The present invention provides a method and apparatus for adapting a current path delay estimate for path delay tracking. In order to determine the path delay an operating mode is selected and a set of hypothesized path delays are determined based on said operating mode. A metric for each hypothesized path delay is determined, and a current path delay estimate is adapted based on the computed metrics for the hypothesized path delays.

Methods and wireless receivers (5) are disclosed for estimating a propagation channel response that includes two closely spaced delays. An exemplary method comprises selecting (720) a plurality of receiver processing delays for sampling the received signal so that that the receiver processing delays span two closely spaced channel response delays, and calculating (730) an average channel coefficient magnitude over at least a first number of time slots of the received signal, for each of the receiver processing delays. The exemplary method further comprises estimating (740) delay timing for each of the two channel response delays, based on the average channel coefficient magnitudes and a multi-delay superposition model for the channel response, and calculating (750) complex channel gains for each of the two channel response delays, based on the estimated delay timings and channel response measurements taken over a second number of time slots that is less than the first number of time slots.

A method for maintaining synchronization of a user terminal (UE) in a radio communication system is proposed, wherein resources reserved for transmissions of random access signals are divided into at least one first portion for contention-based communication, and at least one second portion of said resources for contention-free communication, and wherein a user terminal (UE) is assigned at least one resource of the portion assigned to the contention-free communication, for transmitting signals for maintaining synchronization.

Adaptive reconfiguration of a wireless receiver is enabled based on channel geometry. According to an embodiment, the wireless receiver includes a geometry factor processing module and signal processing modules, e.g. such as but not limited to an SIR estimation module, a power estimation module, a despreading module, a low-pass filter, a combing weight generation module, a coefficient estimation module, a synchronization control channel interference canceller module, etc. The geometry factor processing module determines a geometry factor for the channel over which signals are transmitted to the wireless receiver, the geometry factor being a measure of the ratio of total transmitted power received by the wireless receiver to total interference plus noise power at the wireless receiver. One or more of the receiver signal processing modules are reconfigurable based on the geometry factor.

A method of selecting a transport format (11) for transmission of data blocks between a base station and a mobile terminal in a wireless telecommunications system, wherein the mobile terminal is capable of moving at a speed relative to the base station, comprises determining (101) transport formats (11) possible for transmission of data blocks from the device (1); and determining (102) for each possible transport format a set of quality metrics (12). The method further comprises determining (103) for each possible transport format modified sets of quality metrics (13, 14, 15, 18) in dependence of speed and code rate for different speeds; estimating (104) the speed of the mobile terminal, and selecting (105) one of said possible transport formats (11) for transmission of a data block in dependence of said estimated speed and said modified sets of quality metrics (13, 14, 15, 16). This provides a method of selecting a transport format (11) with improved performance in high speed conditions.
摘要:
A set of channelization codes to be monitored is divided into two groups. The first group includes those codes for which an associated symbol modulation and transmit-diversity scheme is known. In the second group are those codes that are characterized by an unknown symbol modulation or unknown transmit-diversity scheme. The quality of the transmission of each code is then evaluated, using a metric. The metric in turn is used to determine whether the code should be used in estimating the covariance matrix by correlating the RAKE data corresponding to the code (i.e., by computing a correlation matrix for the code) or by first subtracting the channel estimates from the channel samples before correlation (i.e., by computing a covariance matrix for the code). An impairment covariance matrix is computed from the covariance matrices and correlation matrices so computed.

It is described a method for determining a received data block by employing a Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request procedure. The described method comprises calculating (104) first soft-information values being associated with a first reception of the data block, storing the calculated first soft-information values in a first buffer (121), and calculating (104) second soft-information values being associated with a second reception of the data block, wherein the second reception results from a retransmission of the data block following the first reception. The described method further comprises rate matching (128) a first soft data block comprising the calculated and stored first soft-information values, rate matching (118) a second soft data block comprising the calculated second soft-information values, and decoding (152) a combination of the rate matched first soft data block and the rate matched second soft data block. It is further described a radio receiver arrangement, a computer-readable medium and a program element, which are all adapted for carrying out and/or for controlling the described received data block determination method.
