TECHNIQUES TO MANAGE DWELL TIMES FOR PILOT ROTATION

摘要

Techniques to manage dwell times for pilot rotation are described. An apparatus may comprise a memory configured to store a data structure with a set of modulation and coding schemes (MCS) available to an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system, each MCS having an associated pilot dwell time. The apparatus may further comprise a processor circuit coupled to the memory, the processor circuit configured to identify a MCS to communicate a packet using multiple subcarriers of the OFDM system, and retrieve a pilot dwell time associated with the MCS from the memory, the pilot dwell time to indicate when to shift a pilot tone between subcarriers of the multiple subcarriers during communication of the packet. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

1. A communication device configured to communicate orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) wireless communications, the communication device comprising:
a processor circuit configured to shift a pilot tone, from a first subcarrier to a second subcarrier of plurality of subcarriers, according to an N value of OFDM symbols; and a transceiver to transmit OFDM signals including the shifted pilot tone.
