Abstract:
A multi-bit HARQ feedback is transmitted by a receiver to a transmitter. The multi-bit feedback is a function of a level of convergence reached by a decoder when the previously transmitted coded data bits bit were decoded. The transmitter is configured to select a set of coded data bits for a retransmission as a function of the multi-bit feedback. In some embodiments, different redundancy versions of the coded data bits may be selected as a function of the multi-bit feedback. In other embodiments, a bit puncturing or bit repetition pattern may be selected as a function of the multi-bit feed back.

Abstract:
The present invention discloses a GSM/CDMA dual-mode mobile phone and method of the same for inhibiting a GC mutual interference, wherein the mobile phone comprises a dual-port antenna connected respectively with a duplexer and a GSM RF circuit and configured to access the signals of the GSM and the CDMA; a RF switch provided in the CDMA RF receiving circuit, wherein the RF switch is controlled by a GSM baseband chip and configured to cut off a CDMA signal (i.e., cutting off a receiving path of the CDMA) transmitted/received by the dual-port antenna when a GSM operational frequency and a CDMA operational frequency belong to close frequency band during a transmitting timeslot of the GSM, to enhance the isolation between a GSM signal and a CDMA signal. The present invention inhibits interference of GSM transmission with the CDMA receiving in the circuit, achieves high isolation, and also simplifies design of the antennas, lowers requirements of the double antennas on the appearance and volume of the overall machine, and improves the flexibility in the design of the dual-mode mobile phone.
Abstract:
Techniques for efficient searching in asynchronous systems, such as W-CDMA, as well as multi-mode searching, are disclosed. In one aspect, step one and step three search are performed in a single search engine. In another aspect, a search engine is configurable to search the offsets of a slot in step one search, producing sequential hypothesis energies, and peak detecting and sorting those energies. In yet another aspect, the peak detector and sorter are configurable to perform step one searching or step three/multimode searching. Various other aspects of the invention are also presented. These aspects have the benefit of circuit area and search-time efficiency which translate into reduced costs, increased standby time, increased acquisition speed, higher quality signal transmission, increased data throughput, decreased power, and improved overall system capacity.
