Abstract: A system and method that may facilitate transmission bandwidth savings in non-stationary vehicle-to-vehicle wireless communication channels. At a transmitting vehicle, a transmitter may adaptively change the number of pilot symbols or pilot rate within a frame based upon the current channel statistics. The transmitter may utilize a look-up table approach to select a best pilot rate based upon current conditions associated with the transmitting vehicle, and/or a new frame structure to transmit pilot rate information. At the receiving vehicle, the receiver may be configured to detect a unique waveform transmitted by the transmitting vehicle to estimate the pilot rate information. Alternatively, the receiver on the receiving vehicle may be configured to predict and verify the pilot rate information from an encoded data symbol embedded within a frame transmitted by the transmitting vehicle, which may entail a detection algorithm using encoded data symbols and/or an estimation algorithm using channel statistics.

Abstract: A mobile station in a communications system includes hardware and software stored on a tangible computer readable medium that, during operation, cause the mobile station to receive a timeslot assignment from a wireless network and operate based on the received timeslot assignment. The timeslot assignment may be based on whether a timing advance offset is used by the wireless network. The mobile station may also receive an indication from the wireless network, indicating whether a timing advance offset is used by the wireless network. The mobile station may subsequently operate based on the received indication.

Abstract: A method involving receiving a real time communication signal at a radio receiver involves measuring at least one performance value associated with the radio receiver with an installed set of state variables; at a processor forming a part of the radio receiver: iteratively changing at least one of the state variables within a prescribed range in order to identify an improved value of the state variable that provides an improvement to the at least one performance value; storing the improved value of the state variable; applying a statistical weighting to the improved value and storing the statistical weighting; and adjusting the prescribed range of the state variable based upon the statistical weighting to provide a revised prescribed range that is statistically likely to contain state variable that provides improvement in the at least one performance value. This abstract is not to be considered limiting.
