The embodiments utilize OFDM symbols to communicate network IDs. The IDs are encoded into symbols utilizing the network IDs as seeds to scramble respective pilots that are then transmitted by utilizing the symbols. The pilots can be structured into a single OFDM symbol and/or multiple OFDM symbols. The single symbol structure for transmitting the network IDs is independent of the number of network ID bits and minimizes frequency offset and Doppler effects. The multiple symbol structure allows a much coarser timing accuracy to be employed at the expense of transmitting additional symbols. Several embodiments employ a search function to find possible network ID candidates from a transmitted symbol and a selection function to find an optimum candidate from a network ID candidate list.
A method for facilitating data communications, comprising:
A system that facilitates data communications, comprising:
The system of claim 244, the network ID determination component is configured to employ a search component and a selection component to facilitate in determining a network ID.
A system that facilitates data communications, comprising:
A data packet, transmitted between two or more communication components, that facilitates data communications, the data packet comprising, at least in part, information relating to a network ID that is communicated through at least one OFDM symbol structure that employs at least one pilot respective of the network ID.
A microprocessor that executes instructions for performing a method of facilitating data communications, comprising:
