Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a device and method for transmitting an indicator of channel quality while minimizing the use of a broadcast communication channel.SOLUTION: An access terminal 404 observes transmission from an access point 412 (408); and determines power of transmission that the access terminal receives, and forward link channel quality. The access terminal 404 selects an access sequence randomly from a group corresponding to a determined channel quality value among access sequence groups; and transmits a preamble of the selected access sequence with the channel quality value to the access point 412 (410). On the basis of them, the access point 412 transmits a receipt notification to the access terminal 404 at an adequate power level (416).
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide methods and devices for providing flexible channel information feedback. SOLUTION: The device is provided with a memory and a processor, which is configured to select a type of channel information feedback based on a reporting format of a wireless communication device, and the processor is configured to select the type based on instructions corresponding to the reporting format. The type includes an SDMA CQI and an appropriate segment CQI and further includes an MCW, SCW and SISO CQIs. In some cases, this may be according to reporting types assigned by one or more sectors, with different reporting types for each sector. In other cases, a reporting mode is used to determine the reporting types to be utilized. COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
A plurality of transmission patterns for pilot systems transmitted from a mobile station or base station are provided. Depending upon the frequency selectivity and/or the time selectivity of the channel between the mobile station and the base station, an appropriate pattern is selected. The selected pattern allows for improved receipt of the pilot symbols. In addition, scrambling codes can be applied to the patterns for reducing interference and/or biasing the different mobile stations over the same frequencies and in the same slots.
Abstract:
Noise and interference can be independently measured in a multiple user Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) system. Co-channel interference is measured in a frequency hopping, multiple user, OFDM system by tracking the sub-carriers assigned to all users in a particular service area or cell. The composite noise plus interference can be determined by measuring the amount of received power in a sub-carrier whenever it is not assigned to any user in the cell. A value is stored for each sub-carrier in the system and the value of noise plus interference can be a weighted average of the present value with previously stored values. The noise component can be independently determined in a synchronous system. In the synchronous system, all users in a system may periodically be prohibited from broadcasting over a sub-carrier and the received power in the sub-carrier measured during the period having no broadcasts.
Abstract:
A system and method for power control and scheduling of sub-carriers in an OFDM communication system. The receiver dynamic range can be minimized by a power control loop that attempts to maintain received power over a noise floor in a predetermined range. If the received power relative to a noise floor in allocated sub-carriers exceeds the predetermined range and the total received power is at the minimum, the scheduling system allocates an additional sub-carrier to the communication link. Additionally, if the received power relative to the noise floor is less than the predetermined range minimum, and the total received power is at a maximum, the scheduling system de-allocates a sub-carrier from the communication link. The scheduling system may also adjust an encoding rate to maintain a relatively constant symbol rate in each sub-carrier.
