Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and apparatus for controlling transmission power levels of multiple different data streams transmitted from at least one or above base stations to a mobile station in a mobile radio communication system. SOLUTION: The first and second data streams are transmitted from the base station and received by the mobile station. A power control command stream is formed in the mobile station according to either the first or second received data stream. A power control signal is formed in the mobile station from the first power control command stream and transmitted to the base station. The power control command stream received from the received power control signal is formed in the base station, and the transmission power levels of the first and second data streams from the base station are controlled according to the received power control command stream.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and apparatus for attaining duplicate detection and re-ordering for a HARQ transmission. SOLUTION: For duplicate detection, a receiver determines whether a decoded packet x for an ARQ channel y is a duplicate packet based on a packet x and a prior decoded packet for the ARQ channel y. For re-ordering, the receiver determines as follows whether a certain earlier packet is still pending on any other ARQ channel based on prior decoded packets for the ARQ channels, and forwards the packet x only if there are no pending earlier packets. There are no pending earlier packets on another ARQ channel z if (1) a decoded packet has been received on an ARQ channel z at a designated time or later, or (2) a decoded packet has not been received on the ARQ channel z within a time window from current time.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To transmit voice/data and packet data services such that packet data transmissions have less impact on voice/data transmissions. SOLUTION: Voice/data and packet data are multiplexed within a transmission interval such that available resources are efficiently utilized. The amount of variation in the total transmit power from a base station is controlled to reduce degradation to transmissions from this base station and other base stations. A first data type (e.g., voice, overhead, and some data) and a second data type are respectively processed in accordance with first and second signal processing schemes to generate first and second payloads, respectively. First and second partitions 342b, 344 are then defined in a transmission interval. The first and the second payloads are time multiplexed into the first and the second partitions, respectively, and the multiplexed payloads are transmitted. COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and apparatus for providing orthogonal spot beams, sectors and picocells. SOLUTION: Orthogonal auxiliary pilots and different Walsh traffic channels in adjacent areas are used to make transmission orthogonal. Designating the 64-chip all zeros Walsh sequence as P and the 64-chip all ones sequence as M, additional pilot signals are provided by concatenating the all zeros P and the all ones M sequences. Thus, for two pilot signals, pilot Walsh sequences of PP and PM can be used. For four pilot signals, pilot Walsh sequences of PPPP, PMPM, PPMM, and PMMP can be used. In general, the required number of pilot Walsh sequences can be generated by substituting each bit in a K-bit Walsh sequence with the 64-chip all zeros P and all ones M sequence, depending on the value of that bit.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and apparatus for providing link quality feedback to a transmitter. SOLUTION: In one embodiment, a periodic link quality message is transmitted on a gated channel, while continuous differential indicators are transmitted. Between quality messages, the differential indicators track the quality of the link. In one embodiment, a parity check is provided with the quality message. In another embodiment, the frequency of transmission for the quality message is determined by the channel quality. When the receiver anticipates reception of a transmission, the quality messages are generated; else the quality messages are halted. COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and an apparatus improved for supplying diversity transmission to a receiver. SOLUTION: A transmitting station used to communicate with the receiver has a first and a second antennas (34 and 36) and repeatedly switches between the two antennas (34 and 36) during transmitting information to the receiver. Transmission of the information is initiated from the first antenna (34), and when it is terminated, the transmission of the information obtained from the second antenna (36) is initiated. Likewise, after the information obtained from the second antenna (36) is transmitted, the transmission of the information obtained from the first antenna (34) continues. This "swapping" of the antennas continues until a transfer of the information ends. The antenna swapping results in the diversity transmission which improves the ability of the receiver for receiving encoded and interleaved information transmitted from the transmitting station. An interleaver disperses encoded symbols during existing time of each antenna so as that decoder decision is based on a mix of symbols from the antennas. COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an efficient and accurate method of providing link quality feedback to a transmitter in a communication system that optimizes use of available bandwidth. SOLUTION: The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for providing link quality feedback to a transmitter. In one embodiment, a periodic link quality message is transmitted on a gated channel, while continuous differential indicators are transmitted. Between quality messages, the differential indicators track the quality of the link. The periodic quality messages provide synchronization to the transmitter and receiver. A coding is applied to the feedback information identifying the transmitter. In one embodiment, a remote station includes a differential analyzer to determine the change in successive channel quality measurements. In an alternate embodiment, link quality feedback information is gated according to channel condition. COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a time offset technique for increasing the capacity of a CDMA system. SOLUTION: In a method for limiting a peak transmission power region in a CDMA communication system by transmitting a first communication signal having a first high transmission power region and transmitting a second communication signal having a second high transmission power region, the first and second communication signals are time offset to prevent the first and second high transmission power regions from occurring simultaneously. Time shifting of only a portion of the first and second communication signals is also taught. The first and second communication signals can also include respective first and second low transmission power regions. The time offset can be selected to align one of the first and second high transmission power regions with one of the first and second low transmission power regions. The total transmission power signal can be determined and the time offset can be selected to minimize the peak level of the total transmission power signal. COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide techniques for multiplexing and transmitting high-speed packet data so as to provide less impact on voice/data transmissions. SOLUTION: Voice/data and packet data can be multiplexed within a transmission interval such that the available resources are efficiently utilized. The amount of variation in the total transmit power from a base station is controlled to reduce degradation to transmissions from this and other base stations. In a specific method for concurrently transmitting a number of types of data, a first data type (e.g. voice, overhead, and some data) and a second data type are respectively processed in accordance with the first and second signal processing schemes to generate the first and second payloads, respectively. The first and second partitions are then defined in a transmission interval. The first and second payloads are time multiplexed into the first and second partitions, respectively, and the multiplexed payloads are transmitted. COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT
