Abstract:
A method in a wireless communication network (100) wherein information is communicated in a frame structure wherein each frame includes multiple sub-frames, including grouping at least two wireless communication terminals in a group, assigning the group to less than all sub-frames constituting a communication frame, and assigning a radio resource assignment control channel of one or more assigned sub-frames to the group. The control channel is used to assign radio resources to one or more terminals of the group.
Abstract:
A base station (105) includes a scheduler (220) to determine a location of a user terminal (110) within a cell (125) of a wireless system (100). The cell has a cell boundary (125). The scheduler (220) also determines a subcarrier frequency diverse resource allocation for a call on the user terminal (110) in response to the location of the user terminal (110) being within a predetermined distance from an edge of the cell boundary (125). The scheduler (220) further determines a subcarrier frequency selective resource allocation for the call on the user terminal (110) in response to the location of the user terminal (110) being beyond a predetermined distance from the edge of the cell boundary. The base station (105) also includes a transceiver (215) to transmit the call according to the subcarrier frequency diverse resource allocation and the subcarrier frequency selective resource allocation.
Abstract:
A wireless communication device (200) including a first CRC coder that generates a first block of CRC parity bits on a transport block and associates the first block of CRC parity bits with the transport block, a segmenting entity that segments the transport blocks into multiple code blocks after associating, and a second coder that generates a second block of CRC parity bits on each code block and associates a second block of CRC parity bits with each code block. The first and second blocks of CRC parity bits are based on first and second generator polynomials. In one embodiment, the first and second generator polynomials are different. In another embodiment, the generator polynomials are the same and the transport block is interleaved before segmenting or the code block are interleaved before encoding with the second block of CRC parity bits.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for performing resource allocation with lower required overhead is provided herein. Resource allocations for data transmissions are chosen in such a way as to provide channel quality information for various parts of the channel bandwidth (frequency selective channel quality information), such as allocating two different resource blocks (on different sets of subcarriers) to a mobile unit for two different transmissions. These data transmissions are used to estimate frequency selective channel quality information, thereby eliminating or greatly reducing the need for channel sounding with a broadband pilot. As a result, the overhead on the uplink of the communication system may be significantly reduced.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus are provided for indicating to a communication unit a plurality of modulation and coding schemes (MCSs) to be utilized for communication. During a first MCS is determined for first resource blocks to be sent to a first remote unit or base station, and a second MCS is determined for a second resource block to be sent to the remote unit or base station. A message is transmitted indicating the first and the second MCS and also indicating the first resource blocks and the second resource block. Finally, a first PDU is transmitted to the remote unit or base station at a first time using the first MCS and the first resource blocks and a second PDU is transmitted to the remote unit or base station at the first time using the second MCS and the second resource block.

A method and apparatus for selecting interleaver sizes for turbo codes is provided herein. During operation information block of size K is received. An interleaver size K′ is determined that is related to K″, where K″ from a set of sizes; wherein the set of sizes comprise K″=ap×f, pmin≦p≦pmax;fmin≦f≦fmax, wherein a is an integer and f is a continuous integer between fmin and fmax, p takes integer values between pmin and pmax, a>1, pmax>pmin, pmin>1. The information block of size K is padded into an input block of size K′ using filler bits, if needed. Encoding is performed using the original input block and the interleaved input block to obtain a codeword block using a turbo encoder. The codeword block is transmitted through the channel.

Abstract:
An apparatus and method for transmitting and receiving data, wherein retransmissions of information can be a different size from the initial transmission. The invention utilizes a partial Chase encoder 306 to truncate or expand data depending on the availability of channel resources for retransmission. A partial Chase combiner 314 processes the received demodulated data based solely on the number of codes and modulation received (i.e., predetermined, with no additional signaling required). If the received retransmission is smaller than the first transmission, only a portion of the soft bits are combined. If the retransmission is larger than the first transmission, some values of the stored first transmission are combined with more than one received soft bit in the retransmission.
Abstract:
In a multi-carrier communication system employing adaptive modulation and coding, a receiver feeds back channel quality information for a “binned” group of subcarriers instead of sending an individual quality report for each subcarrier. A transmitter will utilize the channel quality information for the bin to determine a set of γeff values corresponding to a set of modulation and coding scheme candidates, where γeff is an effective SNR that would yield a same FER in an AWGN channel. The transmitter utilizes the set of γeff values to aid in determining a modulation and coding scheme, and determine a single modulation and coding scheme for all subcarriers within the channel.
Abstract:
A method of improving block turbo decoder performance that comprises receiving soft input information corresponding to a first set of constituent codes of a block product code, scaling soft extrinsic information from a second set of constituent codes of the block product code, processing the scaled soft extrinsic information and the soft input information to produce soft output information suitable for a soft-input soft-output decoder, and performing one or more of: modifying encoded bit positions of the block product code, modifying decoded bit positions of a the block product code, permuting decoding parameters of the block product code to effect a preferred decoding order, detecting cases where a number of test patterns is insufficient to decode the soft output information and thereafter providing a different number of test patterns suitable for decoding the soft output information, and adapting the number of test patterns in the soft-input soft-output decoder.
