    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.

    摘要: A method and apparatus are provided for selecting an optimum base station for communicating with a terminal in a wireless communication system. A base station controller stores two candidate sets for each terminal within communication range of the base stations controlled by the base station controller. One candidate set lists base stations for which the channel quality of the uplink channel between the base station and the terminal is acceptable for communication. The other candidate set lists base stations for which the channel quality of the downlink channel between is acceptable for communication. This allows the base station controller to take into account the predominant direction of traffic when assigning base stations for communication with the terminal.

    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: Methods, receivers and transmitters all adapted to assist in the performance of layer 2 frame delineation are provided which are applicable in the context of OFDM, and also applicable to any layer 1 design facilitating high data rate transmission. Advantageously, the invention allows the identification of where a layer 2 frame begins notwithstanding the fact that the previous layer 2 header, which would normally be used to identify the location of the next layer 2 frame, has been received in error. As a consequence, rather than discarding considerable quantities of data after an erroneous header, for example all data until a super-frame boundary, layer 2 frames can be correctly received staring with the next header received in a non-erroneous layer 1 frame.

    摘要: A method is provided for adapting modulation schemes to changing channel quality with reduced overhead signalling. A remote unit measures the channel quality of a radio channel along which a signal from a base station reached the remote unit. Based on the channel quality, the remote unit determines a desired set of transmission parameters from a list of sets of transmission parameters. The remote unit determines a difference in position within the list between the current set of transmission parameters and the desired set of transmission parameters. The remote unit transmits the difference to the base station, which selects a new set of transmission parameters using the current set of transmission parameters and the difference. The method requires little signalling between the remote unit and the base station, and is particularly beneficial in communication systems employing many sub-carriers, such as OFDM systems.
