    摘要: The method is for sending power control commands in a CDMA cellular radio system from a mobile station to a plurality of base stations with which the mobile station is in soft handoff. The mobile station receiving a signal from each of said base stations determines a power control command based upon the received signals. Such power control command is sent during a plurality of power control groups.

    摘要: Mobile stations in communication with several base stations in a cellular CDMA system (as when undergoing soft handoff) do not use the conventional “or of the downs” rule for assessing power control commands from base stations. Mobile stations assess the link quality of the links from the base station. If any base station displays link quality above a predetermined threshold and if that base station is requesting power reduction, power is reduced by a predetermined amount, delta. Otherwise, power is adjusted up or down by an amount less than or equal to delta according to the received power control signals from each base station in conjunction with a weight determined from the signal quality of the link from each base station.

    摘要: A method and apparatus are provided for error correction in a communication system employing Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing. When a remote unit receives an OFDM symbol, a retransmission indicator bit is examined to determine whether the symbol is an original symbol or a retransmitted symbol. If it is a retransmitted symbol and the remote unit has a corresponding symbol stored in memory, then the received symbol is soft-combined with the stored symbol. Each packet in the symbol, either the received symbol if original or the soft-combined symbol if retransmitted, is examined by the remote unit. If the remote unit determines that a particular packet is intended for the remote unit, but can not determine the contents of the payload of the packet, the remote unit sends a retransmission request to the base station for retransmission of the symbol. The base station determines whether the entire symbol or merely the packet should be retransmitted, based on such considerations as the size of the packet or whether there are additional requests for the symbol. The invention allows both soft-symbol combining and Automatic Repeat Request to be used as error correction techniques.

    摘要: A method and apparatus are provided for selecting and signalling the identity of sub-carriers to be used for transmission of data in a radio communication system, and for using other sub-carriers. A remote unit determines which sub-carriers are acceptable for use in data transmission by comparing the signal to interference ratio of each sub-carrier with a threshold. A sequence of numbers is generated using one set of values to identify acceptable sub-carriers and another set of values to identify unacceptable sub-carriers. The sequence of numbers is transmitted to a base station. The average signal to interference ratio of sub-carriers whose signal to interference ratio was above the threshold can also be transmitted to the base station, thereby allowing the base station to determine an optimum set of transmission parameters for use only in the acceptable sub-carriers. Alternatively, the remote unit can determine the optimum set of transmission parameters itself for transmission to the base station. As yet another alternative, the remote unit can determine an optimum Link Mode for each acceptable sub-carrier, and use a reference to the Link Modes as the set of values identifying acceptable sub-carriers. The base station transmits data over the acceptable sub-carriers at the optimum Link Mode or Link Modes. The base station may use some of the unacceptable sub-carriers for transmission of low sensitivity data at the optimum Link Mode, and may use some of the unacceptable sub-carriers for transmission of data at a lower Link Mode. The transmission power of any unused unacceptable sub-carriers can be diverted to other sub-carriers.
