Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide dynamic channelization code allocation. SOLUTION: Techniques for efficient allocation of channelization codes are disclosed. In one aspect, a dedicated data channel is partitioned into a primary channel and a secondary channel (610). The rate of the primary channel is a relatively low fixed rate. The rate of the secondary channel varies over time in accordance with the rate of the dedicated channel data. In another aspect, a channelization code indicator is transmitted in the primary channel to identify the secondary channel. In yet another aspect, more than one secondary channel may be deployed. Various other aspects are also presented. These aspects have the benefit of efficient code allocation, resulting in increased support for users and/or channels, as well as increased system capacity.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide multi-media broadcast and multicast services (MBMS) in a wireless communications system. SOLUTION: In one aspect, processing data for transmission to a plurality of terminals are provided. Frames of information bits (which may have variable rates) are provided to a buffer implementing a matrix. The matrix is padded with padding bits based on a particular paging scheme to support variable frame rates. The frames are then coded based on a particular block code to provide parity bits. The frames of information bits and the parity bits are then transmitted to the terminals. In another aspect, a method is provided for controlling the transmit power of a data transmission to a plurality of terminals. TPC streams are received from the terminals and processed to obtain a stream of joint power control commands used to adjust the transmit power of the data transmission. COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable an efficient operation of acknowledgement in a wireless communication system. SOLUTION: Firstly, a reverse supplemental channel (R-SCH) frame is received in a base station. Then, the base station transmits an acknowledgement (ACK) signal when the quality of the received R-SCH frame is shown to be good. A negative acknowledgement (NAK) signal is transmitted only when having sufficient energy enough to enable correct decryption of the data frame when being combined with energy from data frame retransmission while the received data frame is shown to be bad. When the best base station is known, the transmission of the acknowledgement signal for the best base station can be reversed so that only the NAK signal is transmitted. At the time of an absence of the acknowledgment, an affirmative acknowledgement is regarded to exist. It is performed to minimize a transmission output request. COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and an apparatus for coordinating time duration for searching a substitute system, by which a mobile station performs hard handoff. SOLUTION: As for tuning in a substitute frequency in order to search indication of existence of a substitute system, a mobile station receives an instruction, which directs the mobile station. Predetermined time duration is defined for a reference point of time duration in common for both an origination base station and the mobile station. Then, the mobile station tunes in the substitute frequency and performs search during only the predetermined time. The mobile station coordinates a transmission report, which displays the searched result of the substitute system, in a way that the report may be transmitted from the mobile station when the mobile station tunes in the initiation frequency.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce control overhead to adjust transmission rates.SOLUTION: A first signal indicates an acknowledgement of a decoded subpacket and whether or not a rate control command is generated, and a second signal conditionally indicates the rate control command when one is generated. In another aspect, a grant is generated concurrently with the acknowledgement. In yet another aspect, a mobile station monitors the first signal, conditionally monitors the second signal as indicated by the first signal, and may monitor a third signal comprising a grant. In yet another aspect, one or more base stations transmit one or more of the various signals.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and apparatus for transmitter re-initialization in a wireless communication system 810.SOLUTION: When a communication link between a mobile station 38 and a base station 32 is in trouble, the mobile station and an infrastructure arrange with potential rescue base stations 34 in advance. The mobile station 38 disables a transmitter during the rescue process. On recovery, the transmit power level of the transmitter is incremented for transmission of a pilot strength measurement message until a hand-off direction message is received. The transmit power level is incremented to a maximum value.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and apparatus for reducing transmission delay in a wireless communication system that sends packetized voice and data information. SOLUTION: Interruptions in traffic channels cause loss of synchronization between a header compressor and a header decompressor. Rather than transmitting resynchronization information on a traffic channel, the information dropped by an interruption is retransmitted on a non-traffic channel in parallel with the traffic channel. At a remote station, information from the traffic channel and the non-traffic channel is reassembled before input into the decompressor. Alternatively, the non-traffic channel can be used to send overflow information, so that a higher average data rate is achieved than the average data rate of the traffic channel alone.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and a system for code coupling data from different base stations in a communication system. SOLUTION: An encoder adds redundancy to the block of an information bit transmitted via different stations in a communication system. Through the redundancy, decoding becomes possible of a symbol received from an information block that is not completely encoded. Symbols received from different stations are combined before decoding. This communication relates to broadcasting or multi-cast communication in a wired or a wireless communication system, and is known as point-to-multipoint communication. COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT
