Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and an apparatus for generating code words with variable length and redundancy from a single low-density parity check (LDPC) code with variable-length input words. SOLUTION: A mother code for encoding data words is generated based on a parity check matrix, and the mother code is adjusted to reflect the size of the data word to be encoded. A generator matrix applies the mother code to the data words to produce a code words for transmission. A reduction criteria is determined and the size of the generator matrix is reduced accordingly. At a receiver, a corresponding parity check matrix is applied to decode the received code word. COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To properly modify power allocation for power control bits in a cellular network. SOLUTION: A power allocation value for power control information transmitted from a first station to a plurality of stations is determined by receiving data rate control information from the plurality of stations in a communications system. Supplemental information relating to the data rate control information is then generated, and an improved signal strength value is produced in accordance with the supplemental information. The power allocation value for the power control information transmitted from the first station to the plurality of stations is determined in accordance with the improved signal strength value.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To combine variable-length packets for HRPD (High Rate Packet Data) communication into one physical layer (PL) packet for efficient packet transmission. SOLUTION: Although a plurality of security layer (SL) packets can be multiplexed to a single physical layer (PL) packet in order to improve the efficiency, the SL packets may have a variable length. The length of the SL packet is selected based on the status of channels corresponding to a plurality of security layers. A shorter packet is used for a user in poor channel situation, or a user requesting a smaller amount of data due to application and requirements for quality of service (QoS) accompanied with the application.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve the generation efficiency of a variable-length physical layer packet. SOLUTION: A plurality of security layer (SL) packets are multiplexed to a single physical layer (PL) packet, in order to improve the efficiency. The SL packets may have a variable length. An SL packet in a different format for a different user is combined with a capsule for forming the PL packet. A shorter packet is used for a user in poor channel situation, or a user requesting a smaller amount of data due to application and requirements for quality of service (QoS) accompanied with the application. A preamble structure provides a unicast packet or a multiuser packet. A mechanism is provided for identifying an acknowledgement from a corrected rate set, a single user packet, or a multiplexed packet (delayed acknowledgement). COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
An optimum combiner that reduces the amount of interference imposed upon a first base station (102) by transmissions of other base stations within the same communication system. Two antennas (112, 114) are used to receive transmissions within a receiving station (110). A rake receiver is coupled to each antenna (112, 114). By optimally combining the signals that are received by each independent finger of the rake receiver, interference that is correlated between a finger associated with the first antenna (112) and a finger associated with the second antenna (114) can be minimized with respect to the desired signal. Optimum combining requires determination of optimum combining coefficients. A max-ratio combining algorithm may be substituted for the optimal combining algorithm depending upon interference characteristics.
Abstract:
A frequency-timing control loop comprising a frequency control loop to acquire and track the frequency of a given signal instance in a received signal and a timing control loop to acquire and track the timing of the same signal instance. The timing control loop processes data samples for the received signal to provide a first control indicative of timing error in the data samples for the signal instance. The frequency control loop includes a frequency discriminator used to derive a second control indicative of frequency error in the data samples for the signal instance, and a loop filter used to filter the first and second controls to provide a third control. This third control is used to adjust the frequency and phase of a periodic signal, which is used (directly or indirectly) to downconvert and digitize the received signal to provide the data samples.
Abstract:
A method for transmitting and receiving variable rate data. The data is spread using a long pseudo noise code generated by a linear feedback PN generator (16), the mask of which is selected by mask selector (14) in accordance with the transmission rate of the variable data and the specific user transmitting the data. Thus, by identifying at the receiver which mask will allow the received waveform to be correctly despread, the rate of the data can be determined.
Abstract:
[0065] A searcher is centered on frequency bins to search for an incoming signal. The frequency locked loop generates an initial phase signal and a phase increment signal that are input to an accumulator. The accumulator accumulates the phase increments over a predetermined interval. After the interval, the accumulator generates a control signal that instructs a rotato r to perform a phase rotation function.
Abstract:
In a data communication system capable of variable rate transmission, high rate packet data transmission improves utilization of the forward link and decreases the transmission delay. Data transmission on the forward link is time multiplexed and the base station transmits at the highest data rate supported by the forward link at each time slot to one mobile station. The data rate is determined by the largest C/I measurement of the forward link signals as measured at the mobile station. Upon determination of a data packet received in error, the mobile station transmits a NACK message back to the base station. The NACK message results in retransmission of the data packet received in error. The data packets can be transmitted out of sequence by the use of sequence number to identify each data unit within the data packets.
