Patent number: 10164810Abstract: The description herein relates to pilot designs for an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) based communication system. In at least one embodiment, the communication system is one operating according to the IEEE 802.16m, or WiMax, standard. In general, an OFDM transmitter operates to insert pilot symbols into a resource of a transmit frame according to a predetermined staggered pilot symbol pattern defining pilot symbol locations within the resource of the transmit frame. The predetermined pilot symbol pattern is defined such that pilot symbols are located at or near time boundaries of the resource, at or near frequency boundaries of the resource, or both. By doing so, when generating a channel estimate for the communication channel between the OFDM transmitter and an OFDM receiver based on the pilot symbols, extrapolations needed to estimate the channel near the boundaries of the resource are optimized, thereby improving overall channel estimation accuracy.Type: GrantFiled: January 25, 2016Date of Patent: December 25, 2018Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Dong-Sheng Yu, Mo-Han Fong, Jianglei Ma, Sophie Vrzic, Hang Zhang

Patent number: 9974060Abstract: Methods, base stations and access terminals for uplink signalling are provided. Resource request channel characteristics such as location in time-frequency, sequence, time slot, are assigned to each access terminal to distinguish their resource requests from the resource requests of other access terminals. Access terminals make requests using a resource request on a resource request channel having the assigned characteristics. The base station can then determine which access terminal transmitted the resource request based on the resource request channel characteristics of the resource request channel upon which the resource request was received. The base station then transmits a response to the request which may for example be a new resource allocation, a default allocation or a renewal of a previous allocation.Type: GrantFiled: September 11, 2008Date of Patent: May 15, 2018Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Robert Novak, Mo-Han Fong, Sophie Vrzic, Jun Yuan, Dong-Sheng Yu, Jianglei Ma
