Abstract
In a multicasts wireless telecommunication system providing an aggregation of one or more independent data components as a flow, wherein the OIS is located at the latch point of the beginning of the superframe, and the OIS programming is latched at the superframe boundary, the improvement of deriving signal parameter information from Signaling Parameter Channel (SPC) symbols transmitted in a Forward Link only (FLO) network by deriving a time domain channel estimate by assuming each of the combinations for the signal parameter field in the scrambler seed and picking the signal parameter combination that yields the most energy in the time domain above a threshold value.

22. A computer-readable medium comprising instructions which, when executed by the machine, cause the machine to perform operations including:
-
a) collecting one or more periods of the SPC samples in the domain; b) performing an FFT on the collected time domain samples in a) to obtain the corresponding frequency domain pilot samples; c) selecting one of several possibilities for the signal parameter information in the scrambler seed and descrambling the frequency domain pilot samples obtained in b); d) performing extrapolation in the frequency domain to extend the pilot observations so that the total number of observations is a power of 512; e) performing a 512 point IFFT operation on the extrapolated frequency domain samples obtained in d) to get a time domain channel estimate corresponding to the selected scrambler seed; f) selecting an energy threshold and computing the sum of the energy of all the time domain channel taps that exceed the threshold; g) repeating steps c) through f) with all possible combinations of the signal parameter field in the scrambler seed; and h) determining the signal parameter combination that results in the maximum energy in g) as the transmitted signal parameter information.
