摘要:
A receiver includes a receiver circuit that decodes multiple signals of interest contained in a composite received signal. The receiver comprises a plurality of successive signal detection stages to detect respective signals contained in the composite received signal. Each detection circuit comprises at least one Generalized RAKE combining circuit and generates a detected signal at an output. Each but the last stage further comprises a signal regeneration circuit that cancels the signal of interest detected by that stage from a stage input signal provided to the next stage such that successive detection of the signals of interest benefits from cumulative cancellation of the previously detected signals.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for generating channel quality information, such as may be used for transmit link adaptation, provide different operating modes, such as a first mode that may be used when propagation channel estimates are not reliable, and a second mode that may be used when the propagation channel estimates are reliable. In one or more embodiments, channel quality information is generated using receiver performance information that characterizes receiver performance in terms of a defined channel quality metric, e.g., supported data rates, for different values of receiver input signal quality over a range of propagation channel realizations. Channel quality information can be generated by selecting channel quality metrics according to receiver input signal quality and a desired probability of meeting a defined performance requirement over a range of propagation channel realizations, or by selecting channel quality metrics according to receiver input signal quality and particularized propagation channel realizations.

A control channel for MIMO users operating in conjunction with an HS-DSCH system shares channelization codes with an HS-SCCH control channel. MIMO control channel information can be signaled from a transmit antenna selected based on information produced by the intended recipient. The modulation format used by a MIMO control channel can be selected based on the number of antenna streams in the corresponding MIMO data transmission.

摘要:
A base station schedules one of a plurality of mobile terminals based on an expected SIR of an effective traffic channel associated with a non-scheduled mobile terminal. The expected SIR is generated by computing the expected SIR of a hypothesized traffic channel with a pre-filter adapted to the non-scheduled mobile terminal that would result if the non-scheduled mobile terminal was scheduled. A base station then schedules transmissions to the plurality of mobile terminals based on the computed expected SIR. The expected SIR may be computed so as to compensate for mismatch between the hypothesized traffic channel and a pilot channel associated with the non-scheduled mobile terminal. Alternatively, the expected SIR may be directly computed based on an estimate of the pre-filter of the hypothesized traffic channel.
摘要:
A Doppler spread for a communications channel is measured by providing an estimate of the communications channel and generating an autocorrelation function for the estimate of the communications channel. One of a plurality of autocorrelation function hypotheses is selected to approximate the autocorrelation function for the estimate of the communications channel wherein each of the autocorrelation function hypotheses corresponds to a respective Doppler spread estimate hypothesis. One of the Doppler spread estimate hypotheses is selected corresponding to the selected autocorrelation function hypotheses as an estimate of the Doppler spread for the communications channel.
摘要:
Channel Quality Indicator (CQI) tables are tailored to one or more cells of interest. Tailoring CQI tables to individual cells permits devices such as radio base stations to more reliably and accurately allocate radio resources to those cells since channel conditions vary from cell to cell. According to one embodiment, a table of CQI values is composed by analyzing information indicating channel quality in a cell of interest and generating at least one table of CQI values tailored to the cell of interest based on the information analyzed. The tailored CQI table may be deployed to another device for use in reporting channel quality information. The device may report channel quality by accessing the tailored CQI and identifying the range of CQI values that includes a channel quality estimate derived by the device. The device generates a channel quality information message based on the identified range of CQI values.
