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) transmitter (100 in Fig. 1) comprises a symbol generator (103) for generating a first OFDM symbol comprising user data and pilot data. The pilot data comprises a set of predetermined non-orthogonal pilot symbols. A weight generator (109) uses an ampliture estimator (107) for selecting a set of weights for the pilot data in response to a time domain amplitude variation characteristic of the first OFDM symbol. The peak to average power ratio may be determined. The set of weights are selected from a discrete alphabet of weights. A weight processor (113) determineds a second OFDM symbol by weightitng the pilo symbols by the set of weights. The second OFDM symbol is transmitted to a receiver without transmitting identification of the selected set of weights. The receiver may perform a blind detection of the applied weights and may compensate the received pilot symbols for the estimated weight.

Abstract:
A transmitter comprises a transmit processor (105), preamble inserters (107, 109) and transmit units (113, 117) which are operable to transmit sub-signals from the antennas (115, 119). A preamble set comprising an individual preamble for each antenna generated by a preamble generator (111). Each of the individual preambles comprise first and second sections. The first section comprises a first data sequence, different for each antenna, and is selected from a predetermined set of preamble sequences. The first data sequence may comprise only time domain symbols belonging to the alphabet [1,-1, i,-i,0]. The second section comprises repetitions of a predetermined second data sequence where each repetition is weighted by a coefficient that is different for each antenna. Weighting may be by coefficients of different rows of a Walsh Hadamard matrix. The second data sequence may comprise only frequency domain symbols belonging to the alphabet of [1,-1,0].

A method and apparatus for encoding a modulated signal in a communication system. The method includes generating an initial constellation (310), applying a vertical axis symmetry to the initial constellation to generate a first resulting constellation, translating the first resulting constellation to a left direction of the initial constellation to produce a left flipped constellation (320), applying a hortizontal axis symmetry to the initial constellation to generate a second resulting constellation, translating the second resulting constellation to an up direction of the initial constellation to produce an up flipped constellation (330), applying a central axis symmetry to the initial constellation to generate a third resulting constellation; and translating the third resulting constellation to a left-up direction of the initial constellation to produce a left-up flipped constellation (340).
