    Abstract: Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate synchronizing timing among wireless nodes in a wireless communication network. A tracking wireless node can synchronize to a global positioning system (GPS) signal if available. Alternatively, the tracking wireless node can receive quality metrics related to one or more target nodes. The quality metrics can relate to parameters that can be utilized to evaluate the target node for timing synchronization. Based on the quality metrics, the tracking wireless node can select a target wireless node for timing synchronization. The tracking wireless node can subsequently synchronize timing with the target wireless node. In addition, the tracking wireless node can continually evaluate surrounding wireless nodes to detect whether other wireless nodes have higher quality metrics than the current target wireless nodes and can accordingly resynchronize with nodes having higher metrics.

    Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, and computer program products are disclosed for encoding/decoding a wireless control signal. For encoding, control bits are received and encoded with a first error control code so as to create a first set of encoded bits. The encoded bits are then encoded with a second error con-trol code so as to create a second set of encoded bits, which are modulated as beacon tones and subsequently transmitted. For decoding, beacon tones corresponding to a set of control bits are received and subsequently demodulated so as to ascertain a set of demodulated bits. The demodulated bits are then decoded with a decoder so as to ascertain a set of decoded bits. The de-coded bits are then decoded with a second decoder so as to as-certain a second set of decoded bits, which includes the set of control bits.

    Abstract: AN ACCESS POINT (104, 106, 402, 802, 1360) IS CONFIGURED BASED ON ACQUIRED INFORMATION. AN ACCESS POINT (104, 106, 402, 802, 1360) MAY BE CONFIGURED BASED ON THE CONFIGURATION(S) OF AT LEAST ONE OTHER ACCESS POINT (104, 106, 402, 802, 1360). AN IDENTIFIER TO BE TRANSMITTED BY AN ACCESS POINT MAY BE SELECTED BASED ON THE IDENTIFIER(S) TRANSMITTED BY AT LEAST ONE OTHER ACCESS POINT (104, 106, 402, 802, 1360). AN ACCESS POINT (104, 106, 402, 802, 1360) MAY CONFIGURE ITSELF WITH ASSISTANCE FROM A CONFIGURATION SERVER. FOR EXAMPLE, THE ACCESS POINT (104, 106, 402, 802, 1360) MAY SEND INFORMATION SUCH AS THE LOCATION OF THE ACCESS POINT (104, 106, 402, 802, 1360) TO A CONFIGURATION SERVER AND THE CONFIGURATION SERVER MAY RESPOND WITH A LIST OF NEIGHBORING ACCESS POINTS FOR THAT ACCESS POINT (104, 106, 402, 802, 1360). A CONFIGURATION SERVER MAY PROVIDE CONFIGURATION INFORMATION TO AN ACCESS POINT BASED ON THE LOCATION OF THE ACCESS POINT (104, 106, 402, 802, 1360). A CONFIGURATION SERVER ALSO MAY DIRECT AN ACCESS POINT (104, 106, 402, 802, 1360) TO A DIFFERENT CONFIGURATION SERVER.

    Abstract: Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate providing high reuse for transmitting reference signals, such as positioning reference signals (PRS) and cell- specific reference signals (CRS), to improve hearability thereof for applications such as trilateration and/or the like. In particular, PRSs can be transmitted in designated or selected positioning sub frames. Resource elements within the positioning sub frame can be selected for transmitting the PRSs and can avoid conflict with designated control regions, resource elements used for transmitting cell-specific reference signals, and/or the like. Resource elements for transmitting PRSs can be selected according to a planned or pseudo-random reuse scheme. In addition, a transmit diversity scheme can be applied to the PRSs to minimize impact of introducing the PRSs to legacy devices. Moreover, potions of a subframe not designated for PRS transmission can be utilized for user plane data transmission.

    Abstract: An access point is configured based on acquired information. An access point may be configured based on the configuration(s) of at least one other access point. An identifier to be transmitted by an access point may be selected based on the identifier(s) transmitted by at least one other access point. An access point may configure itself with assistance from a configuration server. For example, the access point may send information such as the location of the access point to a configuration server and the configuration server may respond with a list of neighboring access points for that access point. A configuration server may provide configuration information to an access point based on the location of the access point. A configuration server also may direct an access point to a different configuration server.

    Abstract: Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate assigning resources for an anchor carrier and an additional carrier with a grant message. The grant message communicated with an anchor carrier can include resource information a plurality of carriers. Moreover, the systems and methodologies that facilitate identifying control information for an anchor carrier and/or an additional carrier based upon an operating mode, wherein the operating mode is a legacy mode or an extended mode. Based on the operating mode, particular resources associated with control regions are monitored for control information for respective anchor carrier(s) or additional carrier(s).

    Abstract: Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate defining new control channels in legacy wireless networks. Control data resources for new systems can be defined over resources reserved for general data communications in the legacy wireless network specification. In this regard, legacy devices can still be supported by devices implementing new control data resources, and the new control data resources can avoid substantial interference that is typically exhibited over legacy control and/or reference signal resources by instead using the general data resources. In addition, new system devices can avoid scheduling data communication resources over the new control resources to create a substantially non-interfered global control segment. Control data can be transmitted over the segment using beacon-based technologies, reuse schemes, and/or the like.
