Abstract:
A method for wireless communications is provided. The method includes applying independent power controls to two or more carriers from a set of high speed packet access signals. The method includes monitoring power across the two or more carriers to determine power levels for the set of high speed packet access signals. The method also includes adjusting at least one of an open loop control, an inner loop control, or an outer loop control in view of the power levels for the set of packet access signals.
Abstract:
Techniques for performing joint detection with a common midamble for downlink transmission are described. In one design, a user equipment (UE) may obtain samples for a burst transmitted by a Node B on the downlink. The burst may include at least one data field and a common midamble. The UE may derive a channel impulse response estimate for each of multiple orthogonal codes based on (i) a channel impulse response estimate derived based on samples for the common midamble and (ii) a traffic-to-pilot ratio (T2P) estimated for that orthogonal code based on the samples for burst. The UE may perform joint detection, for the multiple orthogonal codes, on samples for the at least one data field based on the multiple channel impulse response estimates.
Abstract:
Systems and methodologies are described that effectuate and/or facilitate MAC-hs/ehs resets in an enhanced serving cell. In accordance with various aspects set forth herein, systems and/or methods are provided that identify transmission power control bits included in active set update messages received from source or target base stations, ascertain whether or not transmission power control values included in the active set update messages differ from transmission power control values that the system currently operates under, and performs serving cell changes and where necessary media access control status resets based on an examination of a transmission power control combination index.
Abstract:
Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate providing uplink inter-cell interference cancellation. A radio network controller can receive measurement reports in order to identify non-serving nodes that are receiving interference from user equipment. Based on evaluation of such measurement reports, an interference message can be communicated to a Node B, wherein such measurement report can include information that allows the Node B to cancel or terminate the interference caused by such identified user equipment.
Abstract:
Techniques for supporting UE operation with enhanced uplink are described. A UE may select a first signature from a first set of signatures available for random access for enhanced uplink, generate an access preamble based on the first signature, and send the access preamble for random access while operating in an inactive state. The UE may receive an acquisition indicator (AI) for the first signature on an acquisition indicator channel (AICH) from a Node B. The UE may use a default enhanced dedicated channel (E-DCH) resource configuration for the first signature if the AI has a first predetermined value. The UE may determine an E-DCH resource configuration allocated to the UE based on an extended acquisition indicator (EAI) and a second signature if the AI has a second predetermined value. In any case, the UE may send data to the Node B using the allocated E-DCH resource configuration.
Abstract:
In a wireless communication system in which a user using a mobile equipment requests a serving cell handoff from a source cell to a target cell, the mobile equipment monitors authorization for the handoff from the target cell. At the same time, the mobile equipment can decode data from either the source cell or the target cell. Upon receipt of authorization for the handoff, the mobile equipment sends confirmation of the handoff to the target cell.
Abstract:
Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate implementing a linear adaptive equalizer receiver on the downlink link of a UMTS TDD wireless communication system. A reference signal can be generated based on multiple non-common midamble sequences in a time slot of a received transmission. Traffic-to-pilot ratios for channel codes in the time slot can be generated, and relative strengths of channel codes associated with specific midambles can be determined to weight the midamble. A plurality of the weighted midambles can then be utilized to generate a reference signal to train the equalizer, which can facilitate utilization of total aggregate midamble energy rather than midamble energy associated with a single midamble in the signal.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for bundling signals in a wireless communication system are disclosed. A connection request and a reservation for QoS resources can be bundled into an access message at an access terminal. The access message with the bundled communication signals can then be transmitted to an access network. An application layer (e.g., a DataOverSignaling (DOS)) message can also be bundled with the connection request and the reservation into the access message.
Abstract:
Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate pilot channel optimization schemes for high data rate communications transmissions. In various illustrative implementations, pilot channel operations can be monitored and controlled by an exemplary base station for one or more cooperating wireless terminals (e.g., user equipment) such that one or more power features of the one or more cooperating wireless terminals can be illustratively changed in response to one or more selected pilot channel operational conditions. In an illustrative operation, an exemplary base station can engage one or more selected pilot channel control operations as part of pilot channel optimization comprising a jump detection technique, operating power control on another channel other than the DPCCH, engaging in delayed power control, engaging in a soft-hand off power control in the instance of a boosted pilot channel, and resolving ambiguity in grant messages resulting from a pilot boost.
Abstract:
Techniques for recovering a desired transmission in the presence of interfering transmissions are described. For successive equalization and cancellation (SEC), equalization is performed on a received signal to obtain an equalized signal for a first set of code channels. The first set may include all code channels for one sector, a subset of all code channels for one sector, multiple code channels for multiple sectors, etc. Data detection is then performed on the equalized signal to obtain a detected signal for the first set of code channels. A signal for the first set of code channels is reconstructed based on the detected signal. The reconstructed signal for the first set of code channels is then canceled from the received signal. Equalization, data detection, reconstruction, and cancellation are performed for at least one additional set of code channels in similar manner.
