Abstract:
A wireless transmit/receive units (WTRUs) receives a downlink transmission from a Node-B and decodes the downlink transmission. If the decoding is not successful, the WTRU sends a pre-defined burst signifying a negative acknowledgement (NACK) to the Node-B via a contention-based shared feedback channel. The pre-defined burst may be sent only once without requiring an acknowledgement. The Node-B calibrates a downlink transmit power so that the downlink transmission is transmitted to the WTRUs with a high likelihood. The Node-B may send a downlink transmission including multiple data streams processed using different modulation and coding schemes so that a WTRU having a high signal quality decodes all data streams while a WTRU having a low signal quality decodes less than all data streams. The Node-B sends a channel quality indicator (CQI) threshold so that each WTRU determines a data stream to report feedback based on the CQI threshold and a measured CQI.
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 Δ CQI , which is signalled by a higher layer, and the translation of Δ CQI into the quantized amplitude ratio A hs is performed in accordance with a predefined table.

Abstract:
A receiver that reduces impulse response interference using a model of the received signal similar to that used in block linear equalizers. Block linear equalizers comprise decorrelating receivers, zero-forcing receivers, minimum mean square error receivers and the like. The invention comprises an interference computation processor feedback loop (43) for correcting the output of a direct interference canceller (39). The m iterative process removes interferers from the output symbols of a matched-filter (35). The receiver uses received signal models of the various block linear equalizers that do not assume that each subchannel consists of several distinct paths. The receiver ertimates the impulse response characteristic of each subchannel as a whole.
Abstract:
A wireless communication method and system for assigning multi-paths to Rake receiver fingers. A Rake finger assignment database is established in which multi-path signals (300) are categorized into a verified group and an unverified group. Each multi-path is assigned to an individual bin in the database. Each bin includes a pilot phase data field (310), an antenna data field (315), a code data field (320), an averaged signal strength data field (325), an assigned flag data field (330), a verification flag data field (335), an update flag data field (340), an assigned Rake finger number data field (345) and an assignment time counter data field (350). The multi-path signals in the verified group are further categorized into an assigned subgroup and an unassigned subgroup. During a measurement interval, each of a plurality of newly measured multi-path signals is compared to the multi-path signals in the database and is processed accordingly.
Abstract:
A first detector receives a received signal and extracts the data signals from the received signal. A hard decision converter converts soft symbols outputted by the first detector into hard symbols. An interference canceller extracts the voice signals from the received signal. A second detector is connected to the output of the interference canceller, and extracts the individual voice signals. The second detector is a different detector type than the first detector.
Abstract:
A wireless transmit receive unit (WTRU) and methods are used in a wireless communication system to process sampled received signals to establish and/or maintain wireless communications. A selectively controllable coherent accumulation unit produces power delay profiles (PDPs). A selectively controllable post processing unit passes threshold qualified magnitude approximation values and PDP positions to a device such as a rake receiver to determine receive signal paths.
