Abstract:
A first signal (74a) and a second signal (74b) are time-offset by a period to. Careful selection of the period to allows the peak-to-average transmit power ratio to be reduced.
Abstract:
A method for limiting peak transmit power in a CDMA communication system by transmitting a first communication signal having a first high transmit power region, and transmitting a second communication signal having a second high transmit power region. A first and a second communication signal are time offset to prevent the first and second high transmit power regions from occurring simultaneously. Time shifting only a portion of the first and seco nd communication signals is also taught. The first and second communication signals can also include respective first and second low transmit power regions. The time offset can be selected to align one of the first and secon d high transmit power regions with one of the first and second low transmit power regions. The total transmit power signal can be determined and the tim e offset can be selected to minimize a peak level of the total transmit power signal.
Abstract:
Techniques for efficient data transmission and reception in a wireless communication system are described. In an aspect, a Node B sends transmissions on a shared data channel to a user equipment (UE) based on at least one parameter assigned to the UE prior to the transmissions. The Node B sends no signaling for the transmissions sent to the UE on the shared data channel. The UE processes the transmissions received from the shared data channel based on the assigned parameter(s). In another aspect, a Node B may send transmissions to a UE in time intervals assigned to the UE. In yet another aspect, a Node B may send transmissions to a UE based on assigned or non-assigned parameters. The Node B sends signaling whenever transmissions are sent with non-assigned parameters. The UE may process a transmission based on parameters obtained from received signaling or the assigned parameters.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus provides for efficient data rate control and power control processes by transmitting a primary and a secondary pilot channel associated with a data channel. The primary and secondary pilot channels are used to improve the SNR-Signal to noise Ratio-, reference phase and amplitude estimates by combining them for the decoding of the data on the data channel. A ratio of power levels of the primary and secondary pilot channels is based on at least one of the data rate and payload size of the data channel. The power level of the primary pilot channel is maintained independent of at least one of data rate and payload size of the data channel. The power level of the secondary pilot channel may be adjusted based on at least one of data rate and payload size of the data channel. Based on the comparison between the calculated data rate of the data channel and a predetermined value, a determination is done, whether the transmission of the primary and the secondary common pilot channel is necessary.
Abstract:
An efficient use of communication resources is provided by determining a behavior for selecting the payload size (data rate) of a reverse link transmission from a mobile station to a base station. The mobile station may store a predetermined table including the ratio of the power levels of the traffic channel and pilot channel (TPR), where each entry corresponds to a size of data payload, and consequently a data rate for transmission in a predetermined time frame. The payload size is selected based on an authorized-TPR. The authorized-TPR and a target-TPR are adjusted in accordance with TPR commands received from the base station. A fast-ramp-up adjustment of the authorized-TPR is carried out when the authorized-TPR is less than the target-TPR. The down TPR commands are ignored in the adjustments of the authorized-TPR upon fast-ramp-up mode.
Abstract:
Embodiments disclosed herein address the need in the art for an extended acknowledgment/rate control channel. In one aspect, an acknowledgment command and a rate control command are combined to form a combined command. In another aspect, the combined command is generated in accordance with a constellation of points, each point corresponding to a pair consisting of a rate control command and an acknowledgment command. In yet another aspect, the points of the constellation are designed to provide the desired probability of error for the respective command pairs. In yet another aspect, a common rate control command is transmitted along with a combined or dedicated rate control command. Various other aspects are also presented. These aspects have the benefit of reduced overhead while providing acknowledgment and rate control to single remote stations and/or groups of remote stations.
Abstract:
Method and apparatus for performing power control on the power control commands transmitted on a forward link in a wireless communication system (20). The power level of the power control bits on the forward link are adjusted in response to power commands received on the reverse link. The mobile station measures the power level of the adjusted power control bits to measure the quality of the forward link.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for wireless communications wherein a base station (102) transmits a signal to sending data to a subscriber station (108) through a signal beam (110) that sweeps through the coverage area of the base station (102). User data addressed to the subscriber station (108) is buffered until the signal beam angle of the signal (110) beam allows efficient transmission. The base station (102) may alter the beam sweep speed or the shape of the beam's radiation pattern (106) over time to maximize system efficiency and capacity.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for maximizing the use of available capacity in a communication system having a base station and a plurality of mobile stations. The forward link in the mobile radio system includes a plurality of traffic streams sent on at least one channel from the base station to the mobile stations. The forward link is subject to a maximum power ceiling. A first output power level associated with simultaneously transmitting a first set of one or more traffic streams from the base station to the mobile stations on the forward link is initially determined. Next, the first output power level is compared to the maximum power ceiling. In response to the comparing step, at least one time frame in the forward link having available capacity for transmitting a portion of at least one further traffic stream is identified. The first set of traffic streams and the portion of the at least one further traffic stream are then transmitted simultaneously during the at least one frame on the forward link.
