Abstract:
A wireless communication device (200) including a first CRC coder that generates a first block of CRC parity bits on a transport block and associates the first block of CRC parity bits with the transport block, a segmenting entity that segments the transport blocks into multiple code blocks after associating, and a second coder that generates a second block of CRC parity bits on each code block and associates a second block of CRC parity bits with each code block. The first and second blocks of CRC parity bits are based on first and second generator polynomials. In one embodiment, the first and second generator polynomials are different. In another embodiment, the generator polynomials are the same and the transport block is interleaved before segmenting or the code block are interleaved before encoding with the second block of CRC parity bits.

Abstract:
A method in a transmitter for data collision avoidance in an uncoordinated frequency hopping communication system is disclosed. The base station (104) first determines (304) that a first data set to be sent to a first device (105) and a second data set to be sent to a second device (107) are scheduled to be transmitted simultaneously on a first frequency of a frequency hop-set. The device then transmits (310) the first data set on the first frequency of the frequency hop-set. The base station delays (312) transmission of the second data set, and finally transmits (316) the second data set on a second frequency of a frequency hop-set.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a method for receiving broadcast data in a system where broadcast data is transmitted on a plurality of frequencies. A user device monitors (302) a first frequency (108) for broadcast data to be transmitted on the first frequency. The device receives on the first frequency a notification of a broadcast data session which is to be sent on a second frequency (114) that is different from the first frequency. The device then determines a configuration associated with the second frequency and in accordance with receiving the broadcast data session and then configures (310) to receive the broadcast data session in accordance with the determined configuration. After receiving the broadcast data session, the device returns to monitoring the first frequency.
Abstract:
A mobile device estimates a data symbol from a received signal by using one or more interference cancellation algorithms. For one interference cancellation algorithm, the mobile device calculates (302) a Channel State Information (CSI) of an interfering sector and calculates (304) a CSI of a serving sector at a different time. The mobile device then determines (310) a correction factor to the CSI of the interfering sector by, for example, estimating a Doppler speed and a time difference between a first time interval like a preamble symbol and a second time interval like any symbol of interest in the data zone. Using the correction factor, the mobile device updates outdated interference information. The mobile device can cancel interference in the received signal distorted by co-channel interference by using the updated interference information. Also, the mobile device can be configured to combine results of multiple interference cancellation algorithms based on the applicability of the individual interference cancellation algorithms in particular scenarios.
