    摘要: The invention provides a method for efficiently defining E-RACH resources at least partly with reference to R99 RACH resources. This is achieved such that very little additional signaling is required on the BCH. E-RACH resources may be efficiently defined by signaled or predetermined differences from the R99 RACH resources. Resources for each PRACH are broadcast using the BCH. However, some UEs are configured to use E-RACH, for example by means of higher-layer signaling. In one embodiment, the resources available for each E-RACH for the configured UEs are given by the same set of signatures but the scrambling code and sub-channels are different. In another embodiment, the resources available for each E-RACH for the configured UEs are given by the same set of scrambling codes, but the signatures and sub-channels are different. In a typical, but not exclusive embodiment, the invention is applied in UMTS WCDMA.

    摘要: A method for transmission of control information from a primary station to at least one secondary station, includes transmitting with a first set of control information parameters control information corresponding to data transmission with a first set of data parameters, and transmitting with a second set of control information parameters control information corresponding to data transmission with a second set of data parameters. At least one control information parameter has a difference in value between the two sets of control information parameters, where the difference in value has a dependency on the difference between the value of a data parameter in the first set of data parameters and the value of the data parameter in the second set of data parameters. The data parameter is a different parameter from the at least one control information parameter.

    摘要: A communication system includes a downlink indicator channel for the transmission of an indicator signal indicating that a data packet is scheduled to be transmitted on a downlink data channel from a primary station to a secondary station. In response to detection of the indicator signal, the secondary station transmits a status signal, for example a negative acknowledgement signal, on an uplink channel to the primary station immediately before transmission of a positive or negative acknowledgement signal to indicate the status of the received data packet. By providing the primary station with two chances to detect the case where the secondary station fails to detect the indicator signal, peak power requirements of the uplink channel can be reduced, thereby reducing system interference levels.

    摘要: A secondary station has a receiver capable of resolving signals received as a plurality of multipath signals from a plurality of base stations during a soft handover process. This capability may, for example, be provided by a Rake receiver. In order to decode and act upon the received signals in a very short period of time, signals arriving after a predetermined time are not processed by the receiver which is able instead to process weaker signals which arrived before the time. Such a secondary station is particularly suitable for decoding and acting upon power control commands included in received signals in a UMTS system, for which a very limited period of time is provided by the UMTS specification. The predetermined time may be the time after which signals are received too late for use in determining the next power control change.

    摘要: A communication system comprises a downlink data channel for the transmission of data packets from a primary station to a secondary station and two uplink control channels, a first channel for transmission of status signals to indicate the status of received data packets and a second channel for transmission of pilot information. In operation, on detection (402) of a data packet the secondary station increases (404) the transmission power of the second channel, thereby enabling the primary station to obtain a better estimate of uplink channel properties and hence increase the accuracy with which it can decode the status signal. The secondary station transmits (406) the status signal, typically either an acknowledgement (ACK) or negative acknowledgement (NACK), and decreases (408) the transmission power of the second control channel signal. The increase and decrease in power are not necessarily identical, for example as a result of the effects of power control.

    摘要: A secondary station has a receiver capable of resolving signals received as a plurality of multipath signals from a plurality of primary stations during a soft handover process. To decode and act upon the received signals in a very short period of time, the duration of an offset between a downlink timing reference and an uplink timing reference may be varied by the secondary station. By choosing a suitable value for the offset, the secondary station can reduce the changes to the uplink timing reference. The downlink timing reference and/or the offset may be determined from the timings of received downlink signals. The secondary station may request a primary station to adjust the timing of its downlink transmissions to increase the amount of time available for processing the signals by, for example, arranging for downlink signals from the primary station supplying the strongest signal to be received first.

    摘要: In a radio communication system having a primary station and plurality of secondary stations, power of uplink and downlink channels between the primary station and a secondary station is controlled in a closed loop manner by each station transmitting power control commands to the other station. Responsive to these commands receiving station adjusts its output power in steps. By considering a plurality of received power control commands receiving station may emulate the ability to use power control step sizes other than those it directly implements, for example step sizes smaller than its minimum or intermediate between implemented step sizes. Performance can thereby be improved under certain channel conditions. In one embodiment when required power control step size is less than the minimum step size of the receiving station, that station processes a group of power control commands to determine whether to adjust its output power by its minimum step size.
