Abstract:
The present invention provides a method for using uplink reference signals for access grant requests. The method includes determining at the base station that at least one mobile unit is requesting access to at least one uplink channel based on information indicative of a change in a masking sequence applied to at least one reference signal. Another embodiment of the present invention includes providing by a mobile station a first reference signal modulated by a first masking sequence to indicate a request for access to at least one uplink channel.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a method for coordinating control of radio resources for multicast/broadcast services in distributed radio resource management. One exemplary embodiment of the method may include communicating information between a plurality of units having radio resource management responsibilities. The communicated information is related to coordinating at least one multicast/broadcast service provided by 1he plurality of units.
Abstract:
A plurality of decoding metrics for a current frame may be generated based on a correlation set for a current frame and a correlation set for at least one previous frame. Whether a signal is present on a control channel may then be determined based on the generated decoding metrics.
Abstract:
In a method of detecting a signal, a control channel associated with a physical channel may be decoded to produce at least one decoding metric. A control channel signal on the control channel may then be detected based on the decoding metric.
