PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide techniques for encoding and decoding data.SOLUTION: Multiple code rates for a forward error correction (FEC) code may be supported, and a suitable code rate may be selected based on packet size. A transmitter may obtain at least one threshold to use for code rate selection, determine a packet size to use for data transmission, and select a code rate among the multiple FEC code rates based on the packet size and the at least one threshold. Multiple FEC codes of different types (e.g., Turbo, LDPC, and convolutional codes) may be supported, and a suitable FEC code may be selected based on packet size. The transmitter may obtain at least one threshold to use for FEC code selection and may select an FEC code among the multiple FEC codes based on the packet size and the at least one threshold.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method of efficiently sending signals on a configurable CDMA control segment.SOLUTION: To send signals, transmission parameters for the CDMA control segment 300 for a serving sector are determined. The enabled CDMA signaling channels for a terminal and the average transmission interval for each enabled CDMA signaling channel are determined. For each frame in which the CDMA control segment 300 is sent, the signaling channels to be sent on the CDMA control segment 300 in that frame are determined. The signals for each signaling channel are processed (e.g., encoded, channelized, scaled, and scrambled). The processed signals for all signaling channels are combined and mapped to a time-frequency region used for the CDMA control segment 300 in the frame.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system and method for facilitating generating and processing acquisition pilots in wireless communications.SOLUTION: Acquisition pilots that convey timing and frequency synchronization information, wireless system acquisition and system determination information are modulated with pseudorandom sequences. R bits of information carried by the acquisition pilot that conveys system determination information are augmented with T bits that convey a counter index associated with the system timing of superframes transmitted from an access point. The processing overhead resulting from the addition of the T bits is offset by advantages afforded to a wireless communication. Salient advantages include: (i) processing gain at a receiver for communication in a specific sector during asynchronous operation, (ii) packet boundary determination through counter field values, and (iii) initialization of various pseudorandom registers employed for communication.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide transmission schemes that can flexibly achieve a desired spatial multiplexing order, spatial diversity order, and channel estimation overhead order.SOLUTION: For data transmission, assigned subcarriers and a spatial multiplexing order (M) for a receiver are determined (M≥1). For each assigned subcarrier, M virtual antennas are selected from among V virtual antennas formed with V columns of an orthonormal matrix (V≥M). V may be selected to achieve a desired spatial diversity order and channel estimation overhead order. Output symbols are mapped to the M virtual antennas selected for each assigned subcarrier by applying the orthonormal matrix. The mapped symbols are provided for transmission from T transmission antennas (T≥V). Different cyclic delays may be applied for the T transmission antennas to improve diversity.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide techniques for using multiple modulation schemes for a single packet.SOLUTION: Each data packet is processed and transmitted in up to T blocks, where T>1. Multiple modulation schemes are used for the T blocks to achieve good performance. A transmitter encodes a data packet to generate code bits. The transmitter then forms a block of code bits with the code bits generated for the packet, determines the modulation scheme to be used for the block (e.g., based on a mode/rate selected for the packet), maps the code bits for the block based on the modulation scheme to obtain data symbols, and processes and transmits the block of data symbols to a receiver. The transmitter generates and transmits another block in similar manner until the data packet is decoded correctly or all T blocks have been transmitted. The receiver performs the complementary processing to receive and decode the packet.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a wireless communication system with a multiplication scheme that does not have a high PAPR.SOLUTION: Enhanced frequency division multiple access (EFDMA) is a multiplexing scheme that sends modulation symbols in the time domain and achieves a lower PAPR. An EFDMA symbol occupies multiple subband groups that are spaced apart in a frequency band, with each subband group containing multiple adjacent subbands. To generate an EFDMA symbol, multiple modulation symbols are mapped onto a first sequence of symbols. A transform is performed on the first sequence to obtain a second sequence. The values in the second sequence corresponding to the subbands used for the EFDMA symbol are retained, and the remaining values are zeroed out to obtain a third sequence. An inverse transform is performed on the third sequence to obtain a fourth sequence.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a technique of flexibly supporting different band widths in a radio communication system.SOLUTION: A configurable operating bandwidth using a fixed design bandwidth and variable guard bands is supported. Values for various parameters such as a fast Fourier transform size, a cyclic prefix length, and a sample rate are selected based on the design bandwidth. The design bandwidth is associated with a total of K subcarriers. Different operating bandwidths are supported by selecting different numbers of usable subcarriers. A transmitter and a receiver perform processing for a transmission using the same FFT size, cyclic prefix length, and sample rate regardless of the selected operating bandwidth. The system uses different operating bandwidths and/or different parameter values (e.g., FFT sizes) for different portions of transmission (e.g., a main body and a preamble of the transmission).
Abstract:
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.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for performing the communication of a frame having two or more modulation schemes in a single system. SOLUTION: Each part of the communication frames having first and second parts has a plurality of subcarriers, and includes a step of modulating at least one subcarrier in the first part by using a first modulation scheme and a step of modulating one or more subcarriers in the second part by using a second modulation scheme different form the first modulation scheme. First type information is transmitted on at least one of the subcarriers in the first part by using the first modulation scheme. Second type information different from the first type information is transmitted on at least one or more of the subcarriers in the second part by using the second modulation scheme.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a dynamic resource allocation system, apparatus, and method for selectively improving the ability of a receiver to determine a channel estimate value in an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) system. SOLUTION: A wireless communication system dynamically allocates channel estimation resources so as to selectively improve the ability of determining a channel estimate value. A receiver sends a request for additional channel estimation resources to a transmitter in the system. The wireless communication system provides the 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 received data, the wireless communication system incrementally inserts additional pilot channels in the symbol associated with the receiver.
