Abstract:
Orthogonal transmit diversity is implemented by employing a data splitter (803) to subdivide channel information (801) into at least a first portion of bits (802) and a second portion of bits (804). Each portion is spread with its own Walsh code for eventual transmission to a mobile station via a predetermined carrier frequency. When the number of bits in the first and second portion (802, 804) are small, separate Walsh codes are used to maintain orthogonality. When the number of bits in the first and second portion (802, 804) are relatively large, a time-division multiplex transmission is used to maintain orthogonality. A controller (809) controls the subdivision of the channel information and also an interleaver (308) to further enhance the effects of the diversity transmission. Control information related to the subdivision is transmitted to the mobile station so the channel information can be accurately reconstructed prior to decoding.
Abstract:
In a transceiver in a wireless communications system, data is transmitted from the transceiver to subscriber units, wherein each subscriber unit has a requested transmit power and an allocated transmit power, and wherein the allocated transmit power is based upon the requested transmit power. A request for an additional power allocation is detected, wherein such additional allocation causes a total requested power to exceed a maximum transceiver power. In response, allocated transmit power is limited for a minimum number of selected subscriber units needed to reduce a total transceiver transmit power below the maximum transceiver power.
Abstract:
A transmitter transmits the desired signal using a continuous duty cycle at transmission rates of less than full rate (Fig. 6). The energy used in each power control group is related to the transmission rate. By repeating the power control groups, time division diversity (Fig. 6) is provided. In the receiver, the received power control groups are analyzed and compared to several levels of energy thresholds (73, 75, 77, 79). The results of the comparisons are converted into a power control signal (74, 76, 78, 80, 81) and returned to the mobile. The mobiles are capable of selecting the appropriate bit (93) and adjusting their power (94). Alternatively, an indicator of the transmission rate can be forwarded (155) in advance of the frame. The receiver compares a power estimate with the threshold for the transmission rate indicated (166).
Abstract:
A CDMA communication system (400) includes a plurality of base stations (410, 420 and 430) transmitting at least a corresponding plurality of pilot signals. A mobile station (401) in a coverage area of the system (400) receives at least one of the plurality of pilot signals and transmits a Pilot Strength Measurement Message that includes a Neighbor Set of a list of a plurality of candidate pilots for a and-off routine. A method and apparatus for determining the Neighbor Set includes finding a location of the mobile station (401) in the coverage area of system (400) and determining the list of plurality of candidate pilots in the Neighbor Set according to the location of the mobile station (401).
