A multi-rate interleaved frequency division multiple access (IFDMA) modulation scheme permits users to transmit at different data rates or to vary their data rates while providing frequency diversity and preserving low peak-to-average power ratios and orthogonality between users at different data rates. The modulation scheme allows user-specific data block and repetition sizes, as well as user-specific modulation codes. Code assignment rules are provided for maintaining orthogonality between users having different data rates. Block and phase ramp modulation codes can be used. Asynchronous transmissions by users are supported by ensuring that the length of the cyclic extension is sufficiently long to tolerate worst case relative signal arrival delays between users and the channel pulse response duration over the communication medium. The modulation scheme can be employed in wireless communication systems, such as cellular or paging systems.

The present invention employs a pilot scheme for frequency division multiple access (FDM) communication systems, such as single carrier FDM communication systems. A given transmit time interval will include numerous traffic symbols and two or more short pilot symbols, which are spaced apart from one another by at least one traffic symbol and will have a Fourier transform length that is less than the Fourier transform length of any given traffic symbol. Multiple transmitters will generate pilot information and modulate the pilot information onto sub-carriers of the short pilot symbols in an orthogonal manner. Each transmitter may use different sub-carriers within the time and frequency domain, which is encompassed by the short pilot symbols within the transmit time interval. Alternatively, each transmitter may uniquely encode the pilot information using a unique code division multiplexed code and modulate the encoded pilot information onto common sub-carriers of the short pilot symbols.

The invention discloses a time division multiple access / frequency division multiple access (TDMA / FDMA)-based wireless sensor network (WSN) medium access control (mac) layer scheduling method. By the scheduling method, channels are distributed by using a time division multiplex (TDM) system in clusters and a frequency division multiplex (FDM) system among the clusters aiming at a clustering-based data collection type WSN network. The TDM system and the FDM system favorably overcome the defect of a large number of access conflicts of a contention type mac scheduling method under the condition of high network load. Meanwhile, by the novel mac scheduling method, carrier sense multiple access (csma) time slots are introduced at a communication stage in the clusters, so that the defect of low expansibility of the TDMA scheduling methods is overcome. A node revives in an active period to forward data and enters a dormancy state in an inactive period, so that the energy consumption is lowered. According to the conditions of the network load, by the scheduling method, the duty ratio of the active period in the communication cycle can be automatically adjusted, the dynamic requirements of the network on throughput can be met, and the time delay of the data is reduced to a certain extent.

A communication system in which an access point and one or more devices communicating through the access point adaptively apply Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA). The access point may assign orthogonal subcarriers to devices as in conventional OFDMA, but the access point senses activity on the subcarriers and selects subcarriers without activity for assignment. In an alternative approach, a device that is configured for OFDMA communication may receive a channel assignment from a device that does not support OFDMA. The OFDMA-capable device may use only a portion of the subcarriers in the assigned channel, which may be communicated to the non-OFDMA device. During the non-OFDMA device may then ignore unused subcarriers in error detection and correction to avoid incorrectly classifying communications as erroneous. Information about OFDMA capabilities, subcarrier assignments and subcarriers in use may be communicated as information elements in network control communications, such as beacons and probe messages.

The control signaling may be a combination of physical layer (PHY) and medium access control layer (MAC) communicated information.
