Abstract:
A communication method and a communication arrangement in a Code Division Multiple Access radio system is provided According to one embodiment, at least two transceivers of the radio system communicate with a packet switched connection through a radio interface. The quality of the packet switched connection is measured and a target Signal Interference Ratio is adjusted based on the quality measurement. When a transceiver receiving packets transmits a request to retransmit in the case of failure in reception of at least one packet, a transceiver transmitting packets is configured to retransmit each packet requested as a response to the request. The target Signal Interference Ratio for retransmission of a packet is set lower than the target Signal Interference Ratio for the first transmission of the corresponding packet.

Abstract:
A solution for radio resource allocation in a cellular telecommunication system is provided. According to the invention, the frequency bands of a plurality of cells of the telecommunication system are divided independently into more than one frequency band sub-block. User terminals within the coverage area of each cell are then allocated to the frequency band sub-blocks on the basis of the modulation and coding schemes used by the user terminals. Furthermore, transmission power of the user terminals is controlled on the basis of the allocation of the user terminals in order to improve data throughput.
Abstract:
A solution for radio access in a code division multiple access (CDMA)-based telecommunication system, in which orthogonal spreading codes are used for separating data of a plurality of user entities, is provided. According to the solution, a different pilot symbol sequence is allocated to each user entity, and the pilot symbol sequences of user entities are selected by allocating different frequencies for pilot symbol sequences of different user entities according to a frequency division multiple access (FDMA) technique in order to mitigate the effect of multiple access interference.
Abstract:
In one exemplary embodiment, a method includes: transmitting a value from an access node towards an apparatus, where the value is indicative of a size of a first portion of an uplink resource block, where the uplink resource block is shared among a plurality of apparatus, where the first portion is specified for transmission of a first type of signaling to the access node, where a second portion of the uplink resource block is specified for transmission of a second type of signaling to the access node; and receiving at least one transmission using at least one of the first portion and the second portion.
Abstract:
From the network perspective, an uplink resource allocation (PDCCH) is sent that grants an uplink resource to a plurality of user equipments UEs, and the allocation has an indication of a cyclic shift CS for each of the plurality of UEs. The granted uplink resource is mapped to a downlink resource (PHICH) in dependence on the indicated CS for each of the plurality of UEs. The mapping is such that for a predetermined number of UEs being allocated a same uplink resource in a single MU-MIMO uplink resource allocation grant, each pair of said predetermined number of UEs which map to an adjacent downlink resource exhibit an optimized CS relative to one another. The network sends to each of the respective plurality of UEs on the respective mapped downlink resource an indication (ACK/NACK) about data received (on a PUSCH). Apparatus, method, and computer programs for network and UE side implementations are detailed.
Abstract:
A method, apparatus and computer program which enable simultaneous transmission of a positive or negative acknowledge and channel state information and spatially bundle the positive or negative acknowledge bits corresponding to multiple transport blocks for each of a plurality of component carriers, where if there are two positive or negative acknowledge bits on a carrier component a logical “AND” operation is applied to bundle the two positive and negative acknowledge bits.
Abstract:
A reference signal cyclic shift (CS) is quantized as a combination of a cell specific CS with an outcome of a pseudo-random hopping, and an indication of the cell specific CS is broadcast in the cell. In one embodiment the CS is quantized as a modulo operation on a sum of the cell specific CS, the outcome of the pseudo-random hopping, and a user specific CS, in which case an indication of the user specific CS is sent in an uplink resource allocation and a user sends its cyclically shifted reference signal in the uplink resource allocated by the uplink resource allocation. The CS may also be quantized according to length of the reference signal as cyclic_shift_symbol=(cyclic_shift_value*length of the reference signal)/12; where cyclic_shift_value is between zero and eleven and cyclic_shift_symbol is the amount of CS given in reference signal symbols.
