Abstract:
For radio transmission on the downlink the transmit power must be calculated also for that signals which shall be sent on the common physical channel, known as secondary common control physical channel (SCCPCH), in the Frequency Division Duplex mode of the Universal Mobile Telecommunications System. In the case where no data is transmitted in a SCCPCH frame, the transmit power level is not defined for SCCPCH data bits. Therefore the well-known adaptation of the TFCI and Pilot powers cannot be applied. The solution proposed here is to set or change the transmit indicator power of the TFCI indicator bits in dependence from a virtual reference power which is calculated from parameters comprising first power values preferably defined by the radio network controller (CRNC) or comprising second power values representing an average of that transmit powers which have been used to transmit that data within at least two of the preceding frames. The virtual reference power can also be a fixed power value which is signalled by the radio network controller or which is a hard-coded value stored in the base station. An advantage of is that the TFCI and the Pilot powers can both be calculated very easily by adapting them to the virtual reference power in the some manner as this is done in the normal case with respect to the data bit power.
Abstract:
A system (D) is dedicated to managing the size of a virtual buffer (MTV) of a rate matching system (SOD) for matching the transmission bit rate of blocks of data bits in a set of HS-PDSCH physical channels associated with an HS-DSCH downlink transport channel and set up between a base station of a communications network and one or more user equipments. The system (SOD) comprises: i) a first rate matching stage (FRM) for matching the number of input bits coming from the HS-DSCH transport channel of a block to be transmitted to the equipment to a selected number of intermediate bits, ii) a virtual buffer (MTV) able to store the selected number of intermediate bits until reception by the base station in the context of an HARQ procedure of an acknowledgement indicating correct reception of the block by the equipment (UE), and iii) a second rate matching stage (SRM) for matching the selected number of intermediate bits to a number of output bits equal to the maximum number of bits that can be transmitted by the set. The system (D) is adapted to supply a selected number of intermediate bits such that the first stage (FRM) is able to match the number of input bits to the number of intermediate bits and the second stage (SRM) is able to match the number of intermediate bits to the number of output bits that can be transmitted by the set without adding any bits.
Abstract:
A method for improving performances of a mobile radiocommunication system using a power control algorithm, wherein the system may be subject to transmission interruptions. The method uses the steps of: determining a preferred form in which the power control algorithm should better be implemented, when transmission is resumed after a transmission interruption, to better compensate for the effects of the transmission interruption on power control; and implementing the power control algorithm in the thus determined form.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method and system for improving the performance of a mobile radiocommunication system, through the use of a power control algorithm. In this invention, the performance of a mobile radiocommunication system is improved by regularly estimating if a certain criterion is met or satisfied, to determine if a power control algorithm should be deactivated or not. The estimation of whether or not the set criterion is met is based on the estimation of a deviation value, which is representative of a deviation between an estimated transmission quality and a target or desired transmission quality. Thus, the present invention aids in avoiding situations in which the power control algorithm would normally be wrongly activated and, therefore, improves the overall performance of the mobile radiocommunication system.
Abstract:
A method of improving the performance of a mobile radiocommunication system. According to the invention, a network element, known as the first element of the network transmitting to mobile terminals, receives at least one datum from at least one other network element, known as the second network element, said datum indicating the initial transmission power for transmission to a mobile terminal, in the case of radio link reconfiguration between the first network element and the mobile terminal, which can product a change n the transmission power for the radio link.
Abstract:
A method of managing processing resources in a mobile radio system, in which a first entity manages radio resources and corresponding processing resources, the latter being provided in a second entity separate from the first entity. The second entity signals to the first entity its global processing capacity, or capacity credit, and the consumption law, or quantity of the global processing capacity, or cost, for different spreading factor values. The first entity updates the capacity credit on the basis of the consumption law. In the case of multicode transmission using N spreading codes, the updating is effected on the basis of the cost for at least one of the N spreading codes.
