Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide for allocating spectrum in a wireless communication system that supports simultaneously at least a first mode of operation and a second mode of operation. Logic is arranged for determining a proportion of spectrum required for the wireless communication unit to operate simultaneously in both the first mode of operation and the second mode of operation. Logic for allocating spectrum allocates a temporary guard band between a first portion of spectrum for the first mode of operation and a second portion of spectrum for the second mode of operation for use while the wireless communication unit operates simultaneously in the first mode of operation and second mode of operation.

Abstract: Methods and systems for determining operating bandwidth in a multi-bandwidth communication system are provided. Determining operating bandwidth in a multi-bandwidth communication system includes receiving a signal having a first signal portion at a first, predetermined bandwidth. The signal contains an indication of an operating bandwidth selected from a plurality of bandwidths used for a further signal portion. The indication is recovered from the first signal portion at the predetermined bandwidth. The information is recovered from the further signal portion at the operating bandwidth indicated by the indication.

Abstract: A network access device is described that uses a modified lower layer two (L2) software interface that is enhanced to operate as a proxy for a dynamic upper L2 software interface when the upper L2 software interface has been torn down, i.e., terminated unbeknownst to a subscriber device. The lower L2 software interface may, for example, be extended to incorporate certain features of the upper L2 software interface to detect such a condition. In the absence of the upper L2 software interface, the lower L2 interface may output a simulated termination request on behalf of the upper L2 interface and in accordance with the upper L2 protocol.

Abstract: A coherent or a noncoherent transmission mode is automatically selected for a transmission on the basis of an estimated Doppler frequency shift due to a motion of a mobile terminal. A coherent mode is selected if a pilot signal overhead is not excessive to uniquely characterize a Doppler frequency shift, as at lower carrier frequency times relative velocity products. A noncoherent mode is selected if a pilot signal overhead would be excessive to uniquely characterize a Doppler frequency shift at higher carrier frequency times relative velocity products. Both the coherent and noncoherent modes have respective advantages for their respective carrier frequency time relative velocity regimes.

Abstract translation: 基于由于移动终端的运动引起的估计的多普勒频移，自动选择相干或非相干传输模式用于传输。 如果导频信号开销不过多以唯一地表征多普勒频移，则选择相干模式，如在较低的载波频率乘以相对速度乘积。 如果导频信号开销过大以在较高载波频率下唯一表征多普勒频移乘以相对速度乘积，则选择非相干模式。 相干和非相干模式对于它们各自的载波频率时间相对速度方案具有各自的优点。
