    Abstract: In one aspect, the present invention improves Turbo equalization and/or soft interference cancellation processing in communication receivers by providing an efficient and accurate technique to compute the second moment of a received symbol, e.g., an interfering symbol, as a function of the expected bit values of only those bits in the symbol that are magnitude-controlling bits according to a defined modulation constellation. Advantageously, the expected bit values in at least one embodiment are computed using a LUT that maps bit LLRs to corresponding hyperbolic tangent function values. Further, the expected symbol value is computed as a linear function of terms comprising the expected bit values and the soft symbol variance is efficiently computed from the second moment and the expected symbol value squared. This simplified processing reduces receiver complexity, particularly in the context of modulation constellations having non-constant magnitudes, and thus saves power and/or improves design economics.

    Abstract: Uplink synchronization of user equipment, UE, (30, 40, 50) served by a radio base station, RBS, (20) is enabled by triggering (re)start of timing alignment, TA, timer (180) in response to a first TA command. Uplink timing of data received from the UE (30, 40, 50) during a measuring time window (63) constituting a defined sub-interval of a time interval (60) of the TA timer (180) is measured and employed for determining a timing advance for the UE (30, 40, 50). Transmission of a second TA command comprising a notification of the timing advance is co-scheduled together with a scheduled downlink data transmission to the UE (30, 40, 50) during a following scheduling time window (65) constituting a defined sub-interval of the time interval (60). The number of TA commands that are scheduled by themselves are minimized to free radio resources and increase the downlink throughput.

    Abstract: In a method of interference rejection combining (IRC) for mitigating interference in received signals in the frequency domain for a telecommunication system, selecting (S 10) a sub-group of frequencies of a received signal, determining (S20) a joint representation of a covariance matrix for the interference plus noise for at least one time slot of the received signal for the selected sub-group of frequencies, determining (S30) a channel estimate based on at least one pilot symbol of said at least one time slot. Finally, determining (S40) IRC coefficients in the frequency domain for each symbol of said at least one time slot based on said determined joint representation of the covariance matrix and said determined channel estimate.

    Abstract: Interference suppression in a receiver in a wireless network that utilizes training sequences for synchronization and channel estimation, wherein the training sequence of an interfering channel overlaps the training sequence of a desired channel to cause degraded channel estimation, by generating a channel estimate for a carrier part of a received signal; generating a residual signal where the carrier part has been removed from the received signal; generating covariance matrix estimates for interferer channel estimate candidates; selecting carrier and interferer channel estimates having the lowest energy in the covariance matrix; and, explicitly generating the selected interferer channel estimate.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for subframe-based link adaptation for a radio signal in a cellular communications network (10) are disclosed. In one embodiment, a base station (14) obtains a hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement for data transmitted between the base station (14) and a mobile terminal (16) in a radio signal of the base station (14). The base station (14) then updates a parameter (e.g., SINR offset) used to control a Modulation and Coding Scheme (MCS) for transmission of data between the base station (14) and the mobile terminal (16) in the radio signal for one or more subframes in a frame structure of the radio signal based on the hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement. The one or more subframes are a subset of all of the subframes in the frame structure of the radio signal.
