    Abstract: A communication system includes a plurality of access points (107) supporting a plurality of remote stations (101, 103, 105). A resource controller (111) comprises a receiver (201) receiving operating status messages from the access points (107) and a resource constraint processor (203) which determines common resource scheme constraints for the remote stations (101, 103, 105) in response to the status messages. The resource scheme constraints are distributed to the remote stations (101, 103, 105) which ensure that any selected resource scheme meets the resource scheme constraints. The resource controller (ill) furthermore comprises a time interval controller (207) which allocates different resource scheme modification time intervals to different subgroups of the remote stations (101, 103, 105). Each remote station (101, 103, 105) is arranged to autonomously select a resource scheme but can only change the resource scheme during a resource scheme modification time interval allocated to the remote station (101, 103, 105). The invention allows improved resource sharing and provides advantages of both distributed and centralized resource sharing approaches.

    Abstract: An Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing, OFDM, transmitter comprises a signalling data generator (113) which generates a set of data symbols indicative of physical layer characteristics of data transmissions from the OFDM transmitter (100). A first symbol generator (115) and second symbol generator (117) generates a first and second OFDM signalling symbol by allocating the set of data symbols to subcarriers. The allocation of the physical layer data symbols to subcarriers is different for the first OFDM signalling symbol and the second OFDM signalling symbol. A data packet generator (105) and transmitter (101) generate a data packet and transmit this to an OFDM receiver (300). The OFDM receiver (300) determines the physical layer data symbols by combining the data symbols of corresponding subcarriers of the first and second OFDM signalling symbols and uses the resulting information to decode the user data of the data packet.

    Abstract: An Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing, OFDM, transmitter comprises a signalling data generator (113) which generates a set of data symbols (e.g. in the SIG-N field) indicative of physical layer characteristics (e.g. modulation scheme, coding rate etc.) of data transmissions from the OFDM transmitter (100). A first symbol generator (115) and second symbol generator (117) generates a first and second OFDM signalling symbol (the second symbol being a repetition of the first symbol), by allocating the set of data symbols to subcarriers. The allocation of the physical layer data symbols to subcarriers is different for the first OFDM signalling symbol and the second OFDM signalling symbol. A data packet generator (105) and transmitter (101) generate a data packet and transmit this to an OFDM receiver (300). The OFDM receiver (300) determines the physical layer data symbols by combining the data symbols of corresponding subcarriers of the first and second OFDM signalling symbols and uses the resulting information to decode the user data of the data packet. An improved performance and range extension is achieved.

    Abstract: An orthogonal frequency division multiplex (OFDM) wireless communication system supports two OFDM communication modes of operation. A first OFDM communication mode of operation utilises a first respective communication bandwidth and a second OFDM communication mode of operation utilises a second communication bandwidth that incorporates the first communication bandwidth and at least one side carrier of the first communication bandwidth, where the at least one side carrier is arranged to carry no power in the first mode of operation. Signalling information is communicated in the at least one side-carrier in the second mode of operation, thereby indicating that the second mode of communication is to be used.
