System and method for improving signaling channel robustness
View Patent ↗A system and method for improving signaling channel robustness. Additional error correction is provided for (L 1 ) dynamic signaling that is carried in P 2 symbols in such way that high time diversity can be provided. In other embodiments, transmitted services are scheduled such that services will rotate or “move” between frames, thereby ensuring that a first slot for a service is not always transmitted in the same frequency.

preparing dynamic data for transmission in a pilot symbol of a particular frame;
preparing error correction data relating to the dynamic data for transmission;
including at least a portion of the error correction data in a corresponding pilot symbol of at least one prior frame occurring before the particular frame;
causing the transmission of the at least one prior frame; and
causing the transmission of the particular frame including the dynamic data.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein all of the error correction data is included in the corresponding pilot symbol of the at least one prior frame.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein a portion of the error correction data is included in the pilot symbol of the particular frame.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein at least a portion of the error correction data is included in the corresponding pilot symbol of a plurality of previous frames.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein at least a portion of the error correction data is included in the at least one prior frame for transmission on a frequency that is different than the frequency upon which the particular frame is transmitted.
6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
preparing second dynamic data for transmission in a subsequent frame in an additional corresponding pilot symbol;

prepare error correction data relating to the dynamic data for transmission;
include at least a portion of the error correction data in a corresponding pilot symbol of at least one prior frame occurring before the particular frame;
cause the transmission of the at least one prior frame; and
cause the transmission of the particular frame including the dynamic data.
8. An apparatus, comprising:
a processor; and
memory having computer code stored therein, that when executed by the processor, causes the apparatus to:
prepare dynamic data for transmission in a pilot symbol of a particular frame;
prepare error correction data relating to the dynamic data for transmission;
include at least a portion of the error correction data in a corresponding pilot symbol of at least one prior frame occurring before the particular frame;
cause the transmission of the at least one prior frame; and
cause the transmission of the particular frame including the dynamic data.
9. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein all of the error correction data is included in the corresponding pilot symbol of the at least one prior frame.
10. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein a portion of the error correction data is included in the pilot symbol of the particular frame.
11. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein at least a portion of the error correction data is included in the corresponding pilot symbol of a plurality of previous frames.
12. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein at least a portion of the error correction data is included in the at least one prior frame for transmission on a frequency that is different than the frequency upon which the particular frame is transmitted.
13. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the computer code, when executed by the processor, further causes the apparatus to:
prepare second dynamic data for transmission in a subsequent frame in an additional corresponding pilot symbol;
prepare second error correction data relating to the second dynamic data for transmission; and
before transmitting the particular frame, include at least a portion of the second error correction data in the pilot symbol of the particular frame.
14. An apparatus, comprising:
means for preparing dynamic data for transmission in a pilot symbol of a particular frame;
means for preparing error correction data relating to the dynamic data for transmission;
means for including at least a portion of the error correction data in a corresponding pilot symbol of at least one prior frame occurring before the particular frame;
means for transmitting the at least one prior frame; and
means for transmitting the particular frame including the dynamic data.
15. The apparatus of claim 14 , wherein at least a portion of the error correction data is included in the at least one prior frame for transmission on a frequency that is different than the frequency upon which the particular frame is transmitted.
16. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 7 , wherein all of the error correction data is included in the corresponding pilot symbol of the at least one prior frame.
