Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and apparatus for channel estimation in a system employing differing transmission protocols as broadcast/multicast and unicast protocols.SOLUTION: The number of pilot tones used for a broadcast transmission is greater than the number of pilot tones used for a unicast transmission. The channel estimation may be significantly degraded when a symbol from a broadcast transmission slot is adjacent to a symbol from a unicast transmission slot. Therefore, it is determined whether a first time slot of one transmission protocol (multicast slot) is adjacent to a second time slot of another transmission protocol (unicast slot). The pilot power and/or the number of the pilot sub-carriers are/is increased for the edge symbol of the multicast slot for purposes of channel estimation using the edge symbol.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and apparatus for channel estimation in a system employing different transmission protocols such as a broadcast/multicast protocol and a unicast protocol.SOLUTION: When pilots of adjacent slots are used for channel estimation, quality of channel estimation deteriorates significantly. To solve the problem, it is determined whether a first time slot (multicast slot) of one transmission protocol is adjacent to a second time slot (unicast slot) of another transmission protocol (510); a symbol of an edge slot is determined (520); the pilot power and/or the number of pilot sub-carriers is increased (530); and channel estimation is performed using the edge symbol (540).

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide systems and methods that facilitate monitoring RF channels in a wireless communication environment to determine whether one or more channels comprise a forward-link-only (FLO) signal.SOLUTION: A receiver can receive a first RF channel with an FLO signal and monitor other RF channels for FLO signals. Upon a determination that a monitored RF channel comprises the FLO signal, the receiver can switch between the first RF channel and the monitored RF channel. FLO signal detection can be performed using one or more of a wide-area identification display channel an energy detection protocol and a wide-area overhead information symbol decoding error detection protocol.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a technique for transmitting variable transmission in a wireless communication system. SOLUTION: Physical channels to be sent in a super-frame are identified and allocated to time slots in the super-frame. The coding and modulation for each physical channel are selected based on its capacity. The data for each physical channel is selectively encoded based on an outer code rate, e.g., for a Reed-Solomon code, and further encoded based on an inner code rate, e.g., for a Turbo code. The encoded data for each physical channel is mapped to modulation symbols based on a selected modulation scheme. The modulation symbols for each physical channel are further processed (e.g., OFDM modulated) and multiplexed onto the time slots allocated to the physical channel. COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To allow a receiving entity to derive a longer channel estimate while limiting overhead. SOLUTION: A transmitting entity transmits a pilot on different groups of subbands at different time intervals. N subbands in a system are arranged into M non-overlapping groups. The transmitting entity transmits the pilot on a different subband group in each time interval, and selects all M subband groups at M time intervals based on a pilot staggering pattern. A receiving entity derives an initial impulse response estimate with P channel taps based on the pilot received on one subband group and two longer impulse response estimates with different lengths used for data detection and time tracking.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method of estimating a channel for an OFDM communication system with inactive subbands. SOLUTION: For channel estimation in a spectrally shaped wireless communication system, an initial frequency response estimate is obtained for a first set of P uniformly spaced subbands (1) based on pilot symbols received on a second set of subbands used for pilot transmission and (2) using extrapolation and/or interpolation. In this case, P is a power of two. A final frequency response estimate for N total subbands is derived by (1) setting low quality taps for the channel impulse response estimate to zero, (2) zero-padding the channel impulse response estimate to length N, and (3) performing an N-point FFT on the zero-padded channel impulse response estimate.

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 (S813). 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. In the same way, each base station multiplexes the data for the local transmission with the data for the wide area transmission without overlapping partially, and carries out broadcast communication for the multiplexed data.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To allow a receiving entity to derive a longer channel estimate while limiting overhead in an OFDM system. SOLUTION: A pilot is transmitted on different groups of subbands at different time intervals. N subbands transmit pilots uniformly in M non-overlapping groups and on a different subband group in each time interval, and select all M subband groups at M time intervals. A receiving entity derives an initial impulse response estimate with P channel taps on the basis of the pilot received on one subband group and 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. COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT
