<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide techniques to more efficiently transmit pilots on demand on a reverse link. <P>SOLUTION: Pilots are transmitted on demand on a reverse link and used for channel estimation and data transmission on a forward link. A base station selects at least one terminal for on-demand pilot transmission on the reverse link (210). Each of the at least one selected terminal is a candidate for receiving data transmission on the forward link. The base station assigns each of the at least one selected terminal with a time-frequency allocation (212), which may be for a wideband pilot, a narrowband pilot, or some other type of pilot. The base station receives and processes an on-demand pilot transmitted from each of the at least one selected terminal (216) and derives a channel estimate for the terminal based on the received pilot (218). <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
