Abstract: Various methods and systems are provided for allocating time-frequency resources for downlink (DL) and uplink (UL) communications between base stations and mobile stations. Different forms of resource allocation messages including combinations of bitmaps and bitfields provide additional information about the resources and/or how they are assigned. In some implementations the resource allocation messages enable reduced overhead, which may ultimately improve transmission rates and/or the quality of transmissions.

Abstract: Mechanisms for feedback of channel quality information (CQI) in a multi-carrier environment are disclosed. A mobile station may include one or more antennas, and a transceiver coupled to the one or more antennas. The transceiver may be configured to receive (e.g., simultaneously) signals on a plurality of carriers. Each of the carriers may include synchronization channels. The transceiver may be further configured to, for each of one or more of the carriers: generate channel quality information (CQI) for the carrier based on pilot signals in the carrier; transmit the CQI for the carrier. The one or more carriers for which CQI is generated and transmitted may be determined by configuration information received from a base station.

Abstract: A wireless communication access path exists between an ingress station and an egress station. A logical communication tunnel is established between the ingress and egress stations directly or through any number of intermediate relay stations to handle session flows of PDUs. As PDUs arrive, the ingress station may determine and add information bearing on an identified QoS associated with the PDU to the PDUs before they are delivered to the downstream egress station(s) or intermediate relay station(s). The information may be used by the downstream stations to schedule the PDUs for further delivery. The information may also be used by the egress station to schedule the PDUs for delivery.

Abstract: In some embodiments of the invention, OFDM symbols are transmitted as a plurality of clusters. A cluster includes a plurality of OFDM sub-carriers in frequency, over a plurality of OFDM symbol durations in time. Each cluster includes data as well as pilot information as a reference signal for channel estimation. In some embodiments, a plurality of clusters collectively occupy the available sub-carrier set in the frequency domain that is used for transmission. In some embodiments of the invention data and/or pilots are spread within each cluster using code division multiplexing (CDM). In some embodiments pilots and data are separated by distributing data on a particular number of the plurality of OFDM symbol durations and pilots on a remainder of the OFDM symbol durations. CDM spreading can be performed in time and/or frequency directions.
Abstract translation: 在本发明的一些实施例中，OFDM符号作为多个簇发送。 在多个OFDM符号持续时间内，群集包括频率上的多个OFDM子载波。 每个簇包括数据以及作为信道估计的参考信号的导频信息。 在一些实施例中，多个集群共同地占用用于传输的频域中的可用子载波集合。 在本发明的一些实施例中，使用码分多路复用（CDM）在每个簇内扩展数据和/或导频。 在一些实施例中，通过在OFDM码元持续时间的其余部分上分配关于多个OFDM符号持续时间的特定数目和导频上的数据来分离导频和数据。 可以在时间和/或频率方向上执行CDM扩展。
