摘要:
The present invention relates to fast random access methods and arrangements for the enhanced uplink dedicated channel of E-UTRAN (Evolved Universal terrestrial radio access network). A user equipment (UE) being in a low activity state sends a random access request comprising a preamble on a physical random access channel (PRACH) to a NodeB. The NodeB receives the request and sends in response to the received random access request a response comprising information associated with detection of the preamble on an acquisition indicator channel (AICH). The response comprises further in an extension of the AICH an indication of an action to be taken by the UE. In an embodiment of the present invention the action is to access the E-DCH and the response comprises configuration parameters to the E-DCH.

Conventional mode adaptation does not account for the gain imbalance between channels for measurement and for data reception. Therefore, the precoder, which is selected based on the measurement channel, may not be the optimal precoder for the data reception channel. By maintaining relative SINR ordering between transmission modes, a receiver may select the transmission mode for a transmitter that maximizes the actual throughput even in the presence of inter-antenna gain increase or decrease.

Techniques for generating soft values for parity bits in a convolutional decoding process are disclosed. An exemplary method comprises, for each of at least one iteration in at least one soft-input soft-output decoder, calculating intermediate probability values for each possible transition between a first plurality of candidate decoder states at a first time and a second plurality of candidate decoder states at a second time. Two or more partial sums are then computed from the intermediate probability values, wherein the partial sums correspond to possible combinations of two or more systematic bits, two or more parity bits, or at least one systematic bit and at least one parity bit. Soft values, such as log-likelihood values, are then estimated for each of at least one systematic bit and at least one parity bit of the received communications data corresponding to the interval between the first and second times, based on the partial sums.
摘要:
A receive signal processor jointly detects two or more symbols in a signal-of-interest in the presence of one or more other MIMO signals. The signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio for each signal-of-interest is determined by computing per-subcarrier signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratios for a plurality of subcarriers allocated to the signals-of-interest, and computing a total signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio for the subcarriers based on the per-subcarrier signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratios of the subcarriers. A controller determines one or more transmission formats for uplink transmissions based on the signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratios. The process of computing per-subcarrier signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio reflects the amount of MIMO interference already cancelled or still remaining in the signal arriving at the joint detector.

A receive signal processor jointly detects a signal-of-interest with one or more other signals. The signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio for the signal-of-interest is determined by computing per-subcarrier signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratios for a plurality of subcarriers carrying the signal-of-interest, computing per-subcarrier capacities for the subcarriers based on the per subcarrier signal to interference ratios, and computing a total signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio for the subcarriers based on the per-subcarrier capacities of the subcarriers.

Acknowledgment signaling in a multiple carrier environment is enabled with a multiple carrier codebook having code words that jointly encode acknowledgment for at least two carriers. For an example embodiment, there is a method in a remote terminal for acknowledgment uplink signaling in a multiple-carrier mode. First, a code word is determined that jointly encodes acknowledgment signaling for at least two carriers from a multiple carrier codebook that is stored in the remote terminal. The multiple carrier codebook includes eight code words that are defined to have a single carrier codebook as a sub-codebook of the multiple carrier codebook, each code word of the eight code words having a length of ten. The multiple carrier codebook achieves a minimum Hamming distance of four among the eight code words. Second, an uplink signaling message that includes the determined code word is transmitted from the remote terminal to a wireless network node.

摘要:
A method and apparatus for generating channel quality information, such as may be used for transmit link adaptation, provide different operating modes, such as a first mode that may be used when propagation channel estimates are not reliable, and a second mode that may be used when the propagation channel estimates are reliable. In one or more embodiments, channel quality information is generated using receiver performance information that characterizes receiver performance in terms of a defined channel quality metric, e.g., supported data rates, for different values of receiver input signal quality over a range of propagation channel realizations. Channel quality information can be generated by selecting channel quality metrics according to receiver input signal quality and a desired probability of meeting a defined performance requirement over a range of propagation channel realizations, or by selecting channel quality metrics according to receiver input signal quality and particularized propagation channel realizations.

A control channel for MIMO users operating in conjunction with an HS-DSCH system shares channelization codes with an HS-SCCH control channel. MIMO control channel information can be signaled from a transmit antenna selected based on information produced by the intended recipient. The modulation format used by a MIMO control channel can be selected based on the number of antenna streams in the corresponding MIMO data transmission.
摘要:
A communications signal representing symbols encoded according to respective portions of a spreading sequence is decoded. Time-offset correlations of the communications signal with the spreading sequence are generated. The time-offset correlations are combined to generate first estimates for the symbols. Intersymbol interference factors that include a relationship among different portions of the spreading sequence are determined, and a second estimate for one of the symbols is generated from the first estimates based on the determined intersymbol interference factors. An intersymbol interference factor may include a relationship between a first portion of the spreading sequence associated with the one symbol to a second portion of the spreading sequence associated with another symbol and may be determined, for example, from the spreading sequence and a channel estimate for a channel over which the communications signal is communicated. The invention may be embodied as methods and apparatus, for example, as a receiver included in a communications apparatus, such as a wireless terminal, wireless base station, or other wireless, wireline or optical communications apparatus.
