    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an efficient signal system for supporting the high speed uplink packet access service (HSUPA) for relieving a resource usage amount and an arithmetic processing load.
    SOLUTION: A cellular communication system (100) comprises a first base station (103) which schedules resource for a user equipment (101). When receiving a resource allocation message, the user equipment (101) transmits a first message comprising a transmit indication to a plurality of base stations (103 to 109) wherein the transmit indication is indicative of a subsequent transmission of a second message. The user equipment (101) then proceeds to determine a transmit format for the second message; and to transmit the second message to the plurality of base stations (103 to 109). When receiving the transmit indication, the plurality of base stations (103 to 109) proceed to configure their receivers to receive the second message. The first message may be transmitted in a control channel and the second message may be transmitted in a user data channel.

    Abstract: A detection processor (203) detects retransmission feedback messages (ACK or NACK) 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 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. Application to 3G cellular systems using CDMA and hybrid ARQ.

    Abstract: A method to satisfy a delay requirement for a delay sensitive data connection through a scheduling, the method comprising: setting a discard timer for the delay sensitive data connection; determining an age of a packet corresponding to the delay sensitive service in a priority queue; performing a comparison between the age of a most recently successfully transmitted or time expired data packet with the discard timer setting, to determine whether the age of the compared packet is less than the discard timer setting by a predetermined margin; and calculating a new delay factor for the delay sensitive data connection based on the comparison and an old delay factor of the delay sensitive data connection. Aspects of the invention include the calculating step further comprising setting the new delay factor to a value obtained by increasing the old delay factor by a first predetermined factor and dropping the oldest packet if the age of the oldest packet is not less than the discard timer by a predetermined margin.

    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.
