Abstract: A method for supporting broadcast transmissions and unicast communications in a wireless communication system is described. The method comprises supporting unicast communication in a first mode of operation wherein at least one unicast data transmission unit is encoded and communicated within a time-continuous sub-frame of a first length and a first number of timeslots. The method further comprises supporting broadcast transmission in a second mode of operation, wherein at least one broadcast data transmission unit is encoded communicated over a time period that comprises a discontinuous plurality of the time-continuous sub-frames of the first length.

Abstract: An efficient scheme for CDMA coding constructs codes by generating longer code sequences (430) via concatenation, from an existing set of short sequences (410, 420). The sequences may be spreading, scrambling and or training or channel estimation (such as midamble) sequences. The invention allows extension of sequences without performing an exhaustive search for sequences with optimal desired properties, as well as extension of the sequence duration to improve the detection of wanted signals via the use of a conventional matched filter, a multi-user detector or an adaptive filter/equaliser.

Abstract: Aspects of the invention include a root node of a wireless communication infrastructure that buffers data packets for transmission by base stations over an air interface. The root node determines a time delay for transmission of a data packet from the root node to each base station, a maximum time delay of those time delays, and a timing latency based upon the maximum time delay. The root node transmits the timing latency to the base stations. In response, each base station initiates transmission of data packets received by the root node after expiration of the timing latency. Alternatively, the root node, instead of the base stations, may buffer the data packets, and transmit them so that they arrive at the base stations at substantially the same time.

Abstract: A multi-user detector (200) and method (300) for use in a cellular CDMA system (100) based on: estimating (210) spare code resource available in a first cell of the system; selecting (220) at least a second cell neighbouring the first cell; selecting (230) from codes associated with the second cell at least one additional code; and performing (240) multi-user detection processing in the first cell with the at least one additional code. On the downlink, codes from other users in the same cell may be treated with the same level of priority as those of users from neighbour cells, codes allocated to the UE having the highest priority; on the uplink, codes of all users in the same cell may have the same priority which is higher than that of neighbour cell users. This provides the advantage(s) that multi-user detector capacity arising from operating under high interference conditions is employed to accommodate users from neighbour cells, with the result that both intracell and intercell interference may be mitigated.

Abstract: Processing of a received code division multiple access, CDMA, burst (405) when a spreading factor of the CDMA burst (405) has been changed from an allocated spreading factor (SF0) to a new spreading factor (SFn). The received burst (405) is processed with a CDMA detector (310), using the allocated spreading factor (SF0), to provide a CDMA detector output; the new spreading factor (SFn) of the burst is determined; and the CDMA detector output is decimated by a factor determined from the new spreading factor (SFn). The decimator may be a FIR decimator (315) and tap weights may be determined using the values of the new spreading factor (SFn) and the allocated spreading factor (SF0). Application in a Node B (150A) of a UMTS system (100), particularly in UTRA TDD mode, for processing received uplink communication is described.

Abstract: A method (400) and arrangement (200) for mitigation of intercell and intracell interference in a 3GPP cellular communication system (100) by, in a receiver in a cell of the system, deriving for a first channel in the cell a signal, representative of first channel transfer function (A(1)); deriving for at least a second channel originating in a different cell a signal (A(2 . . . M)), representative of second channel transfer function, based on: deriving a cell specific scrambling code (s), deriving a channel impulse response (h), and deriving a channelisation code (c); and performing multi-user detection using the first and second signals. Where the channelisation code is unknown, a substitute channelisation code is preferably substituted. It will be appreciated that the technique can be applied to both downlink and uplink. This provides the advantage that both intra-cell interference and intercell interference are mitigated.

Abstract: An encoder and method for efficient synchronization channel encoding in UTRA TDD mode by: producing a codeword a, where a=dG+z modulo-2, where d represents a predetermined code group to be encoded, G represents a predetermined generator matrix, and z represents a function of the code group number and a row of the generator matrix; producing values sk=2a2k+1+ak;k=0, 1, 2, 3, and associated values b0,b1,b2; and producing a value Sssc associated with the code group, where Sssc=(b0cπ(0),b1cπ(1),b2cπ(2)), cπ represents a code within the code group, and b0,b1,b2ε(±1,±j). This provides an efficient encoding architecture for the synchronization channel in UTRA TDD mode; and, in addition, by simple manipulation of the generation matrix, a higher chip rate signal may be signalled while still preserving the signalling information for the lower chip rate.
