Abstract
A method and apparatus for communication in a system employing differing transmission protocols. It is determined whether a first time slot of one transmission protocol is adjacent to a second time slot of another transmission protocol, and if a first symbol within the first time slot is adjacent to a second symbol of the second time slot. A pilot power and/or a number of pilot sub-carriers or tones of the first symbol is increased and channel estimation is performed on the first symbol.
Claims20
A method in a wireless communication system, comprising:
- determining whether a first time slot of one transmission protocol is adjacent to a second time slot of another transmission protocol;
- determining a first symbol within the first time slot that is adjacent to a second symbol of the second time slot;
- increasing a pilot power of the first symbol;
- and
- performing channel estimation on the first symbol.
An apparatus in a wireless communication system, comprising:
- means for determining whether a first time slot of one transmission protocol is adjacent to a second time slot of another transmission protocol;
- means for determining a first symbol within the first time slot that is adjacent to a second symbol of the second time slot;
- means for increasing a pilot power of the first symbol;
- and
- means for performing channel estimation on the first symbol.
A communication device in a wireless communication system, comprising:
- a receiver for receiving a signal;
- and
- a processor for determining whether a first time slot of one transmission protocol is adjacent to a second time slot of another transmission protocol of the signal, determining a first symbol within the first time slot that is adjacent to a second symbol of the second time slot, increasing a pilot power of the first symbol, and performing channel estimation on the first symbol.
A computer readable media programmed with a set of instructions executable on a processor to perform:
- determining whether a first time slot of one transmission protocol is adjacent to a second time slot of another transmission protocol;
- determining a first symbol within the first time slot that is adjacent to a second symbol of the second time slot;
- increasing a pilot power of the first symbol;
- and
- performing channel estimation on the first symbol.
