Method and apparatus for feedback error detection in a wireless communications systems
摘要:
Errors in closed loop transmit diversity (CLTD) feedback signaling may be detected and/or corrected by a mobile station, according to aspects of the present invention, based on signals received from a base station. The mobile station is generally configured to compute antenna weights to be applied at the base station and feed back corresponding antenna control bits to the base station, as in conventional CLTD systems. However, rather than automatically process subsequent transmissions received from the base station as if the base station properly received the antenna control bits and applied the computed antenna weights, the mobile station attempts to determine the antenna weights actually applied at the base station, and uses these determined antenna weights for processing the subsequent transmissions. Accordingly, even if a feedback signaling error occurred, resulting in the base station using the wrong antenna weights, the mobile station may properly process the transmissions. According to some aspects of the present invention, the base station transmits (feeds forward) antenna control bits actually received from the mobile station on a feed forward channel, and the mobile station processes subsequent transmissions using antenna weights generated based on the fed forward antenna control bits.
