Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To automatically shift up or down data rates for high data rate channels based on channel quality feedback on dynamic rate switching and scheduling control. SOLUTION: A plurality of mobile units to require data transmission thereto, are determined and then, a metric is determined for each of the plurality of mobile units to require data transmission thereto. On the basis of the relevant metric, then, one mobile unit is selected out of the plurality of mobile units to require data transmission thereto. A transmission rate is then determined based on channel conditions and a coherence time remaining in a fade cycle, and a packet is transmitted to the selected mobile unit at the determined transmission rate.

Abstract:
A downlink frame (401) is divided in to similar sized resource blocks (403, 405, 407) with each co-channel sector scheduled to transmit from the beginning of its respective assigned resource block. Transmissions to remote units within the particular sector will occur only within the particular resource block, up to a point where all N resource units have been utilized. Beyond that point, additional transmissions are scheduled to be transmitted at the end of the resource blocks assigned to the other sectors.
Abstract:
A method for providing a low-feedback scheme for link-quality reporting based on the EESM technique is provided herein. During operation, a node will analyze the current channel conditions and determine a non-linear approximation of the carrier to interference plus noise ratio (CINR). The non-linear approximation is sent to a communication unit as a channel-selectivity report, causing the communication unit to utilize the report to assist with modulation and coding selection.
Abstract:
A communication system (100) includes a forward link (106) from a base station (102) to multiple mobile units (104), the forward link having multiple shared channels (SHCH's) (109), multiple shared control channels (SHCCH's) (108), and multiple dedicated pointer control channels (DPTRCH's) (107), and utilizes HARQ error control for error detection and error correction. The mobile unit, when listening to the DPTRCH, uses a SHCCH pointed to by the DPTRCH to demodulate and decode data on the SHCH. Throughput problems may arise when the mobile unit combines and decodes the SHCH data that is intended for a different mobile unit or incorrectly decodes SHCH data that is intended for the mobile unit. In order to improve the data throughput of the system, the system employs a flush test (902, 904, 1004, 1008) and an energy detector test (1100, 1202) to prevent improperly decoded data blocks from corrupting properly decoded data blocks.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus (300) for performing H-ARQ transmission is described herein. Bits received on a first transmission are stored (301) and combined with die bits received on later transmissions (304) thereby increasing the likelihood of a correct decoding on later transmissions (304). Additionally, a plurality of coding schemes (eg., Convolution Codes, Block Turbo Codes, Convolution Turbo Codes, Low Density Parity Check Codes,..., etc.) are utilized, with an information element being reserved to signal what form of H-ARQ is being utilized.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a method for enabling transparent relaying of data in order to improve the performance of a cellular system. Particularly, relaying on the uplink is performed by fixed entities called Transparent Relays (TR). The base station may allocate one or more TRs to relay the data transmissions associated with a particular CID (e.g., a particular subscriber station) on the uplink.

Abstract:
A method in a communication system (100) includes transmitting from a source user (101) a first data packet (111) over a first time frame (121) having a finite time period (131), transmittin g from source user (101) a second data packet (112) over a second time frame (122) immediately subsequent to first time frame (121), detecting an acknowledgement of acceptable reception of data packet associated with either first or said second data packets (111 and 112), repeating transmission of first and second data packets (111 and 112) in a sequence of first and second time frames (121 and 122) in a time frame sequence (190) until the detection.
Abstract:
Se describe aqui un metodo y un aparato para efectuar una transmision H-ARQ. Los bits recibidos en una primera transmision son almacenados y combinados con los bits recibidos en transmisiones posteriores, incrementando por lo tanto la probabilidad de una descodificacion correcta sobre las ultimas transmisiones. Adicionalmente, se utiliza una pluralidad de esquemas de codificacion (por ejemplo, Codigos Convolucionales, Turbo Codigos de Bloques, Turbo Codigos Convolucionales, Codigos de Verificacion de Parte de Baja Densidad,..., etc.), con un elemento de informacion que esta reservado para senalar que forma de H-ARQ esta sendo utilizada.
