摘要:
In a wireless communication system, there is a method of generating and transmitting signaling information from a user, where user control information may be appended as a header to a data block, and the data block and header may be encoded and transmitted as a signaling message from the user. In a method of scheduling a user for transmitting information, a signaling message, which may include user control information, is received from a user. A scheduling grant message that may include an allocated data rate may be transmitted in response to the received signaling message. The user control information may include one or more of buffer status information of the user, reverse pilot channel transmit power information and data related to a soft handoff (SHO) status of the user.

In the method, information from a user is transmitted over one or more communication channels of a wireless communication system by code multiplexing transmissions in the code domain. The method may include code multiplexing a first information from the user over a first channel with a second information from the user over a second channel, and determining a transmission format for the first and second channels. The transmission format may be determined based on one or more of available transmit power, transmission time interval, a coding dimension used for multiplexing, and transmit power used per code. The first information and second information are transmitted over the respective channels based on the determined transmission format.

The performance of closed loop transmit diversity (CLTD) systems may be improved, in accordance with aspects of the present invention, by encoding antenna control information fed back from a mobile station to a base station. As compared to prior art CLTD systems that send antenna control bits in unencoded feedback messages, encoding the antenna control information may result in reduced feedback delays and reduced transmission power. Further, in accordance with some aspects of the present invention, the antenna control bits may be fed back to the base station on a common feedback channel also used to feed back channel quality indication, thus reducing processing overhead.

A method that globally allocates resources of a communication system. A global fast scheduler receives global CQI information from UEs of a communication system. The global fast scheduler determines a resource allocation value and assigns a UE to any available cell site that is a member of the active set of the UE and which can service the UE in accordance with the determined resource allocation value.

An adaptive incremental redundancy (i.e., Hybrid ARQ) method is described for retransmitting information in a communication channel of a wireless communication system. More specifically, code multiplexing is used within fixed length frames in order to change the number of codes, modulation, and coding on retransmissions to provide the desired redundancy for successful decoding. The operation of adaptive Hybrid ARQ in the code domain also provides finer granularity in which to efficiently transmitting redundancy. In one illustrative embodiment, a method for retransmitting information in a communication channel having a plurality of fixed length frames each divided into a plurality of time slots of equal duration includes the step of code multiplexing a retransmission of a previous transmission within one of the fixed length frames using one or more of a plurality of codes. The number of codes used for the retransmission is variable based on the condition of the communication channel.
摘要:
The error detection method includes decoding a portion of each control channel that is simultaneously received by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system. The UE is provided with techniques to determine if one or more of the control channels were successfully received during the decoding step. If more than one control channel was successfully received, the method selects only one of the successfully received control channels based on calculated path metric differences (PMD) that serve as a “tie-breaking” mechanism to select the correct control channel for a particular UE.

Errors in closed loop transmit diversity (CLTD) feedback signaling may be detected and/or corrected by a mobile station, according to aspects of the present invention, based on signals received from a base station. The mobile station is generally configured to compute antenna weights to be applied at the base station and feed back corresponding antenna control bits to the base station, as in conventional CLTD systems. However, rather than automatically process subsequent transmissions received from the base station as if the base station properly received the antenna control bits and applied the computed antenna weights, the mobile station attempts to determine the antenna weights actually applied at the base station, and uses these determined antenna weights for processing the subsequent transmissions. Accordingly, even if a feedback signaling error occurred, resulting in the base station using the wrong antenna weights, the mobile station may properly process the transmissions. According to some aspects of the present invention, the base station transmits (feeds forward) antenna control bits actually received from the mobile station on a feed forward channel, and the mobile station processes subsequent transmissions using antenna weights generated based on the fed forward antenna control bits.
摘要:
A method for processing control information in a wireless communications system is described in which portions of the control information are separately encoded and decoded such that transmission format information for a corresponding data transmission can be determined with a reduced set of decoded control information. The control information is convolutionally coded using either a single set of tail bits or by judiciously dispersing the tail bits among different portions of the encoded signaling information.
摘要:
A composite signaling message part is formed to include at least two segments, each segment including data identifying a different user equipment (UE). The part further includes a cyclic redundancy code (CRC) generated by jointly encoding the at least two segments. In a further aspect of the method, more than one shared control channel jointly carrying a signaling message are power controlled such that each shared control channel carrying more data associated with one of the UEs is power controlled in accordance with that UE.
摘要:
In a wireless communication system, there is a method of transmitting over a reverse link, where a medium access control layer multiplexes data from upper level layers onto transport channels that are used based on whether the user is in a scheduled transmission mode or an autonomous transmission mode. The transport channels may be mapped to one or more physical channels associated with a particular transport channel, based on whether the transport channel is dedicated for use in the scheduled or autonomous mode.
