Abstract:
A signal processing device (D) is installed in a base station (Node B) of a cellular communications network, for example. Said device (D) comprises processing means (MT) adapted to effect preamble detection, as a function of detection parameters, on each signal sent by a requesting terminal (UE) in an authorized access slot and representative of a preamble of a request to access the network associated with an authorized signature. The processing means (MT) are adapted, on receiving a signal requesting access to the network sent by a requesting terminal (UE), to determine a value for at least one detection parameter chosen as a function of at least one selected parameter representative of the radio environment of the requesting terminal so as to adapt the detection of the received signal dynamically as a function of the radio environment of the requesting terminal (UE).
Abstract:
A method of controlling transmission power in a mobile radio system in which a power control algorithm controls transmission power as a function of a transmission quality target value, wherein a target value is varied to compensate the effects of a compressed transmission mode in which transmission is interrupted during transmission gaps and the bit rate is increased correspondingly to compensate the transmission gaps. The target value variation includes a first component for compensating the effects of the increase in bit rate and a second component for compensating other effects of transmission gaps. A corresponding anticipated variation of the transmission power is applied, and the anticipated variation of the transmission power corresponds to an approximate value of the target value variation obtained by a process of approximation from the second component.
Abstract:
A first rate matching stage matches a number of input bits coming from a transport channel including a high-speed downlink shared channel (HS-DSCH) of a block of data bits to be transmitted from a base station of a communications network to one or more pieces of user equipment (UE) to a selected number of intermediate bits as determined by the buffer size management system. A virtual buffer stores the selected number of intermediate bits. A second rate matching stage matches the selected number of intermediate bits to a number of output bits equal to a maximum number of bits that is guaranteed to be transmitted by a set of high-speed physical downlink shared channels (HS-PDSCH) associated with the transport channel in a given time interval without adding bits.
Abstract:
A method of managing processing resources in a mobile radio system in which a first entity manages radio resources and corresponding processing resources provided in a separate second entity. The second entity signals to the fist entity its overall processing capacity and the amount of that overall processing capacity required for allocating radio resources for different bit rate values. The first entity then updates the capacity credit on each allocation of radio resources as a function of the corresponding bit rate.
Abstract:
A device controls an outer loop (5) for controlling the adjustment of a primary target value (SIRc) of an inner power control loop in a multiservice telecommunications installation. The external control loop (5) feeds the inner loop with the primary target value (SIRc) corresponding to a service. The device includes control means (9) adapted, if there are at least two different services in the installation, to select one service dynamically and as a function of a selected criterion so that the outer loop can determine a primary target value (SIRc) corresponding to the selected service.
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.

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.
