Systems and methods for reduced overhead in wireless communication systems

Abstract

Systems and methods are disclosed which implement one or more overhead reduction technique, if channel conditions favorable to implementation of overhead reduction are present. The one or more overhead reduction technique may have one or more restriction corresponding to the channel for which the overhead reduction technique is implemented. The one or more overhead reduction technique implemented may include time-domain bundling, frequency-domain bundling, and pattern adaptation. Pattern adaptation may include pattern code-domain reduction, pattern timing-domain reduction, and pattern frequency-domain reduction.

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application Serial No. 61 / 642,909, filed May 4, 2012, entitled "SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR REDUCED OVERHEAD IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS," and the entire disclosure of this Provisional Patent Application Incorporated herein by reference. technical field [0003] Aspects of the present disclosure relate generally to wireless communication systems and, more specifically, to reducing reference signal overhead in wireless communication systems. Background technique [0004] Wireless communication networks are widely deployed to provide various communication services such as voice, video, packet data, messaging, broadcast and so on. These wireless networks may be multiple-access networks capable of supporting multiple users by sharing available network resources. Such networks are typically multiple-access networks, supporting communication for multiple users b...
