摘要:
To address the need to convey ACK/NACK information in a manner that conserves system and signaling resources, embodiments of the present invention employ a Node-B transmitting on two types of ACK/NACK broadcast channels (501, 502), one type for received uplink data that was scheduled by the Node B and the other type of broadcast channel for received uplink data that was not scheduled by the Node B. Other embodiments of the invention employ a Node-B transmitting on two types of broadcast channels, one type of broadcast channel for received uplink data that comes from non-SHO users and another type of broadcast channel for received uplink data that comes from non-scheduled users or comes from scheduled SHO users. In addition, ACK/NACK information is scheduled (800) into the available broadcast channel time slots in accordance with a transmission priority that is determined by a scheduler.

A wireless communication system (100) and method for providing high speed uplink packet access from user equipment (128, 130) to a base station (114, 116, 118, 120). Each of the user equipment (128, 130) and the base station (114, 116, 118, 120) includes a transmitter (1106, 1206), a receiver (1104, 1204), and a controller (1108, 1208) coupled to the transmitter and the receiver. Data packets are transmitted from the user equipment (128, 130) to the base station (114, 116, 118, 120). Control information, corresponding to the data packets, is transmitted from the base station (114, 116, 118, 120) to the user equipment (128, 130). The control information includes an absolute grant channel indicator and/or channelization code(s) assigned to the user equipment (128, 130). The controller (1108) of the user equipment (128, 130) is configured to minimize a number of channelization code per scheduling active set cell to be monitored by the user equipment based on the absolute grant channel indicator and/or to utilize the channelization code(s) in response to handoff and/or entering an active channel state.

Embodiments described herein address the desire to have a method for uplink rate control signaling that is able to achieve increased sector and user throughput with relatively high uplink spectrum efficiency. Rate control signaling embodiments are disclosed that use two common persistence values (404, 408) to update the allocated portion of RoT margin for each UE device, and thus, reduce the variation of the RoT. In addition, SHO information is used to control the inter-sector/cell interference and improve the sector throughput. In such embodiments, each UE determines (412) the data rate and time to transmit according to these common persistence values, SHO status and buffered data. Throughput comparable to that of time and rate schedulers, which require significantly more signaling and information, can be achieved by some of these embodiments while also exhibiting less sensitivity to delay, speed of the UE, and burstiness of the traffic.

A communication is provided that schedules both Distributed Virtual Resource Blocks (DVRB) and Localized Virtual Resource Blocks (LVRB) in a same frequency channel, thereby obtaining the benefits of frequency selective scheduling while minimizing the uplink feedback overhead. In one embodiment of the invention, the communication system assigns one or more downlink Physical Resource Blocks (PRBs) of multiple downlink Physical Resource Blocks (PRBs) to each user equipment (UE) given an LVRB to produce at least one reserved PRB and multiple non-reserved PRBs and assigns a part of each PRB of the multiple non-reserved PRBs to a UE given a DVRB. In another embodiment of the invention, the communication system assigns PRBs pre-reserved for localized transmission to UEs scheduled for LVRBs and assigns parts of multiple PRBs pre-reserved for distributed transmission to each UE given a DVRB.

A communication system provides downlink acknowledgments corresponding to uplink transmission using hybrid automatic repeat request to multiple users in an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing communication system, wherein a frequency bandwidth comprises multiple frequency sub-carriers, by spreading each acknowledgment of multiple acknowledgments with a selected spreading sequence of multiple spreading sequences to produce multiple spread acknowledgments, wherein each acknowledgment is intended for a different user of the multiple users, and distributing the multiple spread acknowledgments across the multiple frequency sub-carriers.
摘要:
Various embodiments are described which can serve to mitigate interference between the control channel signaling of adjacent sectors/cells. Potentially, these techniques may have the benefit of reducing the system resource drain caused by control channels, particularly control channels in high frequency-reuse, OFDMA systems. A transmitting device (101) transmits primary control channel information to a plurality of user devices (102). The primary control channel information includes an indication that a first OFDMA resource region (e.g., 320 or 330) is assigned to at least one user device of the plurality of user devices. The transmitting device correspondingly transmits secondary control channel information to the at least one user device using the first OFDMA resource region.
摘要:
A base station (101) of a cellular communication system (100) comprises a receiver (105) and a channel quality processor (111) which receive channel quality indications from a communication unit (103). The base station (101) further comprises a transmitter (107) for transmitting signals to the communication unit (103). A first power control processor (115) controls the transmit power in response to a first power control mode of operation and a second power control processor (117) controls the transmit power in response to the second power control mode of operation. A rate processor (113) determines a rate of change indication for the channel quality indications and a selector (119) selects between the first power control mode and the second power control mode in response to the rate of change indication. The power control mode of operation may be modified to suit the current channel variations of the communication channel. The invention may be applicable to an HSDPA service in a UMTS cellular communication system.
摘要:
A user equipment (UE) operating in an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing communication system transmits Layer 1 and Layer 2 user data non-associated and user data associated control signaling on an uplink by puncturing user data information with the user data non-associated and user data associated control signaling to produce a data stream wherein the control signaling and user data information are multiplexed. The UE then conveys the punctured data stream to a radio access network via an air interface. The communication system further provides for a selection of a coding and modulation for the control signaling based on a modulation and coding scheme of the user data and a transmission scheme that is applied for transmission of the user data information over the air-interface.

摘要:
To address the need for a resource allocation scheme that results in a better tradeoff between the cell-edge performance and the overall spectral efficiency, a communication system is provided that allocates uplink transmit power to user equipment (UEs) based on a fractional power control scheme. In another embodiment, since the cell-edge users are also likely to be power limited, the communication system may implement a minimized uplink transmission bandwidth resource allocation scheme that may work with the fractional power control scheme to achieve a level of performance desired for uplink transmissions in 3GPP (Third Generation Partnership Project) and 3GPP2 Evolution communication systems.
