PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide techniques of efficiently performing signal acquisition in a wireless communication system.SOLUTION: Each base station transmits a TDM pilot 1 generated with a PN1 sequence and a TDM pilot 2 generated with a PN2 sequence. Each base station is assigned a specific PN2 sequence that uniquely identifies that base station. A terminal uses the TDM pilot 1 to detect the presence of a signal and uses the TDM pilot 2 to identify base stations and obtain accurate timing. For signal detection, the terminal performs delayed correlation on received samples and determines whether a signal is present. If a signal is detected, the terminal performs direct correlation on the received samples with the PN1 sequences for K1 different time offsets and identifies K2 strongest TDM pilot 1 instances. For time synchronization, the terminal performs direct correlation on the received samples with the PN2 sequences to detect the TDM pilot 2.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide techniques for mitigating interference in a wireless communication system.SOLUTION: Pertinent transmission parameters for a served UE may be sent to at least one interfered UE to support interference mitigation. In one design, information for at least one transmission parameter for a data transmission sent by a first cell to a first UE may be transmitted to at least one UE served by a second cell to enable at least one UE to perform interference mitigation for the data transmission sent by the first cell to the first UE. The information may be transmitted by either the first cell or the second cell.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method that enables management of wireless communications in a heterogeneous wireless access point (AP) environment.SOLUTION: System data of an over-the-air message can be configured to include information identifying a distinct type of transmitting base station. In some aspects, the information can include an access type of the base station and/or a sector ID for distinguishing the base station among large numbers of other base stations. According to other aspects, system data transmitted on the wireless signal can include wireless channel resources designated for a particular type of base station, or blanked by the transmitting base station, to facilitate interference reduction on such resources.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide systems and methodologies that facilitate defining new control channels in legacy wireless networks.SOLUTION: Control data resources for new systems are defined in the legacy wireless network specification. Legacy devices are still supported after new control data resources are implemented. The new control data resources are reserved over the general data resources to avoid the interference over legacy control and reference signal resources (S802). In addition, new system devices create a substantially non-interfered global control segment not including data communication resources over new control resources (S804). Control data are transmitted over the segment using beacon-based technologies, reuse schemes, and/or the like (S806).
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a channel estimation method which reduces estimation error even in the edge of a given subband.SOLUTION: Pilot signals are received (504) within a given subband. A determination is made as to whether a subcarrier of interest is near the edge of a subband. If the given carrier is near the edge of a subband, pilot signals received in a neighboring subband are utilized (508). The pilot signals of the entire neighboring subband or a predetermined portion of the neighboring subband are utilized to estimate the channel response (512). If the assigned subcarrier is not near the edge of a subband, neighboring pilots need not be considered and the channel response is estimated (512) without the use of pilot signals in neighboring subbands.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To facilitate management of wireless communications in a large-scale heterogeneous wireless access point (AP) environment.SOLUTION: A preamble of a wireless signal (or, e.g., other data of the wireless signal where suitable) can be transmitted with low resource re-use (or low re-use), referred to as a low re-use preamble (or low re-use data transmission). By way of example, system data of an over-the-air message can be configured to include information identifying a distinct type of transmitting base station. In some aspects, the information can include an access type of the base station and/or a sector ID for distinguishing the base station among large numbers of other base stations. According to other aspects, the information can include wireless channel resources designated for a particular type of base station, or blanked by the transmitting base station, to facilitate interference reduction on such resources.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide techniques for mitigating pilot pollution in a wireless network.SOLUTION: A technique for mitigating pilot pollution includes determining whether to perform pilot cancellation at a terminal. If it is determined that the pilot cancellation is to be performed, the technique further includes: canceling a common pilot from a neighbor cell at the terminal; determining received signal quality of a serving cell at the terminal after canceling the common pilot; determining channel quality indicator (CQI) information on the basis of the received signal quality, and sending the CQI information to the serving cell.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide dynamic resource allocation systems, apparatus, and methods for selectively improving the ability of a receiver to determine a channel estimate in an OFDMA system.SOLUTION: A wireless communication system 100 can use a common pilot channel configuration to aid channel estimation in receivers in communication with the system. A receiver may be unable to demodulate received data due to an inaccurate channel estimate. The receiver can communicate to a transmitter in the system a request for additional channel estimation resources. The wireless communication system can provide additional channel estimation resources by inserting dedicated pilot channels into one or more of the frequencies allocated to symbols for the receiver. If the receiver is still unable to demodulate the received data, the wireless communication system can incrementally insert additional pilot channels in the symbol associated with the receiver.
