Abstract:
A method and apparatus are provided for jointly encoding bits containing information about an existing modulation technique or an existing antenna transmission technique in order to extend signaling to include new information about an additional modulation technique or the use of an additional antenna transmission technique without having to increase the number of bits transmitted in the signaling; and conveying the new information in unused combinations of the encoded bits. The signaling may take the form of a high speed shared control channel (HS-SCCH) that forms part of a high speed downlink packet access (HSDPA). In some embodiments, the existing modulation technique may include quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK), 16 quadrature amplitude modulation (16QAM), or some combination thereof, and the additional modulation technique may include 64 quadrature amplitude modulation (64QAM).

The writing address supply part 210 supplies writing addresses for writing the bits forming bit sequences corresponding to the header H contained in a frame to be transmitted or stored and bit sequences corresponding to the data D, into the operating memory 220. The reading address supply part 230 alternately supplies to the operating memory 220 a plurality of addresses for reading a plurality of continuous bits corresponding to the header H from the operating memory 220, and an address for reading 1 bit corresponding to the data D from the operating memory 220, and reads the bit sequence such that the bits forming the bit sequence corresponding to the header H are scattered and arranged within the bit sequence forming the data D, from the operating memory. In accordance with such an interleaving device, it is possible to individually randomize frames according to their constituent data, and it is possible to transmit the bits that make up such data in a format which is most suited for said data.
Abstract:
Systems, methods, and instrumentalities are disclosed for priority-based channel coding for control information. A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) may sort control information associated with a first control information type into a first control information group and the control information associated with a second control information type into a second control information group, for example, based on respective priorities associated with the first and second control information types. The WTRU may group one or more bits of the first control information group into a first bit level control information group and a second bit level control information group based on priority. The WTRU may selectively apply a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) to the first control information group, the second control information group, the first bit level control information group, and/or the second bit level control information group.
Abstract:
A two-stage signaling concept for a datastream to be transmitted from a transmitter to a receiver is proposed. At the transmitter side, a plurality of frame headers are generated, each frame header including data transmission parameters for payload data. A super-frame header for a super-frame is generated. The super-frame includes a plurality of frames, each frame including one of the frame headers and payload data. The super-frame header indicates a set of super-frame-constant frame header transmission parameters for the frame headers of the plurality of frames of the super-frame. A receiver evaluates the super-frame header of to obtain the super-frame-constant frame header transmission parameters, which are then used to evaluate the plurality of frame headers PLH to retrieve the data transmission parameters. The proposed concept provides added flexibility, less signaling overhead, and/or an option of improved receiver performance at low SNR levels.

Abstract:
Various aspects described herein relate to communicating in a wireless network. An uplink resource grant can be received from a network entity for communicating in the wireless network. A transmission time interval (TTI) for an uplink transmission within a subframe based on the uplink resource grant can be determined, wherein the TTI comprises one or more symbols which are a subset of a plurality of symbols in the subframe. Communications can be transmitted to the network entity over resources specified in the uplink resource grant during the TTI.

Abstract:
Preamble and header bit allocation for power savings within multiple user, multiple access, and/or MIMO wireless communications. Within a multi-user packet, information (e.g., partial address information) related to a recipient group of wireless communication devices (e.g., as few as one wireless communication device or any subset of a number of wireless communication devices, sometimes including all of the wireless communication devices) is emplaced within a PHY (e.g., physical layer) header of such a multi-user packet to be communicated within a multi-user (MU) environment. Such recipient indicating information can be encoded with relatively higher robustness (e.g., lower coding rates, lower ordered modulation, cyclic redundancy check (CRC), etc.) that remaining portions of the multi-user packet. Various portions of the remainder of the multi-user packet may respectively correspond to different wireless communication devices (e.g., a first field for a first wireless communication device, a second field for a second wireless communication device, etc.).
