Abstract:
A method and system for link adaptation between a wireless multi-carrier access point (102) and a wireless multi-carrier communication device (104) is described. The wireless multi-carrier access point obtains a set of available LEP methods from the wireless multi-carrier communication device. The wireless multi-carrier access point selects an LEP method from the set of available LEP methods, based on at least one link parameter. The wireless multi-carrier access point then communicates the LEP method selected, to the wireless multi-carrier communication device. The selected LEP method is used during the transmission of information between the wireless multi-carrier access point and the wireless multi-carrier communication device.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for control channel transmission and reception is provided herein. In particular, the use of a partitioned and structured control channel is provided that leverages the benefits of common control while maintaining favorable aspects of dedicated control. During operation, control information is distributed over a number of partitions (201). Each Pi is encoded (607) with monotonically non-increasing reliability level. Control information for a given remote unit can be distributed on one or several partitions, from P1 to Pk, where Pk is encoded with the lowest reliability level that can be decodable by the remote unit at an acceptable error rate.
Abstract:
During operation radio frames are divided into a plurality of subframes. Data is transmitted over the radio frames within a plurality of subframes, and having a frame duration selected from two or more possible frame durations.
Abstract:
Received data packets are channel-encoded prior to fragmentation so that large data packets, which would not otherwise fit within the available frame resources, are transmitted by fragmenting the channel-encoded physical layer packet. Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request (H-ARQ) is then utilized to ensure reliability.
Abstract:
A method for providing a low-feedback scheme for link-quality reporting based on the EESM technique is provided herein. During operation, a node will analyze the current channel conditions and determine a non-linear approximation of the carrier to interference plus noise ratio (CINR). The non-linear approximation is sent to a communication unit as a channel-selectivity report, causing the communication unit to utilize the report to assist with modulation and coding selection.
Abstract:
A method in a communication system (100) includes transmitting from a source user (101) a first data packet (111) over a first time frame (121) having a finite time period (131), transmitting from source user (101) a second data packet (112) over a second time frame (122) immediately subsequent to first time frame (121), detecting an acknowledgment of acceptable reception of data packet associated with either first or said second data packets (111 and 112), repeating transmission of first and second data packets (111 and 112) in a sequence of first and second time frames (121 and 122) in a time frame sequence (190) until the detection.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for performing H-ARQ transmission is described herein. Bits received on a first transmission are stored and combined with the bits received on later transmissions thereby increasing the likelihood of a correct decoding on later transmissions. Additionally, a plurality of coding schemes (e.g., Convolutional Codes, Block Turbo Codes, Convolutional Turbo Codes, Low Density Party Check Codes, . . . , etc.) are utilized, with an information element being reserved to signal what form of H-ARQ is being utilized.

This abstract is not to be considered limiting, since other embodiments may deviate from the features described in this abstract. A method and structure of processing soft information in a block code decoder, includes a soft-input soft-output decoder (910) receiving a length n soft input vector, creating a binary vector Y corresponding to the length n soft input vector, hard decoding each linear function Xi of Y and a test pattern Zi of one or more test patterns, wherein if the hard decoding is successful a codeword produced by the hard decoding of the linear function Xi is added to a set S, removing redundant codewords in S to form a reduced set S′ (520), and an extrinsic value estimator (1140) generating n soft outputs based on c estimated soft output values and (n−c) non-estimated soft output values (530) wherein the c estimated soft output values are computed from one or more positions of the length n soft input vector and one or more codewords in the set S′.

Abstract:
Communications sourced by a remote unit (14) that is already within reception range of a base site (10) can nevertheless be further facilitated through allocation of one or more relay resources (15, 16). Such relay resources, properly employed, then serve to effectively increase the quality of service for the facilitated communication. This, in turn, can permit the use of, for example, increased data rates for communications from a relatively low power remote unit.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for broadcast services transmission and reception. Reception of a broadcast multicast transmission is requested. Preliminary short time updated key information is transmitted or received prior to transmitting or receiving a broadcast subscription key for the requested broadcast services transmission. An encrypted broadcast services transmission is transmitted or received. The encrypted broadcast services transmission is encrypted or decrypted using the preliminary short time updated key information.
