Data is transmitted from a radio communication device by selecting a signal dependent on data to be transmitted, transmitting to a radio communication station the selected signal as a random access transmission, deriving an identifier dependent on the data, and employing the identifier to identify a subsequently received signal intended for the radio communication device The data is received at a radio communication station by receiving the random access signal which is indicative of the data to be received, determining the data indicated by the random access signal, deriving an identifier dependent on the determined data, and including the identifier in a subsequent transmission from the radio communication station to identify the intended recipient of the subsequent transmission.

A radio communication station in a radio communication system having a plurality of radio communication devices, derives a quantization parameter and transmits the quantization parameter to the radio communication devices for use in subsequent quantization of a channel state metric. The radio communication devices receive the quantization parameter, determine a channel state metric, quantize the determined channel state metric by applying quantization ranges indicated by the quantization parameter, determine a data value indicative of the quantized channel state metric, and transmit a signal conveying the determined data value as a random access transmission.

The present invention relates to a method for allocating resources to a plurality of secondary stations for enabling communication between a primary station and the plurality of secondary stations, comprising the steps of a) grouping the resources into at least a first set of resources and a second set of resources; b) allocating a first resource of the first set of resources to a first secondary station, said first resource having a first index in the first set of resources; c) allocating a second resource of the second set of resources to the first secondary station, said second resource having a second index in the second set of resources being equal to the first index plus an offset based at least partly on other information known to the primary and first secondary station.
摘要:
In a radio communication system having a primary station and a plurality of secondary stations, the 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. In response to these commands the receiving station adjusts its output power in steps.By combining a plurality of received power control commands before adjusting its output power the receiving station may emulate the ability to use a smaller power control step size than its minimum, thereby improving performance under certain channel conditions. In one embodiment when the required power control step size is less than the minimum step size of a particular station, that station processes a group of power control commands to determine whether to adjust its output power by its minimum step size. In an alternative embodiment the power control step size is fixed when the combining algorithm is used. The invention is applicable to power control in both primary and secondary stations.
摘要:
A radio communication system has a random access channel for the transmission of data (214) from a secondary station to a primary station. Such a channel is intended for use by secondary stations having packets of data (214) to transmit to a primary station while not actually engaged in a call. The primary station transmits a random access channel availability (AV) message (302) once per frame to inform secondary stations about the resources currently available. Hence a secondary station can select a channel known to be free. If no channels are available the secondary station can avoid a wasted access attempt.
摘要:
A radio communication system has means for improving power control of a communication channel for the transmission of data after an interruption in the transmission. This is done by adjusting the transmission power immediately after the interruption by an offset from the power used before the interruption. The offset may be fixed or may be determined from the transmission power in the period before the interruption. This technique reduces, on average, the time taken for power control to be re-established, thereby addressing the problem that data transmissions immediately after the interruption are likely to be corrupted if the power level is too low, or to generate extra interference if the power level is too high.
摘要:
A radio communication system has a random access channel for the transmission of data (214) from a secondary station to a primary station. Such a channel is intended for use by secondary stations having data (214) to transmit to a primary station while not actually engaged in a call.By enabling access requests (202) to be transmitted with a greater range of possible signatures, a much greater number of degrees of freedom is available to a secondary station requesting access to a random access channel. This enables significantly improved efficiency of resource allocation by increasing the amount of information transmitted to the primary station by the access request (202).
