Abstract:
Techniques for puncturing symbols in a communications system are disclosed. S symbols are received for a frame having a capacity of N symbols, with S being greater than N. P symbols need to be punctured so that remaining symbols fit into the frame. A number of puncture distances, D1 through DN, are computed based on S and P. A particular number of symbol punctures is determined or each computed puncture distance. P1 through PN symbol punctures are then performed at the distances of D1 through DN, respectively. For a more even distribution of the symbol punctures, each of the distances D1 through DN can be selected to be greater than or equal to a minimum puncture distance Dmin defined as D min=[ S/P ], where [ ] denotes a floor operator. The symbol punctures at each computed distance can be performed together or distributed with symbol punctures at other distances. In the alternative, an accumulator is configured to wrap around after it has been incremented to a value of S , each increment being of size P . A symbol index is incremented by one each time the accumulator is incremented by P , until the symbol index exceeds the value S . The progress is advantageously begun with a puncture. Each time the accumulator wraps around, another puncture is performed. As another alternative, puncturing can be combined with symbol repetition.

For a more even distribution of the symbol punctures, each of the distances D1 through DN can be selected to be greater than or equal to a minimum puncture distance Dmin defined as Dmin = [SIP], where [] denotes a floor operator. The symbol punctures at each computed distance can be performed together or distributed with symbol punctures at other distances. In the alternative, an accumulator is configured to wrap around after it has been incremented to a value of S, each increment being of size P. A symbol index is incremented by one each time the accumulator is incremented by P, until the symbol index exceeds the value S. The process is advantageously begun with a puncture.

Abstract:
In a wireless communication system (50) a method for combination transmission of packet data and low delay data. In one embodiment a parallel signaling channel provides a message to receivers (56, 58, 60) indicating a target recipient of packet data. The message also identifies the transmission channels used for packet data transmissions. Each receiver may then selectively decode only packets where the message identifies the receiver as a target recipient. The data packets stored in a buffer are ignored if the target recipient is another mobile unit. In one embodiment, the message is sent concurrently with the data packet on a parallel channel. In one embodiment, the message is punctured into the high rate packet data transmission.

Abstract:
Method and apparatus for providing link quality feedback to a transmitter (32,34). In one embodiment, a periodic link quality message is transmitted on a gated channel, while continuous differential indicators are transmitted. Between quality messages, the differential indicators track the quality of the link. In one embodiment, a remote station includes a differential analyzer (212) to determine the change in successive channel quality measurements. The quality metric and the differential indicator are used for providing power control commands and rate control commands to teh base station. The quality metric and the differential indicator are transmitted at two different frequencies.

Abstract:
A method and apparatus for controlling transmit power levels of a plurality of different data streams (120, 120a, 122, 122a, 124, 124a) transmitted from at least one base station to a mobile station in a mobile radio communication system. The first and second data streams are trasmitted from the base station and received at the mobile station. A stream of power control commands is formed at the mobile station in accordance with either the first or second received data stream. A power control signal is formed at the mobile station from the first stream of power control commands and transmitted to the base station. A received stream of power control commands is formed from the received power control signal at the base station, and the transmit power levels of the first and second data streams from the base station are controlled in accordance with the received stream of power control commands.
