    摘要: For wireless networks that transmit synchronization signals allowing user equipment to synchronize to cells within the network and transmit reference signals allowing user equipment to determine cell identities, a method and apparatus taught herein advantageously link the synchronization signal sequences to the reference signal sequences according to a defined mapping. The linking simplifies the cell search process by allowing user equipment to determine cell identities based on mapping detected synchronization signal sequences to the corresponding reference signal or to the corresponding subset of reference signals in embodiments where there are more reference signal sequences than synchronization signal sequences. In at least one embodiment, the network is a 3G LTE network and at least the Primary Synchronization Signal (P-SyS) sequences are linked to the Downlink (DL) reference symbol sequences according to a defined mapping, thereby allowing to user equipment to determine cell identities from detected P-SyS sequences.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus for changing the transmission/reception setup of a base station (BS) in a communication network to another transmission/reception setup (such as one using fewer transmit antennas and/or lower channel bandwidths) without affecting communication with user equipments involve “replacing” the existing BS with a “virtual” BS that has the other transmission/reception setup. Replacement can be performed by, for example, ramping down the power of the existing, or first, BS, which has a respective first cell identification (ID), and simultaneously ramping up the power of the virtual, or second, BS, which has a respective second cell ID.

    摘要: Mechanisms to provide independent DRX (discontinuous reception) functionalities for individual carriers of a multi-carrier wireless network (200) are described. DRX is a higher layer functionality indicating which TTIs (transmission time intervals) a user equipment (220) needs to read for control signals. Operating in the DRX cycle allows the user equipment (220) to reduce battery consumption. A connection is established between a base station (210) and the user equipment (220) over a plurality of carriers, where for each carrier, an independent DRX cycle is established. The plurality of carriers include anchor carriers which can carry commands from the base station (210). The anchor carriers have shorter DRX cycles than the non-anchor carriers. When a large amount of download data is to be transferred, the DRX cycles of multiple carriers are overridden and used for transfer to achieve fast download rates. The override commands are sent from the base station (210) to the user equipment (220) prior to the transfer.

    摘要: Ascertaining a signal power of an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) signal involves ascertaining a plurality of channel estimates from the OFDM signal. Compensating phase shift values for phase aligning the plurality of channel estimates are estimated and used to generate phase corrected channel estimates. The phase corrected channel estimates are coherently combined, thereby ascertaining the signal power of the OFDM signal. The compensating phase shift values may be based on a channel characteristic (e.g., delay spread) or may alternatively be hypothesized.
