Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a novel and improved method for performing power control of a reverse link. SOLUTION: A reverse-link signal, transmitted at a reverse-link transmission power, includes at least a traffic channel transmitted at a traffic channel transmit power and a pilot channel transmitted at a pilot channel transmit power. The reception energy of the pilot channel is measured in a receiving system, and a decrease power control command is generated, when the reception energy is greater than the reception energy threshold. If the receive energy is smaller than the reception energy threshold, increase of power control command is generated. The power control command is transmitted to the system that generates the reverse-link signal. COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and an apparatus for recovery of particular bits in a frame.SOLUTION: An origination station forms a frame structure with groups of information bits of different importance. All the information bits are then protected by an outer quality metric. Additionally, the groups of more important information bits are further protected by an inner quality metric; each group having a corresponding quality metric. The frame is then transmitted to a destination station. The destination station decodes the received frame and decides, first in accordance with the outer quality metric, whether the frame has been correctly received, or whether the frame is erased. If the fame has been declared erased, the destination station attempts to recover the groups of more important bits in accordance with the corresponding inner quality metrics.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve transmission capacity by utilizing multiple carriers.SOLUTION: For multi-carrier operation, a terminal receives an assignment of multiple forward link (FL) carriers and at least one reverse link (RL) carrier. The carriers may be arranged in at least one group, with each group including at least one FL carrier and one RL carrier. The terminal receives packets on the FL carrier(s) in each group and sends acknowledgements for the received packets via the RL carrier in that group. The terminal sends channel quality indication (CQI) reports for the FL carrier(s) in each group via the RL carrier in that group. The terminal also transmits data on the RL carrier(s). The terminal sends designated RL signaling (e.g., to originate a call) on a primary RL carrier and receives designated FL signaling (e.g., for call setup) on a primary FL carrier.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system and a method for improving the performance of direct-sequence spread-spectrum communication systems. SOLUTION: A system includes at least one communication channel that utilizes two different orthogonal spreading codes and corresponding portions of the available orthogonal code space. Portions of the data processed by the communication channel are demultiplexed (471) into different streams and covered (472, 473) with corresponding, different orthogonal spreading codes. The streams covered by the different orthogonal codes are then combined (475) and transmitted via the same communication channel. One embodiment utilizes at least two different Walsh codes (+- and ++--) of different lengths in order to make use of the three quarters of the Walsh space not utilized by low-rate legacy channels.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for implementing high-speed transmission in an air interface. SOLUTION: A transmit system provides an in-phase channel set 90 and a quadrature-phase channel set 92. The in-phase channel set 90 is used to provide a complete set of orthogonal medium rate control and traffic channels. The quadrature phase channel 92 set is used to provide a high-speed supplemental channel and an extended set of medium rate channels that are orthogonal to each other and the original medium rate channels. The high-speed supplemental channel is generated over a set of medium rate channels using a short channel code. The medium rate channel is generated using a set of long channel codes.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and apparatus for providing orthogonal spot beams, sectors and picocells. SOLUTION: Orthogonal auxiliary pilots and different Walsh traffic channels in adjacent areas are used to make transmission orthogonal. Designating the 64-chip all zeros Walsh sequence as P and the 64-chip all ones sequence as M, additional pilot signals are provided by concatenating the all zeros P and the all ones M sequences. Thus, for two pilot signals, pilot Walsh sequences of PP and PM can be used. For four pilot signals, pilot Walsh sequences of PPPP, PMPM, PPMM, and PMMP can be used. In general, the required number of pilot Walsh sequences can be generated by substituting each bit in a K-bit Walsh sequence with the 64-chip all zeros P and all ones M sequence, depending on the value of that bit.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and an apparatus improved for supplying diversity transmission to a receiver. SOLUTION: A transmitting station used to communicate with the receiver has a first and a second antennas (34 and 36) and repeatedly switches between the two antennas (34 and 36) during transmitting information to the receiver. Transmission of the information is initiated from the first antenna (34), and when it is terminated, the transmission of the information obtained from the second antenna (36) is initiated. Likewise, after the information obtained from the second antenna (36) is transmitted, the transmission of the information obtained from the first antenna (34) continues. This "swapping" of the antennas continues until a transfer of the information ends. The antenna swapping results in the diversity transmission which improves the ability of the receiver for receiving encoded and interleaved information transmitted from the transmitting station. An interleaver disperses encoded symbols during existing time of each antenna so as that decoder decision is based on a mix of symbols from the antennas. COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT
