PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system and method for modulation diversity.SOLUTION: A method for interleaving comprises interleaving subcarriers of an interlace in a bit-reversal fashion, and interleaving interlaces in a bit-reversal fashion. The interleaving of subcarriers of an interlace in a bit-reversal fashion includes mapping symbols of a constellation symbol sequence into corresponding subcarriers in a sequential linear fashion according to an assigned slot index using an interlace table.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a technique for multiplexing and transmitting multiple data streams.SOLUTION: 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.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an apparatus capable of seamlessly switching reception between multimedia programs. SOLUTION: In transmitting multimedia programs in a wireless communication system, a video portion for a program to be started at first time is transmitted, further an audio portion of the program to be started at second time delayed from the first time by predetermined time is transmitted, and the video/audio portions are specified so as to be presented together in a receiving entity. The predetermined amount of delay corresponds to the difference of delays between video processing and audio processing in the receiving entity. COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a frame structure and a transmission technique which are capable of providing satisfactory performance for different types of transmissions in a wireless communication system.SOLUTION: A super-frame includes multiple outer frames, each outer frame includes multiple frames, and each frame includes multiple time slots. The time slots are allocated to a downlink and an uplink and to different radio technologies (e.g., W-CDMA(R) and OFDM) on the basis of loading. At least one time slot in at least one frame of each outer frame in the super-frame is allocated to each physical channel. The OFDM and the W-CDMA are generated for each downlink OFDM slot and for each downlink W-CDMA slot, respectively, and multiplexed. A modulated signal is generated for the multiplexed W-CDMA and OFDM waveforms, and transmitted on the downlink.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a frame structure and a transmission technique for a wireless communication system. SOLUTION: In a single frame structure 200, a superframe includes a plurality of outer frames, each of the outer frames includes a plurality of frames, and each of the frames includes a plurality of time slots. The time slots in each superframe are allocated to downlink and uplink and to different wireless techniques (for example, W-CDMA and OFDM) based on loading. Each physical channel is allocated to time slots in the frames of each outer frame in the superframe. An OFDM waveform is generated for an OFDM slot of each downlink, a W-CDMA waveform is generated for a W-CDMA slot of each downlink, and the waveforms are multiplexed on each slot. A modulation signal is generated for the multiplexed W-CDMA and OFDM waveform and transmitted on the downlink. COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a wireless communication system with a configurable cyclic prefix length. SOLUTION: To transmit data in a manner to mitigate the deleterious effects of delay spread, the expected coverage areas for multiple transmissions to be sent in multiple time slots are initially determined. Cyclic prefix lengths for these transmissions are selected based on the expected coverage areas. The cyclic prefix length for each transmission may be selected from among a set of allowed cyclic prefix lengths on the basis of the expected coverage area for that transmission, the pilot staggering used for the transmission, and so on. For example, a shorter cyclic prefix length may be selected for each local transmission, and a longer cyclic prefix length may be selected for each wide-area transmission. The selected cyclic prefix lengths may be signaled to the terminals. COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To broadcast different types of transmission having different tiers of coverage in a wireless broadcast network. SOLUTION: Each base station processes data for a wide area transmission in accordance with a first mode (or coding scheme and modulation scheme) to generate data symbols for the wide area transmission and processes data for a local transmission in accordance with a second mode for the local transmission. The first and second modes are based on the coverage of for wide-area and local transmissions, respectively. The base station also generates pilots and overhead information for local and wide area transmissions. The data, pilots, and overhead information for local and wide area transmissions are multiplexed onto their transmission spans, which may be different sets of frequency subbands, different time segments, or different groups of subbands in different time segments. More than two different types of transmission may also be multiplexed and broadcast. COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To multiplex multiple data streams in a multi-carrier communication system. SOLUTION: Disoverlapped interlaces are formed with U usable subbands. Each interlace is a different set of S subbands, and the subbands for each interlace are interlaced with the subbands for each of the other interlaces. M slots may be defined for each symbol period and assigned slot indices 1 through M. The slot indices may be mapped to interlaces such that (1) frequency diversity is achieved for each slot index and (2) the interlaces used for pilot transmission have varying distances to the interlaces used for each slot index. Each data stream may be processed as data packets of a fixed size, and different numbers of slots may be used depending on the coding and modulation scheme used for the data packet.

Abstract:
Frame structures and transmission techniques for a wireless communication system are described. In one frame structure, a super-frame includes multiple outer- frames, and each outer-frame includes multiple frames, and each frame includes multiple time slots. The time slots in each super-frame are allocated for downlink and uplink and for different radio technologies (e.g., W-CDMA and OFDM) based on loading. Each physical channel is allocated at least one time slot in at least one frame of each outer-frame in the super-frame. An OFDM waveform is generated for each downlink OFDM slot and multiplexed onto the slot. A W-CDMA waveform is generated for each downlink W-CDMA slot and multiplexed onto the slot. A modulated signal is generated for the multiplexed W-CDMA and OFDM waveforms and transmitted on the downlink. Each physical channel is transmitted in bursts. The slot allocation and coding and modulation for each physical channel can change for each super-frame.
