    摘要: A user equipment (UE) located in an extended-range area of a neighbor base station cell in a communication network, such as a low-power cell in a heterogeneous network, can inform its serving base station, such as a macro cell overlying the low-power cell, of the UE's capability of canceling interference from other cells' transmissions. That capability information enables the serving cell to decide based on more information whether range extension of the neighbor cell is beneficial for a number of UEs, and can result in more efficient radio resource utilization.

    摘要: A method of decoding a block with a Soft Output Viterbi Algorithm (SOVA) using a trellis representation and a sliding window wherein each position of the sliding window has a path determination stage at one end of the sliding window and a symbol decision stage at another end of the sliding window is disclosed. The method comprises determining, for each path determination stage and for each node of the path determination stage, a surviving path (including a surviving path input symbol and a surviving decision stage node) and a concurrent path (including a concurrent path input symbol and a concurrent decision stage node) based on path metrics. A path metric disparity value is calculated and stored for each node. Based on decision criteria, a soft output value of the surviving decision stage node is determined as either of the path metric disparity value of the node of the path determination stage, a function of the path metric disparity value of the node of the path determination stage and the stored path metric disparity value of the concurrent decision stage node, and the stored path metric disparity value of the surviving decision stage node. Corresponding computer program product, decoder and communication apparatus are also disclosed the at least two incoming path transitions of each node consists of two incoming path transitions and the method further comprising maintaining a state register exchange unit wherein each register cell, corresponding to a node of the sliding window, and each register exchange connection, corresponding to a path transition between nodes, has a word length equal to one..

    摘要: A technique for decoding a signal in a communication network is provided. A method implementation of the technique comprises the steps of receiving a signal; identifying a position in the signal; initializing a Viterbi state metric; and decoding the encoded signal by means of a wrap-around Viterbi algorithm. The received signal comprises information, wherein the signal is encoded by a tail-biting convolutional code. The identified position relates to a known portion of the information. The initialized Viterbi state metric is consistent with the known portion of the information. The decoding uses the initial Viterbi state metric, wherein the decoding starts at a decoding step following the identified position.

    摘要: In one or more aspects, the present invention improves the efficiency of soft information transfer within a soft- value processing apparatus (10), by reducing in some sense the "amount" of soft information transferred between constituent processor circuits (12) within the apparatus (10), without forfeiting or otherwise compromising the transfer of "valuable" soft information. In one example, the soft values (18) produced by a constituent processor circuit (12-1 ) are identified as being reliable or unreliable according to a reliability threshold (28). Some or all of the unreliable values (24) are omitted from a soft value information transfer to another constituent processor circuit (12-2), or they are quantized for such transfer. The reduction in memory requirements for soft information transfer advantageously allows the use of lower power, less complex, and less expensive circuitry than would otherwise be required in the apparatus (10), which may be, as a non- limiting example, a Turbo receiver (70) in a wireless communication device (71).
