Abstract:
Information is coded and segmented into a plurality of sub-packets. Each sub-packet contains identification information and a one-bit information status flag indicating whether the information is 'new' information or 'continue' information. The information to be transmitted is then applied to a scheduling algorithm that determines when the information is to be transmitted, how much information is to be transmitted and how many attempts at a successful transmission of the information is allowed. In this manner, the transmission of information can be performed in an asynchronous manner.
Abstract:
A method of data packet communication. The method includes the step of transmitting CQI in response to an inactive state. The step of transmitting CQI may include receiving an incoming signal associated with one or more real time duplex services, such as voice over IP ("VoIP"), gaming and/or two-way video applications, for example. Thereafter, the method includes the step of pausing the transmission of CQI in response to a break period in the inactive state. The break period may be initiated by transmitting an outgoing signal associated with at least one real time duplex service, such as voice over IP ("VoIP"), gaming and/or two-way video applications, for example. Moreover, the step of pausing may include receiving a do-not-transmit signal to initiate the break period.
Abstract:
A method is provided for efficiently multiplexing interlaced broadcast traffic over a wireless network. The multiplexing scheme organizes unused slots in at least some base stations so that unicast traffic employing hybrid ARQ may be delivered therein.
Abstract:
The error detection method includes decoding a portion of each control channel that is simultaneously received by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system. The UE is provided with techniques to determine if one or more of the control channels were successfully received during the decoding step. If more than one control channel was successfully received, the method selects only one of the successfully received control channels based on calculated path metric differences (PMD) that serve as a "tie-breaking" mechanism to select the correct control channel for a particular UE.
Abstract:
A method of wireless communication. The method includes the step of transmitting at least one sub-frame associated with a first frame using at least a first wireless resource, such as a channelization code, a channelization tone and/or an allocated power transmit level. The method also includes the step of transmitting at least one sub-frame associated with a second frame. The sub-frame associated with the second frame may use at least a second wireless resource if a non-acknowledgement message associated with the first frame is received. However, if an acknowledgement message associated with the first frame is received, the sub-frame associated with the second frame may use at least the first and second wireless resources. Both first and second frames, and the subframes associated thereto may be assigned to a single user to reduce potential delay in real-time wireless services, such as voice, video or wireless gaming, for example.
Abstract:
In an embodiment, a composite signaling message part is formed to include at least two segments (500), each segment (500) including data identifying a different user equipment (UE). In another embodiment, a different portion of a composite signaling message part is transmitted over at least one same time slot in each of the shared control channels; the part including at least two segments (510, 530) and each segment (510, 530) including data identifying a different user equipment (UE). In these embodiments, the part further includes a cyclic redundancy code (550), (CRC) generated by jointly encoding the at least two segments (510, 530). In a further aspect of the method, more than one shared control channel jointly carrying a signaling message are power controlled such that each shared control channel carrying more data associated with one of the UEs is power controlled in accordance with that UE. In a still further embodiment, the channelized code information for a dedicated control channel is divided between first and second parts of the shared control signals.
