Embodiment Construction

[0056] In short, existing schemes are deficient in that they fail to provide frequency diversity and interference randomization for each case of interest across multiple different cells of an OFDM system. An alternative is to interleave the mini-CCEs individually for each OFDM symbol. In such a case, if three OFDM symbols are used to transmit PHICH, PCFICH, and PDCCH, then three different symbol group permutations can be used to obtain measures of interference randomization and frequency diversity. Example interleaving and cyclic shifting patterns that result in relatively good frequency diversity and interference randomization when used on a per OFDM symbol basis are described herein below in particular with respect to the first and second embodiments.

[0057] The following example provides an explanation of why interleaving and cyclic shift patterns are chosen with a certain degree of care. This example relates to a control channel for an LTE system with four transmit ante...

Abstract

Control channel information is formulated for transmission in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems. In an example embodiment, a method entails formulating control channel information for a transmitting device operating in an OFDM system in which a control channel spans n OFDM symbols, with n being an integer. The method includes acts of allocating, creating, and mapping. Control channel data is allocated to at least one set of resource element groups. At least one order for the set of resource element groups is created in accordance with one or more permutation mechanisms that involve at least one interleaving sequence having a low cross-correlation property. The set of resource element groups is mapped to resource elements of the n OFDM symbols of the control channel responsive to the order that is created using the permutation mechanism(s). The permutation mechanisms may include interleaving sequence(s) and / or cyclic shift(s).
