Abstract:
In a method of detecting a signal, a control channel associated with a physical channel may be decoded to produce at least one decoding metric. A control channel signal on the control channel may then be detected based on the decoding metric.
Abstract:
A method of multi-path acquisition may include estimating a contribution of acquired users of a first type to a received signal, canceling the estimated contribution from the received signal to generate a resultant signal, and performing multi-path acquisition for users of the first type and users of a second type based on the resultant signal.
Abstract:
A method may include determining whether to use a candidate path in acquiring a signal based on a path energy value at the candidate path and a path energy detection threshold. The path energy detection threshold may be less than a preamble detection threshold, and the preamble detection threshold may be used in detecting whether a candidate path carries a preamble.
Abstract:
A method is provided for controlling communications between a base station and a mobile device. The method comprises determining the actual transmission gap and only discarding slots and/or frames that overlap with the actual transmission gap. Slots and/or frames that overlap with a scheduled transmission gap but are outside the actual transmission gap are transmitted.
Abstract:
Whether a receiver supports blind data channel detection is determined, and transmission of control channel information associated with a data channel is disabled if the determining step determines the receiver is capable of detecting the data channel without the use of control channel information. Data is transmitted to the receiver on the data channel without the control channel information after disabling of the transmission of the control channel information.
Abstract:
In a method of controlling transmit power for a user call migrating between a first entity and a second entity in a base station of a wireless communication system, power control may be performed, as a call of the user is migrated from the first to the second entity, or vice versa, based on an adjustment ratio value. Parameters for balancing transmit power as the user call is migrated from the first entity to the second entity may be selected so that any difference in transmit power does not adversely affect system performance.
Abstract:
A receiver device for use in a wireless communication system (20) includes a rake receiver (32) and an equalizer receiver (34). A controller (36) selects one of the rake receiver (32) or the equalizer receiver (34) for processing a received signal. In some situations, the rake receiver (32) will provide better performance. In other situations, the equalizer receiver (34) will provide better performance. One embodiment includes a plurality of equalizers (34A, 34B). One of the equalizers processes a data packet from a received signal while another one of the equalizers trains for processing a signal from a subsequent scheduled user. Another example embodiment includes controlling an equalizer length based on a delay span or another selected channel metric.
