    Abstract: A method and apparatus that determines how much power to allocate to each of a plurality of reverse link power control (RLPC) Channels to be transmitted from a base station, based upon data rate control (DRC) messages transmitted to the base station. The DRC messages transmitted to the base station are used to determine the quality of the Forward Link over which the RLPC is to be transmitted. Even though the remote station to which the RLPC Channel is to be directed has not transmitted a DRC, the base station is capable of allocating power to the RLPC Channel based upon information provided to the base station in DRCs that were received by the base station. Accordingly, the base station can allocate power among the RLPC Channels without having received explicit information as to the quality of the Forward Link between the base station and every remote station intended to receive the information on the RLPC Channels.

    Abstract: A method and an apparatus for rate control in a high data rate (HDR) communication system are disclosed. An exemplary HDR communication system defines a set of data rates, at which an access point (AP) may send data packets to an access terminal (AT). The data rate is selected to maintain targeted packet error rate (PER). The AT's open loop algorithm measures received signal to interference and noise ratio (SINR) at regular intervals, and uses the information to predict an average SINR over the next packet duration. The AT's closed loop algorithm measures a packet error rate (PER) of the received signal, and uses the PER to calculate a closed loop correction factor. The loop correction factor is added to the SINR value predicted by the open loop, resulting in an adjusted SINR.

    Abstract: An efficient telecommunications receiver system for accurately decoding a received composite signal having a data signal component and a pilot signal component includes a first circuit for receiving the composite signal and extracting a pilot signal and a data signal from received composite signal. A second circuit calculates a log-likelihood ratio as a function of a channel estimate based on the pilot signal. A third circuit scales the log-likelihood ratio by a predetermined log-likelihood ratio scaling factor and provides an accurate log-likelihood value in response thereto. A fourth circuit decodes the received composite signal based on the accurate log-likelihood value and the data signal. The third circuit includes a carrier signal-to-interference ratio circuit for computing a first signal-to-interference ratio and a second signal-to-interference ratio based partly on the pilot signal.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus for controlling a data rate associated with the transmission of information from a base station (100) to a mobile station (300) in a mobile radio communication system. The mobile station (300) alternately receives information from a basestation (100) either in a variable rate mode or a fixed rate mode. The transmission rate from a base station (600) in the variable rate mode varies between successive data transmit intervals, and the transmission rate from a base station in the fixed rate mode remains fixed between successive data transmit intervals. Data is transmitted from a first base station (400) to the mobile station in the variable rate mode until the first base station is unable to receive the variable data rate control information from the mobile station. When the first base station (400) is unable to receive the variable data rate control information from the mobile station (300), the mobile station (300) attempts to remain in the variable rate mode by searching for a second base station that will support data transmissions to the mobile station (300) in the variable rate mode and, if the mobile station (300) is able to locate the second base station that will support data transmissions to the mobile station in the variable rate mode, then the second base station transmits data to the mobile station in the variable rate mode and transmissions from the first base station to the mobile station (300) in the variable rate mode terminate. If the mobile station is unable to locate the second base station that will support data transmissions to the mobile station in the variable rate mode, data is transmitted to the mobile station (300) from either the first base station (400) or a different base station in the fixed rate mode.

    Abstract: In a high data rate communication system capable of variable rate transmission, an open loop rate control can be adjusted with a closed loop rate control to maximize throughput. An access point generates interleaved multi-slot packets that allow an access terminal to transmit indicator messages to the access point in accordance with recently received data carried within slots of the multi-slot packets.
