Abstract:
Techniques for detecting and suppressing jammers are described. A receiver may perform post-FFT jammer detection and pre-FFT jammer suppression. The receiver may transform an input signal to obtain a frequency-domain signal and may detect for jammers in the input signal based on the frequency-domain signal. The receiver may determine powers of a plurality of carriers based on the frequency-domain signal and may detect for jammers based on peaks in the powers of these carriers. The receiver may filter the input signal (e.g., with a notch filter) to suppress the detected jammers. Alternatively or additionally, the receiver may perform post-FFT jammer detection and post-FFT jammer suppression. The receiver may determine whether jammer is present on each carrier based on data power and channel power for that carrier. The receiver may modify (e.g., zero out or reduce) the frequency-domain signal on carriers with detected jammers.
Abstract:
Techniques for deriving a channel estimate using a scattered pilot and a continual pilot are described. The scattered pilot is sent on different sets of carriers in different symbol periods. The continual pilot is sent in each symbol period on irregularly spaced carriers. The scattered pilot is used to identify the indices of channel taps of interest, e.g., L strongest channel taps. The continual pilot is used to determine the complex gains of these L channel taps. A receiver derives a channel impulse response estimate based on received pilot symbols for the scattered pilot, identifies the L strongest channel taps, and determines the indices of these L strongest channel taps. The receiver forms a Fourier sub-matrix based on the L tap indices and determines the gains of the L channel taps based on received pilot symbols for the continual pilot and the Fourier sub-matrix.
