Abstract: Methods and apparatus for avoiding power scaling and controlling transmit power in uplink data transmission are provided. If a user equipment (UE) would be transmit-power limited when transmitting data concurrently on an uplink high speed dedicated physical control channel (HS-DPCCH) and an uplink data channel, the UE may forgo building data for transmission on the uplink data channel to avoid power scaling. If the UE would be transmit-power limited when transmitting data concurrently on an HS-DPCCH and a dedicated physical control channel (DPCCH), the UE may reduce the transmission power of a portion of the data transmitted on the DPCCH to avoid power scaling. The UE may also boost transmission power of a negative acknowledge transmission above network-specified power level.

Abstract: UEs are adapted to facilitate detection and handling of deconstructive impacts of default weight factors employed before downlink and uplink synchronization is achieved in closed-loop transmission diversity communications. According to one example, a UE may receive transmissions sent using a default weight factor for transmission diversity. The UE may determine whether the default weight factor is causing a deconstructive impact on signal-to-interference ratio estimates for the received transmissions. When it is determined that the default weight factor is causing the deconstructive impact on the signal-to-interference ratio estimates for the received transmissions, the UE may employ an alternate closed-loop transmission diversity (CLTD) mode. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also included.

Abstract: UEs are adapted to facilitate calculation of signal-to-interference ratio (SIR) estimates in closed-loop transmission diversity (CLTD) communications before downlink and uplink synchronization is achieved. A UE may receive a transmission sent using transmission diversity. According to one example, the UE may calculate a plurality of signal-to-interference ratio (SIR) estimates for the received transmission, where each signal-to-interference ratio estimate is calculated using a different weight factor. The UE may further select one of the calculated signal-to-interference ratio (SIR) estimates to be employed for the received transmission. According to another example, the UE may calculate a signal-to-interference ratio (SIR) estimate for the received transmission without employing any weight factor. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also included.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes a method and an apparatus for pruning false peaks during slot synchronization at a user equipment (UE). For example, a method is provided to identify a plurality of first peaks associated with a primary-synchronization channel (P-SCH) received at the UE and a plurality of second peaks from the plurality of first peaks. Further, one or more pruning locations along with associated energy thresholds for each of the plurality of the second peaks may be determined and whether a peak of the plurality of the first peaks is a false peak is identified based on whether the peak is located at one of the one or more pruning locations of the peak and an associated energy value of the peak does not satisfy the associated energy threshold of the pruning location. Furthermore, the peak identified as the false peak is discarded.
