Abstract:
A method and apparatus is disclosed for minimizing multipath interference in wireless communication systems. A system comprises at least one transmitter and at least one receiver. In the transmitter, transmission beam parameters are dynamically modified using pseudo-random dithering or a sweeping function. The receiver receives an information signal regarding beam parameters or monitors the beam parameters and adjusts its receiving parameters accordingly to optimize its communication link. In an alternate embodiment, the receiver generates and sends feed back information to the transmitter wherein the feed back information may be used to modify beam parameters or perform other functions.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for downloading and uploading digital data using a dual-mode wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU). When in a first mode, the WTRU communicates with a first network, such as a universal mobile telecommunication system (UMTS). While the WTRU is in the first mode, a user of the WTRU may request the transfer of data to or from the WTRU, (i.e., a download or an upload). The user of the WTRU may also specify whether the data transfer is to occur when the WTRU is in the first mode, or in a second mode when the WTRU is communicating with a second network, such as a wireless local area network (WLAN). The data transfer may occur on a real-time basis or at a later time. In an alternative embodiment, predetermined criteria may be established for implementing automatic WTRU mode selection when data is transferred.

The device determines interaction patterns of the user with the device. The device uses the determined interaction patterns to determine adjustments for the electronic device. The electronic device is adjusted using the determined adjustments.
Abstract:
A first detector receives a received signal and extracts the data signals from the received signal. A hard decision converter converts soft symbols outputted by the first detector into hard symbols. An interference canceller extracts the voice signals from the received signal. A second detector is connected to the output of the interference canceller, and extracts the individual voice signals. The second detector is a different detector type than the first detector.
Abstract:
A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) (10) has multiple receivers (12a, 12b) with an interface to combine received signals (20) to provided enhanced reception. A control unit (30) selectively controls the powering of the receivers to limit power consumption based on selected parameters.
Abstract:
A CDMA modem includes a modem transmitter having: a code generator which provides an associated pilot code signal and which generates a plurality of message code signals; a spreading circuit which produces a spread-spectrum message signal by combining each of the information signals with a respective one of the message code signals; and a global pilot code generator that provides a global pilot code signal to which the message code signals are synchronized. The CDMA modem also includes a modem receiver having an associated pilot code generator and a group of associated pilot code correlators for correlating code-phase delayed versions of the associated pilot signal with a receive CDM signal to produce a despread associated pilot signal. The code phase of the associated pilot signal is changed responsive to an acquisition signal value until a pilot signal is received. The associated pilot code tracking logic adjusts the associated pilot code signal in phase responsive to the acquisition signal so that the signal power level of the despread associated pilot code signal is maximized. Finally, the CDMA modem receiver includes a group of message signal acquisition circuits, each including a plurality of receive message signal correlators which correlate respective local received message code signal to the CDM signal to produce a respective despread received message signal.
Abstract:
The present invention is related to a method and apparatus for implementing space frequency block coding (SFBC) in an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) wireless communication system. The present invention is applicable to both a closed loop mode and an open loop mode. In the closed loop mode, power loading and eigen-beamforming are performed based on channel state information (CSI). A channel coded data stream is multiplexed into two or more data streams. Power loading is performed based on the CSI on each of the multiplexed data streams. SFBC encoding is performed on the data streams for each of the paired subcarriers. Then, eigen-beamforming is performed based on the CSI to distribute eigenbeams to multiple transmit antennas. The power loading may be performed on two or more SFBC encoding blocks or on each eigenmodes. Additionally, the power loading may be performed across subcarriers or subcarrier groups for weak eigenmodes.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for providing a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) with access to at least one peripheral device, and/or at least one peripheral device associated with an available auxiliary device. The current peripheral device requirements of the WTRU are determined. The radio frequency (RF) environment of the WTRU is scanned to determine if there are any available wireless peripheral devices or wireless auxiliary devices proximate to the WTRU. A determination is also made as to whether there is a wired peripheral device or a wired auxiliary device available. A list of currently available peripheral devices is compiled by scanning at least one peripheral device registry associated with at least one of a wireless auxiliary device and a wired auxiliary device. The list is presented on the WTRU's display and a user selects at least one of the available peripheral devices from the list.
