Abstract

Methods and apparatus for providing a resource element identification system to process received uplink transmissions. A process for facilitating information processing, in one embodiment, is capable of receiving resource elements (“REs”) of an uplink transmission from a communication network. Upon generating normalized REs via a gain normalizer in accordance with a first set of parameters, an inverse transform block is able to generate time domain signals by performing an inverse transform of normalized REs to in response to a second set of parameters. The process facilitates to detect, via a processing type detector, one of two processing types in response to normalized REs and a third set of parameters.
