摘要:
A method and an apparatus are provided for efficient transmission of low-data-rate packet services in a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) mode of operations in the presence of high-data-rate packet services. Precoding weight information (PWI) is signaled implicitly to a wireless transmit receive unit (WTRU). A precoding weight vector is signaled in a high speed shared control channel less (HS-SCCH-less) transmission using a new HS-SCCH type P. This explicit PWI signaling approach transmits the PWI with minimum power overhead. The data carried in the HS-SCCH type P is encoded to minimize the required transmitted power. A channel type HS-SCCH type 2M is also described.

A method and apparatus for channel coding and rate matching of the Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) and the Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) is disclosed that uses convolutional encoding to code the control channels. Rate matching is performed using a circular buffer based rate matching algorithm. A rate matching module may contain a single interleaver or may alternatively comprise a plurality of sub-block interleavers. Interleaved coded bits may be stored in the circular buffer in an interlaced format, or output streams from separate sub-block interleavers may be stored contiguously. When a plurality of sub-block interleavers are used, different interleaving patterns may be used. Rate matching may use bit puncturing or repetition to match the rate of the available physical channel resource. Rate matched output bits may be interleaved using a channel interleaver.

An improved receiver and method estimate one or more parameters, such as amplitude and signal-to-noise ratio, of a received signal, such as an M-QAM or q-ASK signal. The amplitude of an M-QAM signal is estimated based upon known or ascertainable phase information regarding a plurality of transmitted symbols. The amplitude of a q-ASK signal is estimated based upon known or ascertainable magnitude information regarding a plurality of transmitted symbols. In another embodiment, the amplitude of an M-QAM or q-ASK signal is estimated based on statistical knowledge of the amplitude of the transmitted symbols. Other embodiments estimate amplitude, noise power, and signal-to-noise ratio of a received signal utilizing second-order and fourth-order moments of received samples, a maximum likelihood searching process, or a Kurtosis estimation process.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for correcting the phase and gain of data associated with a constellation pattern of a plurality of received individual symbols. Each symbol is divided into real and imaginary symbol components. The signs of the real and imaginary symbol components of each symbol are determined and used as a basis for determining whether the symbol is associated with a first or third quadrant of the constellation pattern or a second or fourth quadrant of the constellation pattern. The absolute values of the real and imaginary symbol components are determined and used to create a first sum and a second sum. A phase adjustment value θ and a gain adjustment value G are derived from the first and second sums, and are used to create a complex number. Each of the received individual symbols is multiplied by the created complex number to provide corrected constellation pattern data.
摘要:
A wireless communication apparatus which uses fast Fourier transforms (FFTs) in an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) receiver which incorporates a beam space antenna array. The beam space antenna array may be implemented with a Butler matrix array. The beam space antenna array may be a circular array, vertical array, or a combination of both circular and vertical arrays, for providing the desired angular antenna coverage. In one embodiment, the antenna array is optimized because the FFTs are linear invariant transform operators, whereby the order of operations in the OFDM receiver can be interchanged.

The invention provides embodiments to facilitate cell search. In one embodiment, received samples are split into a plurality of sample sets for processing. Each of the sets is processed and an accumulated result is divided by an estimated noise value. In another embodiment, a code correlator correlates the received signal with a primary synchronization code and an auxiliary code correlator having a same length as the code correlator correlates the received signal with a code having a low cross correlation with the primary synchronization code. In another embodiment, a division of an accumulated result with a noise estimate is performed using indexes of the most significant bits.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for estimating and reporting the quality of a wireless communication channel between a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) and a Node-B. A modulated signal is received from the Node-B over the communication channel and a channel estimation is performed on the modulated signal to provide a channel estimate. In one embodiment, the modulated signal is demodulated based on the channel estimate to provide a demodulated signal and a signal-to-interference (SIR) estimate based on the demodulated signal is obtained. The quality of the communication channel is estimated based on at least the SIR estimate. In an alternate embodiment, a SIR estimate based on the channel estimate is obtained. The quality of the communication channel is estimated based on the SIR estimate and additional information including at least one of delay spread, transmit power and WTRU velocity information.
摘要:
A method for multicasting a packet begins by providing a buffer for each of two user equipments (UEs) in communication with a base station. A determination is made whether there is a previously unsent packet at the base station. A second determination is made whether both UE buffers are non-empty. A non-empty buffer is flushed if there is no previously unsent packet and if one of the buffers is non-empty. A packet is selected to be transmitted if there is a previously unsent packet or if both buffers are non-empty. The buffers are updated based on feedback received from the UEs.

Systems and methods for channel quality indicator (CQI) feedback may be disclosed. At a current transmission time interval, precoder and/or modulation information that may be used at or associated with a future transmission time interval may be determined. As such, at a current transmission time interval, precoder and/or modulation information that may be used to select a modulation or coding scheme (MCS) and/or schedule transmission at a future transmission time interval may be predicted in the current transmission time interval. The precoder and/or modulation information may be broadcast and received such that the information may be used to estimate a channel quality indicator (CQI) at the current transmission time interval. The estimated CQI may be used to select a modulation and coding scheme (MCS), schedule transmissions, and the like.
摘要:
A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) receives a downlink subframe having multiple component carriers, each component carrier having control information encoded in a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH). The WTRU performs a blind decoding of control information in a first PDCCH located within a first component carrier to obtain a location of a second PDCCH located within a second component carrier, where the location of the second PDCCH is relative to a location of the first PDCCH as control channel element offset. The WTRU decodes the second PDCCH at the obtained location.
