摘要:
In a CDMA data communication system capable of variable rate transmission, utilization of beamforming techniques decreases the average interference caused by transmissions of a base station (104) to subscriber stations (112) in neighboring cells (124). Base stations (102, 104) utilize multiple transmit antennas (106, 108), each transmitting signals at controlled phases, to form transmit signal beams (110, 118, 122) corresponding to individual subscriber stations (112, 116, 114). Data and reference signals are transmitted along beams (110, 118, 122) that change according to fixed time slots and subslots in order to maximize carrier-to-interference ratios (C/I) measured at subscriber stations (112, 116, 114).

摘要:
A transmitting terminal, transmits signals in a form of packets to a receiving terminal, if the packet was intended for the receiving terminal, if so, the receiving terminal demodulates the packet. The receiving terminal then computes a quality metric of the packet, and compares the computed quality metric with a quality metric contained in the packet. If the quality metrics match, the packet is forwarded for further processing. If the quality metrics fail to match, the receiving terminal sends a request for retransmission of the packet. The transmitting terminal determines which packet needs to be retransmitted based on the request for retransmission. If delivery of the packet in accordance with the aforementioned description fails, retransmission in accordance with conventional sequence-number-based schemes, e.g., radio link protocol, is attempted.
