importance levels. As such, important bits are provided with more protection for transmission and error recovery. Applying unequal protection involves using skewed constellations such that more important bits are provided with more error recovery protection.

Abstract:
A wireless communication system for transmitting uncompressed video pixels from a transmitter to a receiver over a wireless channel is provided. The transmitter includes an interleaver that interleaves the video pixels into interleaved pixels, and an encoder that convolutionally encodes the interleaved pixels at the transmitter before transmission to the receiver. The receiver includes a decoder that decodes the encoded pixels, and a deinterleaver that deinterleaves the decoded pixels. When the video pixels include pixel errors, such interleaving and deinterleaving reduces pixel error clustering and improves video quality.

The symbol interleaver output is connected to the bit reversal (or quarternary-digit reversal) module input. The tone interleaver is configured to rearrange the input symbol sequence such that the symbol sequence input to the tone interleaver input is the same as the symbol sequence input to the butterfly operator input.
Abstract:
A method and system for sounding packet exchange in wireless communication involves generating a training request (TRQ) specifying a number of long training fields (LTFs), and transmitting a TRQ from an initiator (transmit station) having multiple antennas to a responder (receive station) over a wireless channel, wherein the TRQ specifies the number of LTFs based on the number of initiator antennas. The responder then transmits a sounding packet to the initiator, wherein the sounding packet includes multiple LTFs corresponding to the number of LTFs specified in the TRQ. Based on the sounding packet, the initiator transmits a beamforming transmission to the responder to enable wireless data communication therebetween.
