摘要:
A method of determining a channel estimate of a first transmission channel in a communications system. The method comprises deriving a first set of channel estimates from symbols received through said first transmission channel; deriving a second set of channel estimates from symbols received through a second transmission channel in the communications system; determining a scale factor between the first and second sets of channel estimates from a least squares error criterion; and determining the channel estimate of the first transmission channel as a channel estimate of the second transmission channel scaled by the determined scale factor.

Methods, receivers, and computer program products for defining asymmetric decision regions of a symbol space to interpret transmitted power control commands are disclosed. A method of determining transmitted power control commands at a receiver can include defining a first decision region of a symbol space associated with a first power control command at the receiver and a second decision region of the symbol space associated with a second power control command at the receiver where the first and second regions are asymmetric with one another. Methods of determining a transmitted power control command during soft handover mode in a wideband code division multiple access communications system are also discussed wherein a first determination of a combined power control command received from a plurality of transmitters can be combined with a second determination of the combined power control command received from the plurality of transmitters to provide a combined power control command. Related circuits are disclosed as well.

The method and apparatus described herein uses variable length snapshot periods to determine signal strength measurements. A mobile station determines the measurement bandwidth associated with a base station, and sets the snapshot period based on the measurement bandwidth. The mobile station determines the signal strength of serving and neighboring cells during snapshot periods. Such signal strength measurements may be used to assist and/or direct handover operations.

Methods and apparatus for changing the transmission/reception setup of a base station (BS) in a communication network to another transmission/reception setup (such as one using fewer transmit antennas and/or lower channel bandwidths) without affecting communication with user equipments involve “replacing” the existing BS with a “virtual” BS that has the other transmission/reception setup. Replacement can be performed by, for example, ramping down the power of the existing, or first, BS, which has a respective first cell identification (ID), and simultaneously ramping up the power of the virtual, or second, BS, which has a respective second cell ID.

A technique for managing measurements for at least two subscriptions in a mobile terminal is described. A method implementation of this technique performed in the mobile terminal comprises the steps of determining a common carrier set being an intersection between the first carrier set associated with a first subscription and the second carrier set associated with at least one second subscription, performing a first measurement on the first carrier set, and the second measurement on the second carrier set excluding the common carrier set, and mapping results associated with the first measurement of the first subscription relating to the common carrier set to the at least one second subscription.

A radio network controller is operable in both a unicast signaling mode and a bi-cast signaling mode. In unicast signaling mode, the radio network controller is operable to send radio resource control signals to a mobile station through a serving cell. The radio network controller is operable to go into bi-cast signaling mode during a hard handover. In the bi-cast signaling mode, the radio network controller is operable to send radio resource control messages to the mobile station through both the current serving cell and a target cell. The mobile station is configured to listen to both the current serving cell and the target cell for radio resource control messages. User data, however, is transmitted only from the current serving cell to the mobile station.

A method of scheduling wireless data transmissions between a mobile terminal and a base station using multiple system carrier signals is disclosed. The method comprises receiving (101) in the mobile terminal information from the base station indicating available system carriers and transmitting from the mobile terminal information indicating the terminal's capability to handle non-contiguous system carriers; detecting (102) at least one dynamic parameter indicative of the terminal's current capability to handle non-contiguous system carriers; determining (103) from the dynamic parameter whether a situation has occurred in which the terminal's capability to handle non-contiguous system carriers has changed; transmitting (104), in such case, a connection release request to the base station; and transmitting (105) a connection setup request and information indicating the terminal's changed capability to handle non-contiguous system carriers to the base station. Thus system carriers that can be handled by the terminal in the present situation can be allocated.
摘要:
A adaptive method implemented by a mobile station improves the likelihood of detecting control messages transmitted to the mobile station in band on a shared downlink traffic channel. When the mobile station expects a control message to be transmitted on the shared downlink traffic channel, the mobile station may adapt the receiver configuration and/or receiver parameters to reduce a likelihood of missed detection of control messages. In one embodiment, the mobile station is configured to adjust a correlation threshold used for said scheduled transmission detection to reduce the likelihood of a missed detection.
