| 20080225689 | Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing having tones with overlaid data and pilot symbols - In one embodiment, an OFDM transmitter generates sets of frequency-domain data symbols from a stream of digital data. For each set of frequency-domain data symbols generated, the transmitter generates a corresponding set of frequency-domain pilot symbols. Each corresponding set of data symbols and pilot symbols are then multiplexed onto a set of frequency tones, such that, at least one tone is occupied by both a data symbol and a pilot symbol. For each tone having both a pilot symbol and data symbol, the pilot symbol and data symbol are added together to form an overlaid data and pilot (ODP) tone. Each set of tones having at least one ODP tone is then transmitted to an inverse fast Fourier transform (IFFT) processor that transforms each set of tones into an ODP OFDM symbol. Each ODP OFDM symbol is then prepared for transmission using digital-to-analog conversion, cyclic prefix insertion, and RF modulation. | 09-18-2008 |

A first hybrid-QPSK constellation is generated by combining the real components of both 16-QAM mapping constellations onto one coordinate plane. The demapper generates a first set of two decision variables by combining the real components of each equalized data symbol in a pair to correspond to the first hybrid-QPSK coordinate plane. A log-likelihood ratio is then calculated for both decision variables in the set to determine likelihood estimates for the first and second bits of the four-bit group. This process is repeated for the imaginary components of each corresponding pair of equalized data symbols to generate likelihood estimates for the third and fourth bits of the four-bit group. | 10-02-2008 |
