20120034949	SIGNAL TRANSMISSION PARAMETER CONTROL USING CHANNEL SOUNDING - A base station (BTS) may instruct a client station (CS) to transmit sounding signals that the BTS may analyze to determine what adjustments, such as power, time, and/or frequency adjustment(s) should be made by the CS. The BTS may control when and how the sounding signals are sent by the CS. This helps reduce the possibility of adjustment signals transmitted by two or more CSs colliding. Thus, sounding signals transmitted by the CS in response to a request by the BTS can be received by the BTS with higher a probability of success. This permits the BTS to more accurately characterize the channel and to provide better adjustment of power level, frequency offset, and/or timing offset for more optimal communication. Such techniques can be used to reduce bit error rates and to improve the overall signal to noise ratio encountered by the system.	02-09-2012
20120033634	METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR ADAPTIVELY OBTAINING BANDWIDTH ALLOCATION REQUESTS - A method and apparatus for adaptively obtaining bandwidth requests in a broadband wireless communication system. The method and apparatus includes dynamically varying technique combinations enabling a plurality of users to efficiently request bandwidth from a shared base station. A user may “piggyback” a new bandwidth request upon, or set a “poll-me bit” within, presently allocated bandwidth. A base station may poll users, individually or in groups, by allocating unrequested bandwidth for new requests. Polling may respond to a “poll-me bit,” and/or it may be adaptively periodic at a rate based on communication status parameters, such as recent communication activity and connection QoS levels Group polling permits a possibility of collisions. Polling policies may be established for dynamically varying user groups, or may be determined for each user. Dynamic selection of appropriate polling techniques makes use of efficiency benefits associated with each technique.	02-09-2012

20120033598	MBS WITH OUTER CODING AND ADJUSTED FRAME REFERENCE - The subject matter disclosed herein provides methods and apparatus for providing MBS (multicast broadcast service) with outer coding and adjusted frame reference indexing. In one aspect, there is provided a method. The method includes receiving data packets from a network, dividing the data packets into one or more data streams, applying outer encoding on the one or more data streams and providing the one or more encoded data streams to an air interface for transmission to a user equipment over a wireless communication system.	02-09-2012
20120033566	HYBRID FEEDBACK FOR CLOSED LOOP MULTIPLE-INPUT MULTIPLE- OUTPUT - The subject matter disclosed herein provides methods and apparatus for closed loop operation of a wireless system implementing multiple input and multiple output (MIMO). In one aspect, there is provided a method. The method may provide channel estimation feedback to a base station by a user equipment in a wireless communication system. The method includes receiving downlink data from the base station, calculating a digital portion representing a channel parameter estimation of the downlink data, calculating an analog portion representing an error estimation of the digital portion and providing, as feedback, the digital portion and the analog portion to the base station.	02-09-2012
