摘要:
In a method for efficient retransmission of data, symbol accumulation is used to retransmit a packet received in error at a lower energy-per-bit level concurrently in the same frame with a new packet. The destination device receives the data transmission and retransmission, demodulates the signal, and separates the received data into the new and retransmitted packet. The destination device then accumulates the energy of the retransmitted packet with the energy already accumulated for the packet received in error and decodes the accumulated packet. The accumulation of the additional energy provided by the subsequent retransmissions improves the probability of a correct decoding. The throughput rate can be improved since the packet received in error is retransmitted concurrently with the transmission of the new data packet. The capacity is maximized since the retransmission of the packet received in error is at a lower energy level than that of the new packet. The method includes puncturing the code symbols of a data packet for transmission in accordance with a first puncturing pattern. If decoding of the punctured transmitted packet of data is unsuccessful, a negative acknowledgement is received at the source device and the code symbols of the data packet are then punctured in accordance with a second pattern for transmission in response to the receipt of the negative acknowledgement.

A method and apparatus for coordinating the time at which a mobile station (5) performs searches for alternative systems to which a hard handoff will occur. In one system which includes the present invention, the mobile station (5) receives a command which instructs the mobile station (5) as to when to tune to alternative frequencies in order to search for indications of the presence of an alternative system. In another system which includes the present invention, predetermined times are defined with respect to a reference point in time that is common to both a origination base station (10) and a mobile station (5). The mobile station (5) tunes to alternative frequencies to perform searches only during these predetermined times. In addition, the mobile station (5) coordinates the transmission of reports which indicate the results of searches for alternative systems such that these reports are only transmitted from the mobile station (5) when the mobile station (5) is tuned to the origination frequency.

A method for determining a current rate of a current frame in a communication system having a transmitter that transmits to a receiver, said transmitter transmitting each of a plurality of frames at the current rate, wherein said current rate corresponds to one of a plurality of rates, said method comprising the steps of: generating a plurality of error check values each based on whether said current frame has one of said plurality of values, wherein only first and second error check values of first and second rates favorably check, and wherein said first and second rates are from said plurality of rates; generating a plurality of error rate values each based on whether said current frame has one of said plurality of rates, wherein first and second error rate values correspond to said first and second rates; comparing said first error rate value to said second error rate value plus a first value based on a predetermined relationship; and determining that said current rate of said current frame is said second rate if said first error rate value has said predetermined relationship to said second error rate value plus a first value, and otherwise determining that said current rate is said first rate.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for controlling transmission power in a mobile communication system is disclosed. The method disclosed provides for a closed-loop power control method for variable rate transmissions. The power of transmissions is varied in accordance with the rate of the frames of data being transmitted. The transmission power between the rates can be a fixed or variable difference.

Embodiments disclosed herein address the need in the art for efficient management of grant, acknowledgement, and rate control channels. In one aspect, a list associated with a first station is generated or stored, the list comprising zero or more identifiers, each identifier identifying one of a plurality of second stations for sending a message to the first station. In another aspect, sets of lists for one or more first stations are generated or stored. In yet another aspect, the messages may be acknowledgements, rate control commands, or grants. In yet another aspect, messages comprising one or more identifiers in the list are generated. Various other aspects are also presented. These aspects have the benefit of reduced overhead while managing grant, acknowledgment and rate control messaging for one or more remote stations.

A mobile station comprising a receiver (590) for receiving signals, including parameter data (OFNLM) of an origination system (S1) representing a parameter value (MIN_RX_PWR, MIN_TOT_PILOT) of signals of a different, destination system (S2); a controller (52) coupled to the receiver for controlling the receiver to change between receiving signals of the origination communication system (S1) and receiving signals of the destination communication system (S2); and parameter measuring means (530, 540) for measuring a parameter of received signals of the destination communication system (S2), the parameter measuring means being coupled to the controller (520) to provide measured parameter data thereto. The received parameter data comprises control data (RETURN_IF_FAIL) indicating whether the mobile station should receive again signals of the origination communication system (S1). The controller (520) is arranged to operate by comparing the measured parameter with received parameter values (MIN_RX_PWR, MIN_TOT_PILOT), and controlling the receiver to receive again signals of the origination communication system (S1) based on the comparison of the measured parameter data and the received parameter data values and on the control data (RETURN_IF_FAIL). A corresponding method is also described.
