Patent GB-2516114-A (GB)
Title: Tracking
Inventor: LI WEI
IPC: H04L5/14
Filed: 2013-07-12
Abstract: The present invention relates to bi-directional channel tracking and includes a first network entity allocating S91 a sub-carrier in a frequency domain for transmitting a tone, e.g. a pilot tone, to a second network entity and prohibiting S92 receiving signals on the sub-carrier allocated for transmitting the tone. The first network entity estimates S93 a channel of residual self-interference based on the transmitted tone so that the residual self-interference may be suppressed using a digital baseband canceller. The first network entity may also receive a pilot tone transmitted from the second network entity, which is orthogonal to the pilot tone transmitted by the first network entity, and estimate a channel of a desired signal based on the received pilot tone. Additionally, the first network entity may compute a switching point for switching between channel tracking schemes based on the length of a first frame, to be sent by a second network entity to the first network entity, and the length of a second frame, to be sent from the first network entity to the second network entity (see figure 10).
