Abstract:
A method and apparatus for identifying optimal redundancy version (RV) sequences for HSDPA transmissions based on extensive search. In a first embodiment of the present invention, in HSDPA QPSK mode, the transmitter retransmits according to the RV sequence [0 7 3 4 1 6 5 2] and in HSDPA 16QAM mode, the transmitter retransmits according to the RV sequence [0 1 3 4 5 6 7 1]. In a second embodiment of the present invention, in HSDPA QPSK mode, the transmitter retransmits according to the RV sequence [0 7 3 4 1 6 5 2] if the initial coding rate is greater than or equal to 0.5 and [0 4 3 6 2 1 6 2] if the initial coding rate is less than 0.5. In HSDPA 16QAM mode, the transmitter retransmits according to the RV sequence [0 1 3 4 5 6 7 1] if the initial coding rate is greater than or equal to 0.5 and the transmitter retransmits according to the RV sequence [0 4 5 6 0 4 5 6] if the initial coding rate is less than 0.5. In a third embodiment of the present invention, the transmitter retransmits according to the RV sequence according to each specific initial coding rate. In a fourth embodiment of the present invention, the transmitter retransmits according to the RV sequence according to a specific initial coding rate and a specific mother code rate. An SNR tracking algorithm is provided in conjunction with the optimal sequences for robust HARQ operations.
Abstract:
A User Equipment, UE, supporting communication in a multicarrier radio communication system and a method therein for receiving information from a Radio Base Station, RBS, are provided. The method comprises determining 310 a bandwidth by which the UE will receive information, the bandwidth comprising a plurality of sub-carriers. The method also comprises adjusting 320 a bandwidth of the UE to correspond to the determined bandwidth by which the UE will receive information; and fine tuning 330 a local oscillator of the UE such that a centre frequency of a local oscillator does not coincide with a predetermined subcarrier transmitted from the RBS.
Abstract:
In one or more embodiments, a method of processing a soft value sequence according to an iterative soft-input-soft-output (SISO) algorithm comprises carrying out sliding-window processing of the soft value sequence in a first iteration using first window placements and in a second iteration using second window placements, and varying the window placements between the first and second iterations. In at least one embodiment, a communication receiver circuit is configured to carry out iterative SISO processing, wherein it processes a soft value sequence using sliding windows, and wherein it varies window placements between one or more iterations. The communication receiver circuit comprises, for example, all or part of a turbo decoding circuit or other type of iterative block decoding circuit, an equalization and decoding circuit, a soft demodulation and decoding circuit, a multi-user detection and decoding circuit, or a multiple-input-multiple-output detection and decoding circuit.
Abstract:
Methods are disclosed for supporting transmission of broadcast messages using multiple types of control channels. An example method begins with receiving (1110) a message from each of several user terminals, each message indicating whether the corresponding user terminal supports the receipt of broadcast messages via the second control channel type. In some embodiments, one or more of these messages may indicate that the corresponding user terminal monitors only the second control channel type for broadcast messages. The control node subsequently initiates (1120) a transmission of a broadcast message to one of the user terminals from one or more base stations in a tracking area for the user terminal. This initiation includes indicating to the one or more base stations whether user terminal supports the receipt of broadcast messages via the second control channel type, based on information earlier received by the control node.
