PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system and method for providing modulation diversity. SOLUTION: A bit interleaving block 104 outputs interleaved bits, which are input into a constellation symbol mapping block 106. The constellation symbol mapping block 106 outputs constellation symbol mapped bits, which are input into a constellation symbol interleaving block 108. The constellation symbol interleaving block 108 outputs constellation symbol interleaved bits into a channelization block 110. The channelization block 110 interlaces the constellation symbol interleaved bits and outputs OFDM symbols 114. COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a novel and improved method and apparatus for processing data for transmission in a wireless communication system using selective channel inversion. SOLUTION: The method includes: coding data based on a common coding and modulation scheme to provide modulation symbols; and pre-weighting the modulation symbols for each selected channel based on the channel's characteristics. The pre-weighting may be achieved by "inverting" the selected channels so that the received SNRs are approximately similar for all selected channels. With selective channel inversion, only channels having SNRs above a particular threshold are selected, "bad" channels are not used, and the total available transmit power is distributed across only "good" channels.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system and method for modulation diversity. SOLUTION: The system and method for modulation diversity uses interleaving. Code bits are placed into groups and are then shuffled within each group. An interleaver uses a bit-interleaver solely to achieve m-ary modulation diversity and uses a two-dimension interleaved interlace table and a run-time slot-to-interlace mapping to achieve frequency diversity which provides better interleaving performance without the need for explicit symbol interleaving.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for performing local transmission and wide area transmission in a wireless broadcast communication network. SOLUTION: In order to perform broadcast communications of transmission of different type having a hierarchy with different communication-possible range in a wireless broadcast communication network, each base station processes data for the wide area transmission according to a first mode (or coding scheme and modulation scheme) (S812), and processes data for the local transmission according to a second mode (S814). Based on each desired communication-possible range for the wide area transmission and the local transmission, each of the first mode and the second mode is selected. Each base station performs the broadcast communication on the local transmission and the wide area transmission as well as pilots related to them, based on different characteristics for a multi-frequency network and a single network.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an effective coding and modulation scheme capable of processing data before transmission on a channel. SOLUTION: Data are coded on the basis of a common coding and modulation scheme to provide modulation symbols and the modulation symbols for each selected channel are pre-weighted on the basis of channel's characteristics. The pre-weighting may be achieved by "inverting" the selected channels so that the received SNRs are approximately similar for all selected channels. With selective channel inversion, only channels having SNRs at or above a particular threshold are selected, "bad" channels are not used, and the total available transmit power is distributed across only "good" channels. Improved performance is achieved due to the combined benefits of using only the Ns best channels and matching the received SNR of each selected channel to the SNR required by the selected coding and modulation scheme.

Abstract:
Techniques for multiplexing and transmitting multiple data streams are described. Transmission of the multiple data streams occurs in "super-frames". Each super-frame has a predetermined time duration and is further divided into multiple (e.g., four) frames. Each data block for each data stream is outer encoded to generate a corresponding code block. Each code block is partitioned into multiple subblocks, and each data packet in each code block is inner encoded and modulated to generate modulation symbols for the packet. The multiple subblocks for each code block are transmitted in the multiple frames of the same super-frame, one subblock per frame. Each data stream is allocated a number of transmission units in each super-frame and is assigned specific transmission units to achieve efficient packing. A wireless device can select and receive individual data streams.

Abstract:
Apparatus for a transmitter and a receiver which enhance the performance of a system coherent demodulation by utilizing non-pilot sub-channels to enhance the accuracy of estimates of amplitude and phase noise inherent in the transmission channel is described. This enhancement is accomplished by utilizing the corrected received data on a fundamental channel to enhance a pilot channel estimate, which is subsequently utilized by a dot product module in demodulating a supplementary data channel.
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:
Systems and methods are provided for transmitting OFDM information via IFFT up-sampling components that transmit data at a higher sampling rate than conventional systems to simplify filter requirements and mitigate leakage between symbols. In one embodiment, an NL point IFFT is performed on a zero inserted set of frequency domain symbols. In another embodiment, the NL point IFFT is further optimized by exploiting the fact that (N−1) L of the frequency domain symbols are zero. This enables an embodiment that consists of a pre-processor that multiplies the input samples by complex phase factors, followed by L point IFFTs.
