Abstract:
According to one aspect of this disclosure, a method for receiving information is provided, the method comprising determining whether there is a conflict between the reception of first information by a communication terminal from a first base station and the reception of second information by the communication terminal and depending on the result of the determination, controlling a receiver of the communication terminal to receive the first information from a second base station.
Abstract:
A communication device is described comprising a first antenna, a second antenna and a third antenna; a first transceiver configured to communicate using at least the first antenna; a second transceiver configured to communicate using at least the second antenna; and a controller configured to determine whether the third antenna is to be used by the first transceiver or the second transceiver based on a selection criterion and configured to control the first transceiver to communicate using the first antenna and the third antenna if the controller has determined that the third antenna is to be used by the first transceiver and to control the second transceiver to communicate using the second antenna and the third antenna if the controller has determined that the third antenna is to be used by the second transceiver.
Abstract:
A radio receiver apparatus includes a demodulator configured to output a decision variable indicative of a binary indicator signaled from a transmitter over a channel to the radio receiver apparatus. The radio receiver apparatus further includes a noise power estimator configured to generate noise power estimates indicative of noise experienced at the radio receiver apparatus. A binary indicator estimator is provided to generate an estimated binary indicator based on the decision variable and the noise power estimates.
Abstract:
A radio communication device may include: a transmitter configured to transmit data at a data rate which is based on a pre-determined maximum data rate which is pre-determined by another radio communication device; a determination circuit configured to determine a quality indicator which is indicative of a quality of the transmission of the data; and a data rate changing circuit configured to change the data rate to a changed data rate based on the determined quality indicator. The transmitter may further transmit at the changed data rate.
Abstract:
A radio communication device may be provided. The radio communication device may include: a receiver configured to receive data using an antenna on a first carrier and a second carrier; an operation mode determination circuit configured to determine an active antenna operation mode based on information of the first carrier and information of the second carrier; and an antenna controller configured to control the antenna to operate in the determined active antenna operation mode.
Abstract:
A radio communication device may include: a receiver configured to receive a first signal in a first shared radio communication channel of a first cell and configured to receive a second signal in a second shared radio communication channel of a second cell, wherein the first signal includes an information and the second signal includes the same information; and a determination circuit configured to determine the information based on the received first signal and the received second signal.
Abstract:
A method includes receiving a signal including a co-channel interference, channel equalizing the received signal and processing the channel equalized signal based on a first precoding vector such that the co-channel interference is mitigated.
Abstract:
A user equipment includes a plurality of antennas to receive downlink signals from a base station, a plurality of receiver circuits each coupled to a respective one of the plurality of antennas to process the received downlink signals, an SIR estimation unit to estimate a quality of the received downlink signals, a power loop controller to generate transmit power control commands based on the estimated quality of the received downlink signals, the transmit power control commands being directed to the base station to adjust a power of the downlink signals and a diversity controller to selectively activate and deactivate one or more of the receiver circuits depending on the estimated quality of the received downlink signals.
Abstract:
A method of operating a Rake receiver circuit includes determining a first property of a first signal received over a dedicated channel and over a first transmission path. The method further includes determining a delay profile of a second signal and determining, on the basis of the delay profile and the first property, if the first transmission path is to be assigned to a Rake finger of the Rake receiver circuit.
