Abstract:
Techniques for sending control information in the header of multiple packets are described. The techniques may allow more control information to be sent using a small number of overhead bits per packet. In one design, a first node (e.g., a network entity) may determine control information to send to a second node (e.g., a UE or another network entity). The first node may send the control information in the header of multiple packets toward the second node. In one design, the control information may include congestion information indicative of traffic congestion at the first node. The congestion information may be sent using Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN) bits in the header of IP packets. The first node may send the control information with or without coding and for all packets or a specific data flow. The first node may also send a synchronization sequence prior to the control information.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus are described including receiving channel condition feedback from a device over a wireless channel, determining response to the channel condition feedback if a forward error correction coding rate is sufficient for the device to recover lost data, adjusting the forward error correction coding rate responsive to the second determining act and generating forward error correction packets using the adjusted forward error correction coding rate from source data.
Abstract:
Techniques for sending signaling for data transmission in a wireless communication system are described. A transmitter may process signaling for a data transmission based on a block code, a convolutional code, a transformation, etc. The signaling may comprise an identifier of an intended receiver for the data transmission and/or other information such as data rate, resource assignment, etc. The signaling for the data transmission may be mapped to a first set of tones in a time slot. Data for the data transmission may be mapped to a second set of tones in the time slot. The entire signaling may be sent on the first set of tones. Alternatively, the first set of tones may be selected from among multiple sets of tones or pseudo-randomly selected from among available tones based on a first part of the signaling. A second part of the signaling may be sent on the first set of tones.
Abstract:
The embodiments of the invention relate to a method for a first network node (NN1) for transmitting or retransmitting data to a second network node (NN2). The method contains receiving at the first network node (NN1) from the second network node (NN2) a feedback parameter (FP) in response to a first transmission (DT1) of at least two data segments (DS1-1, DS2-1, DS3-1) of a data packet. The feedback parameter (FP) is a number of counted data segments of the at least two data segments (DS1-1, DS2-1, DS3-1) incorrectly received or lost or correctly received at the second network node (NN2) by the first transmission (DT1). The method further contains determining at the first network node (NN1) for a second transmission (DT2) to the second network node (NN2) the data (DS1-2, DS2-2, DS3-2, NCS, DS11R, DS21R, DS31R) as a function of the feedback parameter (FP) and transmitting or retransmitting the data (DS1-2, DS2-2, DS3-2, NCS, DS11R, DS21R, DS31R) by the second transmission (DT2) from the first network node (NN1) to the second network node (NN2). The embodiments of the invention further relate to a further method for the second network node (NN2) for receiving data transmitted or retransmitted from the first network node (NN1). The further method (MET-NN2) contains determining at the second network node (NN2) the feedback parameter (FP) in response to the first transmission (DT1) from the first network node (NN1) to the second network node (NN2), transmitting from the second network node (NN2) the feedback parameter (FP) to the first network node (NN1), and receiving at the second network node (NN2) the data (DS1-2, DS2-2, DS3-2, NCS, DS11R, DS21R, DS31 R) by the second transmission (DT2) from the first network node (NN1). The embodiments of the invention further relate to a first computer program, the first network node (NN1), a second computer program and to the second network node (NN2).

Abstract:
In a compressed mode, a spread spectrum communication device interleaves bit units across multiple frames using an interleaver, reduces the spreading factor using a framing/spreading unit, outputs the compressed mode frames at a predetermined compressed mode frame timing, and increases the average transmission power in the compressed mode at a radio frequency transmitter. Furthermore, a handover between different frequencies is carried out by establishing synchronization to another frequency carrier, based on a first search code and a second search code which have been detected, and moreover, a handover between different communication systems is carried out by establishing synchronization to a GSM, based on an FCCH and a SCH which have been detected.
