Abstract:
The invention relates to a method and an arrangement for reducing the amount of messages sent in a communication network comprising a first communication network entity, a second communication network entity connected to said first communication network entity over a communication interface and one or more user equipments connected to said second communication network entity over a radio interface, whereby messages are sent on said interfaces using at least a first and a second protocol. General rules are provided for sending first protocol messages packed inside second protocol messages, so called “piggybacking”, and each first protocol message is provided with an instruction field defining a co-ordination of procedure steps to be taken for performing an action.
Abstract:
In one disclosed embodiment, data information is stored in a buffer in a transmitter. The data information is transmitted on a shared channel and control information for recovering the associated data information is transmitted on a dedicated channel. The shared and dedicated channels can be, for example, different portions of the frequency band. The control information can include a spreading factor used to spread the data at the transmitter. For example, the spreading factor can be the length of the Walsh function orthogonal coding used to spread the data. The control information is received over the dedicated channel before the associated data information is received over the shared channel. The control information is then used to recover the associated data information. For example, knowing the spreading factor from the control information, the correct Walsh function can be selected to de-spread, i.e. to Walsh de-cover, the data information.
Abstract:
One or more aspects of the disclosure provide an efficient equalization scheme capable of mitigating multi-path interference on channels with large delay spread using short-length equalizers. That is, by dividing stored samples of a signal received on the multi-path channel by time into a plurality of clusters, a short-length equalizer can be utilized in an iterative fashion on each of the clusters, thus eliminating the need for a large length equalizer while still providing improved performance over that of a Rake receiver at large delay spreads. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also claimed and described.
Abstract:
In order to improve the reception quality of a shared channel signal transmitted on uplink or downlink, the present invention provides a mobile terminal apparatus that transmits a shared channel signal on uplink by using a predetermined number of basic frequency blocks out of a plurality of basic frequency blocks divided from a system band, each of the basic frequency blocks having a predetermined bandwidth. When receiving, on downlink, control information for frequency hopping of the shared channel signal over different basic frequency blocks, the mobile terminal apparatus maps the shared channel signal in sub-carriers in the different basic frequency blocks in such a manner that frequency hopping is performed over the basic frequency blocks in accordance with the control information, and radio-transmits a transmission signal after mapping to a base station apparatus.
