    Abstract: In a wireless communications system, a base station employs a bit error rate (BER) based Reverse Outer Loop Power Control (ROLPC) technique. The ROLPC techniqu e uses either instantaneous or weakly filtered values of the BER for compariso n with a BER target value for adjusting a target signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). The BER target value is varied as a function of a second order statistic (e.g. variance, standard deviation) of the received SNR. In another embodiment, a symbol error count based ROLPC technique uses adaptive SER targets. In particular, a base station uses a 2nd order statistic, e.g., standard deviation (variance), to identify, or act as a signature of, a particular cellular (wireless) communications environment. The base station monitors the standar d deviation of the symbol error count of a received signal (transmitted from a mobile station). The target signal-to-noise ratio ((E b/N0)T) of this received signal is adjusted as a function of the value of the standard deviation and the adjusted (E b/N0)T target is used to provide power control.

    Abstract: The present invention increases the success rate of soft handoffs by enhancing the ability of a mobile-telephone to receive a handoff direction message that identifies the traffic channel being assigned to enable a candidate base station to communicate with the mobile-telephone. Specifically, the aforementioned ability of the mobile-telephone is enhanced by using the candidate base station to transmit the handoff direction message on a communication channel belonging to the candidate base station and being listened to by the mobile-telephone. In situations where signals transmitted from active set base stations have a low signal-to-noise ratio at the mobile-telephone, signals transmitted from the candidate base station may have a higher signal-to-noise ratio at the mobile-telephone. In these situations, the transmission of the HD messages from the candidate base station increases the likelihood that a copy of the handoff direction message will be successfully received by the mobile-telephone, thereby enhancing the success rate of soft handoffs.

    Abstract: In a UMTS (universal mobile telecommunications system) based system, a wireless receiver implements "effective signal-to-noise (E b/N o) based BER estimation." In particular, the wireless receiver comprises a rake receiver, a processor and memory. The rake receiver processes a received signal and provides signa l- to- noise ratio values for each slot of each received frame of the received signal. The processor converts these signal-to-noise ratio values for each received fram e into an effective signal-to-noise ratio value for the received signal. The processor then uses the effective signal-to-noise ratio value as a pointer, or index, into a loo k- up table (stored in the memory) and retrieves a BER estimate therefrom.
