Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable fast allocation of additional carriers in multi-carrier wireless communication systems.SOLUTION: High layer protocols are used to allocate additional carriers to UE 304 in a wireless network. Additionally, management of the additional carriers is accomplished via high speed lower layer signaling protocols. Management involves activating/deactivating the additional carriers and instructing the UE to provide carrier feedback and to monitor pilot or control channels of such carriers.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method of managing a shared resource.SOLUTION: A base station can employ a shared channel, such as a control channel, for communication with a mobile device. The mobile device can be granted exclusive access to a shared resource for a limited time. The exclusive access can be such that there is no limit in the size of messages transferred across the shared resource. To improve operation, the exclusive grant can be applied until it is determined that appropriate packets are transferred.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide techniques for scheduling users for transmission on the uplink in a wireless communication system.SOLUTION: A cell performs interference cancellation for uplink transmissions and observes lower effective noise and interference. The lower effective noise and interference may allow the cell to operate with a higher effective target load, which may support a higher overall throughput for the cell. An effective target load for a cell using interference cancellation is determined on the basis of a target rise-over-thermal (RoT) for the cell and an interference cancellation efficiency factor. An available load for the cell is determined on the basis of the effective target load, which may be higher than a target load for the cell without interference cancellation. Users in the cell are scheduled for transmission on the uplink on the basis of the available load.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide systems and methods that facilitate pilot channel optimization schemes for high data rate communications transmissions.SOLUTION: Pilot channel operations are monitored and controlled by a base station for one or more cooperating wireless terminals such that one or more power features of the one or more cooperating wireless terminals can be changed in response to one or more selected pilot channel operational conditions. A base station engages in one or more selected pilot channel control operations as part of pilot channel optimization comprising a jump detection technique, operating power control on another channel other than the DPCCH, engaging in delayed power control, engaging in soft-handoff power control in the instance of a boosted pilot channel, and resolving ambiguity in grant messages resulting from a pilot boost.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide systems and methodologies that facilitate increasing of throughput in a time-division duplexed CDMA wireless communication environment.SOLUTION: A set of orthogonal Walsh code sequences can be assigned to users of the first group in a network sector, and a duplicate set of orthogonal Walsh code sequences is assigned to at least users of the second group in the sector. Reception antennas whose number is equal to or greater than the number of duplicate code sets being assigned are deployed to linearly scale sector capacity to meet user demand. User devices employing duplicate Walsh code sequence assignments at a base station serving the sector is distinguished from each other, and timing offset between such users is enforced to mitigate any jamming effect at the base station receiver. Still furthermore, user device channel requirements in the sector is continuously evaluated and an appropriate number of antennas is dynamically deployed to provide scalable service to all such user devices.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a resource allocation method for expansion uplink using a shared control channel.SOLUTION: User equipment (UE) selects one signature from a set of signatures available for random access regarding expansion uplink, generates an access preamble on the basis of the selected signature and sends the access preamble for random access while operating in an inactive state. The UE receives from a shared control channel a resource allocated for the UE. The UE determines an UE identifier (ID) allocated beforehand in association with the selected signature, demasks a received symbol for the shared control channel on the basis of the UEID allocated beforehand, decodes the demasked symbol to obtain a codeword, and determines the allocated resource on the basis of the codeword. The UE transmits data to a node B using the allocated resource while maintaining the inactive state.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To increase system capacity in a code-limited WCDMA(R) (e.g., TDD, FDD, ...) wireless communication environment.SOLUTION: A larger code space can be defined by introducing multiple code clusters within a sector, where each cluster has a unique scrambling code. Codes within a cluster have orthogonal Walsh sequences that can be assigned to user devices to facilitate communicating over a wireless network and can overlap with codes in another cluster. The unique scrambling code assigned to each cluster can ensure that duplicate Walsh sequences in another cluster in the same sector appear as pseudo-noise codes.
