  • Method and apparatus for data-centric multiplexing and asynchronous command interface to the encoder and multiplexer modules
    Patent number: 8761150
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for data centric multiplexing in a wireless communication system with a plurality of channels comprising assigning a first resource to a first of the plurality of channels; assigning a second resource to a second of the plurality of channels wherein the second resource is not the first resource; assigning a third resource to a third of the plurality of channels wherein the third resource is not the first or the second resource; and assigning a fourth resource to a fourth of the plurality of channels by puncturing at least one of the first, second or third resources and skipping the rest of unpunctured first, second or third resources. Further disclosed are apparatus and method for an asynchronous command interface to an encoder and multiplexer module in a wireless communication system.

  • Apparatus and method for channel resource description
    Patent number: 8238304
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for describing channel resources comprising allocating channel resources for a plurality of tiles; and determining a description of the channel resources allocated for a tile of the plurality of tiles by performing one or more of the following steps: a) comparing the size of the tile to a tile size threshold (THsize) to determine if the size of the tile is small or large; b) comparing the allocation of the channel resources to the tile to an allocation threshold (THallocation) to determine if the allocation of the channel resources is sparse or not sparse; and c) determining if the allocation of the channel resources within the tile is regularly spaced or not regularly spaced.
