Abstract

A method and apparatus to transmit pilot subcarriers over uplink channels. The pilot subcarriers includes symbols which hierarchically structured. The symbol includes a first split of at least two fractional frequency reuse (FFR) groups, a second split of a fractional frequency reuse (FFR) group to a distributed resource group and localized resource group and a third split of said distributed resource group and localized resource group into plurality of subchannels.

Claims (59)

1. A method comprising:

transmitting over an uplink channel two or more symbols, wherein said symbol is hierarchically structured and includes a first split of at least one or more fractional frequency reuse (FFR) groups, a second split of at least one of the fractional frequency reuse (FFR) groups to a distributed resource group and a localized resource group and a third split of said distributed resource group and localized resource group into plurality of subchannels.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first split comprises:

distributing a physical resource unit (PRU) to two or more frequency partitions.

3. The method of claim 2 , further comprising:

distributing said physical resource unit (PRU) to at least one of the localized groups and distributed groups.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first split comprises:

allocating resources that substantially uniformly spread over a desired frequency bandwidth; and

distributing the at least one or more fractional frequency reuse (FFR) groups.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first split comprises:

distributing a plurality of subcarriers to the one or more fractional frequency reuse (FFR) groups; and

distributing two or more pilot subcarriers of the plurality of subcarriers to the one or more fractional frequency reuse (FFR) groups, separately.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the third split comprises:

distributing two or more subcarriers to two or more of the subchannels.

7. The method of claim 1 comprising:

transmitting a predetermined type of pilot stream pattern, wherein the predetermined type of pilot stream pattern is selected from a predetermined number of interlaced pilot patterns.

8. The method of claim 1 comprising,

transmitting using multiple input multiple output transmitting techniques.

9. An apparatus comprising:

subchannelization and symbol mapping processor to perform symbol mapping to map two or more uplink subcarriers to a resource unit and to two or more subchannels.

10. The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the subchannelization and symbol mapping processor is configured to apply at least three level of processing for said symbol mapping and a first level of the three level processing includes distributing a physical resources unit to first and second frequency partitions.

11. The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein a second level comprises:

dividing the first and second frequency partition to localized resource unit and to distributed resource unit.

12. The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein a third level comprises:

mapping two or more logical resource units to two or more of the two or more subchannels.

13. A wireless communication device comprising:

subchannelization and symbol mapping processor to perform symbol mapping to map two or more uplink subcarriers to a resource unit and to two or more subchannels; and

a transmitter to transmit the two or more subchannels.

14. The wireless communication device of claim 13 , wherein the subchannelization and symbol mapping processor is configured to apply at least three level of processing for said symbol mapping and a first level of the three level processing includes distributing a physical resources unit to first and second frequency partitions.

15. The wireless communication device of claim 14 , wherein a second level comprises:

dividing the first and second frequency partition to localized resource unit and to distributed resource unit.

16. The wireless communication device of claim 14 , wherein a third level comprises:

mapping two or more logical resource units to two or more of the two or more subchannels.

17. The wireless communication device of claim 13 , comprising:

a multiple input multiple output controller to distribute a predetermined type of pilot stream patterns to the transmitter.

18. The wireless communication device of claim 17 , wherein the predetermined type of pilot stream patterns comprises a predetermine number of interlaced pilot patterns.

19. A wireless communication device comprising:

subchannelization and symbol mapping processor to perform symbol mapping to map two or more uplink subcarriers to a resource unit and to two or more subchannels; and

a transmitter operably coupled to a dipole antenna to transmit the two or more subchannels.

20. The wireless communication device of claim 19 , wherein the subchannelization and symbol mapping processor is configured to apply at least three level of processing for said symbol mapping and a first level of the three level processing includes distributing a physical resources unit to first and second frequency partitions.

21. The wireless communication device of claim 20 , wherein a second level comprises:

dividing the first and second frequency partition to localized resource unit and to distributed resource unit.

22. The wireless communication device of claim 20 , wherein a third level comprises:

mapping two or more logical resource units to two or more of the two or more subchannels.

23. The wireless communication device of claim 19 , comprising:

a multiple input multiple output controller to distribute a predetermined type of pilot stream patterns to the transmitter.

24. A wireless communication system comprising:

a wireless communication device including a subchannelization and symbol mapping processor to perform symbol mapping to map two or more uplink subcarriers to a resource unit and to two or more subchannels; and

a transmitter to transmit the two or more subchannels to a one or more cells.

25. The wireless communication system of claim 24 , wherein the subchannelization and symbol mapping processor is configured to apply at least three level of processing for said symbol mapping and a first level of the three level processing includes distributing a physical resources unit to first and second frequency partitions.

26. The wireless communication system of claim 25 , wherein a second level comprises:

dividing the first and second frequency partition to localized resource unit and to distributed resource unit.

27. The wireless communication system of claim 25 , wherein a third level comprises:

mapping two or more logical resource units to two or more of the two or more subchannels.

28. The wireless communication system of claim 24 , comprising:

a multiple input multiple output controller to distribute a predetermined type of pilot stream patterns to the transmitter.

29. The wireless communication system of claim 28 , wherein the predetermined type of pilot stream patterns comprises a selected pilot pattern which selected from a predetermine number of interlaced pilot patterns based on the one or more cells.

30. The wireless communication system of claim 28 , wherein the predetermined type of pilot stream patterns comprises:
