Method and system for wireless communications between base and mobile stations

摘要

A method and system for wireless communications between base and mobile stations use reference signals transmitted from base stations prior transmission of data signals. The reference signals are used to determine propagation characteristics of communication channels between the base and mobile stations and optimize, in real time, parameters of receivers of the mobile stations for processing the following data signals. Applications of the invention include wireless communication systems compliant with OFDMA, 3GPP LTE, RFN-OFDMA, OFDM, TDMA, and the like communication protocols.

主权项

1. A method for receiving one or more reference signals and one or more data signals, the method comprising:
switching into an active state before the arrival of a first reference signal; receiving the first reference signal; determining at least one propagation characteristic of a communication channel based at least in part on the received first reference signal; and optimizing reception of a first data signal corresponding to the first reference signal by adjusting at least one receiver parameter based on the at least one propagation characteristic of the communication channel, wherein: each reference signal immediately precedes a corresponding data signal, and the one or more reference signals have a predetermined periodicity.
