Abstract:
In a 3GPP standards Release 6 UMTS system, in order to avoid searching at NodeB for a maximum E-DPCCH-associated metric at discrete possible valid index values, or over disjoint possible valid index regions, at the UE the three different sources of information, the fixed number bits that comprise the RSN, TFI and the H-bit components of the E-DPCCH bit field, are mapped so that the decimal equivalents of the possible E-DPCCH indices lie within a continuous range of values.

Abstract:
In a method of detecting whether a transmitted data frame is a discontinuous transmission (DTX) frame, a signal metric corresponding to the transmitted data frame is generated in a decoding operation used to decode the data frame from a signal carrying the frame that is received by a base station receiver. A signal energy of the transmitted data frame is determined based on the signal metric, and used for determining whether the transmitted data frame is a DTX frame.
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:
A method is provided for adjusting timing of transmissions within a wireless communications system. The method comprises receiving a request for a timing adjustment and adjusting timing of a DPCH in a first frame. The timing of at least one of an E-RGCH and an E-HICH is then adjusted in a second frame associated with the first frame.
Abstract:
A method is provided for controlling communications between a base station and a mobile device when transmission gaps occur. The method comprises skipping a transmission that overlaps with the transmission gap. An alternative method comprises postponing the transmission to the next available transmission time.
Abstract:
A method of multi-path acquisition may include estimating a contribution of acquired users of a first type to a received signal, canceling the estimated contribution from the received signal to generate a resultant signal, and performing multi-path acquisition for users of the first type and users of a second type based on the resultant signal.
Abstract:
In the method, a current channel condition is estimated based at least in part on a previous channel quality indicator and power control information received after the previous channel quality indicator.
