    Abstract: An apparatus comprises a detection processor (203) for detecting retransmission feedback messages in response to a detection threshold. A threshold processor (207) determines the detection threshold in response to a noise estimate generated by a noise processor (209). The noise processor comprises a sub-symbol generator (211) which divides a retransmission feedback symbol into a plurality of sub-symbols. Each of the sub-symbols is despread by a spreading code with a lower spreading factor than a spreading factor of the retransmission feedback symbol. A difference generator (213) then generates difference symbol values between the plurality of sub-symbols and a noise estimator (215) generates the noise estimate in response to the difference symbol values, for example by determining the variance of the difference symbol values. An improved noise estimate may be determined resulting in improved detection performance and thus improved retransmission performance.

    Abstract: A beamforming processor (133) determines responses for transmit elements (109-115) and receive elements (125-131) for each antenna elements (101-107) of an antenna array. A channel response processor (205) estimates a channel response for each propagation channel between one of the plurality of antenna elements (101-107) and a remote station in response to a signal received from the remote station. A receive compensation processor (207) compensates the channel responses for the receive elements (125-131) but not the transmit elements (109-115). An Eigen beamforming processor (209) then executes an Eigen beamforming algorithm based on the compensated channel responses. The resulting beamform weights are then compensated for the response of the transmit elements (109-115) in a transmit compensation processor (211). By using a separated two stage compensation for responses of the receive elements (125-131) and the transmit elements (109-115), improved beamforming based on Eigen beamforming can be achieved.

    Abstract: In a Discrete Fourier Transform-Spread Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplex (DFT-SOFDM) transmitter for Evolved-UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access (E-UTRA) signals, each of two cascaded phase rotators 203 and 205 multiply an incoming complex Binary Phase Shift Keyed (BPSK) symbol by some complex value in accordance with different phase rotation constraints in order to prevent transmitters aligning in the In phase/Quadrature (IQ) domain. For example, 203 could output a pi/2 BPSK modulated signal by multiplying by a j, 1, j, 1, ... sequence, which 205 then multiplied by a j, j, j, 1, 1, 1, -1, -1, -1 ... scrambling code, reducing alignment interference and the required amplifier back-off. The symbols are then converted to groups (101) and directly coupled to an M-point DFT (105), without being mapped to constellation as in prior art (103), before entering an N>M-point inverse DFT (107) to retrieve a time domain signal.

    Abstract: During a random access communication opportunity (12), user equipment (20) utilizes either or both of an adaptive modulation and coding-based communication protocol (26) and an HARQ-based communication protocol (27) to achieve improved performance. This can avoid the need to establish dedicated channels (13) to support the required communications. In one embodiment, a plurality of adaptive modulation and coding-based communication protocols ar e provided with a given protocol being selected as a function of one or more governing criteria. For example, the protocol can be selected as a function of a quality condition of the communication path, as a function of a memory buffer, and so forth.
