<p>Techniques for transmitting and receiving pilots (reference signals) in a wireless network are described. In an aspect, information may be conveyed based on specific resources used to send a signal, e.g., a pilot. A pseudo- random function may receive the information to convey via the pilot and possibly other information and may provide pseudo-random values, which may be used to select the resources to use to send the pilot. In one design, a transmitter (e.g., a base station for a sector) may determine first information (e.g., a sector ID) to convey via a pilot and may also determine second information for absolute time (e.g. a pilot cycle index). The transmitter may determine resources (e.g., slots) to use to send the pilot based on the first and second information and possibly based further on a pseudo- random, PN, offset assigned to the sector. The transmitter may transmit the pilot in the determined resources. The sector ID may be recovered at a receiver based on a pilot cycle index and other information.</p> |
