Abstract:
Un sistema (100) de comunicación inalámbrica que incluye una entidad de programación que transmite mensajes de programación en la primera y segunda terminales inalámbricas que tienen diferentes características de programación, en donde cada mensaje de programación incluye un indicador de desplazamiento cíclico de señal de referencia y una asignación de recursos. La asignación del recurso de realimentación de enlace descendente a la primera terminal inalámbrica se indica por el indicador de desplazamiento cíclico de señal de referencia en el mensaje de programación correspondiente, y la asignación del recurso de realimentación de enlace descendente a la segunda terminal inalámbrica, se indica por una asignación de recursos correspondiente.
Abstract:
An improved turbo code based incremental redundancy includes a first step of puncturing a data stream for a first transmission to provide a set of first unpunctured trellis sections. A next step includes puncturing a data stream for a second transmission to provide a set of second unpunctured trellis sections. A next step includes incremental redundancy combining the first and second transmissions of the trellises to provide non-adjacent first and second unpunctured trellis sections. The above arrangement results in a uniform distribution of punctured and unpunctured bits to provide lower errors.
Abstract:
Various gain factors for pilot information are used to determine a corresponding plurality of likely channel performance values for a plurality of data channels (and/or services). The resultant information is used to select a specific gain factor to apply when transmitting the pilot information. In one embodiment, the gain factor that correlates to the highest signal to interference plus noise ratio is used.
Abstract:
A method to provide a nominal best effort data rate based on a Quality of Service (QoS) requirement of a user data connection, the method comprising assigning ( 105 ) a service priority based on the QoS requirement, and assigning ( 110 ) the nominal best effort data rate for the service priority using a predetermined function. Further, it comprises of a method to determine a scheduling priority value for a user data connection by providing a relative fairness. Furthermore, the method comprises a method to satisfy a delay requirement for a delay sensitive data connection through a scheduling.

Abstract:
To address the need for a resource allocation scheme that results in a bette r tradeoff between cell-edge performance and overall spectral efficiency, a communication system (100) is provided that allocates uplink transmit power to user equipment (UEs) (102, 104) based on a fractional power control scheme (300). In another embodiment, since the cell-edge users are also likely to be power limited, the communication system may implement a minimized uplink transmission bandwidth resource allocation scheme (404, 406, 408, 410, 412, 414) that may work with the fractional power control scheme to achieve a level of performance desired fo r uplink transmissions in 3GPP (Third Generation Partnership Project) and 3GPP2 Evolution communication systems.
Abstract:
A system ( 100 ) and methods ( 400, 500 ) for alerting user equipment devices ( 116 ) in a wireless communication network ( 102 ) to broadcasts while limiting the amount of power that must be consumed in order to ascertain if the user equipment devices ( 116 ) have subscribed to the broadcasts are provided. A communication indicator ( 300 ) that is compatible with UMTS protocols and includes, in addition to paging indicators, one or more broadcast category indicator codes ( 304 ) is provided. Devices receiving the communication indicator ( 300 ) are able to ascertain based on the broadcast category indicator codes ( 304 ) whether there is a need to expend further power in determined whether they are subscribed to the broadcast.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to methods of operation of a communication device and to corresponding communication devices. In particular the inventi on relates to a first method of operation of a communication device, wherein so me pilot bits associated with data bits are transmitted with a power at least partly dependent on the data rate at which the data bits are transmitted. At the base station, power control is carried out only on pilot bits with constant power, whereas channel estimation is carried out on all pilot bits.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the present invention provide a manner in which feedback from remote units (120-122) involved in a broadcast / multicast service session can be obtained using shared wireless resources and/or shared signaling sequences. Having feedback information from at least some of the remote units involved in the session enables the network equipment (101) to dynamically manage the session and potentially improve the performance of the session. Moreover, utilizing shared wireless resources and/or shared signaling sequences may reduce the overhead cost of obtaining the feedback as compared to utilizing dedicated resources.
