Jump structures for broadband pilot signals

摘要

A method (500) to define a hopping pattern the broadband pilot signal in a wireless communications network, comprising: reserving a share of available bandwidth for transmitting broadband pilot data; generating (506) one hopping pattern broadband pilot signal for a device that specifies the hop from one or more blocks of frequency resources reserved portion of bandwidth according to a periodicity configured for the device, wherein said periodicity is configured based at least in part, to the activity level of the device; and assigning (508) the hopping pattern the broadband pilot signal device.
