    Abstract: Techniques for time tracking diversity pilots are disclosed. In one aspect, an early and a late energy calculation is made on each incoming symbol using a first pilot sequence for despreading. The difference between the two energies is used to drive a tracking loop, which generates a time reference for producing a first pilot estimate and a second pilot estimate, the two estimates used for demodulating data. In another aspect, the early and late energies are made including a plurality of incoming symbols, the number of which corresponds to the number of symbols in a run of positive or negative values in an orthogonalizing sequence. The orthogonalizing sequence is used to generate a second pilot sequence from a first pilot sequence, the resulting second pilot sequence being orthogonal to the first. These aspects have the benefit of simplifying the hardware or processing steps required for transmit diversity time tracking, resulting in cost savings, power savings, simplicity of design, and the like.

    Abstract: Erasure detection and power control are performed for an intermittently active transport channel with unknown format. A receiver processes each received block and determines whether it passes or fails CRC. For each received block with CRC failure, the receiver performs erasure detection by computing a symbol error rate (SER) and energy of the received block, comparing the computed SER against an SER threshold, comparing the computed energy against an energy threshold, and declaring an erasure if the computed SER is less than the SER threshold and the computed energy exceeds the energy threshold. The SER and energy thresholds may be adjusted based on the average SER and the average energy for prior received blocks with CRC failures. For power control, an SIR target is increased by an UP step whenever an erased block is detected for the transport channel.

    Abstract: A wireless communications network (120) responds to each incoming call placed to a wireless communications device (134) by transmitting a call-paging message (418) within a corresponding partition of a digital radio frame of prescribed format. Responsive to each occurrence of a broadcast event (404), the network transmits (414) a repeating broadcast-paging message announcing the availability of broadcast content from the network. The broadcast-paging message is transmitted multiple times within each digital radio frame. Another sequence (500) describes WCD operation in this network. Responsive to wakeup (502) from sleep, the WCD detects (509) received signal quality. The WCD also receives (510) scheduled network transmission of a call-paging message and a number of instances (at least one) of a repeating network transmitted broadcast-paging message that occurs multiple times for each scheduled transmission of the call-paging message. This number varies inversely with the detected signal quality.

    Abstract: System(s) and method(s) are provided for generating phase-noise resilient channel quality indicator(s). A pilot signal utilized to determine a channel quality indicator is rotated to be aligned to a phase reference signal. Separate noise evaluations in quadrature and in-phase directions are utilized, at least in part, to generate a net noise estimate that is phase-noise compensated or resilient. For example, various combination schemes of quadrature and in-phase noise evaluations can be exploited to generate a net noise estimate, the schemes include weighted average of in-phase and quadrature noise estimates and running averages thereof. Simulation of net noise estimates as a function of geometry conditions reveal that the combination schemes provide substantive mitigation of phase-noise, thus making CQI generation phase-noise resilient.
