Abstract:
The present invention discloses methods and apparatuses for fast resource scheduling at the base station and fast transport format combination selection at the UE by using different pointers in base station and user equipment of wireless network. The TFCS in base station and UE are divided into TFCsbs each of which is a set of TFCs with the same transmission rate or the same transmission power, in the resource scheduling process at the base station, a pointer is used to select a proper TFCsb according to the resource request information from the UE and then inform UE of the relevant information. UE select the proper TFC by using another pointer from the TFCsb chosen at the base station. Because each of the scheduling process at the base station and the TFC selection process at the UE uses a pointer separately, the two processes can go more efficiently individually.
Abstract:
Messages transmitted between a receiver and a transmitter are used to maximize a communication data rate. In particular, a multicarrier modulation system uses messages that are sent from the receiver to the transmitter to exchange one or more sets of optimized communication parameters. The transmitter then stores these communication parameters and when transmitting to that particular receiver, the transmitter utilizes the stored parameters in an effort to maximize the data rate to that receiver. Likewise, when the receiver receives packets from that particular transmitter, the receiver can utilize the stored communication parameters for reception.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method for transmitting/receiving channel quality information (CQI) in a communication system having a frame including subchannels corresponding to the same frequency reuse factor or different frequency reuse factors. A base station (BS) allocates at least one of the subchannels in the frame to a subscriber station (SS), and sends a transmission request for a CQI for a subchannel desired to be received, to the SS. The SS measures channel quality for individual subchannels requested by the BS in response to the CQI request, and transmits the measured channel quality to the BS.
Abstract:
Apparatus and method for a base station to assign to a user equipment (UE) communicating with the base station a number of coded control information symbols being transmitted with coded data information symbols during the same transmission time interval by the UE. The method includes assigning, by the base station, an offset to the UE, assigning, by the base station, a Modulation and Coding Scheme for data information (data MCS) to the UE, transmitting the offset to the UE, and transmitting the data MCS to the UE, wherein the number of coded control information symbols assigned to the UE for transmission of control information is determined based on the data MCS and the offset.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for transmitting/receiving control information in a wireless communication system are provided, in which physical layer signaling information to be transmitted in a frame is determined, a coded block is generated from signaling information having a fixed number of bits included in the physical layer signaling information, and a frame including the coded block is transmitted. The signaling information having the fixed number of bits includes information required for receiving other signaling information having a variable number of bits.
Abstract:
A user equipment (UE) in a mobile communications system is operated in a manner that alleviates or avoids an overload condition in the UE. This involves operating a receiver of the UE to receive one or more data blocks via a channel. In response to a user equipment overload condition being detected, a channel quality indicator (CQI) value is reported to a serving base station, wherein the reported CQI value represents a channel quality that is lower than an actual quality of the channel. The UE is then operated in a manner that is consistent with the reported CQI value. UE overload conditions include overheating, and an inability to process received data blocks at the rate at which they are being received.
Abstract:
A method and system for joint encoding multiple independent information messages are disclosed. In one embodiment, a system includes an encoder configured to encode each of the independent information messages to produce respective encoded bits, and a first multiplexer configured to multiplex each of the independent information messages. A joint block encoder encodes the multiplexed independent information messages to produce encoded common parity bits shared by all independent information messages, and a second multiplexer multiplexes the respective encoded bits from all independent channel encoders and the encoded common parity bits from the joint block encoder to produce the final output.

Abstract:
Disclosed is a method and device for requesting and reporting channel quality information in a mobile communication system. A base station a locates a dedicated feedback channel for channel quality information report to an uplink radio resource, transmits the allocation information to subscriber stations, and generates a CQI report message to request channel quality information from the subscriber stations. The subscriber stations receive the CQI report message from the base station, measures a radio channel quality for communication with the base station, generates channel quality information, generates a CQI response message including the channel quality information, and transmit-the CQI response message to the base station through a dedicates feedback channel designated in the allocation information.
