Abstract:
A wireless communication network entity (400) and a method therein wherein data is encoded using an error correcting code to form a first codeword, for example, a cyclic redundancy code, including redundancy. A second codeword is generated by encoding additional data on a portion of the first codeword, wherein the portion of the first codeword on which the additional data is encoded being within an error correction capability of the first codeword.

Abstract:
A wireless communication network (100) wherein a network entity assigns one or more symbol vectors to each of a plurality of communication entities in the network for substantially simultaneous communication on a common time frequency radio resource also assigned to the plurality of communication entities. The vectors assigned to the multiple entities may be common or unique or both.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus is provided for transmitting an orthogonal frequency domain multiple access (OFDMA) signal including a synchronization channel signal transmitted within a localized portion of a bandwidth of the OFDMA signal (818), the synchronization channel signal having predetermined time domain symmetry within the localized portion of the bandwidth (816) and including information for providing at least partial cell identification information (812). The synchronization channel signal enables an initial acquisition and cell search method with low computational load which provides OFDMA symbol timing detection and frequency error detection (1112) and frame boundary detection and cell specific information detection (1114) in an OFDMA system supporting multiple system bandwidths, both synchronized and un-synchronized systems, a large cell index and an OFDMA symbol structure with both short and long cyclic prefix length.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for handling a difference between a first and second message prior to decoding is disclosed. The signaling scenario illustrated by FlG. 1 and using the codeword properties defined herein, the various 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.

Abstract:
A method in a wireless communication network (100) wherein information is communicated in a frame structure wherein each frame includes multiple sub-frames, including grouping at least two wireless communication terminals in a group, assigning the group to less than all sub-frames constituting a communication frame, and assigning a radio resource assignment control channel of one or more assigned sub-frames to the group. The control channel is used to assign radio resources to one or more terminals of the group.
Abstract:
A method in a transmitter for data collision avoidance in an uncoordinated frequency hopping communication system is disclosed. The base station (104) first determines (304) that a first data set to be sent to a first device (105) and a second data set to be sent to a second device (107) are scheduled to be transmitted simultaneously on a first frequency of a frequency hop-set. The device then transmits (310) the first data set on the first frequency of the frequency hop-set. The base station delays (312) transmission of the second data set, and finally transmits (316) the second data set on a second frequency of a frequency hop-set.
