Configurable guard time for wireless networks

摘要

Techniques, apparatuses, and systems for wireless communications comprising can include operating a wireless communication system that provides multiple guard time values for different deployment configurations, mapping the guard time values to cyclic prefix (CP) values to reduce an acquisition complexity and reduce an initial synchronization time of a mobile station, and communicating a selected guard time value to a mobile station by transmitting a signal using a cyclic prefix value corresponding to the selected guard time value.

1. A method for wireless communications comprising:
operating a wireless communication system that provides multiple guard time options for different deployment configurations, wherein the multiple guard time options have different guard time values from one another for a corresponding transition from a forward link (FL) to a reverse link (RL); mapping the guard time values to cyclic prefix (CP) values to obtain information on relationship between guard time values and cyclic prefix values and reduce an acquisition complexity and reduce an initial synchronization time of a mobile station; providing the information on relationship between guard time values and cyclic prefix values to a mobile station; generating a cyclic prefix whose length is indicative of a selected guard time, wherein the cyclic prefix is based on communication data; and communicating the cyclic prefix and the communication data to the mobile station to operate the mobile station to determine the selected guard time based on the length of the cyclic prefix.
