PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable proper reception of signals by reducing the probability of collisions between pilot signals of different wireless networks.SOLUTION: An initial interlace determination component 206 determines a new starting interlace number based on an initial pilot staggering sequence 210 utilizing an offset value (option) based on network information 214. A staggering sequence regenerator 208 generates a re-initialized pilot staggering sequence 212 utilizing the new starting interlace number and the initial pilot staggering sequence.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for initial acquisition gain control in a communication system, for repeated transmission at the maximal power value with a fixed time interval, where a receiver portion of a transceiver sets a gain of the receiver portion, e.g., when the transceiver is powered up or wakes up from a sleep mode.SOLUTION: The method includes measuring the power of a signal received by a transceiver a number of times over a prescribed time period, the signal including a number of symbols. A gain of the transceiver can be adjusted only to decrease when a currently measured power is greater than a previously measured power during the prescribed time period until the maximal power level is measured. By repeatedly reducing the gain to accommodate to the maximal power value, which is the same as the power level of an acquisition pilot symbol, overshoot and distortion by the transceiver is avoided during initial timing and frequency acquisition. A corresponding apparatus is also disclosed.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method of positioning a collection window of a Fourier transform function. SOLUTION: A first orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbol and a second OFDM symbol are received. The first OFDM symbol includes a plurality of symbols. The first OFDM symbol is characterized by at least two of the following: a delay spread, a first arriving path (FAP), or a last arriving path (LAP). A channel location is estimated from a channel impulse response. A point relating to the channel location is selected. A beginning of the collection window is positioned for the second OFDM symbol at the selected point. Alternatively, the point is selected at a first location relating to the channel location by using a first algorithm if a delay spread is less than a predetermined length. The selected point is chosen at a second location relating to the channel location by using a second algorithm if the delay spread is greater than the predetermined length.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide techniques for sending sector/system information in multiple TDM pilots using a hierarchical pilot structure.SOLUTION: A base station sends multiple sets of bits for the sector/system information in the multiple TDM pilots. The base station generates a first TDM pilot on the basis of a first set of bits, generates a second TDM pilot on the basis of a second set of bits that includes the first set, generates a third TDM pilot on the basis of all bits for the information, and sends the TDM pilots. A terminal performs detection to obtain a first detected value for the first TDM pilot, performs detection on the basis of the first detected value to obtain a second detected value for the second TDM pilot, and performs detection on the basis of the first and second detected values to obtain a third detected value for the third TDM pilot.
