Abstract:
Power control bit generation for forward link power control in a spread spectrum communication system is accomplished through modification of a set point threshold. Modification of the set point reduces the number of squaring and division mathematical operations, thus more efficiently utilizing limited system resources in a mobile receiver used in forward link power control.
Abstract:
A method in a communication system ( 100 ) includes transmitting from a source user ( 101 ) a first data packet ( 111 ) over a first time frame ( 121 ) having a finite time period ( 131 ), transmitting from source user ( 101 ) a second data packet ( 112 ) over a second time frame ( 122 ) immediately subsequent to first time frame ( 121 ), detecting an acknowledgment of acceptable reception of data packet associated with either first or said second data packets ( 111 and 112 ), repeating transmission of first and second data packets ( 111 and 112 ) in a sequence of first and second time frames ( 121 and 122 ) in a time frame sequence ( 190 ) until the detection.

Abstract:
A communication system includes a forward link from a base station to multiple mobile units, the forward link having multiple shared channels (SHCH's), multiple shared control channels (SHCCH's), and multiple dedicated pointer control channels (DPTRCH's), and utilizes HARQ error control for error detection and error correction. The mobile unit, when listening to the DPTRCH, uses a SHCCH pointed to by the DPTRCH to demodulate and decode data on the SHCH. Throughput problems may arise in the system when the mobile unit combines and decodes the wrong SHCH data, that is, SHCH data that is intended for a different mobile unit, or may incorrectly decodes SHCH data that is intended for the mobile unit. In order to improve the data throughput of the system, the systems employs a flush test and an energy detector test to prevent improperly decoded data blocks from corrupting properly decoded data blocks.
Abstract:
In a hybrid matrix amplifier array (100), a configurable digital transform matrix (116) is initialize with a matrix of transform coefficients. A plurality of digital input signals (M1-M4) are received at inputs of the configurable digital transform matrix (116). The plurality of digital input signals are transformed to produce a plurality of transform digital signals (A1-A4) using the matrix of transform coefficients. The plurality of transform digital signals are converted to a plurality of transformed analoged signals (206) to produce a plurality of transformed analog signals. The transformed analog signals are amplified (104, 208) to produce amplified transformed signals. Finally, the amplified transformed signals are inverse transformed (102, 210) to produce output signals that correspond to a respective digital input signal (M1-M4). Upon sensing a failure in an amplifier array (104,126) a controller (128) recalls matrix transform coefficients from a memory (130) and write and reconfigures the digital transform matrix (116) to minimize the effects of the amplifier failure at the hybrid matrix amplifier outputs (132).

Abstract:
A mobile station (110) selects an initial data rate for communication between base station (107) and mobile station (110). Mobile station (110) communicates the selected initial data rate to base station (107) through uplink (112). Base station (107) determines a difference level of interference condition experienced by mobile station (107) between a time when the initial data rate was selected by mobile station (110) and a time when base station (107) prepares to communicate to mobile station (110). Base station (107) selects a final data rate for transmission from base station (107) to mobile station (110) based on the determined difference level of interference condition. As such, the initial data rate may be modified to the final data rate while maximizing the down link capacity.
