Abstract: In a single-carrier frequency division multiple access (SC-FDMA) system that utilizes interleaved FDMA (IFDMA) or localized FDMA (LFDMA), a transmitter generates modulation symbols for different types of data (e.g., traffic data, signaling, and pilot) and performs code division multiplexing (CDM) on at least one data type. For example, the transmitter may apply CDM on signaling and/or pilot sent on frequency subbands and symbol periods that are also used by at least one other transmitter. To apply CDM to a given data type (e.g., signaling), the transmitter performs spreading on the modulation symbols for that data type with an assigned spreading code. CDM may be applied across symbols, samples, samples and symbols, frequency subbands, and so on. The transmitter may perform scrambling after the spreading. The transmitter generates SC-FDMA symbols of the same or different symbol durations for traffic data, signaling, and pilot and transmits the SC-FDMA symbols.

Abstract: Transmission patterns for pilot symbols transmitted from a mobile station or base station are provided. The pattern allows for improved receipt of the pilot symbols transmitted. In addition, schemes for improving the ability to multiplex pilot symbols without interference and/or biasing from different mobile stations over the same frequencies and in the same time slots.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are disclosed for providing flexible channel information feedback. In some cases this may be according to reporting types assigned by one or more sectors, with different reporting types for each sector. In other cases, a reporting mode is determined to determine the reporting types to be utilized.

Abstract: For interference control, a sector m estimates interference observed from terminals in neighbor sectors and obtains an interference estimate. Sector m may generate an over-the-air (OTA) other-sector interference (OSI) report and/or an inter-sector (IS) OSI report based on the interference estimate. Sector m may broadcast the OTA OSI report to the terminals in the neighbor sectors. These terminals may adjust their transmit powers based on the OTA OSI report. Sector m may send the IS OSI report to the neighbor sectors, receive IS OSI reports from the neighbor sectors, and regulate data transmissions for terminals in sector m based on the received IS OSI reports. Sector m may control admission of terminals to sector m, de-assign admitted terminals, schedule terminals in sector m in a manner to reduce interference to the neighbor sectors, and/or assign the terminals in sector m with traffic channels that cause less interference to the neighbor sectors.
