摘要:
In a disclosed embodiment, signal levels of the active sectors of an access terminal are compared with the signal level of the current serving sector of the access terminal (204). Next, a delta credit is accumulated (206). If a DRC lock bit is available, then an accumulated total credit is authorized to produce an authorized accumulated total credit (208), (210). Afterwards, a new serving sector is identified from a pool of candidate sectors based on the signal levels of the active sectors and the authorized accumulated total credits (212).

Method and apparatus for variable length Physical Layer (PL) packet generation. Multiple Security Layer (SL) packets may be multiplexed into a single PL packet to increase efficiency, wherein the SL packets may have variable lengths. In one embodiment, different format SL packets for different users are combined into capsules that form the PL packet. Shorter packets are for users in poor channel conditions or requiring smaller amounts of data due to the applications and the accompanying Quality of Service (QoS) requirements. In one embodiment, a modified Preamble structure provides for Unicast or multi-user packets. Alternate embodiment provides modified Rate Sets, a mechanism for identifying ACK from a single-user packet or a multiplexed packet (delayed ACK). ON/OFF keying for ACK channel v/s bi-polar keying used in IS-856, and/or multi-valued interpretation of DRC.

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.

摘要:
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.
摘要:
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.
摘要:
A power control system for controlling the transmission power in a system wherein the transmission power may be gated or capped. The receiver employs a combination of closed loop and outer loop power control. The outer loop is frozen upon detection by the receiver that the signal has been capped or gated.

Method and apparatus to compute the combiner coefficients for wireless communication systems for a space-time solution. One embodiment trains the weights on a signal known a priori that is time multiplexed with other signals, such as a pilot signal in a High Data Rate, HDR, system, wherein the signal is transmitted at full power. A Minimizing Mean Square Error, MMSE, approach is applied allowing weight combining on a per path basis. The weights are calculated as a function of a noise correlation matrix and spatial signature per path. The noise correlation matrix is determined from an autocorrelation matrix of the received signal. In one embodiment, the MMSE approach is applied to a non-time gated pilot signal.
