PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To perform AGC and DC compensation in a receiver.SOLUTION: A receiver comprises: an energy estimator for generating an estimate of the level of a received signal; an RF device to apply gain to the received signal; an AGC for controlling the RF device gain on the basis of the energy estimate; a first DC compensation loop for finely adjusting DC compensation of the received signal in a fast or slow tracking mode (FTM or STM); and a second DC compensation loop for coarsely adjusting a DC component of the received signal. AGC operations have three modes, namely, in acquisition, in connection, and in sleep.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide techniques to enhance the performance in a wireless communication system, using segments called subbands and using precoding.SOLUTION: The bandwidth for transmission to an access terminal is constrained to a preferred bandwidth which is less than the bandwidth available for transmission to an access terminal. Precoding information related to the subcarriers within the constrained bandwidth provides feedback about the forward link channel properties related to different subbands and may be fed back on a channel associated with the bandwidth.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To facilitate constructing unitary matrices that may be utilized in linear precoding for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) wireless communication systems.SOLUTION: Each unitary matrix may be generated by combining (e.g., multiplying) a diagonal matrix with a Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) matrix. The unitary matrices are utilized to provide feedback related to a channel and/or control transmission over a channel based upon obtained feedback.

Abstract:
Systems and methodologies are described that facilitates computing a precoding index which correlates to a precoding matrix within a codebook. According to various aspects, systems and/or methods are described that facilitate computing an effective signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). Such systems and/or methods may further facilitate selecting a precoding matrix and a corresponding precoding index. Such systems and/or methods may still further facilitate employing the precoding matrix in a MIMO wireless communication system.
