Abstract:
A low complexity RACH preamble detector is described herein. The RACH is filtered out of the received signal in the time domain through a low pass polyphase filter (22) and the decimated (24). By consequence the dimension of the FFT can be reduced. The RACH is extracted from the output of the FFT and it is correlated with a CAZAC frequency domain reference sequence (16). Thereafter, the signal obtained is transformed in the time domain (18) and a peak is retrieved (20).
Abstract:
In a UMTS wireless communication system, the enhanced dedicated physical control channel (E-DPCCH) that is usually always transmitted together with the enhanced dedicated physical data channel (E-DPDCH) on the uplink from a UE to a NodeB is instead only transmitted when a predetermined "start criterion" is met and is turned off when a predetermined "stop criterion" is met until a "start criterion" is later met again. The UE starts transmitting E-DPCCH whenever the corresponding E-DPDCH transport format combination is different from the previous one in the same HARQ process or some other "start criterion" is met. Multiple mechanisms can be used to decide when the UE should switch off E-DPCCH transmission after the transport format combination of E-DPDCH has changed.
Abstract:
To address the need for new interference cancellation techniques that are able to deliver adequate performance but with reduced processing requirements, various embodiments are described. In some embodiments, a receiving device demodulates and decodes (201) at least one first-group user from a multi-user input signal. This multi-user input signal includes at least one first-group user and at least one second-group user, the first-group users having a shorter transmission time interval (TTI) than the second-group users. The receiving device reconstructs 202) an interference signal for each of the first-group users that were successfully decoded and subtracts (203) each interference signal from the multi-user input signal to generate an interference-canceled signal. The receiving device then demodulates and decodes (204) at least one second-group user using this interference-canceled signal.
Abstract:
In a UMTS wireless communication system, when the packet size on the enhanced dedicated physical data channel (E-DPDCH) on the uplink from a UE to a NodeB reaches a converged default packet size, the corresponding dedicated physical control channel (E-DPCCH) is turned off. The NodeB uses the default packet size to decode the frame received on the E-DPDCH using each possible redundancy version. Alternatively, the E-DPCCH is turned off and a new transmission flag is transmitted by the UE only when a new frame is transmitted by the UE. NodeB then uses the presence or absence of that flag in conjunction with the absence of E-DPCCH to determine which redundancy version is to be assumed in decoding the frame received on E-DPDCH.
Abstract:
A method is provided for controlling communications between a base station and a mobile device. The method comprises enlarging a search window in which a transmission is expected to be received in response to the absence of an external timing signal, such as when the global positioning system (GPS) is shut down. Additionally or alternatively, the method further comprises altering the timing of a received signal relative to a search window, such as by delaying the timing of the received signal to move the signal toward the center of the search window.
