Techniques are provided for a demodulation and decoding method and apparatus for a given user equipment device to receive a one or more Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplex (OFDM) symbols over a control channel, where the OFDM symbols comprise a plurality of resource element groups distributed in time and frequency that are combined to form control channel elements. Those resource element groups that form specific control channel elements for the user equipment device and those resource element groups that form common control channel elements for one or more user equipment devices including the given user equipment device are identified. The resource element groups that form the specific control channel elements and the resource element groups that form the common control channel elements are demodulated to generate encoded control messages comprising one or more control channel elements.

The current invention provides simplifications to the user equipment (UE) radio front end module for the cellular handset or dongle through modification of the existing 3GPP specifications for LTE and WCDMA/HSPA+ in order to support half duplex (HD) operation. The option to support HD operation is provided without mandating upgrades to all existing base stations that have already been deployed. The instant invention further prevents HD UEs from attaching to any base stations which do not support HD operations. The instant invention further provides inter-frequency cell search periods for enabling HD UEs to communicate with any base stations/cells supporting the HD operations. The instant invention further enables the HSPA+ system to support the HD-FDD mode.

Techniques are provided for decoding tail-biting convolutional codes by using information within the received data stream that traditionally has not been used or been available to the convolutional decoder, e.g., cyclic redundancy check (CRC) and bit information known by both the transmitter and receiver. Further, a single parallel trace-back is used that reduces implementation complexity. In addition, the least reliable decisions made during forward processing may be reversed in order to generate additional possible codeword candidates. These techniques can be used to reduce false detection rates (FDRs) and/or detection error rates (DERs).

Techniques are provided for reducing interference in a wireless network. A user equipment device in a first wireless coverage area of a wireless network using a time division duplex transmission scheme to designate a maximum timing advance value for uplink transmissions based on potential interference between uplink transmissions made by the user equipment device in the first wireless coverage area or at least one other user equipment device in the first wireless coverage area, and downlink transmissions intended for at least one user equipment device in a second wireless coverage area of the wireless network. The maximum timing advance value may be based on relative cell radii or other cell properties of the first and second wireless coverage areas. A base station may determine the maximum timing advance and transmit the maximum timing advance to the user equipment device.

Techniques are provided that can extend the efficiency of a switching regulator further into the low current region by making use of the available knowledge on predictable load variations and voltage ripple tolerance across different states, providing improved efficiency and reducing total current consumption. The load current requirement in low power states is provided using switch mode rather than linear regulation, the switch mode operation being controlled by a mode dependent control circuit so as to minimize the energy cost of the switching operation in each mode and thus obtain improved efficiency from the power source.

Techniques are provided for a radio link quality monitoring method and apparatus wherein a given user equipment device receives a plurality of Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplex symbols that comprise a plurality of resource elements distributed in time and frequency, and which include reference symbols. The objective of the radio link quality monitoring is to predict the user equipment detection probability of control messages transmitted by the base station. The radio link quality estimation process calculates two average signal to noise ratio values over the complete frequency bandwidth for two assumed control channel formats corresponding to in-sync and out-of-sync conditions. The results of the calculations are then used to deduce the average error probabilities that are compared with predefined thresholds to provide the in-sync/out-of-sync indications.
