Abstract:
A method and apparatus for broadcast subscription management in a mobile station (110) comprises sending (302) a subscriber identifier, which may be for example an international mobile station identifier and a radio receiver identification with a transmitter of the mobile station to a wireless communications network (100). The mobile station receives, from a Broadcast Network Operator (187), through the wireless communications network, a shared secret key. The mobile station authenticates (306) a broadcast radio receiver of the mobiles station or broadcast data received from the broadcast network operator with the shared secret key.
Abstract:
A mobile device estimates a data symbol from a received signal by using one or more interference cancellation algorithms. For one interference cancellation algorithm, the mobile device calculates (302) a Channel State Information (CSI) of an interfering sector and calculates (304) a CSI of a serving sector at a different time. The mobile device then determines (310) a correction factor to the CSI of the interfering sector by, for example, estimating a Doppler speed and a time difference between a first time interval like a preamble symbol and a second time interval like any symbol of interest in the data zone. Using the correction factor, the mobile device updates outdated interference information. The mobile device can cancel interference in the received signal distorted by co-channel interference by using the updated interference information. Also, the mobile device can be configured to combine results of multiple interference cancellation algorithms based on the applicability of the individual interference cancellation algorithms in particular scenarios.

Abstract:
An apparatus and method for receiving a message stream on a channel (140). A message (160) is received (320) on the channel. Information regarding the bits of a successfully decoded message is added (340) to a message attributes list (275) if the message is successfully decoded. An attempt is made to decode (330) a subsequent message based on the information in the message attributes list.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for handling a difference between a first and second message prior to decoding is disclosed The signaling scena&pgr;o illustrated by FIG 1 and using the codeword properties defined herein, the vanous embodiments may combine multiple messages under the hypothesis that the value of a message portion corresponding to any subsequent observed transmission is different Accordingly, a first set of observations (LLR's) (601 ) may be compared with a second or subsequent set of observations (603), and if the observations are found sufficiently similar, may be further compared in the context of a hypothesized difference (607) in constituent message information words Once any difference in information words is identified, the second or subsequent set of observations may be combined (611) with the first set of observations after suitable arithmetic processing, and prior to further decoding.
