Preamble design for a wireless signal

摘要

Providing for management of wireless communications in a heterogeneous wireless access point (AP) environment is described herein. By way of example, system data of an over-the-air message can be configured to include information identifying a distinct type of transmitting base station. In some aspects, the information can include an access type of the base station and/or a sector ID for distinguishing the base station among large numbers of other base stations. According to other aspects, the information can include wireless channel resources designated for a particular type of base station, or blanked by the transmitting base station, to facilitate interference reduction on such resources. By employing aspects of wireless communication management disclosed herein, efficient and reliable communication can be affected in large heterogeneous AP networks.

1. A method of wireless communication, comprising:
generating a preamble for a wireless signal, the preamble comprises network overhead information pertinent to a base station (BS) transmitting the wireless signal; including information within the preamble that provides a unique or semi-unique sector ID for the BS; and transmitting the preamble as a low re-use preamble, wherein the low re-use preamble employs a fraction of time, frequency, code or symbol resources of a time frame of the wireless signal.
