Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce control overhead to adjust transmission rates.SOLUTION: A first signal indicates an acknowledgement of a decoded subpacket and whether or not a rate control command is generated, and a second signal conditionally indicates the rate control command when one is generated. In another aspect, a grant is generated concurrently with the acknowledgement. In yet another aspect, a mobile station monitors the first signal, conditionally monitors the second signal as indicated by the first signal, and may monitor a third signal comprising a grant. In yet another aspect, one or more base stations transmit one or more of the various signals.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide methods and systems for efficiently performing the blind decoding of downlink signals.SOLUTION: A method comprises: estimating a selected CCE segment in a PDCCH signal; sorting each possible combination of CCEs in the PDCCH in descending order to generate sets each starting with the largest CCE in the set and ending with the smallest CCE in the set; ordering all the sorted sets from the set having the greatest number of elements to the set having the smallest number of elements, or reversely; and performing a reduced search space blind search using elements of the ordered sets, starting with the set having the smallest number of elements.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide techniques for sending traffic data and control information in a wireless communication system.SOLUTION: A transmitter may perform beamforming to send traffic data on M layers based on a precoding matrix, where M may be one or greater. The transmitter may also perform beamforming to send control information on up to M layers based on the same precoding matrix used for the traffic data. The transmitter may send the beamformed traffic data on a first physical channel and may send the beamformed control information on a second physical channel. The transmitter may multiplex the beamformed traffic data and the beamformed control information using time division multiplexing or frequency division multiplexing.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and system for providing hard handoffs between high-speed cells.SOLUTION: A mobile station transmits a plurality of channels including a pilot channel and at least one information channel. A base station determines the adequacy of the transmission energy of a reverse link signal in accordance with received energy of a reverse link pilot signal. Pilot channel transmission power is retained at a level prior to a frequency search excursion, while increasing the transmission energy of at least one other channel transmitted by the mobile station. In addition, when the mobile station is not capable of increasing the transmission energy of all of the information channels, the mobile station generates a ranking of the importance of the different information channels and selectively increases the transmission power of those channels.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To quickly acquire synchronization of a signal in WCDMA communication system. SOLUTION: A method is provided for utilizing variable duration sample accumulation, validity testing of decoder estimates, and parallel decoding of multiple synchronization signals within a PERCH channel. A receiver accumulates the samples necessary to reliably determine slot timing. Until slot timing estimates pass a validity test, samples are accumulated for frame timing estimates. Until frame timing estimates pass a validity test, samples are analyzed so as to determine the pilot offset of the channel. COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a technique for reducing overhead system information between nodes and user equipment (UE).SOLUTION: Among the carriers, it is beneficial to have some special carriers designated by configurations in order to provide synchronization, system information, paging, data and control for multi-carrier enabled UE. Thereby, overhead system information can be reduced. For instance, synchronization and paging for a certain cell are not provided on all carriers. A carrier can provide backward compatibility for single carrier UE for access, synchronization, broadcast, and new control region within data regions of the legacy terminals. Coordination between nodes for selecting anchor carriers that mitigate interference and for transmit power control for non-anchor carriers provide further network performance advantages.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method of sending grant information to mobile devices having single carrier capabilities and/or mobile devices having multicarrier capabilities in a multicarrier wireless communication system.SOLUTION: A method for transmitting grant information comprises: determining grant information including at least resource information to be used; identifying a control region to communicate the grant information as a function of user device capabilities; inserting the grant information in the identified control region; and transmitting the grant information in the identified control region. The grant information can be sent in a legacy control region and/or a non-legacy control region.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide systems and methodologies that facilitate assigning resources for an anchor carrier and an additional carrier with a grant message.SOLUTION: The grant message communicated with an anchor carrier can include resource information for a plurality of carriers. The systems and methodologies facilitate identifying control information for an anchor carrier and/or an additional carrier on the basis of an operating mode. The operating mode is a legacy mode or an extended mode (1102). On the basis of the operating mode, particular resources associated with control regions are monitored for control information for respective anchor carrier(s) or additional carrier(s) (1104).

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an acknowledgment channel driver in a wireless CDMA system.SOLUTION: The forward link acknowledgment channel driver for wireless communications comprises: a block encoder which receives an ACK/NAK message having at least one bit, and operates to encode the ACK/NAK message with a generator matrix to produce a codeword; a first mapper which maps the codeword into a first binary signal; and a first mixer which mixes the first binary signal with a first orthogonal spreading code.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide techniques for performing calibration and beamforming in a wireless communication system.SOLUTION: A node B may periodically perform calibration in each calibration interval with a set of UEs to obtain a calibration vector for the node B. The node B may apply the calibration vector to account for mismatches in the responses of the transmit and receive chains at the node B. The node B may perform beamforming to a UE by taking into account gain imbalance for multiple antennas at the UE. The node B may determine a precoding matrix for beamforming by taking into account gain imbalance due to (i) different automatic gain control (AGC) gains for receive chains at the UE, (ii) different power amplifier (PA) gains for transmit chains at the UE, and/or different antenna gains for multiple antennas at the UE.
