Abstract:
Peer-to-peer communication between user terminals in a licensed spectrum is enabled by a method comprising the following steps: —communicating directly, peer-to-peer, between the first and the second mobile terminal, and —disconnecting the peer-to-peer communication in dependence of control signals received or not received from the base station. Thus, according to the invention, the network is enabled to control the peer-to-peer communication between two user terminals.
Abstract:
When transmitting data from a transmission unit to a reception unit over a channel in a wireless communication system, it has been observed that there are inherent losses in throughput, especially for a channel experiencing high channel quality variations over its frequency range. To improve the throughput over such a channel, it is proposed to: estimate the quality of each subchannel of a channel, classify the subchannels into a number of quality groups based on the estimated quality, and select a code rate per quality group. This selected code rate per quality group is then used when a data word to be transmitted is coded. Simulations have shown that by grouping the subchannels into a limited number of groups, for example one to four groups depending on the channel quality variation, a high throughput could be achieved with a minimum of signaling cost in the form of extra overhead.
Abstract:
The invention discloses a mobile-unit-assisted modulation scheme management, in which a mobile unit (100) performs signal quality measurements on a communications link (410), over which data modulated with a first modulation scheme is communicated. The mobile unit (100) determines a first link quality measure for this first modulation. Furthermore, the mobile unit (100) estimates second quality measure(s) for currently non-employed modulation scheme(s) based on this first quality measure. Selection information is then generated based on this first quality measure and the second quality estimate(s). This quality measure estimation is performed based on the capabilities and the particular modulation scheme versions of the mobile unit (100).
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a blind detection of a received signal having at least one property, which initially is unknown to the receiver, however, limited to a finite set of alternatives ({p 1 , p 2 , . . . , p m }). According to the invention, the unknown property is automatically identified as follows. A respective quality measure (q 1 , q 2 , . . . , q m ) is derived from the incoming signal (r(n)), which each represents a particular property in the finite set of alternatives ({p 1 , p 2 , . . . , p m }). The quality measures (q 1 , q 2 , . . . , q m ) are obtained according to a procedure that involves a computationally efficient rejection of any unwanted signal components in the incoming signal (r(n)). Then, the quality measures (q 1 , q 2 , . . . , q m ) are compared with each other in order to find a quality measure, which best fulfills a blind selection criterion. The quality measure (q i ) thus obtained corresponds to the initially unknown property (p i ). For instance, based on this information, the incoming signal (r(n)) may then be further processed in a processing unit ( 122 ), which operates according to a processing principle (C di ) that is adapted to this property (p i ).
Abstract:
The invention involves selection of modulation scheme for a mobile unit (100) having access to a link quality enhancing algorithm (130) operable only on data modulated using a subset of the available modulation schemes. The mobile unit (100) performs signal quality measurements on a communications link (410), over which data modulated with a first modulation scheme is communicated. A link quality measure is then determined for this first modulation. A quality enhancement due to operation of the algorithm (130) is also determined. This quality measure and the quality enhancement are used for generating decision information, which is reported to the network (200). There the information is used for estimating link quality measure(s) of currently non-employed modulation(s) for the mobile unit (100). The selection of a modulation scheme for the communications link is then performed based on the decision information and the estimated quality measure(s).
