In a method for determining link level performance of random access channel (RACH) preamble detection in a wireless communication system, link level performance results may be obtained without having to perform extensive simulation. Link-level performance results of RACH preamble detection may be characterized by determining a conditional detection probability. The conditional detection probability may be conditioned upon an instantaneous channel coefficient, and the conditional detection probability may be expressed in terms of an instantaneous detection metric. Instantaneous link-level performance may be characterized using a look-up table, so that a system model evaluated in accordance with the method may accurately represent instantaneous system behavior.

Methods of reverse link power control are provided. In a first example reverse link power control process, a signal-to-interference+noise (SINR) is measured for a plurality of mobile stations. A power control adjustment is determined for each of the mobile stations based on the measured SINR for the mobile station and a fixed target SINR, the fixed target SINR being used in the determining step for each mobile station and sending the power control adjustments to the mobile stations. In a second example reverse link power control process, one or more signals are transmitted to a base station. A power control adjustment indicator indicating an adjustment to a transmission power level is received. The received power control adjustment is determined based on a measured signal-to-interference+noise ratio (SINR) for the one or more transmitted signals and a fixed target SINR threshold, the fixed target SINR threshold being used for power control adjustment of a plurality of mobile stations.
摘要:
Successfully decoded data received from a mobile terminal as well as the transmission format of that data is relayed over the backhaul from a base station receiver that successfully decoded the mobile terminal's transmission to the base stations in the mobile terminal's active set that presumably were unable to decode the mobile terminal's transmission due to inadequate signal-to-noise ratio. A base station that receives this transmission from the relaying base station that did'successfully decode and demodulate the mobile terminal's transmission is then able to reconstruct the data and subtract it from the total interference, thereby increasing the signal-to-noise ratio at this base station for its in-cell processing.
摘要:
Whether a receiver supports blind data channel detection is determined, and transmission of control channel information associated with a data channel is disabled if the determining step determines the receiver is capable of detecting the data channel without the use of control channel information. Data is transmitted to the receiver on the data channel without the control channel information after disabling of the transmission of the control channel information.

Improvements are provided in an OFDM network that uses superposition coding. A broadcast signal and e.g. a unicast signal are each subjected to OFDM modulation including processing by an IDFT, combined, and transmitted using non-orthogonal transmission resources. In one approach, the respective signals are combined after instead of before the IDFT processing. In specific examples, a respective cyclic prefix is appended to each signal after the IDFT processing but before the respective signals are combined. In another approach, a broadcast pilot signal and e.g. a unicast pilot signal are transmitted concurrently with the broadcast and unicast information signals. The pilot signals are transmitted using the same time and subcarrier resources, but are made more distinguishable by combining each with a respective scrambling or spreading code. In specific examples, embodiments, the unicast pilot signal is used for estimating the data rate for transmission of further unicast information signals.
摘要:
Disclosed is a method of setting reverse link traffic and pilot transmit powers in a wireless communications system based on traffic channel activity in order to lower average total transmit power on the reverse link and optimize reverse link capacity. As traffic channel activity decreases, the traffic transmit power relative to the pilot transmit power, i.e., traffic-to-pilot ratio (TPR), should increase. Increasing TPR will produce lower pilot transmit powers and higher traffic transmit powers. Although higher traffic transmit powers are undesirable, the effect on average total transmit power is lessen because the traffic channel is not active all the time. By contrast, the pilot channel is always active and, thus, it is desirable to sacrifice some performance of channel estimation in order to lower average total transmit power.
