Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide techniques for selecting transmit formats in a manner to account for the degrees of resource reuse for multiple data streams sent simultaneously from multiple antennas. SOLUTION: The degree of resource reuse for each data stream indicates the amount of reuse of resources (e.g., orthogonal codes or subcarriers) observed by the data stream. Interference estimates for the multiple data streams are derived based on an initial resource assignment. The degrees of resource reuse are determined based on the interference estimates and are used to derive at least one correction factor (410). Then, at least one transmit format is selected for the data streams using the at least one correction factor (420). In accordance with a transmit format that indicates the amount of resources in use for the data stream and other parameters, resources are assigned to each data stream (430).

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To modify gain tables for reverse-link communications, in a cdma2000 wireless communication network. SOLUTION: A method of modifying gain tables for the reverse-link communications, in a cdma wireless communication network includes steps 102, 106 of estimating the velocity of a mobile station for a given frame error rate (FER) and a data rate; and steps 104, 108, 110 of providing three gain options, based on the estimated velocity to specify a reverse-link transmission power level. Velocity estimation is performed, by using a level-crossing technique, a covariance approximation technique, or a Doppler spectrum estimation technique. COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,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 methods and apparatus for scheduling data packet transmissions during optimal channel conditions. SOLUTION: Data packet retransmissions are scheduled for transmission during favorable channel conditions when the target remote station is moving slowly, but are scheduled for periodic transmissions when the target is moving moderately or fast. In another method, long delays for retransmissions in a channel sensitive timing scheme are eliminated. In other methods, a combination of periodic and aperiodic retransmissions are used to achieve the desired frame error rate. COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
A method provides a wireless frame protocol. The method includes communicating a transmission interval that facilitates switching between a downlink portion and an uplink portion of a wireless communications channel. The method employs one or more guard periods during the transmission interval to mitigate overlap of transmitting frequencies between the downlink and uplink portions of the wireless communications channel.
Abstract:
Techniques for performing calibration and beamforming in a wireless communication system are described. In an aspect, a Node B may periodically perform calibration in each calibration interval with a set of UEs to obtain a calibration vector for the Node B. The Node B may apply the calibration vector to account for mismatches in the responses of the transmit and receive chains at the Node B. In another aspect, the Node B may perform beamforming to a UE by taking into account gain imbalance for multiple antennas at the UE. The Node B may determine a precoding matrix for beamforming by taking into account gain imbalance due to (i) different automatic gain control (AGC) gains for receive chains at the UE, (ii) different power amplifier (PA) gains for transmit chains at the UE, and/or (iii) different antenna gains for multiple antennas at the UE.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus for processing and generating broadcast messages determined by a subband and OFDM symbols of frames in which signals are received. Overhead messages indicating resources used by broadcast messages in a wireless communication system are generated. Signals are received over a wireless system and broadcast messages are determined from the signals as designated by a subband and OFDM symbols of frames of an ultraframe in which signals are received.
Abstract:
A method for power control in a wireless communication system. An initial transmission of a data frame in the reverse link is received, and a first energy level of the data frame is measured. An energy deficit in the first energy level is then measured if the first energy level is insufficient to correctly decode the data frame, so that when the data frame is retransmitted with a second energy level equal to a difference between the first energy level and the energy deficit, the data frame can be correctly decoded with combined energy of the first energy level and the second energy level.
Abstract:
In a communication system wherein packetized data is transmitted to remote stations in a channel sensitive manner, a preamble must be transmitted with each discrete data transmission to the remote station. Method and apparatus are presented herein for generating an optimized preamble structure for use with transmissions of packetized data. An optimized preamble structure is one that is easily detectable and decodable, yet occupies a small fractional overhead of the entire transmission to the remote station. Information that needs to be carried bz a preamble are used to create a basic structural unit, which is then redundantly permuted.
Abstract:
Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate assigning resources for an anchor carrier and an additional carrier with a grant message. The grant message communicated with an anchor carrier can include resource information a plurality of carriers. Moreover, the systems and methodologies that facilitate identifying control information for an anchor carrier and/or an additional carrier based upon an operating mode, wherein the operating mode is a legacy mode or an extended mode. Based on the operating mode, particular resources associated with control regions are monitored for control information for respective anchor carrier(s) or additional carrier(s).
