Abstract:
Various embodiments are provided for determining a set of acceptable transport format combinations for transmission on a current time frame. A set of acceptable modified rate power adjustment values is determined based on a maximum power level, an accumulated power commands and an initial power control command. A set of acceptable channel gain factors is determined based on the set of acceptable modified rate power adjustments values, and the set of acceptable transport format combinations is determined based on the set of acceptable channel gain factors. A possible set of modified rate power adjustment values is associated to a set of channel gain factors for determining the set of acceptable channel gain factors based on various design of a transmitter chain used for transmission of data from the mobile station.
Abstract:
Dynamically control of receive diversity switching in a user equipment (UE) is disclosed. By dynamically controlling the switching between enabling and disabling the receive diversity, power consumption in UEs, such as smart phones and other mobile devices may be reduced. Control is based, at least in part, on measurements for data activity performed by the UE. When the UE finds measurements that would suggest data activity, the UE will switch to enable a receive diversity state when conditions are available for the switch. Similarly, when the UE finds measurements that would suggest data inactivity, the UE will switch to disable the receive diversity state when conditions are available for the switch.

Abstract:
Techniques for filtering noisy estimates to reduce estimation errors are described. A sequence of input values (e.g., for an initial channel impulse response estimate (CIRE)) is filtered with an infinite impulse response (IIR) filter having at least one coefficient to obtain a sequence of output values (e.g., for a filtered CIRE). The coefficient(s) are updated based on the sequence of input values with an adaptive filter, a bank of prediction filters, or a normalized variation technique. To update the coefficient(s) with the adaptive filter, a sequence of predicted values is derived based on the sequence of input values. Prediction errors between the sequence of predicted values and the sequence of input values are determined and filtered to obtain filtered prediction errors. The coefficient(s) of the IIR filter are then updated based on the prediction errors and the filtered prediction errors.
Abstract:
Aspects of the disclosure provide techniques for improving uplink transmit power control at a user equipment (UE). When the UE is communicating with multiple cells using Multi-flow High-Speed Downlink Packet Access (MF-HSDPA), the UE may control its uplink power based on an improved MF-HSDPA uplink power control algorithm, which is different from an or-of-downs (OOD) transmit power control. In handover, a UE may determine its transmit power to be less than a transmit power requested by a high-speed cell and more than an OOD transmit power.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatuses for wireless communication include determining whether to move a receive window by more than a change in an uplink transmit timing of a user equipment (UE). The methods and apparatuses further include moving the receive window by an amount larger than the change in the uplink transmit timing when a determination is made to move the receive window by more than the change in the uplink transmit timing. Moreover, the methods and apparatuses include identifying at least one cell with receive time within the receive window at the UE.

Abstract:
Disclosed are methods and apparatus for predicting a channel quality indicator in a communication system, and in particular a delayed receiver. A disclosed method for determining the predictive channel quality indicator for a delayed receiver includes determining at least one channel quality indicator from a non-delayed receiver. The method also includes determining another channel quality indicator from the delayed receiver, and then calculating the predictive channel quality indicator for the delayed receiver through a function of the channel quality indicators from the non-delayed receiver and the channel quality indicator from the delayed receiver. Corresponding apparatus are also disclosed.

Abstract:
The invention is directed toward a digital VGA that is implemented in the logarithmic domain. The digital VGA exploits logarithmic properties to replace a complex multiplier of a conventional digital VGA with a simple and inexpensive adder. Moreover, additional techniques are described to significantly reduce the size of one or more lookup tables (LUTs) implemented within the digital VGA. In this manner, the invention can realize a simple, low cost digital VGA.
