The present disclosure provides for methods, systems and apparatus related to Variable High Throughput (HT) Control Field. An aspect of the disclosure provides for a method performed by a station (STA). The method includes sending, to a second STA, a message including a frame, the frame including a variable high throughput (HT) control field. The variable HT further includes a first subfield indicating an N number of control IDs, wherein N is equal to or more than one. The variable HT further includes N additional subfields. Each of the N additional subfield includes: a control identifier (ID) field and a control information field associated with the Control ID field. The method further includes receiving, from the second STA, a response.

Variable high throughput control field

The invention provides a method and device for iterative hybrid time-frequency domain block equalization of signals received via a communication channel subject to multipath interference. The equalization method includes frequency-domain equalization of blocks of received signals in a forward path, and time-domain inter-block echo correction and intra-block cyclic echo addition in the feedback path. The invention can be used for equalizing signals transmitted without cyclic prefix and subjected to multi-path interference with long delay spread.

A method and system for communication of information in OFDM format are disclosed. The method employs multi-symbol encapsulation (MSE), wherein multiple OFDM symbols are grouped together in cyclic frames having a single cyclic guard portion, for example a cyclic prefix, with multiple OFDM symbols sandwiched between each two consecutive cyclic guard portions. All OFDM symbols of one frame are equalized together at the receiver in a frequency domain using a single DFT/IDFT operation sequence. Embodiments of the MSE OFDM system are disclosed enabling high bandwidth efficiency, high tolerance to carrier frequency offset and low peak-to-average power ratio.

The invention relates to a transmitter identification system, which utilizes an identification signal embedded into a digital television signal, enabling the transmitter of origin to be identified at a receiving station. Ideally the identification signal is an orthogonal pseudo-random sequence time synchronized to the signal frame structure of the digital television signal. Particularly designed for single frequency networks, identification of the various transmitted signals enables the network to be tuned to eliminate or minimize multi-path effects at certain locations, which receive transmissions from various transmitters.
