Abstract: In a wireless, OFDM system, phase noise may be mitigated through the use of an interleaver that is designed to distribute coded block bits across subcarriers of multiple OFDM symbols. Doing so decreases the non-stationary properties of the noise. Such an interleaver may be a rectangular interleaver that maps each block to a different subcarrier to create frequency diversity and to a different OFDM symbol, to create time diversity. One exemplary method of interleaving the symbols is to place a first symbol at row X and column Y of the interleaver. The next symbol is placed in row X+1 and column Y+1. The result of such an interleaving process is a great reduction in the block error rate.

Abstract: Some demonstrative embodiments include devices, systems and/or methods of processing single-carrier wireless communication signal. For example, a device may include a receiver to receive an analog single-carrier wireless communication signal representing a first plurality of time-domain samples at a first sampling rate; to convert the analog single-carrier wireless communication signal into a digital signal including a second plurality of time-domain samples at a second sampling rate, which is greater than the first sampling rate; to convert the second plurality of time-domain samples into a first plurality of frequency-domain samples; and to map the first plurality of frequency-domain samples into a second plurality of frequency-domain samples at the first sampling rate.

Abstract: An approach is provided to compensate for inter-carrier interference caused by phase noise in a transmitted or received signal. The approach involves causing an estimation of one or more phase noise spectrum taps that cause inter-carrier interference in a received signal. The approach also involves causing an approximation of an instantaneous phase noise spectrum by a low order finite impulse response filter based on the estimated one or more phase noise spectrum taps. The approach additionally involves determining a de-convolution filter having two or more filter coefficients for one or more orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing symbols associated with the received signal. The approach further involves causing the de-convolution filter to be matched to the approximated instantaneous phase noise spectrum.

Abstract: Some demonstrative embodiments include apparatuses, systems and/or methods of wireless backhaul communication between wireless communication nodes. For example, a wireless communication controller may control a wireless communication node to communicate with one or more other wireless communication nodes via one or more backhaul links of a backhaul network over a first frequency band, and to communicate with a control station via a control link over a second frequency band, the first frequency band is higher than the second frequency band.

Abstract: Some demonstrative embodiments include devices, systems and/or methods of communicating a wireless orthogonal-frequency-division-multiplexing (OFDM) signal. For example, a wireless communication device may communicate a wireless communication OFDM signal including a plurality of data subcarriers carrying data, at least one pilot subcarrier carrying a reference, predefined, value, and a plurality of zero subcarriers, carrying a zero value, surrounding the pilot subcarrier and separating between the pilot subcarrier and the data subcarriers.

Abstract: Technology is discussed to allow transmission points within a Wireless Wide Area Network (WWAN) to adapt to Up Link (UL) and Down Link (DL) traffic demands independently. To mitigate potential interference arising from transmission points scheduled for conflicting UL and DL transmissions, measurements between transmission points can be made to indicate a level of coupling. Based on the various levels of coupling between transmission points, clusters can be formed. Where a high level of coupling is present, transmission points can be included in a common cluster. Where a low level of coupling is present, they can be isolated. Transmission points within the same cluster are scheduled with a common pattern of UL and DL transmissions to avoid interference. Transmission points in different clusters can have different patterns of UL and DL transmission to independently adapt to the relative demands for UL and DL transmissions experienced within these different clusters.
