摘要:
A method and apparatus allow for reliable and low-complexity decoding of EGPRS2 communication bursts when RTTI and BTTI equipment operate on the same timeslot(s). Various configurations for the Uplink State Flag (USF) mapping employ adjustable bit swapping of some or all USF channel-coded bits in communication bursts. Configurations that allow for an adjustable use of the symbol mapping stage in the transmitter and receiver to allow for more throughput and/or reduced complexity are also disclosed. Admissible mapping rules are known to the receiver and transmitter and therefore reduce the complexity of decoding this information. In order to increase throughput for EGPRS2 communication bursts, RTTI transmissions of different modulation types or EGPRS/EGPRS2 modulation and coding schemes during a BTTI interval are introduced that allow for reliable USF decoding and reduced decoder complexity.

A method and apparatus for time-based fast positive acknowledgement (ACK)/negative acknowledgement (NACK) reporting (FANR) operation with enhanced general packet radio service 2 uplink (HUGE) are disclosed. A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) configures downlink FANR operation and EGPRS-2 mode uplink transmission not to be in conflict. A modulation and coding scheme (MCS) for the EGPRS-2 mode may be limited to an MCS containing at most two RLC data blocks. Alternatively, three or more piggybacked ACK/NACK (PAN) bits may be used for a time-based FANR operation if an EGPRS-2 mode is configured. Alternatively, at least one PAN bit may indicate an ACK/NACK for a group of RLC data blocks. The number of PAN bits for a time-based FANR operation may be configured by the network. The downlink FANR operation may be dynamically switched between time-based and SSN-based.

A wireless transmit receive unit (WTRU) configured to indicate REDHOT and HUGE multi-slot capability to a network. The REDHOT multi-slot capability is included in a MS Classmark 3 information element and a MS Radio Access Capability information element. In another embodiment, DLDC operation in an evolved GERAN system includes both single carrier and dual carrier modes. Monitoring in single carrier mode reduces battery consumption. Various techniques for enabling dual carrier mode are disclosed.

A method and apparatus of providing a piggybacked positive acknowledgement/negative acknowledgement (ACK/NACK) (PAN) field indicator (PANI) and a polling indicator are disclosed. A combined field of a PANI bit, a relative reserved block period (RRBP) bit and an EGPRS supplementary polling (ES/P) field may indicate a polling scheme and a presence of a PAN field. Alternatively, the presence of the PAN field in the data block may be indicated by using a specific training sequence. Alternatively, a forward error correction (FEC) coding may be performed on the data block including the header, and the presence of the PAN field may be indicated by scrambling the encoded bits corresponding the header with a specific scrambling sequence. Alternatively, a header check sequence (HCS) may be generated and the presence of the PAN field is indicated by mixing a predetermined sequence with the HCS.

摘要:
A method and apparatus to improve the quality of control signaling based on signaling messages controlling speech or data transmission over an air interface between at least two Multi-User-Reusing-One-Slot/Voice Services Over Adaptive Multiuser Channels On One Slot (MUROS/VAMOS) capable wireless transmit/receive units (WTRUs). The WTRUs communicate with each other at the physical layer via signaling messages transmitted in control channels such as Slow Associated Control Channel (SACCH) and Fast Associated Control Channel (FACCH). Speech services are provided simultaneously over the same physical channel, and the Timing Advance (TA) and Power Command (PC) parameters of a WTRU are multiplexed in several occurrences of the SACCH or FACCH to increase the number of channel bits available for channel coding.

摘要:
A method and apparatus may be used for increasing control channel capacity in Global System for Mobile communications (GSM). In a first method, the Multi-User-Reusing-One-Slot or Voice Services Over Adaptive Multiuser Channels On One Slot (MUROS/VAMOS) concept may be applied to timeslots or bursts carrying a Stand Alone Dedicated Control Channel (SDCCH). In a second method, the control signaling needed to support call setup for voice traffic may be switched over to a MUROS/VAMOS-capable traffic channel as early as possible instead of being handled through the SDCCH. In a third method, the channel coding format of the signaling bursts and/or bursts sent and received on the allocated traffic or SDCCH timeslots or resources may be modified to provide for additional link robustness and to overcome an intrinsic penalty when allowing for two simultaneous wireless transmit/receive units (WTRUs) on a timeslot used for signaling. In a fourth method, a WTRU may notify the GSM network that the WTRU is MUROS/VAMOS capable.
摘要:
Disclosed are multiple embodiments of method and apparatus to facilitate Multiple Users Reusing One Timeslot (MUROS) operation in wireless communications. A pair of wireless transmit/receive units (WTRUs) may be multiplexed onto a timeslot using a same pulse format. A WTRU may communicate on a network using MUROS technology both on the downlink (DL) and the uplink (UL), and may use a first pulse format on the DL and a second different pulse format on the UL. Pulse format support information to facilitate MUROS operation may be communicated between a network and a WTRU. The support information may be communicated in Radio Resource Control (RRC) messages. A network may allow for concurrent operation of WTRUs using different types of MUROS technology. For example, a network may include WTRUs using MUROS based on orthogonal sub-channels (OSC) while other WTRUs use MUROS based on an interference-canceling technology such as Downlink Advanced Receiver Performance (DARP) Phase I or Phase II.
