Abstract:
A method is provided for adjusting timing of transmissions within a wireless communications system. The method comprises receiving a request for a timing adjustment and adjusting timing of a DPCH in a first frame. The timing of at least one of an E-RGCH and an E-HICH is then adjusted in a second frame associated with the first frame.
Abstract:
Whether a receiver supports blind data channel detection is determined, and transmission of control channel information associated with a data channel is disabled if the determining step determines the receiver is capable of detecting the data channel without the use of control channel information. Data is transmitted to the receiver on the data channel without the control channel information after disabling of the transmission of the control channel information.
Abstract:
In a method of detecting whether a transmitted data frame is a discontinuous transmission (DTX) frame, a signal metric 285, 380 corresponding to the transmitted data frame is generated in a decoding operation 276, 376 used to decode the data frame from a signal carrying the frame that is received by a base station receiver 150. A signal energy of the transmitted data frame is determined 182 based on the signal metric, and used for determining 186, 188 whether the transmitted data frame is a DTX frame.
Abstract:
A method is provided for controlling communications between a base station and a mobile device. The method comprises determining the actual transmission gap and only discarding slots and / or frames that overlap with the actual transmission gap. Slots and/or frames that overlap with a scheduled transmission gap but are outside the actual transmission gap are transmitted.
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:
Whether to process a control channel corresponding to a data channel carrying transmitted data based on a re-transmission indicator and a threshold value is determined at the receiver. The retransmission indicator indicates a number of times the transmitted data has been transmitted. Control information received on the control channel is then selectively processed based on the determining step.
Abstract:
In a method of detecting a signal, a control channel associated with a physical channel may be decoded to produce at least one decoding metric. A control channel signal on the control channel may then be detected based on the decoding metric.
Abstract:
A method of multi-path acquisition may include estimating a contribution of acquired users of a first type to a received signal, canceling the estimated contribution from the received signal to generate a resultant signal, and performing multi-path acquisition for users of the first type and users of a second type based on the resultant signal.
Abstract:
A method may include determining whether to use a candidate path in acquiring a signal based on a path energy value at the candidate path and a path energy detection threshold. The path energy detection threshold may be less than a preamble detection threshold, and the preamble detection threshold may be used in detecting whether a candidate path carries a preamble.
Abstract:
A plurality of decoding metrics for a current frame may be generated based on a correlation set for a current frame and a correlation set for at least one previous frame. Whether a signal is present on a control channel may then be determined based on the generated decoding metrics.
