Abstract:
Provided are a base station device and a mobile station device, which can lighten a cell-search processing. The base station device includes a frame constitution unit for forming a frame, in which a pilot symbol multiplied by a base station scrambling code and a plurality of sequences contained in the corresponding sequence set is arranged in at least the head or tail, and a radio transmission unit for sending the formed frame. On the receiving side, the frame timing can be detected from the position of a pilot symbol contained in that frame. Since the base station scrambling code and the sequence set containing the sequences are made to correspond to each other, candidates can be narrowed to at most the base station scrambling codes of the number of the combinations of the sequences contained in the sequence set, by detecting the sequences multiplied by the pilot symbol.

Abstract:
Techniques for multiplexing pilots in a wireless transmission are described. In one aspect, a transmitter station generates multiple pilot sequences for multiple transmit antennas, with each pilot sequence comprising pilot symbols sent in the time domain on a different set of subcarriers. The transmitter station further generates multiple pilot transmissions for the transmit antennas based on the pilot sequences. In another aspect, a transmitter station generates multiple pilot sequences for multiple transmit antennas based on frequency-domain code division multiplexing (FD-CDM) of a Chu sequence defined by a transmitter-specific value. The transmitter station further generates multiple pilot transmissions for the transmit antennas based on the pilot sequences. In yet another aspect, a transmitter station generates multiple pilot transmissions for multiple transmit antennas based on a first multiplexing scheme and generates multiple data transmissions based on a second multiplexing scheme that is different from the first multiplexing scheme.
Abstract:
Techniques for performing cell detection with successive detection and cancellation (SDC) are described. For SDC, pilots from stronger cells may be canceled from a received signal at a user equipment (UE) so that weaker cells may be detected as a result of reduced interference from the stronger cells. In one design, a UE processes a received signal to detect for a cell and determines whether the detected cell is sufficiently strong. If the cell is sufficiently strong, then the UE cancels the interference due to the detected cell from the received signal and further processes an interference-canceled signal to detect for another cell. The UE may detect for cells in a set of cells in a sequential order, from the strongest cell to the weakest cell. The UE may terminate detection when a cell not sufficiently strong is detected or when all cells in the set are detected.

The present invention relates to a wireless communication system, and more particularly, to a method and apparatus for transmitting uplink control information in a wireless communication system. A method for multiplexing uplink control information and uplink data and for transmitting the multiplexed uplink control information and uplink data according to one embodiment of the present invention comprises the following steps: encoding a first transmission block and a second transmission block to generate a first codeword and a second codeword; mapping the first codeword and the second codeword to one or more layers, respectively; and transmitting, via one or more antenna ports, each layer to which the first codeword and the second codeword are mapped, wherein the uplink control information is multiplexed only to either the first transmission block or to the second transmission block.
Abstract:
Techniques for efficiently deriving uplink channel estimates without consuming much additional uplink resources are described. A user equipment (UE) may send a request for uplink resources on a request channel (REQCH) whenever the UE desires to transmit data on the uplink. The UE may send the REQCH on a set of subcarriers and from multiple antennas, e.g., send REQCH data on data subcarriers and pilot on pilot subcarriers. A Node B may receive the request, estimate the complex channel gains for the pilot subcarriers based on received pilot symbols, and coherently demodulate received data symbols based on the channel gain estimates. The Node B may estimate the complex channel gains for the data subcarriers based on demodulated data symbols and derive a channel estimate for each UE antenna based on the channel gain estimates for the pilot and data subcarriers. The Node B may use the channel estimates for MIMO scheduling, subband scheduling, and rate selection.
Abstract:
A communication system to feed remote antenna nodes with simulcast traffic and non-simulcast beacons is provided. The communication system includes a host radio frequency (RF) digitizer, a delay buffer, a summing circuit, and a framer/serializer. The host RF digitizer receives CDMA base station signals for simulcast CDMA-traffic-bearing channels and to output digital samples. The delay buffer is communicatively coupled to receive the samples output from a beacon pilot generator and to output digitally delayed CDMA-digital-beacon-pilot samples having different pseudo-noise offsets. The summing circuit adds the CDMA-digital-beacon-pilot samples having different pseudo-noise offsets to the digital samples received from the host RF digitizer to form composite simulcast-plus-uniquely-offset-beacon-pilot CDMA samples. The framer/serializer is communicatively coupled to receive the composite simulcast-plus-uniquely-offset-beacon-pilot CDMA samples, and to route the composite simulcast-plus-uniquely-offset-beacon-pilot CDMA samples to an associated remote antenna node.
Abstract:
A technique for encoding digital communication signals. Data symbols are augmented in pilot symbols inserted at predetermined positions. The pilot augmented sequence is then fed to a deterministic error correction block encoder, such as a turbo product coder, to output a coded sequence. The symbols in the error correction encoded sequence are then rearranged to ensure that the output symbols derived from input pilot symbols are located at regular, predetermined positions. As a result, channel encoding schemes can more easily be used which benefits from power of two length block sizes.
Abstract:
Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate employing a hybrid pilot configuration in a wireless communications network. A hybrid pilot configuration includes common pilot symbols and dedicated pilots multiplexed together within a time transmission interval. The multiplexed pilot symbols can be received and utilized to demodulate channels. Common pilot symbols can be employed to demodulate control channels and dedicated pilot symbols can be utilized to demodulate data channels. Moreover, the dedicated pilot symbols can be employed to generate a channel estimate. The common pilot channels can be utilized in combination with the dedicated pilot symbols to augment the channel estimate.
Abstract:
A subscriber unit for use in a communication system includes a spread spectrum radio interface, responsive to a rate function signal from a base station, and first and second despreaders. The base station assigns the rate function spread-spectrum message channels and the first despreader recovers and modifies an information signal one of the spread spectrum message channels. The information channel mode is then modified for processing by the second despreader, with the second despreader supporting a different information signal rate. The subscriber unit has a capability of communicating with a dynamically changing a transmission rate of an information signal which includes multiple spread spectrum message channels. The system includes a closed loop power control system for maintaining a minimum system transmit power level for a radio carrier station and the subscriber units, and system capacity management for maintaining a maximum number of active subscriber units for improved system performance.
