Abstract:
A decision as to whether a mobile terminal (202) has transmitted an ACK, a NACK or a NULL from a received signal at a base station (201) is made by successively eliminating (303, 304, 307) one of the three possible transmitted symbols by sequentially applying decision rules that maximize network throughput by minimizing the sum of the weighted costs of making a decision based on the magnitude of the received signal.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a method and apparatus for an intelligent antenna receiver architecture. The method includes receiving a first plurality of signals corresponding to a plurality of antennas, determining at least one value indicative of a non-random portion of the first plurality of signals, and modifying the first plurality of signals based upon the at least one value indicative of the non-random portion of the first plurality of signals to form a second plurality of signals.
Abstract:
In a 3GPP standards Release 6 UMTS system, in order to avoid searching at NodeB for a maximum E-DPCCH-associated metric at discrete possible valid index values, or over disjoint possible valid index regions, at the UE the three different sources of information, the fixed number bits that comprise the RSN, TFI and the H-bit components of the E-DPCCH bit field, are mapped so that the decimal equivalents of the possible E-DPCCH indices lie within a continuous range of values.
Abstract:
In the absence of a continuous channel from the mobile terminal (301) that incorporates a CRC in each transmitted frame from which the base station (303) can derive a power control signal for feedback to the mobile station for maintaining the mobile station's pilot Eb/N0 level at a desired target that corresponds to a particular frame error rate, the pilot signal received by the base station from the mobile terminal itself is arranged in a frame format. Each pilot frame is compared with an a prioi known transmitted pilot signal bit pattern to determine whether it has been received in error. In response to a comparison of a received pilot frame with the expected known bit pattern of the pilot frame, an error signal is derived, which in the described embodiment is either a step-up or step-down signal that is fed back to the mobile terminal to increase or decrease its transmitted pilot Eb/N0 level, respectively.

Abstract:
In a method of detecting a mobile station that is not following a power control command, for each time slot, a received signal-to-interference ratio (SIR) value of the mobile as measured by a given base station is compared with a given average SIR target value. An error metric may be generated for each slot based on a difference between the measured SIR and average SIR target values. The generated error metrics may be averaged over a given time duration to determine at least one (or more) average error value(s), and the mobile station is determined as violating a power control command if the at least one or more average error value(s) exceed a given threshold.
Abstract:
The channel quality indicator (CQI) transmitted by a mobile terminal to a base station is indicative of the E c /N t pilot SNR of the pilot signal transmitted by the base station and measured by the mobile terminal. The base station uses the CQI for purposes such as determining a downlink rate, a modulation scheme, and downlink power. Knowledge by the base station of whether the received and detected CQI is likely to be "good" or "bad" would be useful in determining how and whether the value of the received and detected CQI should be used. In a first embodiment, at the base station, a reliability of the received CQI that is detected from received soft symbol metrics is determined in conjunction with the detected CQI value for the received CQI word as a whole. In a second embodiment, a minimum bit error probability receiver is used that makes a maximum likelihood decision for each CQI bit individually from the plurality of metrics derived from the received soft symbol metrics, and the reliability of each CQI bit is individually determined.
