The propagation time for propagation of a radio signal (93) from a radio transmitting station to a radio receiving station (91) is estimated based on calculated correlation values (102), calculated energy values (101) and a known energy value. The receiving station (91) receives a series of received signals (93) that respectively correspond to radio signaling bursts transmitted by the radio transmitting station. Each of the radio signaling bursts includes a known signaling sequence. The calculated correlation values (102) are indicative of correlations between the received signals and the known sequence, the calculated energy values (101) are calculated for the respective received signals, and the known energy value is the energy of the known sequence.

Acknowledgment signaling in a multiple carrier environment is enabled with a multiple carrier codebook having code words that jointly encode acknowledgment for at least two carriers. For an example embodiment, there is a method in a remote terminal for acknowledgment uplink signaling in a multiple-carrier mode. First, a code word is determined that jointly encodes acknowledgment signaling for at least two carriers from a multiple carrier codebook that is stored in the remote terminal. The multiple carrier codebook includes eight code words that are defined to have a single carrier codebook as a sub-codebook of the multiple carrier codebook, each code word of the eight code words having a length of ten. The multiple carrier codebook achieves a minimum Hamming distance of four among the eight code words. Second, an uplink signaling message that includes the determined code word is transmitted from the remote terminal to a wireless network node.

According to the teachings presented herein, a method and apparatus for communication signal processing advantageously use a mix of parametric and non-parametric correlation estimation in communication signal processing. Non-parametric estimation generates an "overall" correlation estimate for a received communication signal, and parametric estimation generates a "component" correlation estimate. The component correlation estimate is removed from the overall correlation estimate to form a partial correlation estimate that is used to process the received communication signal at least initially, such as in a pre-equalization stage. The overall and component correlation estimates are generated as impairment and/or data correlation estimates.

A method in a network node for enhancing a channel estimate based on a Dedicated Physical Control Channel, DPCCH, between a user node and the network node is provided. The DPCCH has a first power. The network node receives (501) the DPCCH. The first power of the DPCCH is boosted with additional power, resulting in a second power. The network node then obtains (502) a channel estimate based on the DPCCH comprising the second power. As soon as said channel estimate is obtained, the network node removes (503) the additional power from the DPCCH based channel estimate.

Embodiments herein relate to a method in a network node (12,15) for managing transmit power of a user equipment (10) in a cellular network (1); wherein the network node (12,15) is comprised in the cellular network (1) and serves the user equipment (10). The network node (12,15) increases a power of a control channel of the user equipment (10). The network node (12,15) further limits a power increase of a data channel to a level by reducing a power of a serving grant of the user equipment (10) an amount, which amount corresponds to the increased power of the control channel. The network node (12,15) also reduces a reference value of the data channel for maintaining a transport block size of the data channel, which reference value determines mapping from the serving grant to the transport block size.

A method in a network node for estimating a channel from a user node to the network node is provided. The network node receives first pilots. The network node receives (502) additional pilots from the user node. The network node estimates (503) the channel based on the additional pilots. The additional pilots are any one out of: pilots in an existing channel, modified to create space for the additional pilots, and an existing mechanism modified to be used as the additional pilots.

Methods and nodes in a communication system for conveying N additional bits with a block of data. A method in an encoding node involves determining (302) the respective value of the N additional bits, and selecting (304) a code based on the N values. The block of data is then encoded (306) by use of the selected code. A method in a decoding node involves determining (510, 608) which code, from a predetermined set of candidate codes associated with different possible combinations of values of the N additional bits, that was used for encoding the block of data. The respective values of the N additional bits are then determined based on the determined code. The methods and nodes enable that the N additional bits may be conveyed and determined in the decoding node in an efficient way, without decoding the block of data and at low computational complexity.

摘要:
A mobile communication station in (MS1) a wireless communication network is used to measure the respective times of arrival of radio signals respectively transmitted by a plurality of radio transmitters (23, 28) in the network. The mobile communication station is provided with real time difference information indicative (RTDs) of differences between a time base (60) used by a radio transmitter (23) serving the mobile communication station and respective time bases used by the other radio transmitters. The mobile communication station determines, in response to the real time difference information and relative to the time base used by the radio transmittter serving the mobile communication station, a plurality of points in time at which the respective radio signals are expected to arrive at the mobile communication station. For each radio signal, the mobile communication station monitors for arrival of the radio signal during a period of time after the point in time at which the radio signal is expected to arrive.
