    Abstract: Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate reducing feedback required to be transmitted on a reverse link channel in response to a forward link data transmission for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) wireless communication systems. In a per group rate control MIMO system, a codeword can be linked to more than one layer. Codewords are mixed among antennas in the MIMO systems based upon a symmetric permutation of antennas groups. Further, codewords are transmitted in permuted form so that receivers can reduce feedback to a base channel quality indicator (CQI) and a differential CQI. Additionally, spatial diversity is increased for each codeword improving the robustness of the system against inaccurate CQI reports.

    Abstract: Systems and methods allow cell acquisition in a wireless communication sy stem in frequency division multiple access mode of operation. Code sequences transmitted over primary synchronization channel (P-SCH) enable detection o f symbol boundary, cyclic prefix duration, and indication of broadcast chann el bandwidth. Sequences transmitted over secondary synchronization channel ( S-SCH) afford radio frame boundary detection, cell identification, and broad cast channel bandwidth indication. Cell identification can be conveyed joint ly between P-SCH and S-SCH codes. Broadcast channel sequences convey cyclic prefix timing, system bandwidth, and other system information. Relay of cell acquisition information, as well as multiple-cell acquisition when wireless system operates with frequency reuse are described.

    Abstract: Facilitating frequency hopping for single carrier, frequency division mul tiple access (SC-FDMA) transmission is described herein. By way of example, user data transmitted within a transmission allocation unit can be frequency shifted with respect to time based slots of the allocation unit. As a resul t, frequency hopping can be accomplished while preserving single carrier con straints and a low peak to average power ratio (PAPR). Furthermore, various frequency shifted mechanisms are disclosed to accomplish preservation of sin gle carrier restraints. For example, a scheduler can select between cyclic f requency shifting, transposed frequency shifting, and multiplexing of freque ncy selective scheduled and frequency hopped data based on an audit of sched uled data for the transmission allocation unit. As a result, the reduction i n interference achieved through frequency hopping can be combined with the l ow PAPR for various data allocation configurations.

    Abstract: Techniques for efficiently sending channel state information using differential encoding are described. Differential encoding may be performed across space, across frequency, across space and frequency, across space, frequency and time, or across some other combination of dimensions. In one design, spatial state information may be determined for multiple spatial channels on multiple subbands. The spatial channels may correspond to different antennas, different precoding vectors, etc. Channel quality indicator (CQI) values may be obtained for the multiple spatial channels on the multiple subbands. The CQI values may be differentially encoded across the multiple spatial channels and the multiple subbands to obtain differential CQI information. In another design, CQI values may be obtained for multiple spatial channels on the multiple subbands in multiple time intervals and may be differentially encoded across space, frequency and time. The differential CQI information and the spatial state information may be sent as feedback.
