Abstract:
A method and apparatus for estimating and reporting the quality of a wireless communication channel between a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) and a Node-B. A modulated signal is received from the Node-B over the communication channel and a channel estimation is performed on the modulated signal to provide a channel estimate. In one embodiment, the modulated signal is demodulated based on the channel estimate to provide a demodulated signal and a signal-to-interference (SIR) estimate based on the demodulated signal is obtained. The quality of the communication channel is estimated based on at least the SIR estimate. In an alternate embodiment, a SIR estimate based on the channel estimate is obtained. The quality of the communication channel is estimated based on the SIR estimate and additional information including at least one of delay spread, transmit power and WTRU velocity information.
Abstract:
A method for biasing signal-to-interference ratio (SIR) to generate channel quality indicator (CQI) includes measuring the packet error rate (PER) of a received signal and comparing the PER to a to the target PER to generate a correction term. The correction term is combined with the SIR estimation of a reference channel to generate a CQI. The CQI is reported to a transmitter to adjust signal configurations, such as code rate, modulation type, number of codes, power offset.
Abstract:
A sliding window based data estimation is performed. An error is introduced in the data estimation to the communication modeling the relationship between the transmitted and received signals. To compensate for an error in the estimated data, the data that was estimated in a previous sliding window step (58) or terms that would otherwise be truncated as noise are used. These techniques (50, 52, 54, 56. 58, 60, 62 and 64) allow for data to be truncated prior to further processing reducing the data of the window.
Abstract:
The present invention has many aspects. One aspect of the invention is to perform equalization using a sliding window approach. A second aspect reuses information derived for each window for use by a subsequent window. A third aspect utilizes a discrete Fourier transform based approach for the equalization. A fourth aspect relates to handling oversampling of the received signals and channel responses. A fifth aspect relates to handling multiple reception antennas. A sixth embodiment relates to handling both oversampling and multiple reception antennas.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for encoding channel quality indicator, CQI, bits, are disclosed. The method comprises: generating CQI bits (108); encoding the CQI bits (104); generating a signal conveying the CQI bits (106); applying a gain factor b hs to the CQI bits and sending the encoded CQI bits (106); wherein the gain factor b hs for the CQI bits is derived from a quantized amplitude ratio A hs =b hs /b c , wherein b c is a gain factor for a dedicated physical control channel, DPCCH, A hs is translated from CQI , which is signalled by a higher layer, and the translation of CQI into the quantized amplitude ratio A hs is performed in accordance with a predefined table.
Abstract:
Se muestra un método y aparato para codificar un indicador de calidad de canal (CQI) y precodificar bits de control de información. Cada uno de los bits de entrada, tal como bits CQI y/o bits PCI, tiene un significado particular. Los bits de entrada se codifican con una codificación linear de bloque. Los bits de entrada se proporcionan con una protección desigual de error en base al significado de cada bit de entrada. Los bits de entrada pueden ser duplicados en base al significado de cada bit de entrada y puede ser lograda una codificación idéntica de protección. Una matriz generadora para la decodificación puede ser generada mediante una operación elemental de secuencias de base convencional para proporcionar más protección a un bit más significativo (MSB).
Abstract:
Se divulgan un método y aparato de comunicacion inalámbrica para detectar y decodificar transmisiones de canal de indicador de pedido híbrido de repeticion automática (H-ARQ) de canal dedicado mejorado (E-DCH) (E-HICH). Una unidad inalámbrica de transmision/recepcion (WTRU) recibe transmisiones de E-HICH y detecta un indicador de H-ARQ transmitido a través del E-HICH, efectuando una prueba de hipotesis binaria. La WTRU genera luego un mensaje de confirmacion (ACK) o un mensaje de no confirmacion (NACK) en base al indicador de H-ARQ detectado. Una prueba de confiabilidad puede ser llevada a cabo, además, a fin de mejorar la performance, por lo cual la prueba de hipotesis binaria puede ser efectuada solamente si se pasa la prueba de confiabilidad.
Abstract:
An adaptive equalizer including an equalizer filter and a tap coefficients generator used to process a sample data stream derived from a plurality of received signals is disclosed. The tap coefficients generator includes an equalizer tap update unit, a vector norm square estimator, an active taps mask generator, a switch and a pilot amplitude reference unit used to minimize the dynamic range of the equalizer filter. A dynamic mask vector is used to mask active taps generated by the equalizer tap update unit when an unmasked signal output by the equalizer filter is selected by the switch to generate an error signal fed to the equalizer tap update unit. A fixed mask vector is used to mask active taps generated by the equalizer tap update unit when a masked signal output by the equalizer filter is used to generate the error signal.

An apparatus for estimating and correcting baseband frequency error in a receiver is disclosed. An equalizer performs equalization on a sample data stream and generates filter tap values based on the equalization. An estimated frequency error signal is generated based on at least one of the filter tap values. A rotating phasor is generated based on the estimated frequency error signal. The rotating phasor signal is multiplied with the sample data stream to correct the frequency of the sample data stream. Alternatively, a channel estimator performs channel estimation and generates Rake receive finger weights based on at least one of the finger weights. An estimated frequency error signal is generated based on at least one of the finger weights.
