    Abstract: To allow a receiving entity to derive a longer channel estimate while limiting overhead, a transmitting entity transmits a pilot on different groups of subbands in different time intervals. N subbands in the system are arranged into M non-overlapping groups. Each group includes subbands that are uniformly distributed across the N subbands. The transmitting entity transmits the pilot on a different subband group in each time interval, and selects all M subband groups in M time intervals based on a pilot staggering pattern. The receiving entity derives (1) an initial impulse response estimate with P channel taps based on the pilot received on one subband group and (2) two longer impulse response estimates with different lengths used for data detection and time tracking. Each longer impulse response estimate may be derived by filtering initial impulse response estimates for a sufficient number of subband groups using a time-domain filter.

    Abstract: The disclosure is directed to a mobile communication device that determines when a performance disruption indicates a loss of synchronization with a broadcast signal and, in response, initiates reacquisition of the signal. Reacquisition techniques may include identifying and decoding only select portions of header information in the broadcast signal. Reacquisition may also be initiated in response to one or more deterministic triggers and during a test mode of operation.

    Abstract: A method for positioning a collection window for a Fourier transform function is disclosed. A first orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbol and a second OFDM symbol are received. The first OFDM symbol comprises a plurality of frequency division multiplexed (FDM) symbols. The first OFDM symbol is characterized by at least two of the following: a delay spread, a first arriving path (FAP), or a last arriving path (LAP). A channel location is estimated from a channel impulse response. A point relative to the channel location is selected. A beginning of the collection window is positioned for the second OFDM symbol at the selected point. Alternatively, a point is selected at a first location relative to the channel location using a first algorithm if a delay spread is less than a predetermined length. The selected point is chosen at a second location relative to the channel location using a second algorithm if the delay spread is greater than the predetermined length.

    Abstract: Se describen sistemas y metodologías que facilitan el monitoreo de canales RF en un ambiente de comunicación inalámbrico para determinar si uno o más canales comprenden una señal sólo delantera (FLO). Un receptor puede recibir un primer canal RF con la señal FLO y puede monitorear otros canales RE' para las señales FLO. Una vez que se determina que el canal RF monitoreado comprende la señal FLO, el receptor "puede conmutar entre el primer canal RF y el canal RF monitoreado. La detección de señal FLO puede realizarse usando uno o más de un protocolo de detección de energía de canal de identificación de área ancha y un protocolo de detección de error •que decodifica el símbolo de información suplementaria de área ancha.
