METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR REDUCING FEEDBACK INFORMATION IN MULTICARRIER-BASED COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS BASED ON FREQUENCY GROUPING

摘要

Systems and methods for decreasing the amount of information sent on a feedback channel are disclosed. Various forms of spectral binning may be used to reduce the amount of information sent on the feedback channel. The systems and methods may be applicable to wideband communication systems, ultra-wideband communication systems, and/or other communication system using multiple carrier frequencies (e.g., tones).
