Abstract

This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatuses for selecting a guard interval for transmission of orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols on an uplink (UL) channel and on a downlink (DL) channel. In some implementations, a transmitting device and a receiving device can estimate channel delay spread (CDS) information for each other's transmit channels, exchange the estimated CDS information with each other, and select a guard interval based on the estimated CDS information exchanged with each other. The transmitting device can transmit a number of OFDM symbols separated by the selected guard interval to the receiving device on the UL channel, and the receiving device can transmit a number of OFDM symbols separated by the selected guard interval to the transmitting device on the DL channel.
